    How to scrap the weirdest monitor ever

    Up until today I've never seen anything like this. Breakdown 1.) Get the stupid base off 2.) Pry these 2 latches off. 3.) Flip it over and pry 1 half off. You may want to use a hammer. 4.) Take this shield off. 5.) Separate the other half with board from the tube. 6.) Once your left with this there will be these 2 things holding the board down There will be 2 boards same process for both of them. 7.) Take off the yoke. 8.) Dismantle the board.

    Good break down, an good pictures showing it.

    I do the same when I get stuff like that. Hammer an screw driver work wonders, as does a chisel. I have several wood chisels that didn't cost much I use now an then for such things.

    i though i was about the only one using wood chisels
    they are invaluable

    i know that they have proven to be the the best tool for the job on many occasions.

    Great minds think a like MS, even if their on opposite sides of the world.

    I have two sets of wood chisels. One set is for scrap related stuff. Breaks I don't worry, go buy more. Yet to have one break tho. lol.

    Other set is for my wood working.

    One can find a use for any tool besides it's intended purpose a lot of the time.

    Nice job on the breakdown. S4E. Monitor almost looks like an old IMac.

    lol..you guys are funny.

    To answer you tho PJ...

    1. No I don't sell my stuff. I'm still learning it, it's more of a hobby. Maybe someday, for now I do it for my own amusement an sanity. It keeps the wife happy to. She ask for shelves I ask for a new saw. lol

    2. I know your joking of course, but I don't frequent wood working forums. This is really the only forum I participate in any more. I read others, but I'm not usually very active. Mainly cause I dislike trolls, an petty arguments an the like.

    That's the end of the Q&A portion of the event! Tip your wait staff an bartenders!

    I found a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle TV a couple years back. It was really cool, but very hard to open.

    Nice pics and break down S4E. What side of Toledo are you from? North, South, East, or West. I live in the South but grew up out East of Toledo. Keep up the good work. By the way, I completely agree with how invaluable a chisel can be at times. The right tool for the right job as they say. Work smarter, not harder, and all that jazz...

    I have found some weird stuff like that also, laptops with hidden screws make me so angry I end up smashing them open with a hammer. x-box's have no screws either, you need to pop them apart.
