Complete unit



Rear panel



First glimpse inside: after removing the ventilation grill in the base of the unit



Next I removed a back panel holding the fan...



A small number of minor injuries were now sustained...



More blood, if you like



Some time later I finally managed to remove the cabinet



Here it is from the rear. Notice the large springs, the entire internal circuits are mechanically sprung mounted to the cabinet



Closeup. Connection to the plasma panel is by conductive plastic ribbons



Closeup of one of the mechanical vibration isolation springs, and a note about the plasma voltage



This shows the ribbons going to the plasma panel, and some of the very thick circuit boards.



This is what the removed case looks like. Probably anodised aluminium.
