Disassembly
1. Place the TV set face down on the foam bars. Place the
bars at the edges of the set so they will support the front
frame, and not only the glass plate!
2. Remove the four T25 screws (1) that hold the plasma
panel.
Note: In some models, the upper left T25 screw is hidden
under the Ambient Light Inverter panel. Remove this panel
to get access to it.
3. Remove the fifth T25 screw that is located near the SSB.
Note: In some models, this fifth screw is hidden under the
SSB. To get access, you have to remove the four T10
screws (2) that mount the "SSB connector plate" to the
frame. Then, lift the complete SSB unit away, so you can
remove the hidden screw (4).
4. Remove all T10 tapping screws around the frame (4).
5. Next step is to unplug the following connectors (see also
