Removing mpc500 outercase?

Hi everybody,im desperate to know if anybody has information on how to remove the outer metal case(bit with all the writing) as i wish to buy a new one off mpcstuff.com.the one i bought of ebay has some scratches.i took out the 6 screws at the front and back and tried to pry it off with no luck?please help! and there is a spec of dirt behind the lcd display.

After taking off the screws, workout for about an hour. Then put on some Bruce Lee flicks to get psyched up. Now pry it open

i didnt want to break it lol do you know if its stuck down or is it clips or something?

No its just tight. Pry it open from the left or right side and don't forget to remove the slider knob. Usually I open it from the left side and lift up. Gotta remove the screws on the bottom too.

Make shure to remove the fader button before removing the cover.

Really? Because on mine, the bottom screws also hold the shell in place. There's like a lip on the bottom of the metal casing with six holes that screw on to the plastic bottom case.

I'm shure. I open mine alot (try to fix the stiff pads) and i only take out the screws on the front and rear. Odd.
