Sony FW900 repair

Hi,

unfortunatelty my Sony Monitor has developed some Problems. There seems to be some cold solder points at the Input connectors... first the VGA port startet making problems leading to the screen switching to black when the plug wasn't slightly pushed towards the front of the monitor. Then the BNC port also started making problems..

I was thinking of opening it up and checking the solder joints. Before I take this 42kg Monster apart... Does anyone know how these Trinitrons are put together and if it is easy to reach that back panel? I dont want to destroy my back trying to open this up and then finding it impossible to put back together due to the weight of the tube. My workaround is pulling the VGA cable forward with some tape... which does look sort of ghetto :D

I dont want to scrap this, because I still love the image quality and resolution options.

thanks!
