Yeah, you need to disconnect the cable for the remote. There's not a whole lot of slack. The remote end is probably easier. Then there's the 15-pin connector at the back. That's it for connectors.

For panels, remove the back plate behind the marquee light. Then remove the monitor bezel.

Then undo the four bolts at the corners of the frame.

And that's it. The monitor can be then pulled out.

Here is a video I found after making this makeshift guide, definitely worth a watch...





This will start you off, it is recommended to have a friend present your first time:

Unscrew:

You DO NOT need to unplug the remote board here, but if you can't reach it on the chassis via the back entry panel, is an option for you.

Unplug:

Beware:

Then the fun part. I lay cab on the back, unscrew the last 4 big bolts that hold the monitor in place, lift and rotate clockwise (but if you are hulk is not necessary). Put it back together :awe:

I forgot one thing, at 9min:30sec in the youtube video, he rotates the monitor "frame" (black part around monitor". Many screws and quite annoying... this is one thing i like about blast city, it just pops in/out in 10 seconds.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.
