How do you open up a Dell 700m laptop screen?

My dad's 700m started having sound issues and I googled it and found out it is probably due to a loose/broken wire for the speakers.

I have searched all over google and can't find any help on how to actually open up the LCD part. I read that the wire is easy to fix (just need to solder another wire to connect the broken one), just need to open up the LCD screen and the wire is near the hinges.

However, I can't seem to do that. I removed 6 screws on the bezel and the screen is still pretty secure.

Any tips or tricks on how to open it up? Maybe a guide of some sort? I couldn't find any info in the dell manual.

Thanks.


Edit: Did some more googling and found a good guide.
