Dismantling Your Asus 24" Monitor: Step-By-Step Guide

If you're looking to take apart your ASUS 24 monitor, there are a few steps you need to follow. Firstly, lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Then, remove the monitor stand and any screws at the bottom, which may be hidden under stickers or rubber covers. Be careful not to damage the LCD while prying open the case. You may need to use a thin, stiff prying device to help with this process. Once the case is open, you can access the internal components, such as the button board, cables, and motherboard. It's important to note that you should never touch the power supply, as it can be dangerous.

Removing the monitor stand

To remove the monitor stand from your ASUS monitor, you will need to follow a few careful steps to ensure you do not damage the device. Firstly, lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. This will give you access to the rear of the monitor, where the stand is attached.

You will then need to remove the plastic covers that are hiding the screws securing the monitor stand. Use a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger, to carefully pry out these covers. Be gentle, as you do not want to damage the plastic. Underneath these covers, you will find four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws. Remove these screws with a screwdriver.

Now you can remove the stand from the display. It is important to be cautious during this step, as you do not want to damage the display. The stand should come away from the display with ease, but if you are having trouble, check for any remaining screws that might be holding it in place.

With the stand removed, you can now access the internal components of the monitor, such as the button board and cables. Be sure to follow any relevant safety procedures when handling these components, especially if your monitor is still plugged into a power source.

To reassemble your device, simply follow these steps in reverse.

Unscrewing the rear

Firstly, you will need to remove the monitor stand. This will involve unscrewing the screws at the rear of the monitor that secure the stand in place. There may be four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws, or there may be a different number or type of screws, depending on the model. Some models may also have plastic covers over the screws, which will need to be pried out with a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger.

Once the stand is removed, you will be able to access the rear of the monitor. Here, you will find a single screw, covered with a warranty sticker, in the bottom centre. Remove the sticker and unscrew this screw.

Now, the front bezel can be removed. This is held in place by plastic clips that can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel with your fingers. It is important not to use any prying tools, as these could damage the LCD. Start at the top centre, then move to the sides, and finally the bottom. Pull the plastic edge slightly towards the outside, and pull it loose, working your way around all four sides.

Once the bezel is removed, you will have access to the internals of the monitor.

Unclipping the front edge

To unclip the front edge of the screen, start by placing the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Cover the edges of the display with a thin cloth to protect your fingertips and the LCD screen. Grip the bezel through the cloth and lift straight up, starting at the top centre, then the sides, and finally the bottom. Pull the plastic edge a little bit towards the outside, and pull it loose. Start by pulling with your hands. Using a screwdriver may damage the plastic and the clips.

The display bezel is held to the rear case by plastic clips that can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel. Be careful to pull straight up, and not to pry against the display. Pushing down on the display could damage it. Repeat the procedure around the display, lifting up the centre of each side. Move to the other long side and lift up on the centre of the bezel. Grip the centre of the final side and lift the bezel away from the rear case.

Each corner is secured by two large clips that can't be freed by just pulling straight up like you did with the sides. You'll need to push in on the corner clip on the left of the bottom edge of the bezel, while simultaneously pulling up on the lower edge of the bezel. The entire corner should pop free. Once you've freed one corner, you should be able to gently twist the bezel off, freeing all of the remaining corners.

Lifting the bezel

To lift the bezel of an Asus 24 monitor, you will need to place the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. The display bezel is held to the rear case by plastic clips that can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel. It is best to use your fingers for this step, as using a prying tool could damage the LCD.

Lay a thin cloth over one of the long edges of the display to protect your fingertips and prevent smudging the LCD. Grip the side of the bezel through the cloth and lift straight up. A few clips in the centre will pop free. Be careful to pull straight up and not to pry against the display, as pushing down on it could cause damage.

Repeat this procedure around the display, lifting up the centre of each side. Once you have freed the centres of all four sides, you can move on to the corners. Each corner is secured by two large clips that cannot be freed by just pulling straight up. Using a thin, stiff prying device, press in against the bottom clip in the lower left corner (beneath the HDMI logo). While pressing the clip in, pull up on the lower edge of the bezel. The entire corner should pop free.

Once one corner is free, you should be able to gently twist the bezel off, freeing the remaining corners.

Replacing the display panel

To replace the display panel of an Asus 24 monitor, you will need to first lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Then, remove the four rubber covers that are hiding the screws in the rear of the monitor. Use a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger, to pry out the plastic covers. Next, remove the four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws that secure the monitor stand. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the stand from the display.

The display bezel is attached to the rear case by plastic clips. To remove it, pull straight up on the bezel with your fingers. Avoid using any prying tools, as they could damage the LCD. You can use a thin cloth to protect your fingertips and the LCD from smudges. Start by pulling up on the bezel from the centre of one of the long edges, then repeat this process for the other sides. Finally, grip the centre of the last side and lift the bezel away from the rear case.

Now, you will need to remove the corners. Each corner is secured by two large clips that cannot be released by simply pulling up. Using a thin, stiff prying device, press in against the bottom clip in the lower left corner (underneath the HDMI logo). While pressing the clip in, pull up on the lower edge of the bezel. The entire corner should pop free. Repeat this process for the remaining corners.

At this point, you should be able to gently twist the bezel off, freeing all the corners. Carefully lift the LCD out of the rear case, being mindful of the thin ribbon cable that attaches the row of adjustment buttons to the display. Take care not to damage this cable.

With the casing removed, you now have access to the internal components of the monitor, including the display panel. To replace the display panel, simply follow the above steps in reverse.
