Last month, while helping a friend repair a store advertising screen, he squatted behind the machine and started sweating: "Where is this socket hidden?" "In fact, finding the display socket is like playing an escape room. The key is to understand the design rules. Last year, a shopping mall installation team spent two hours looking for the interface, and finally found it hidden on the side of the heat dissipation hole - this was enough for them to be laughed at by their peers for three years.

​Common hiding spots revealed​
• ​​Bottom groove protective layer​ ​: 80% of outdoor screens have the interface hidden under the waterproof cover, and you have to use your fingernails to open it.
• ​​Modular seams​ ​: Rental screens often design the socket into a buckle structure, which pops up when pushed.
• ​​Inside the radiator grille​ ​: In order to save space on the ultra-thin screen, the interface area will share space with the heat dissipation channel.
A stage designer told me that one time when he had to dismantle the screen in an emergency, he couldn't find the socket. Later he found that he needed to use​ ​Magnetic tools​ ​It will pop up only when you click on a specific position. Nowadays, new models are marked with hidden markings.

Special note: encountered​ ​Hexagonal nested interface​ ​Don't plug it in hard, it's a dedicated port designed for integrated signal and power supply. If you plug it in wrongly, the motherboard will be burned.

​Guidelines for dealing with difficult situations​
• ​​The interface is rusty​ ​: After spraying WD-40 and other rust removers, blow with a hot air gun at 60℃ for 30 seconds before pulling out.
• ​​Broken buckle​ ​: Find a paper clip, bend it straight, and insert it through the emergency hole to trigger the unlocking mechanism.
• ​​Logo wear​ ​: Check the wire color ring - the black wire corresponds to the power port, and the blue wire connects to the signal port
The most difficult case we handled last month: the seafood market display screen was corroded by salt spray, and 8 of the 12 interfaces were welded shut. Used later​ ​Ultrasonic cleaning machine​ ​It took half an hour to save it. This lesson tells us that when installing a screen at the beach, we must choose a gold-plated interface.

Next time you encounter a missing display interface, remember to circle the device three times. Don’t panic if you really can’t find it. Those with​ ​24-hour technical response​ ​Manufacturer, remote video guidance is ten times more effective than reading instructions. After all, professional things need to be done by professionals, right?
