VTech VM3254 Monitor Circuit Board and Screen Replacement

Introduction

If there is no image coming from the parents monitor this could mean that both the screen and circuit board need to be replaced. In order to replace the screen, you need a Phillips #00 Screwdriver. In order to remove the circuit board, you will need a cord solder. This does not include any difficult steps, as long as you are gently removing the circuit board and screen.
