After the screws are loose, carefully separate the case. You will not have much room to work because of wires connecting the two halves.

Caution: The LCD display is held on by nothing other then pressure from the circuit board. It will fall out very easily after you remove the PCB so be careful not to drop it.

Remove the 4 screws holding the printed circuit board to the face plate (see screw locations in picture below).

The case halves can now be safely pulled apart and the PCB removed (again, be careful you don't drop that LCD when pulling apart. It will break very easily).

Note: You could skip this step if you feel that you have enough working room with the PCB mounted in the case. I personally wanted to remove it from the case so I could easily sand and solder it. If you want to sand and solder while in the case then skip this step.
