Black dots from wet screen / removing bottom panel
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2015 8:04 am
The other day, my precious five year old was helping my wife and I clean up the house and he thought it would be a great idea to spray glass cleaner on my Samsung (HL-T5076S) 50 inch DLP-TV. This has seeped into the screen and has created black dots/lines across the screen. I've tried to use a hairdryer to dry out the cleaner, but I'm afraid I was too late.
I've also tried to disassemble the TV to take apart the two screens in front (which is my understanding on how the Samsung DLPs are) and wipe off any excess moisture, but after taking off the back panel, I couldn't separate the bottom front panel (where the sound speakers and the Samsung blue light is) from the back panel. It seemed attached and I couldn't find a place to remove it, which made it impossible to remove the screens from the front bezel/case.
Does anyone have an idea on how to remove the screen from this tv or how to detach the bottom panel from the rest of the tv (or at least from the back panel?)
Also, has anyone dealt with this issue with this model? I'd love to hear how you fixed this issue. Thanks!
