<\/a><\/div>\n\n\nHow to Remove a TV From a Wall Mount<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\nUnplug the Wires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Unplug](\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/bigstock-Technician-Installing-Tv-Set-T-107247566.jpg\")
<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe first thing you need to do to remove your TV from its wall mount is to unplug everything. If you have a video game console, movie player, and other accessories connected to your TV, make sure to disconnect them and set them aside. You will want to unplug any power cables as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tilt and Lift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Tilt](\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Tilt-and-Lift.jpg\")
<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nDepending on the size and weight of your TV, it\u2019s best to have a friend with you before you attempt this step. Take ahold of the bottom part of your TV and then tilt it gently towards you, while also making sure that the top part remains against the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re having a hard time lifting the TV after tilting it, don\u2019t force it. Your wall mount might have a safety lock mechanism. Make sure to unlock this before you fully dismount the TV from the wall mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your TV wall mount can come with either a screw, bar, or pull-string lock. Your wall mount manual should tell you the right information. A screw lock is likely located towards the bottom. Unscrew the lock using the proper screwdriver before you proceed to the next step. If your wall mount comes with a bar lock, the bar will slide horizontally along the back of your TV. A pull-string type safety lock, on the other hand, has strings that are often placed on either side of the TV. You will need to pull these strings in order to unlock the TV from the wall mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWith the safety lock finally taken care of, it\u2019s time to lift the TV from the wall mount. For best results, have a friend hold one side of the TV while you hold the other. Lift the TV upwards slowly until it comes off of the wall mount completely. Gently place the TV face down on a blanket or another soft surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
