   it most likely has a sealant between the front and plastic case to   
   prevent vibration at the seem, which is common with that type of   
   construction.. These things will stick like mild glue..   
      
      With the screws half way, wrap the unit in a soft wrap of some kind   
   like foam rubber so you don't scratch it, rest it on a pillow and use   
   something like a piece of wood to hit lightly against the screws that   
   are half way out.. The shock should push on the plastic behind and break   
   the bond!.
