Description: A short look inside a ViewSonic VG2438Sm Model...

Steps:

  1. Model No. VS15964
    2. Step image
  2. Remove the stand by unscrewing the four Philips screws at the Vesa mount
  3. Open the case by prying on the edge with a suitable tool. I had to use a a opening pick to open the gap wide enough to be able to insert a flat screwdriver.
  4. After inserting the screwdriver or a jimmy, bend the handle to the backside of the monitor. So that you lift the front bezel from the hooks and free it.
  5. After opening two edges, be careful, since the panel and the logic board are only held in place by the closed case.
  6. You probably will damage the case a bit during the process.

  7. Flip the back side of the case to the right
  8. Be careful with the wire to the USB hub. It's just long enough to flip the case and lay it down.

  12. Here is the PSU and the logic board.
  13. This is not secured against the panel. It's only laying on it and is held in place by the back side of the case.

  15. After this monitor was shipped there was a lose thing, that was making sound when moving the monitor.
  16. Since I didn't know what was making the sound and it could have been conductive, I wanted to check the inside before powering it up. Thankfully it were only some plastic things.
  17. They probably came lose from the back cover, where they hold the logic board in place.
