Remove the stand from the display.
Step 4
- The display bezel is held to the rear case by plastic clips that can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel.
- Rather than use any prying tools that could damage the LCD, it’s best to just pull with your fingers. A thin cloth will both protect your fingertips and prevent you from smudging the LCD.
- Lay the cloth over one of the long edges of the display.
- Grip the side of the bezel through the cloth and lift straight up. A few clips in the center will pop free.
- Be careful to pull straight up, and not pry against the display. Pushing down on the display could damage it.

You could yes, but be very careful NOT to introduce dust into the panel!

Hi. A really small bug got stuck within my screen and I accidentally squished it so now it’s dead in there and I want to clean it. How would I remove the top layer of the screen? Because from what I can see it seems like it got squished between the glass and the actual LCD screen itself.
