Can someone tell me how to open the case of my Samsung 932BW? There are no screws on the back or front. I need to open it up to take a look at the capacitors. Thanks.

The case is held together with plastic finger hooks type setup, it goes together real easy but hard to separate. I use thin flat blade screw driver to crack it open starting at the center bottom edge and then work your way around, when you get the bottom, left and right side part way open, you will then lay it face down and then pull the back up, just watch out for the cable attached to the front bezel.

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses, poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed SAMSUNG monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

When you have it open per suggestion above, then look through my SAMASUNG albums so you will know what bad caps look like.

Hello,

The flickering picture usually indicates that the power supply is failing. The most likely cause of the power supply failure like this is capacitors either drying out or bulging from over heating. We have a page on our web site at: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/capacitors/ This article wexplains what capacitors are, what you will need to look for to identify the failures and which brand and series to get tof rht replacements. In most cases you can open the monitor and look over the power supply and see obvious bulging on the capacitors that are failing. If you replace them you should be back in business. If you have additional questions just let us know.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

reynolds3d, Nothing new here. Happens a lot. 932BW will need to have some work done to the unit's SMPS probably. Read my fixya profile and make decision on what you will do based on info found there. 12fixlouie

This is a bit tricky, but not impossible.
1. Remove the two visible screws near the bottom. 2. Pull the plastic covers off the stand: Pull from the inside (nearest where the stand is attached to the monitor. 3. Undo the screws and remove the bracket. 4. Under the bracket is the final screw. 5. Try pulling the front off the back starting at the bottom. It'll require a little force. 6. Now you should be able to get a knife in to pull the rest of the case off. Leaver by pushing the front outwards and back inwards and the clips should come off ok.

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.
