I looked at the website for manuals; there ain't none! Then I looked at my monitors. They appear to be like the clam shell design with no apparent fastening screws. This means that the 2 halves were snapped together.

Try and ask at your local Best Buy, CompUsa, etc. as to how they would dismantle it.

I recently took my LCD apart (Samsung) and it was clipped together. There were like 4 hidden screws then the rest was pried open carefully with a precision screw driver. It's really not too hard, you just have to be patient not to break the clips, although I broke my first one close to a screw because I couldn't figure out how they worked. Went much smoother after that.

Thans for you guys time but i figured out what was going on with my monitor. it turns out it had something to do with the programing in the monitor, monitors send and recive information from the computer and there is something mest with the software in the monitor. i thought base on it symtoms there was something wrong with the componites, i could spend 40 or 50 buck and a program to fix it but i dicied to buy a 32 inch tv as a monitor but thans for your guys help
