Motherboard in my monitor seems to be attached to the metal case with the help of a DVI port in addition to a screw. After removing the screw it is still impossible to take the board out of the case. I need to inspect it and replace damaged capacitors if required. Can anyone explain how to disconnect the board from the port?

    Not without seeing it, or knowing what it is. Also, what makes you think it's going to be something as simple as capacitors, or even that you will be able to identify which capacitors, or that they're even mounted as discreet components, solderable? – Tetsujin May 23 '21 at 15:46
  • @Tetsujin, concerning your question: well, I'm listening what are your suggestions. – Noir May 23 '21 at 16:23
  • Show us your work. Right now all we're doing is guessing. – Tetsujin May 23 '21 at 16:24
  • But this was not a question on how to repair damaged circuit boards. You would like to find out what happened to them? – Noir May 23 '21 at 16:36
  • so… tell us what the board is, or provide a photo. I keep asking, you keep ignoring. My comment on the chance of repair was actually based on your demonstrable skill in taking it apart in the first place. – Tetsujin May 23 '21 at 16:38

    At a minimum it would be good to see a photo of the area you think is holding the connector so that we could say for sure. – Mokubai May 23 '21 at 17:02
  • @Tetsujin, well, take a look, if it's not too much trouble to you. This is power supply board, motherboard which I disconnected thanks to Mokubai seems to be OK. https://ibb.co/kDxCRr7 https://ibb.co/NjQFgdG – Noir May 29 '21 at 03:36
  • idk what I'm supposed to be looking for, other than the charred bit top right, which doesn't look promising – Tetsujin May 29 '21 at 06:14

Usually you would unscrew the standoffs connecting the port to the metalwork.

These things should simply unscrew from the connector:

  • Possibly a good bit of mind-reading there;) I'd assumed they already did that…. – Tetsujin May 23 '21 at 15:50
  • @Tetsujin I would assume as much, but there's nothing else I could think of around a DVI connector that would be holding it into the metalwork. Everything else on the actual connector holds it to the PCB... https://uk.farnell.com/molex/74320-1007/dvi-conn-rcpt-29pos/dp/1509323 – Mokubai May 23 '21 at 16:03
  • For sure - might be me assuming too much, but I'd have thought … "It won't come off. I wonder if taking those two big, obvious nuts out might help?" ;)) – Tetsujin May 23 '21 at 16:05
