I removed the stand with no problem, but there are no screws to be removed to open the casing. I am assuming (although I know assumptions don't always get you far) that it is closed up with tabs. Is there a place to start prying this thing apart that will allow me to safely release the tabs without doing damage to the screen itself? The lamp is needing to be replaced, but I obviously have to get to it first.
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no exact instruction, but first thing you have to do is to remove the stand, then starting at the bottom edge of the case using thin flat blade screw driver to pry open the case up and then work your way around the case, you can also look at YOUTUBE, just search for 'how to repair LCD monitor', 'How to open LCD monitor'
Bad caps (leaking/bulging top) are common failures. http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
First, lay the tv/monitor on its screen on something level and soft as not to damage the screen. Remove any visible screws that seem to attach the base to the unit. Some models you have to look under the base for pins orso to push together to slide the base from the stand, only then you could reach the 1 screw holding the monitor to the stand....Once stand removed, remove any screws you see holding the monitor casing together, usually only a few screws since they are mostly held together by plastic "clips"...Once screws are removed, then gently insert a flat(screwdriver orso) inbetween the case?housing, repeat this all the way around the case/housing till completely loose....You will prob have a few wires or maybe a ground wire that you would have to remove before completely being able to seperate both sides(front case, back case)..Sometimes you might have to unscrew and remove the skinny washer/nut around the cable input orso..
Good luck!
Need to remove all the screws on the back and the screws deep inside the base to remove the stand, then use real thin wide flat blade screw driver to separate the front and the back panel. You should lay the TV down with front on the floor.
Hi...there,
It's open from the front bezel of the screen.. Place a piece of cloth or fiber cloth over the screen and carefully lifted up the bezel... do the same from other angles...
I hope I can help, It doesn't open from the back, it opens from the front.... carefully! There are four support screws, which hold the LCD screen to the desk stand,after removing all the support screws (4) on the back under the support stand cover.(which pull up to remove) (Remember! the whole case and face frame is plastic, so take your time). Work to separate the black face frame around the LCD from the silver case. Its held together by small plastic clips on the face frame to the wall on the LCD case. Start at one of the corners and slowly pry the face frame and silver case apart. (separate it inch by inch, work your way around the case carefully. If one corner doesn't give, go to another side.
Putting back together works reverse, the face frame and the case snap back together, Carefully! And replace screws (4).

P.S. I have three LCD models from Westinghouse, LCM-22w2, L2210NW and the L1916HW. They all open the same way.
Just managed to open a FP17G+ monitor. My hope is that FP17G is similar and that this comes in handy.
There are 5 screws holding the casing together. Four are in the corners (black screws on my monitor). The 5th is right under the monitor stand (silver screw on my monitor.
To open the monitor, I had to:
1) Remove the monitor stand. To do so, you need to take out the two screws at the point where the base connects to the monitor (right above the pivot point) and slide out the monitor stand. THis should give you enough space to take out the 5th screw.
2) Unscrew the five remaining screws on the back of the monitor.
3) At the bottom edge of the monitor, there are two gaps between the front and back plastic panels of the monitor. You can place a wide screwdriver in this gap and gently pry apart the front and back of the monitor. Continue around the edge and the monitor will be open.
Best of luck... If you figure out what is wrong inside, let us know (I am trying to fix the same problem).
After you remove the stand, there is a metal plate under it which will come out. Underneath that there is one more screw, (the last one). After that, carefully pry the case apart.
What stand do you have? If it is screwed to the back with 4 or 3 screws, they must be removed first. look along the bottom edge and you will see 3 slots where the two outer cases match up. Put a flat screwdriver into the opening and twist, follow all the way around until you can remove the back half. Cut the tape holding the flat wire and remove the front half to remove the printed board under the front cover. You should now be inside the case. Remove the screws to remove the steal cover to find the printed boards under it. Reinstall is the reverse.
It is not initially obvious how to access this insides of the monitor
Unusually, access is only available through the front of the screen. The stand cannot be removed on this model.
You need to pry a screw driver (or two) through the four holes located at the rear base of the monitor and remove the front panel surround. The LCD panel and all electronics can be lifted out after removing four screws.
