so around the start of the school year i was helping the EAST lab at my school troubleshoot computer problems (such service that has landed my "apprentice" and i an honorary seat in my district's IT department) and helped take out a bunch of faulty monitors
well the teacher was good friends with my sister and so she's pretty positive towards me and as such gives me a lot of extra privileges
these privileges include letting me take home a faulty monitor to dissect it
so the monitor sat around for like, two months before i finally got around to taking it apart
after about an hour's work, here are my results:
the overview of the mess i made
circuit board stuff
the silver circle thingies are the monitor speakers and the orange thing is the control board from the front of the monitor, the rest of the stuff in that bag is stuff like lcd number things, microchips, and wires from my dad's days in electrical engineering
the back of the screen itself, i haven't taken it apart yet due to the ominous warning about mercury being in the screen's fluorescent lamp
the front of the screen
the dumbass who kept trying to eat all of the screws
some of these pictures are bad so if you want better ones then let me know
discuss i guess and tell me if taking apart that screen will be the worst decision of my life or not
