I have a Benq PD3220U monitor and recently made the mistake of being a little too liberal with window cleaner when trying to clean some fairly stubborn dirt spots off it. Some of the cleaner dribbled down to the bottom of the screen, seeped through the gap between the screen and the bezel and the picture now has some funky vertical lines at that spot as well as a nice general washout. Ugh.
I'd like to get the back off it to dry it out and clean it off with some alcohol electronics cleaner, but I can't for the life of me work out how to get the damn thing open. There are 4 screws around the VESA mounting plate which I've removed, but no other screws or screw covers that I can see. There looks to be a single plastic spring clip at the bottom, but pushing it in doesn't appear to do very much to enable removal of the back. It feels like it's retained all the way around somehow.
It may just be a case of prizing as gently as I can all the way around, but I'd rather not risk breaking the plastic if there is some trick to getting it apart.
Has anybody ever done this before?
