Now that the case is open, you'll need to remove some parts to get to the screen. The screen is connected to the circuit board by a couple of flat connectors that pop off. Simply slip a fingernail under the connector on the side away from the wires, and pull up. They should come off with fairly gentle pressure.



The top of the palm (where the power switch is, thanks to user FM9295 for pointing out that this was a bit unclear) will pop off at this point, allowing you to remove the circuit board. Be careful, the power button on the top of the device is not actually connected to anything. I ended up spending some time on the floor searching for it.



The screen can now be removed from the case. BE EXTRA CAREFUL FROM HERE ON OUT! LCD displays are notoriously fragile and brittle, so use caution not to bend it in any way!
