Hi all,

I do have 2 avants (28" 50Hz T8111). One is looking beautiful but has a blown tube and the other is looking awfull but has a working tube.

So... change the tube and inner components from the one, to the other to get a nice looking working television. I run into problems however:

How do I remove the front screen cover (the black cover with bang & olufsen written on it), so I can take out the tube. Does anybody know?

Kind regards,

BART (The Netherlands)

Hi BART

In order to loosen the front cover-screen, u have to find two "black holes" in the lower backframe.

Here u will finde 2 very special screws whit nubheads ( dont remember if its 7 or 8 mm )

U will proberbly need an exstension to ur tool, to get in there.

When the bolts are unsrewed, the rest is easy :-)

Kind regards

I hope Bart didn't wait right next to the Avant until his question was answered...

 

... a year later 😁

Trigi, sorry for the joke, it sure was nice from you to answer his question.
