URGENT - Can anyone tell me how to remove stand from a Toshiba C3030D

[Sun]

Hello,

I've just spent a couple of hours wall mounting my 37" Toshiba, it's on and looks great however the one problem is i can't get the stand off for the life of me. It just clicked on when I got it but there is nothing in the manual about how to remove it and now my tv looks silly on the wall but with a stand sticking out

I'd love to know how to do it!

Cheers
Sun

right, all sorted now thanks to you HSC

As promised though I give you the amazing levitating TV!

Exact location of screws for anyone stuck like me

Yay, much better!

Please excuse the naff stand, it's left over from the previous tv, building a new one in the next few weeks that will hide the cables more as well. It's only a small room and the 5.1 is setup for the projector but now I'm going to have to reconsider the speaker placement as the tv gets far more use than the PJ, not to mention due to limited space the tv is slightly obscuring the front right.

Thanks again HSC, I owe you a beer.

excellent item in my opinion and a really great price, very well constructed and easy to mount, plenty of adjustment can be made as well. Holds my 37" perfectly.

thanks buddy.

When I see it I can't help but think it looks like it might snap off! seems like very little mount for a rather large TV!

You'll have to trust me it's very secure, as part of the instructions it tells you to put 25kg on weight on it to check (complete with smiley/sad face outcome diagrams). I pushed as much of my 13stone down on it as I could and it didn't budge.

Bargain I reckon.

If I stuck that into the walls we have here, it would just pull the wall to bits lol.

Sorry to bump this up, but I am having problems! Removing those screws has done nothing but lifted the back off a bit. not affected the stand. Need help!!!

 

[mentasm]

You didn't undo the posi head screws, did you? You need an allen key to do the recessed ones, then the stand pulls out from the bottom.

I tried removing the screws shown above but nothing happend. Then removed the bolts off the bottom of the stand, leaving a massive nut and bolt. removed that nut and bolt and left a massive screw. The average person probably couldnt remove it as its quite a big nut/bolt so that cant be the way to do it!

Any advice?

I undid the 5 labelled to allow enough flexibility to pull the "massive nut and bolt" out from the case. It required a bit of force but nothing excessive. If you're having no luck post a pic of what you're seeing and I'll compare it to my tv.

The trick is to take out the screws above numbers 2 and 4 in the photo above, in addition to the other screws listed. On my TV, these screws were firmly attached to the stand and there was no way it was coming off with them!
