LG 25UM58-P Teardown

– Start by removing the base plate—just undo the screw shown in the second image. Easy peasy! Keep an eye out for the captive D-Ring screw while you’re at it.

– Secure the stand to the monitor frame using those 2 Phillips screws – you got this!

– Give that small cover a little push down to pop off the clip like a pro.

– Now, slide it up to uncover the hidden screws waiting for you.

– You’ll need 2 x Phillips #1 screws for this part.

– Grab your Phillips #2 screwdriver—there are a pair of screws keeping the lower trim (the one with the LG logo) attached to the monitor. Time to set them free!

– With a little coaxing, the lower trim piece will pop right off.

– The screen is secured by an intricate system of clips and tabs. The best strategy I’ve found is to gently pry at the display and work it loose.

– Use guitar picks to keep the display panel elevated and stop it from snapping back in place.

– Take your time working around the edge of the display and gently release all the clips. Once you’re done, the panel should come right off, nice and easy.

– The rear cover comes off the LCD panel, revealing the surprisingly tiny control board hidden inside.

– Check out these close-up shots of the clips and the nifty mechanism that keeps the rear cover snugly attached to the LCD panel.

– It looks like your device sports a panel model: LM250WW1. The LCD itself has the part number: BBSU1V 3467C2, and the rear housing bears the part number: MCK67880501. When working with these parts, double-check their numbers to make sure you’re on the right track. If you need a hand along the way, you can always schedule a repair. Proceed carefully, and good luck with the repair!

– Take a closer peek at how everything is mounted! You’ll notice a set of plastic “rods” that slide right into the slots on the frame of the LCD panel. Once they’re in place, those “rods” will click snugly onto the clips of the rear housing, just like you saw in Step 8!

– Taking a peek at the motherboard markings, it looks like the same PCB is also used for the 34UM58. Pretty neat, right?

– Oh, and the part number for this board is 692M000F-002 63624404. Keep that in mind as you work!

– Grab 4 trusty #1 Phillips screws to fasten the hinge plate snugly to the back of the LCD panel.

– Use 2 #2 Phillips screws to keep the hinge firmly attached to the LCD panel.

– Guide the cables out of the way so they don’t get tangled up with the hinge panel.

– Now that all 6 screws are out, you can lift the hinge assembly right off—easy does it!

– You can gently separate the LCD panel from the backlight—think of it as giving them some personal space.

– Part number: BBSU1V 3467C2

– Disassembling this monitor can be a bit of a head-scratcher, so buckle up!

– Just a heads up, removing the LCD panel from its frame is likely to lead to some serious shattering—unless it’s already seen better days.

– Keep in mind that replacement panels can cost just as much as a whole new monitor, which makes fixing it a tough call.
