I have searched, but I couldn't find an answer!

I took the entire face plate off tonight, but I couldn't get the last part off, with the screen.
I'm afraid to use force because I don't want to mess up the screen.
I guess my question is: Is the screen attached to the top faceplate? I don't want to damage it, or take any chances.

Whoever has previously taken it apart, please let me know if some force is required and it'll be fine, or if I should be careful because I might mess up the screen.

Thank you!

If it's the external screen, it slides off.

I don't know about the internal screen.

No, I'm not talking about the external screen/faceplate. Thank you, though!

I'm talking about the inside faceplate that houses the screen. I already took the outside faceplates off, removed the screws, and I was trying to take off the FULL faceplate [the entire cover of the phone]. I'm replacing the full faceplate set. It's "recommended" that a professional do it, so that's why I'm asking if I'll ruin the BIG screen [when you open the phone] if I use force.
