    never even touched one, but I'm guessing they are under small rubber pads.

    Google it, there will be guides stepping through the dis-assembly.

    Yeah under the pads. You need a T6 torx screwdriver for 2 screws inside, T8 for the rest.

    even i wouldn't go anywhere near the insides of a TV. LCD yeah, but definitely not a CRT. they have baaaaad voltage in there.
