Well, I scraped all around the bezel to remove any accumulation of dirt and
took a little plastic with it but perhaps not enough. I'll try again in a
few days.
Interestingly, I always hold my Newts across the width from below to cradle
them which I find more stable so never apply any pressure to the upper
casing.

Actually if you have gone that far, removing the screen is very easy.
Undo the 3 gold screws across the top of the screen and the 2 tiny
countersunk ones in the battery bay and that's it. The plastic clip that
holds the motherboard in also traps the screen assembly, which comes out as
a rigid unit.
Remember to put the port cover back in before replacing the screen!
Let us know how you get on.
Joel.
