Hey Guys,

Anybody ever have their monitor lock screw turned too tight, and now they can't get it off the handle? Mine is currently stuck to the handle, and I can't seem to turn the lock screw at all, doesn't budge. Any idea on how to get the monitor off? Thanks guys.

It happens to me on a regularly basis even though I'm careful not to tighten it too much.

Have now invested in a big pair of pliers so I can very carefully loosen it.

But would welcome a better approach.

I used a pair of plyers with a rubber piece wrapped around it, still couldn't get it off. Even bent some of the plastic already.

In this order...Tapping, Lubricant spray, heat (with a torch). Heat almost always works, but it's the most dangerous. Get professional help, if possible.

I had the C300 LCD monitor stuck after a very long bumpy ride. I had to go back to the room in the night and use a rough cloth for grip and then remove the monitor after a bit of struggle. At times when I don't tighten the monitor it comes off the handle. I thought I was pretty abusive with my equipment and pushing it to the limits and such stuff is kind of acceptable. So I am surprised to hear that others have had such an experience.

This all sounds like the start of a great script to a short move.
