Remove the Back Case

Figure 2.3 on page 10 shows the typical construction of a 15-inch display. Disassembly usually starts with removal of the back case. For assistance with disassembly, consult your particular manufacturer's service manual. Carefully lay the monitor on its face on the padded work surface and remove the screws that attach the back case to the bezel or frame.

While removing the back case, note the clearance between the inside rear surface of the case and a small circuit board plugged into a socket on the end of the CRT. If there is not enough clearance to move the CRT and this circuit board about.25 inch (6 mm) toward the rear of the case, you may be unable to successfully install a touchscreen on the display and completely reinstall the back case. Contact Elo Application Engineering, (1-800-557-1458 x6) for possible alternatives.

After the back case is removed, the CRT is substantially exposed. Use extreme care when working around the CRT.

WARNING Impact or force against the neck of the CRT, or the pins at the end where the small circuit board is attached, could crack the tube, resulting in loss of vacuum or implosion of the tube. Either result destroys the CRT. Implosion (collapse of the glass inward, caused by the high vacuum inside the tube), followed by the rebound of many glass pieces outward, is potentially lethal to anyone in the immediate area. Handle the CRT carefully, keep tools away from the CRT, and wear protective clothing including eye protection and gloves.

Discharge the CRT

WARNING Dangerous voltages may be present on the CRT anode. The anode may retain a very dangerous voltage even after the display has been off for days. While most CRT monitors now incorporate bleeder circuits to discharge the CRT, one must not assume that the CRT is properly discharged. Accidental contact with the anode lead or anode button (the small hole in the CRT glass where the anode lead is attached) prior to discharge may result in a potentially lethal shock. Follow the procedure below carefully.

The anode lead of the display feeds high voltage from the flyback transformer to the anode button on the CRT. The anode lead is usually red in color, and the actual connection to the anode button is usually covered by a large rubber suction cup-like boot. In most displays, the button is located on the tapered face, or bell, of the CRT glass near the top of the display. See Figure 2.3 on page 10.
