Rear Panel on Beovision 8-40

4 replies

Hi All,

I am looking for some help on accessing the rear panel on my BeoVision 8-40.

I am preparing to sell various bits of kit and am trying to get at the serial number sticker, but it is behind the panel. The user’s guide says to push the panel to the right, the image shows arrows indicating it moves upwards. Either way I cannot see how to remove it and I don’t want to force it with a screw-driver!

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Tim.

Away from the back and a little bit downwards. But serial is also visible in the service menu (monitor)...

Pull from the bottom and be a bit rough with it. :)

Thank you both - all sorted
