dismantling LCD screen base

I recently picked up this widescreen lcd for a good price except that the base is all gunked up where the parts meet. Before I can really call it mine I would like to take the parts apart and reassemble them after cleaning them thoroughly. I am assuming some of the panels snap together as the point of entry since I do not see any of the bolt heads. And before I just start prying on them I thought of posting my inquiry here. Is anyone familiar with how these screen bases are put together?
