I remove the front panel, then place it on it's back with the screen facing up. Then remove the frame to expose the tabs. Power the set up and press on each tab with a finger tip looking for changes in the picture. There are probably videos on Youtube showing the process more clearly than I am explaining it.
I tried that and it works somewhat. What I did find out is if that the bolt hole on the back has a bolt in it and you pull it backwards it works fine. I told the fellow that he might could do that and anchor it to the table it is on. That way it works and has a safety strap of some type on it.
