Before disassembling your television, ensure that all cables are unplugged from their power source to avoid serious injury or death from electrocution.
Lay the TV flat with the screen facing down.
Remove the four, 12mm Phillips #2 screws from the back of the TV stand. Support the TV from underneath as you remove the screws, so the bottom does not fall on the table.
Remove the stand by lifting it away from the TV's backing.
