SHD Support - 1703 1303 – SmallHD – Technical – Acrylic Panel Screws too loose

1703 1303 – SmallHD – Technical – Acrylic Panel Screws too loose

PROBLEM

screws only turn ¼ each way to allow the screen to be placed and then held against the monitor.

Then I show how easily the screws turn with just my finger.

The screws don’t come out of the monitor at all, they just turn the ¼ turn either direction – open with the flat edge of the screw head and then closed against the acrylic screen.

SOLUTION

The panel housing cover is easy to remove to access the back of the Panel Mount Screws.

Prep the unit by placing tape on both the Panel Mount screws and on the Speaker screen cover.  Be sure the Screen cover the tape is adhered to the cover and the Housing.

There are 6 screws holding the Housing cover on. Once removed, be careful to push the button pad through so it does not come with the housing cover.

Once off, you can apply some light locktite (blue 242 or sim) or some thermal tape in layers, to add some tension/ friction to the screws.  

You can test this as you go to get the friction point where you prefer.

Then replace the frame and you should be good to go.
