WESTINGHOUSE SK-26H730S CASE REMOVAL	Can't Post

Hello All,
I’m trying to fix this TV for my son. I need to get the case apart but have had no luck.
Removed all the screws and still nothing. Has anyone ever had one of these apart?
I would start prying but I don’t want to crack the screen.
Please Help!!!!

Probably like computer monitors. Have claws/tabs that hook back-to-front (or front-to-back).
I take a 3/4" wide (semi-flexible) putty knife and starting at a bottom corner carefully insert and gently pry/twist while looking in the gap for the tab locations. They are usually evenly spaced. Cool

Thanks Much!
I'll give it a go tomorrow. got to bring the set into work.
I'm a tech in another electronics field, but TV isn't one of my specialties.
There is a guy here who has worked TV for 25 years and he couldn't pop it open.
we are trying to silence the power supply. it hums when off.
I'll post when we figure it out.
Thanks again.....

jts1957 Thanks!
Got the case off using a slim putty knife and half of a clothes pin to keep open the part that just let go. Kinda like a tire iron. Have to take it easy and be patient. We removed the tin and the cover to the power supply board. There looks to be a cap and resistor pair that are singing with the power off.We applied a generous amount of RTV to the two components. That should do the trick.
I really appreciate your advice,
Brian.
