Default 30 GB Video IPod redux

Ok the display is backlit with 4 LEDs at the bottom. Behind the LCD
there is a light diffuser/spreader whatever you want to call it. It's a
static component just there to spread the light from the light source
evenly behind the LCD. Obviously this was damaged somehow, probably
dropped although the former owner would not admit it and the IPod has no
apparent damage to the case. Behind the light "spreader" there is a
reflective piece of something. It's not totally opaque because I can
shine a strong light through it and see the damage on the LCD side with
the display unplugged. So this is a simple matter of replacing the
display This particular model has five latches on each side, two on the
bottom and one on the top.

Presumably, it came apart without issue ? What did you use in the end, as
your 'entry tool' ?
