Yes, you remove the metal strip and is under the display. It had the 
IC-761 on it. The strip is held in place with double stick tape. Once 
the strip is removed then you will find 2 screws holding the display 
glass in place. As for the actual display use canned air to blow the 
dust off it. It fingerprints very easily and seems to scratch easy 
too. The glass, use canned air to remove duct then something like 
warm soap and water to clean it.

The metal strip is easier to remove with heat like from a hair dryer. 
Its aluminum and bends very easily. We use something sharp like the 
point of an Xacto knife to life the end up and gently remove it. It 
was nearly impossible to remove it without bending it.
