Back Panel Removal on a Sony XBR65X800h
This is a unique set in regards to the back panel. It is a full rear panel, top to bottom. Minimal screws on the bottom and none on the top similar to Samsung’s screwless back panel. How does this come off? Does it pry off like the Samsung TV’s? To be clear this is not the half back panel that the slim Sony’s have. This is a full back panel. Unique to this size of tv. The image above is the actual set.
I removed 5 screws. 4 where the wall mount would screw into the set and one by the power plug.
Looks like the bottom is held in with plastic clips which I have released. The sides and top all seem to fit into the front frame all the way around so no way of hitting the bottom to have it slide up. Maybe the front frame has to come off first? The rear panel is connected to the front panel frame.

I just opened this TV. There are only 5 screws (4x for the tv mounting and 1x by the power cord plug in). Then you have to pull and pop off the back panel by pulling and yanking quite with some force. There are tabs with slots all around the the back panel (3-4 tabs on the left, right and top). The bezel has the tab with the insert piece. Some small plastic bits broke off in a few places, but to didn’t really matter. I replaced the main board and the TV started working. Just pop everything back in place the best you can. Good luck. This was on a Sony purchased from Costco in 2021. Bravia XBR 65X81CH.
