Salvaging electronic parts:Compaq P-910 monitor
 
This monitor was made 13 years ago,so I guess that makes it ancient in computerland.No regrets for me
taking it apart then.Unscrewing the four screws in the back and lifting off the housing reveals an Aluminium
covering.
It has quite a few screws holding it,so the simplest way is to remove all of them you can find.
By now you can easily remove the covering and some other loose pieces of metal.
As always be careful with the HV stuff:the suction cup on the screen and the HV transformer.
It isn't difficult to remove the circuit board,but sometimes you have to hunt for the places were the
screws are.
 
On the bottom you can find a very useful Aluminium perforated tray.
