You remove the stand and all the screws, then use the flat blade screw driver to crack open the case, srating at the bottom center and work your way around. When you get the bottom side and the left and right side crack open just enough, lay the monitor face down on soft surface then lift up the back cover to release the top side edge.
Be real careful on the cable attached to the front bezel.
See example here; http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/ACER/

Make sure to replace the caps in a set using low ESR type caps.

Lcd acer al1917w dispay problem

If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years.

Acer al 1914 nothing but rainbow-like vertical lines. Started after moving the screen.

The ribbon cable connections betwen the LCD panel and the logic board may have come loose, you should check that first, worst case will be the LCD panel, also inspect for any caps with domed tops while you are at it also. See the pcitures here:

Look for bad DC filter caps and open winding on the inverter transformer.

If you are going to DIY and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:

My model is ARB 1914 CC nine years old.

your "damper vent door" located between the refrigerator and freezer compartments is frozen open or the cold adjustment contron in the refrige is bad and not powering the door as you change the temp set for the refrige and leaving it open,if the door is frozen from ice/frost just de-ice it with a hair dryer and then set the temp adjust and see if it opens and closes with any adjustment

Monitor Acer Al 1914, no signal

Check your connections to the PC. Make sure that they are nice and secure. If there is a resolution problem setting it should display the boot process and then go blank after starting the operating system.

LCD Monitor Acer AL1717 shtting down problem

Hello,

Aside from the capacitor and IC, there's a relay that you need to change. You need to locate that defective relay on the PCB and replace it.

It would be best to consult the manufacturer of the LCD and get the exact part number of it.

Have a great day!

Regards,
