Removing the base stand - Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U 42 in. LCD HDTV

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.

For the ASUS VH197D LED Monitor, turn it upside down so you are looking into the base of the stand. Squeeze the plastic tabs to unlock the base and pull. This will remove enough of the base to make it wall mounted and you can quickly attach the base if so desired. If you want to permanently remove the base and stand, remove the two screws that are now visible after the base is removed and pry out the plastic stand. This will break it off at the hidden screws. You will be left with a short metal stub that can be folded in.

Remove the remaining screws of the stand and try to remove the stand, if you cant you will need to remove the back cover of the TV and then you will be able to remove the stand, remove the broken screw and put it all back.

It is pretty easy but if you feel you cant do it let me know and I can give you a detailed step by step guide.

There are 4 screws on the back of the TV just above the base stand, remove those screws and then you can slide down the stand and remove it.

On the bottom of the Element FLX-1910 there are 4 tabs located on the bottom side of the base. With the help of another person, please slide all 4 tabs in an inward direction.
