The problem is the instructions don't tell you about the missing (covered up) 2 screws. Go to YouTube and type in "Vizio LED Razor Flat Panel TV Neck Removal" or use this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkdYuaz7N-gYou are correct; you do use a screwdriver, watch the video and you'll where to use it. Good Luck!

From what I remember once they were unscrewed it slid out pretty easily. Took two people to.do it though. It was quite an easy setup though. Great tv.

if you notice in the picture on the top horizontal bar end bracket there is a hole. there is a tool that comes with the mount that fits this hole and rotates the bar ( the bar has a flat side to allow it to fit into the opening on the bracket that attaches to the TV) you insert the tool rotate the bar to lock the mount to the bracket and rotate the bar in the opposite direction to allow you to remove the TV from the mount. you can also slide the mount on the brackets that are anchored to the wall studs left or right to get the TV aligned properly.

the bracket that is fastened to the TV attaches to the swivel plate on the base and if there is a safety screw it would be located on the top where bracket meets bracket. remove the safety screw and lift up and pull out at the same time and the TV should come free of the base. very easy to remove and replace, i move mine to another room and set it on its original stand then put it back on the swivel mount.

Miguel, the base consists of two parts. one is the stand and the other is the swivel, where two small screws go up inside. Very difficult to install screws....you need a small long shaft phillips head screw driver to do it. Put some sticky stuff on end of driver to help hold screw. Before assembling base, make sure swivel part with knurled knob will slide in track rear of tv. loosen knob if necessary. Now install base to swivel with the two small screws provided. Hope this helps. BTW, weak point of tv is the whip antenna,be very careful installing.

Because its such a heavy duty mount your gonna want to hit a stud. easy way to do it is get a magnet and find a nail. I altered the mount a bit and flipped the plates that hold the wall so the hinge is on the outside. then I mounted them butting the corner to hit the corner studs. I have a 42" TV and it will actually clear the hinge and flush out with both walls. Solid mount.

There is no room between the wall and TV to use a drill to tighten it once you have the TV. To mount the mount to the wall yes you will need a drill. After that find someone with small hands to tighten the screws to prevent the TV from falling off the mount.

There is a tab you push against with a small screwdriver in the slot on the bottom of the unit, which will allow you to "pop" it apart, giving access to the screw mounting holes and battery compartment. Pull the unit apart with your nails while depressing the tab. Good luck!

I used 2 of the tv's mount holes. Top 2 if top mounting sound bar or bottom 2 if bottom mount is better. Just loosen one side at a time and slide the bracket under the wall mount bracket and return the screw and tighten back down leaving it only finger tight. This way you can center the speaker before you do your final tightening. Enjoy your purchase... Mike

There is no quick release, in so far a separate plate that remains on the TV and would lock into a plate on the mount. As difficult as it is to put the TV on is about how hard it would be to take the TV off, in my experience. Good luck.

Trash the TV. Other options include drilling the screw holes a little larger to accommodate the old screws. You could also glue it, as you will probably not replace it again.

I don't consider it easy. But it is straightforward. You would loosen the screws securing it to the mount, lift and pull in from the grooves in sets in, remove the plate/mount attached to the TV and then reattach the base it originally sat on. Then it would be moved and set up as is usual.

It's been awhile since I owned this TV, but if I remember correctly there are mounting screws at the back rear of the TV and also on the bottom of the stand....all must be removed before the stand will come off.

Yes, unplug the cables and loosen two twist nuts on the sides and it pulls right off the mount.

Removing the Pedestal Stand: 1. Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat,cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave the stand protruding over the edge of the surface. Extreme care should be used when removing the stand. Remove the Jack pack cover on the back of the TV to expose the pedestal stand screws. The Jack Panel cover can be removed without tools. Remove the five screws. This will allow removal of the pedestal stand by sliding the pedestal stand away from the TV.

Any Wall mounting kit will come with all the screws you need, you cant mount a TV to the wall without a one.

I used a small blade to remove the 4 screw adhesive covers and a small Philips screw driver to remove all external screws then the internal 4 screws mounting the LCD between the metal bracket.

It is very simple. Just slide the base on to the anchor pins that are on the TV back and secure with a couple screws. Done.
