To prevent breaking the casing again(I ripped the hinges out of the casing while opening the pbp), I modified the hinges!
The hinges are constructed from two pieces of stainless steel. The inner part of the hinge is fixed in the display chassis and
the outer part is wound around the pin of the inner part and screws to the casing. There is nothing in between the two
parts and they can be pulled apart. I did this using pliers and it took pretty much force. I succeeded in seperating the hinges
in turning the hinge from left to right while pulling. I wasn't sure if I would rip the hinge out of the display chassis, but
everything went fine. When i had separated the outer part of the hinge, I used a sharp and sturdy blade to bend it open.
It took a few tries of bending, but now it slides over the pin easily, but is still firm. So I expect my display to open very
easily once I get the replacement casing.
