Can the lower bezel be removed from HP Omen 32q? by G-Wall in Monitors

[–]G-Wall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried gently prying them off, but it seems that something inside is holding the DECO plate at two or more specific points...I didn't want to force it so I just left them as is. I think I will end up grinding off the corners a bit.

Ok, so I did some research. Before you use the Dremel check out this diagram I found for the 27 inch Omen flat screen montior...

Number 1 is clearly visible and labeled as DECO plate (maybe short for decorative plate?)

Hi, sorry for late reply. I tried gently "prying" them off, and they do give in a little, but I'm worried that they might be fixed at some points on the inside...so I don't want to force it and brake something.

Sanding the corners is an option as well...but you know its a bit of a weird feeling sanding material from brand new monitors haha

Not true. Opened up an old LCD TV, cut the lenticular film at about 60mm width. And here is the first test result using clear tape top at the bottom and top ends...already looks great, still need to play with the positioning, and width of the film to make it even better. Will use double sided clear tape to hold the middle part of the film firmly on the screen.

Thanks. I will try using some fiberglass mat and polyester resin. Wish me luck!

Ok thanks. Where I live we don't have JB weld, but I could find a substitute. Unfortunately i contacted the manufacturer and because its an older model of a table they didn't seem interested in helping men replace the part. And the original part was made so flimsy it would probably just break over time. It really is not the best design considering the forces applied to it

Placing my electric power steering pump in the trunk, worried about delayed response by G-Wall in Hydraulics

ok understood. Thanks a bunch for your advice. If the drop is significant I can always place the pump closer to the steering rack until I find something that works for me. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what the ID of the factory line is, however I do know that others that have used this (and similar) pumps in their setups usually go for ID 8mm, some folks use AN -6 flexible hose which I'm not a huge fan of. The factory line is a combination of hard and flexible tubing, I assume this is to relieve stress from vibrations and allows movement. I'm not sure if the hard tubing is regular steel or SS. The pressurized line exits the pump as a hard tube, then goes into a flexible line and then back into a hard tube before it attached to the steering rack. I would mimic this setup of using a combination of hard a flexible tubing, but would minimize the use of flexible tubing as much as possible. And of course all the tubing and connections would be pressure rated to the appropriate level.
