Chris,
You won't be able to get your display assembly apart without damaging
the top cover, since it is glued on (for some odd reason, Mark Jones
thought his plastic Wallstreet was assembled like our Titaniums...the
assembly instructions are not at all interchangeable). It's like
popping the cap off a beer bottle--the metal lid will bend as you try
to break the glue seal. If you try to loosen the glue with heat,
you'll probably damage the LCD screen.
Your best bet would be to live with the dent, unless you come across
a small enough vacuum device that's used to pull dings out of car
doors.
