Dismantling Ve278 Monitors: Removing The Base Safely

The VE278 Series monitor stand can be removed by first disconnecting the power and signal cables. Then, place the monitor face down on a clean table. Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the stand to the monitor. Finally, detach the stand from the monitor. It is recommended to cover the table with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the monitor.

Disconnect power and signal cables

To remove the base from an Asus VE278 monitor, you must first disconnect the power and signal cables. This is a crucial step as it ensures that you can safely detach the monitor's stand without the risk of electric shock.

Before you begin, make sure you have unplugged all cables connecting the monitor to a power source and your computer. Once you have confirmed that the monitor is disconnected from power and signal sources, you can proceed to the next step.

It is important to note that you should always handle cables with care to avoid damage. Gently pull the cables out of their ports, taking care not to bend or twist them excessively. If the cables are difficult to remove, check for any latches or locks that may be securing them in place and release them before attempting to disconnect the cables again.

Additionally, it is recommended to label the cables or take note of their orientation to facilitate easier reconnection when you need to reassemble the monitor. Properly managing the cables will also help you avoid misplacing or losing any of the components.

After you have successfully disconnected the power and signal cables, you can move on to the next step in the process of removing the base from your Asus VE278 monitor.

Place the monitor face down on a table

To remove the base from an Asus VE278 monitor, you will need to place the monitor face down on a table. This is a crucial step to ensure the safety of the monitor and avoid any accidental damage during the process of detaching the base. Here are some detailed instructions to follow:

Firstly, choose an appropriate table or workbench that is clean, smooth, and free from any dirt or debris. Cover the surface with a soft cloth, preferably a thin one, to provide an extra layer of protection for the monitor's screen. This will prevent scratches or any other type of damage to the monitor while it rests face down.

Now, carefully lift the monitor and place it face down on the prepared table. Ensure that you hold it securely by the stand to avoid any accidental drops. With the monitor in this position, you will gain access to the screws that secure the stand to the rest of the monitor.

Before proceeding, make sure that the power and signal cables are disconnected from the monitor. This is an important safety precaution to prevent any electrical hazards during the disassembly process.

With the monitor securely positioned face down on the table, you are now ready to begin the process of detaching the base. The next step would be to use a screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the stand to the monitor.

Remove the screws securing the stand

To remove the screws securing the stand of your Asus VE278 monitor, you will need to first disconnect the power and signal cables. Then, carefully place the front of the monitor face down on a clean, smooth table. Covering the table with a soft cloth is recommended to prevent damage to the monitor.

Next, locate the screws that secure the stand to the monitor. You may need to pry out plastic covers with a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger, to access the screws. Once you have located the screws, use a screwdriver to remove them. Hold the stand of the monitor while removing the screws to prevent the monitor from falling.

After removing the screws, you can detach the stand from the monitor. Be sure to follow any other relevant safety precautions and refer to the user manual for additional information.

Detach the stand from the monitor

To detach the stand from the monitor, you will need to first disconnect the power and signal cables. Then, carefully place the front of the monitor face down on a clean table. It is recommended to cover the table surface with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the monitor.

Next, you will need to remove the screws securing the stand to the monitor. Hold the stand of the monitor while removing the screws with a screwdriver. Once the screws are removed, you can detach the stand from the monitor.

If your monitor is a VE278Q or VE278H model, the screw size is 4 x 10 mm or 4 x 12 mm, respectively. Additionally, the VESA wall mount kit (100 x 100 mm) can be purchased separately if you plan to mount the monitor on a wall.

For the VG248 model, there are four rubbery covers hiding four screws in the rear of the monitor that need to be removed. You can use a stiff pointed tool, such as a metal spudger, to pry out the plastic covers. After removing the screws, simply remove the stand from the display.

If you are removing the stand from a VE278Q model to create a triple monitor setup, you may need to create a custom fix to improve stability. This can be done by cutting an aluminium angle bracket and drilling holes to screw the bracket to the back plate of the monitor.

When reattaching the base, attach it to the arm and fix it with a screw to join them tightly. You can then adjust the monitor to the desired angle.

Use a stiff, pointed tool to pry out the plastic covers

To remove the base from an Asus VE278 monitor, you will need to use a stiff, pointed tool to pry out the plastic covers. This is a crucial step as it will allow you to access the screws securing the monitor stand.

Before you begin, lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. This is important to prevent damage to the screen. Make sure you have a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger or a bricklayer's tool. You will use this to carefully pry out the plastic covers. Be gentle and take your time to avoid damaging the plastic.

Starting from the bottom, near the buttons, use your tool to gently apply a bit of force to separate the cover. Slide your tool every 5-6 cm, the space between the grips, to continue prying off the cover. You may need to apply a bit of strength, but be careful not to damage the plastic. Once you have removed the plastic cover, you will be able to access the screws securing the monitor stand.

After removing the plastic cover, the next step is to remove the cable for the buttons and the light sensor. Be careful when handling cables and internal components. Now you can move on to removing the screws and detaching the stand from the monitor.
