All;
There's a little metal 'tab' which holds up the frame which the screen sits in.
*That's* the tab you want to push up toward the prism. It's a little to the
left of the screen tab. Look closely, you'll see it. Then the screen and frame
will flip down 45 degrees and you can take the screen out by it's tab with
tweezers (or fingers).
