How to disassemble screen and open up tablet portion of Acer Switch 11 V (SW5-173-632W)?  Need to replace video cable - main screen has stopped displaying video, can connect to 2nd monitor and have 99% functionality (1% is a bit small for main monitor failure but this is bedroom media streaming entertainment device until I can repair/replace main monitor).

Cannot find any guides/technical or amateur/ nor can I locate any videos based on this particular model.  I'm assuming there is glue/tape holding screen in place on chassis?  Is this a heatgun situation and/or is there a specific place to start with the separation of screen from chassis?  Please advise and thanks in advance!

There are four little screws on the bottom, one on each side the two voids where the keyboard is held in. Once they are out you turn the screen so you can get to the upper right corner and gradually pry the right side apart, then do the same on the left side and finally work the bottom side. It should be easy at that point to get the top apart.
