Removing MPC 5000 Faceplate

Hey guys,

I was wondering if someone could give me the right steps to removing an MPC 5000 faceplate. I have removed the side panels and the small front face panel, but the top/front panel wont budge.

What should I do? I dont eant to force it or break anything...but everything is unscrewed!

Thanks!

probably screws around / behind the swivel screen.

I used the same post to open up my MPC5k when i exchanged my pads and HD....works perfectly as long as you remind exactly where all the screws were fit.

Especially the ones on the left/under side of the armrest are sometimes quite difficult to put back.
