Removing Viewsonic Vs16770 Monitor Base Stand: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you want to remove the base stand from your ViewSonic VS16770 monitor, you'll need to first unplug the monitor and place it face down on a towel or soft surface. Then, locate the screws on the back of the monitor that attach the stand to the monitor. Unscrew these, and then slide the stand downwards to remove it. You may need to wiggle it a bit to get it to come off.

Unscrew the screws on the back of the monitor

To remove the base stand from your ViewSonic VS16770 monitor, you will need to access the screws on the back of the monitor. These screws are located at the bottom of the monitor, to the right and left of the "arm" portion of the stand.

First, ensure that you have unplugged the monitor power cord from the power source and disconnected the monitor cables from the computer. Place a towel on a flat surface and lay the monitor on its side on the towel to prevent any damage to the screen.

Now, you are ready to begin the process of unscrewing the screws on the back of the monitor. Using the appropriate screwdriver, locate the two screws on the back of the monitor, one on each side of the "arm" portion of the stand. Turn these screws in a counter-clockwise direction to unscrew them. You may need to use some force to turn the screws, but be careful not to strip the threads or damage the screws.

Once the screws are removed, you can slide the "arm" portion of the stand down and out of the slot. Be gentle and careful during this step, as you do not want to damage the monitor or any internal components. A metal bracket from inside the monitor may come out with the stand, so be prepared to catch it and set it aside safely.

In some cases, you may need to wiggle the stand slightly from side to side to loosen it before sliding it out. Do not pull the stand forward or backward, as this can damage the monitor. With a gentle touch and some patience, you should be able to successfully remove the base stand from your ViewSonic VS16770 monitor.

Slide the arm down and out of the slot

To remove the base stand from your ViewSonic VS16770 monitor, you'll need to slide the arm down and out of the slot. This process can be tricky, so here's a detailed guide to help you through it:

Before you begin, ensure you have placed the monitor on a flat, stable surface with the screen facing down. This will prevent damage to the screen and accidental injuries. Now, let's begin:

• Locate the two screws on the back of the monitor, at the bottom, to the right and left of the "arm" portion of the stand.
• Using the appropriate tool, unscrew one screw from each side. Keep in mind that the directions mentioned here are in relation to how the monitor would normally sit on your desk.
• Without pulling forward or backward, carefully slide the arm down and out of the slot. You may need to gently shimmy the arm slightly from side to side, but avoid moving it front to back.
• As you slide the arm out, you will notice a metal bracket from inside the monitor coming out with it.

It is important to be cautious during this process and not force the arm if it doesn't slide out easily. You may need to wiggle it a bit, but excessive force is not recommended.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully slide the arm down and out of the slot, allowing you to remove the base stand from your ViewSonic VS16770 monitor.

Place the monitor face down on a towel

To remove the base stand from your ViewSonic VS16770 monitor, you will need to place the monitor face down on a towel or soft material to avoid damaging the screen. Here are some detailed steps to guide you through the process:

Place the monitor on a flat surface: Choose a flat, stable surface to work on and place your monitor face down on the towel. Make sure the towel is large enough to cover the entire screen to protect it from any scratches or damage.

Unplug the monitor: For safety reasons, it is important to unplug the power cord from the power source before proceeding. Also, disconnect all cables connected to the monitor to ensure no accidental damage occurs during the process.

Locate the screws: Depending on your monitor model, there might be screws attaching the base stand to the monitor. Usually, these screws are located at the bottom of the monitor, on either side of the "arm" portion of the stand. If they exist, unscrew them to detach the base.

Slide the arm: If your monitor has an "arm" or "neck" connecting the base to the monitor, you may need to slide it down and out of its slot. Gently wiggle it and slide it downwards while pulling slightly. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the components.

Remove the base: Once the screws are removed and the arm is disengaged, you can now remove the base stand. Gently pull it away from the monitor, being careful not to scratch or damage the screen or any other parts.

It is important to be gentle and careful throughout the process to avoid any accidental damage to your monitor. Additionally, make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the manufacturer for your particular monitor model.

Remove the locking tab

To remove the locking tab, you will need to first place your monitor on a flat surface. Ensure that the screen is facing downwards and that the monitor is switched off. You can place the monitor on a towel on a table to avoid damaging the screen.

Now, locate the locking tab on the sub-base. This is found at the bottom of the monitor, where the sub-base connects. Pull the locking tab upwards with your thumb and slide the sub-base towards the front of the monitor. You may need to wiggle it slightly from side to side. This will disengage the hooks and allow you to remove the sub-base and stand from the monitor.

Another method, if you are removing a ViewSonic arm mount, is to unscrew the screw that holds the arm in place and then slide the arm downwards. You may need to apply force and wiggle the arm to detach it.

Pull the base off the monitor

To remove the base stand from your ViewSonic VS16770 monitor, you'll need to place the monitor screen-side down on a towel on a flat surface. This avoids damaging the screen.

Now, you're ready to pull the base off the monitor. First, locate and remove any screws attaching the base to the monitor. There may be two screws on the back of the monitor, at the bottom, to the right and left of the "arm" portion of the stand. Unscrew one from each side.

Once the screws are removed, without pulling forward or backward, slide the arm down and out of the slot. You may need to wiggle or shimmy the arm slightly right to left but not front to back. Be prepared to use a GREAT deal of force, as this can sometimes be necessary.
