You know there are four screws to the bottom casing? Two at the front
near the stand, and two under the VGA socket cover. The whole lot should
just lift off.

Once removed there are six more screws on the RF shielding, which then
needs a little fiddling to release, and then tilt back slightly to
'hinge' over the VGA socket.

Use a magnetic screwdriver as well, as the screws are easy to drop into
the casing.
