follow with it. Some of the matboard backing might remain on the LCD bezel. This is normal
and remove it by hand.
Removing the Rivets
This step requires use of an electric handheld drill with a 1/8” bit or 3/16” bit and a #2 Phillips
head screwdriver.
All units use rivets to fasten the enclosure parts.
G1 Units
G1 units have 12 to 18 rivets. Some models also use 2 or more screws.
Count all rivets
before you remove them!
This is very important as each rivet has two pieces, one of which
will drop into the enclosure of the PhotoVu when you drill it out.
Use the handheld electric drill and a 3/16” bit. The goal is to remove the top part of the rivet.
This DOES NOT require a lot of pressure. Drill the middle of each rivet. The top piece of the
rivet should come loose. If not, apply a bit more pressure.
If you see screws within some of the rivet holes, use the #2 Phillips head screwdriver to
remove them. Please note, the screws can be hard to remove so make sure you use the
appropriate screwdriver. Do not strip these!
The LCD bracket and panel should now be loose.
G2 Units
G2 units have four rivets, two on either side of the enclosure.
Use the handheld electric drill and a 3/16” bit. The goal is to remove the top part of the rivet.
This DOES NOT require a lot of pressure. Drill the middle of each rivet. The top piece of the
rivet should come loose. If not, apply a bit more pressure.
