Dell 2407 Opening back panel for service - tell me how !!

I need to know how to open up a Dell 2407 LCD monitor. I have located 4 screws under the stand attaching section but thats as far as I got. If anyone knows, I would love to know.
 
Bascially I bought a Dell 2407 LCD secondhand from a guy very cheap, its been ok but now just gives me a blank screen. I have no reciept and no warranty so I am attemping to fix it myself. I hope it will just be an internal fuse.
 
The screen powers up, the power light comes on and the screen backlights are visible but no image is displayed. Also, the On Screen Display is not visible. Could this be an internal fuse?

    Only a certified technician should open the back of a monitor.  Dell will not give this to you. Its dangerous and can cause injury to you in doing so.

    <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

      In part it reads.......

    " To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor case ".

    "  Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only be removed by qualified service personnel ".
