Thanks, with a bit of leverage I got it out, I was just a little cautious in case there was an additional attachment. But now I have a different problem :( Whilst adjusting the geometry (case open) it crashed with a fatal error and froze. I reset and now the screen now only shows a big black and white checkerboard pattern. This looks bad, I think it's dead, recycling the power has no effect. Any ideas??
