Potentially stupid question, but i'll risk it. While attempting to secure a bundle of wires to the back of the TV I dropped something through one of the vents, can I take the rear half of the TV off without ruining it? It's a Samsung LED HDTV.

I've read that messing with any of the screws which hold the TV together can change the uniformity of the backlight, don't know if there's any truth in that.
 
people tear down displays all the time to replace bad caps in the power supply


unplug the thing first...right?
 
its not a big job. just take it apart and don't use too much force.
 
Okay, thanks. I've disassembled countless electronics over the years but I was still getting nervous about it.

long as you're not taking it off with a sledgehammer :p
 
Making a quick reply to say that I did it today and everything went fine. So in case anyone happens upon this thread with a similar question, slow and steady is the way to go.
