Wall mounting tv. How do I get the base Off?

The wall mount attaches to the top 1/3 portion of the TVs rear panel. The bottom of the back of the TV should not interfere with your wall mount if it's the correct size. Full instructions are listed starting at page 39 of the manual.

Without knowing the model of your TV, it may be tough, but typically it's 1 or 3 types:
- the whole base is a single piece that slots into the bottom of the TV, with a clip release.
- the base removes from the stand, and the stand removes from a slot in the TV. This may be fastened with clips or screws.
- the base is screwed into the TV, and you'll have to remove these to remove the stand.

If that doesn't help, please provide more details, like the make and model of your TV.

What you need to do is with the model number GOOGLE to see if you can find a service manual or even a owners manual.

Most of these sets you carefully lay the set on a padded surface face down and look at back-----should be four or more recessed holes with bolts that secure the base to the back/bottom of the set.

Most of these also you have to remove that base to get the back off which is a hint---usually no small screws but bolts.

Hope this helps you

Place the TV face down on cushioning. There are four short hex head screws that hold the TV to the stand. There are two on each side of the mounting point (close to the bottom of the TV). (Turn counter-clockwise to loosen.) Next slide the base down from the bottom of the TV. The appropriate sized hex key was supplied with the TV (and the base was installed). If you want to, you can unscrew the support post from the base - it has 4 long hex head screws. This will let you put the base parts into an appropriate container for storage.

For a clear picture, see the manual for installing the base and work the steps in reverse. See here for a copy of the manual: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/search?query=LC46SB54U+ .

To put on the wall mount, you will need to remove the covers from the 4 mounting locations on the back of the TV and use the screws from the wall mount bracket kit.

I hope this helps.

Hi there,
We had the same problem, we just wiggled it back and forth, gave it a good tug, and hey presto! We got it out. I'm not sure whether this is the "official" method of doing it, as nothing is mentioned in the instruction manuals.
Good luck!

just spoke with a Coby technician. Where the base connects to the TV you can literally just squeeze in those the plastic pieces and they come right off. After that just unscrew the screws underneath. Just did it and it was very easy.

You have to take the back off.

to remove base from insignia tv
1)remove plastic cover from bottom rear of tv
2)remove 8 philips head screws on rear of tv above base
3)pick up tv and base will come off

once you remove it you realize how easy it is

If you ever get the base off, I'd like to buy one.

I just repaired a 26" in which the stand came off after I took the primary panel off in the middle of the back then the screws were visible that Olevia is talking about. You might have a different style but it does come off.
