Need a good source for taking apart a 23" HD Cinema display

Does anyone have a good source (an Apple service manual would be ideal) of instructions for taking apart a 23" Apple HD Cinema Display (Aluminum)? I've poked around online but haven't found anything great. Thanks!

Oh my. Any bets on how long that stays online before Apple's legal team has their way with it?

I don't think so (or they aren't able to properly use a search engine).

oh, somewhere between the n and the t is one of the search results ;-)

Once inside, check the VR3 3.3VDC REGULATOR center pin to make sure it is putting out 3.3v, bad one will put out about 4vdc. It is very common problem with this 23" aluminum case.

See my pictures here:

Hi

I have a blank screen (No Lights or display) I have followed your advice and tested the VR3 Regulator. Center pin is 1.96 DCV and Right pin 5.1. Assuming this show that it is faulty I was wondering the part number i should order and maybe where you were able to source it.

Also being surface mount is there any issues with DIY or would it be worthwhile finding a new board.

Thanks in advance

and a disassembling "guide" for the 20" CLICK
