Thanks, everyone. Bought a Mac Mini off eBay this week, with the help of advice received on this very forum (and others) earlier in the month. Just arrived today and I'm futzing around with getting it set up. This is a terribly basic and not at all Mac-specific issue, but...

Last night I bought and carted home the flat panel monitor named in the title above (at B&H on 9th Av. at 34th, which any Manhattanite here probably knows). Um, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to attach the plastic base to the upright screen part. Embarrassing, yes.

The instruction sheet, infuriatingly, offers not a single word or picture about this part of the setup; it assumes the base is already attached and goes from there.

I can't figure out if this is my usual cluelessness with matters mechanical, or if there's a little part or two missing. Very difficult to explain - wish I had a digital camera available and could just snap a couple pictures and post them. So does anyone own one of these and can tell me what to do with the combination screw/nut/bolt doohickey that I can't seem to make do anything useful? Or does anyone know where online I can find more detailed instructions for this make and model?



Thanks.
