Removing Stand from an Acer Monitor

If you had problems removing the stand of an ACER monitor when you want to wall mount it, here's a tip on removing the stand to avoid further mess removing it.(note: applicable only to this kind of monitor and other ACER brand with the same style of stand)

Mine was an ACER X193HQ, i had hard time finding way to remove this, google didn't help me well...




To remove the base, just press that red spot from the image in your stand  and pull its base.

To remove the stand, it is screwed behind its cover (a 1.5x 1.5 inch cover, on both sides, one with those blue arrows). You have to remove first the cover, to do that, you need to have 4 pieces of thin metal to insert on those blue arrows to lift the latch of the cover, once inserted, you can then remove the cover without destroying its latch.

There are four screws to remove connecting the stand, after removing, you can return the screws and cover back in place.

My covers were whacked, all four latches cracked, i used double sided tape to put them back. But this won't affect the perfomance of the monitor. (sorry no cam for now)
