[* black] We temporarily shift our attention to a more screw-y, less glue-y portion of this desktop, in the hopes that we will have more luck in removing it.
[* black] Lacking a specialized tool for the job, we hand-beast the hinge casing off the back of the display. A slew of tiny clips keep it tightly stuck, with no adhesive or screws.
[* black] Underneath lurks a pair of antennas, significantly-more-than-a-pair of springs, and loads of screws.
