Studio Display USB-C Boards

Before You Begin

Danger

Ensure that the power cord is not plugged into an electrical outlet.

Remove the following part before you begin:

Tools

  • ESD-safe tweezers

  • Nylon probe (black stick)

  • Support wedge for tilt-adjustable stand

  • Support wedge for tilt- and height-adjustable stand

  • Torx T3 screwdriver

Removal

Important

Ensure that the support wedge is between the housing and the stand to keep the display in place.

  1. Use the T3 screwdriver to remove the four T3 screws (923-05561) from the USB-C board connector cowlings. Then remove the two cowlings and save them for reassembly.

  2. Use the black stick to lift the ends of the two flex cables off the connectors.

  3. Use the ESD-safe tweezers to peel the top layer of the polyester film tape from the USB-C boards, starting from the bottom-right corner.

    • Note: If you plan to reinstall the existing USB-C boards, save the tape for reassembly.

    • Important: Don’t remove the adhesive layers directly attached to each of the USB-C boards.

  4. Use the T3 screwdriver to remove the six T3 screws (923-07144). Then use the black stick to remove the boards from the housing.

Reassembly

Important

The USB-C boards are marked L and R near the barcode to indicate their position. The markings may be different than the image. Failure to install the boards in the correct positions will prevent the display from connecting to a Mac.

  1. Position the left and right USB-C boards in the housing. Then gently press them into place.

  2. Use the T3 screwdriver to reinstall the six T3 screws (923-07144).

  3. If you’re replacing the USB-C boards, peel the polyester film tape from the adhesive backing. If you’re reinstalling the existing USB-C boards, skip to reassembly step 4.

  4. Position the polyester film tape over both USB-C boards as shown, starting from the top left corner. Run the flat end of the black stick along the length of the polyester film tape.

    • Important: Position the polyester film tape so that the protective strip is in the bottom left corner. Use the black stick to adhere the polyester film tape behind the right speaker cable.

  5. Press the ends of the two flex cables to the connectors.

  6. Position the two USB-C board connector cowlings over the ends of the two flex cables. Use the T3 screwdriver to reinstall the four T3 screws (923-05561).
