Does anyone know how to open a Dell Ultrasharp 3008wfp? Last Saturday I was just working on it and it shut off by itself. Since then, I have not been able to turn it back on (tried different cord, outlet, etc).
I am thinking either a fuse blew or the power supply malfunctioned.
I am pretty handy with electronics, but I have searched online and cannot find any repair or disassembly manuals. By extensive Googling, the closest account of how to take the 3000wfp apart is MisterDNAs post at http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036931373
I tried removing the front bezel, (silver aluminum part) as MisterDNA describes but by putting in a plastic credit card and twisting with a screwdriver, I have only been able to put it apart by a few millimeters. Now it won't close well anymore. I am damaging and not being able to take it apart!
I love this display! I downgraded for now to an old 22 monitor I had and am totally depressed! I would be forever in the debt of MisterDNA or anyone who can provide more detailed instructions on how to take this monitor apart without damaging it further.
Thanks in advance,
Marco
