Monitor - Updated Listing Fitment Issue (Includes Standoffs)

[GarnetKoebel]

Currently building one of these. The updated monitor listing does fit with a caveat.

The display mainboard has standoffs affixed to it that need to be removed in order to fit in the enclosure. This combined with how the mainboard is glued to the display can cause issues as the screws are threadlocked with threadlocker blue.

I reccomend some gentle heating of the display to ease the threadlocker assuming the build in question is fine leaving the screws in place. Otherwise the mainboard will need to be removed.

Yes, I totally forgot about that step! My apologies. The display does come with standoffs. I removed them by using a razor blade to VERY CAREFULLY cut the foam tape that holds the board to the back of the display. There is two ribbon cables to watch out for when cutting. Once free be careful not to pull on those. I then removed the standoffs with a screwdriver and pliers to hold the standoffs. I removed the original foam tape remnants and applied new foam tape and put it back together using the front screen enclosure 3D print as a guide. The board should be flush with the bottom of that piece for proper fitment as it could effect the button alignment if it isn't.

This is a frustrating part of the process but I decided to design the screen enclosure with them removed to keep everything slim. I will make a note to add this step to the build guide.
