Removing The Viewsonic Vx2757-Mhd Monitor Base Easily

If you want to remove the base of your ViewSonic monitor, the first step is to unplug the monitor's power cord and disconnect it from your computer. Next, lay the monitor on its side on a towel to avoid damaging the screen. Depending on your monitor type, you will then either slide the monitor base forward to access the locking tab on the sub-base or locate the locking knob on the bottom of the base and turn it counterclockwise. Finally, pull the base away from the monitor.

Unscrew the base from the monitor

To remove the base from your ViewSonic VX2757-MHD monitor, start by unplugging the monitor and placing it face down on a clean, flat surface. This will give you access to the base and prevent damage to the screen.

Next, locate the screws that hold the base in place. On the ViewSonic VX2757-MHD model, there are two screws at the bottom of the monitor, on either side of the "arm" portion of the stand. Use a screwdriver to remove these screws.

Once the screws are removed, carefully lift the base off the monitor. If any cables are stuck, use a flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool to gently pry them loose.

Now you've successfully removed the base from your ViewSonic VX2757-MHD monitor. You can clean the area underneath and around the monitor to prevent dust and debris build-up, which could potentially cause damage. Remember to replace the base when you're finished, to protect the monitor and make it easier to move.

Slide the monitor base forward

To remove the base of a ViewSonic monitor, you must first unplug the monitor's power cord and disconnect all cables from the computer. Place a towel on a flat surface and lay the monitor screen-side down.

Now, you are ready to slide the monitor base forward. This action will enable you to access the locking tab on the sub-base, which is located at the bottom of the monitor. The sub-base is the component that connects the base to the monitor, allowing the base to pivot. By sliding the monitor base forward, you will be able to reach and manipulate the locking tab to initiate the process of detaching the base.

As you slide the monitor base forward, be gentle and ensure that the monitor remains stable and secure on the towel-covered surface. Once you have slid the base forward sufficiently, you will be able to see and access the locking tab. The locking tab is a crucial mechanism that secures the sub-base to the monitor.

In the next step, you will lift the locking tab with your thumb and slide the sub-base towards the front of the monitor. This action will release the sub-base and the base from the monitor, allowing you to completely detach them. It is important to perform this step carefully and deliberately to avoid any accidental damage to the monitor or its components.

Pull up the locking tab

To remove the monitor stand base and the stem, you will need to first lay the monitor unit face down on a flat surface. Use a soft material or the soft bag that came with the monitor to avoid damaging the screen.

Now, you are ready to pull up the locking tab. This will require some force, but it is important to be gentle and controlled to avoid damaging the monitor. Place your fingers on either side of the locking tab and pull firmly and steadily upwards. You should feel the locking tab release, and the base should now be free to be removed.

Once the locking tab is released, you can finish removing the base. To do this, 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. Unscrew one from each side. Do not pull the monitor forward or backward; instead, slide the arm down and out of the slot. A metal bracket from inside the monitor will come out with it. You may need to gently shimmy the arm from right to left to fully detach it.

Now that the base and stem are removed, you can proceed to mount your monitor on a stand or wall.

Slide the sub-base forward

To remove the ViewSonic VX2757-MHD monitor base, you must first place the monitor on its side on a flat surface, preferably with a towel underneath to avoid damaging the screen.

Now, you are ready to slide the sub-base forward. This action is necessary to access the locking tab that secures the sub-base to the monitor. The sub-base is connected to the bottom of the monitor, acting as a pivot point for the base. By sliding it forward, you will be able to disengage the locking mechanism and separate the base from the monitor.

When sliding the sub-base forward, be gentle and use a smooth, controlled motion. Grasp the sub-base firmly but carefully, and move it towards the front of the monitor. Ensure that you do not apply excessive force, as this may damage the components. It is important to maintain stability and avoid any abrupt movements that could affect the positioning of other parts.

Once the sub-base is slid forward, you will be able to see and access the locking tab. The next step will be to pull up on this locking tab with your thumb and slide the sub-base further towards the front of the monitor, completing the detachment process.

Remove the sub-base and base

To remove the sub-base and base of the ViewSonic VX2757-MHD monitor, follow these steps:

• Unplug the monitor power cord from the power source and disconnect all cables connected to the computer.
• Place a towel on a flat surface and lay the monitor on its side on the towel. This step is important to protect the screen from any damage.
• Slide the monitor base forward to access the locking tab on the sub-base. The sub-base is connected to the bottom of the monitor, and the base pivots on it.
• Pull up on the locking tab with your thumb and slide the sub-base towards the front of the monitor.
• Remove the sub-base and base away from the monitor.

Additionally, if you need to remove the base post (stem) from the monitor for mounting on a stand, you can follow these steps:

• Locate two small screws on the back of the monitor, between the monitor and the stand-post, just at the top of the stand-post.
• Unscrew these two screws.
• Slide the post downward and out of the monitor.
