The panel consists of several plastic sheets which
can be processed.
A final consideration is that of the backlight which
must be removed prior to processing. These may
be present along the bottom, or either side of the
display as a strip of lights.
Lighting may be arranged across the entire back
board of the display.
Displays of this kind will have Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs).
A power cord or other external cable(s) plugged
into the back of the LCD can easily be removed by
hand and/or screwdriver (atypical power cord
shown in the picture on the right).
Capacitors larger than 25 mm are located in the
power supply units and can be removed by nipper.
They can be difficult to remove by nipper due to
having shorter leads. In this case, the capacitors
can be removed by melting the solder fixing the
capacitors to the board.
