How to open AppleVision 1710?

So the horizontal deflection on my AppleVision 1710AV has been playing up for a while, so today I decided to open up the monitor and have a look. I've been following the Apple Service manual, and I have the sound enclosure, as well as the microphone off (which is no big deal, I actually fitted them originally, as it was originally a 1710) I've also removed all the screws from the sides of the monitor (and broke two of those STUPID screw covers in the process :-/ ) as well as the two from the bottom. However, the case does not want to come off. It seems to be catching somewhere around the top. How can I get this blasted thing open?

Thanks in advance.

 
Try a sawzall. It'll open like a drunken virgin on prom night.

Seriously though, there might be some hidden internal tabs or releases that you have to push in on. Feel around the edge of the seem, and see if you can feel anything.
