Unluckily my bebook fell, and now the display gives a picture that is similar to those of broken LCDs. The buttons work, something happens if I press the keys, but the display shows just black and white line, with a split in the type of the image. This split in the broken image looks visually like a crack, but the display looks fine (so no broken glass or similar). My hope is, that maybe just the controllerchip got broken, or some display connects get lost.

My main quesiton is: How do I open the case. on the backside I remove 4 screws (battery cover, and from three holes: top right, down left+right, top left hole seem not to contain a screw). But the case is still closed. Before I apply brute force, maybe someone here knows how to open it in a way, that it can be closed again.
