Oh Fate - how cruel ye are (broken hinge)

[Dan K]

It's kind of hard to explain the construction of the display edges, much 
easier to show with a photo. But in the meantime I'll attempt some 
asci-art of a cross-section through the display side edge:

        ____________ - front bezel
side   |      ----
       |  HH |    |-------------/ - front surface of LCD
       || HH |
flange -| HH |     LCD
  weld-|| HH |
       || HH |____________________/
       |__________________________/- back bezel
               back

flange = "metal strip"
HH = hinge

The flange is welded to the back bezel along the side and top edges. It 
underlaps the side edges of the front bezel. By slipping a 
thin-plastic-strip-tool into the side edge seam angled from the display 
back toward the front, and sliding it along that seam I was able to pop 
apart the bezels. At this moment I'm not remembering exactly which parts 
came apart . . . I'm going to do it again with another display I just got 
and will take pics and notes this time.

Again, I've gotta get details up on a page . . . sigh.
