Help needed asap opening the top of my VFX....I don't want to break it !

Got the instructions from the web....you guys are too slow.....here is the cover opening instructions I found for future reference:
;
"Disconnect power and all cables from rear panel, remove four (3/32) Allen head screws on the top. Open the cover. You may encounter some resistance when lifting. You'll have to be a little firm as there are two tabs on the rear left and right sides that you'll need to get around. Pull the two front corners of the cover towards you and give it a quick jerk upwards and it will release. Open all the way. Unplug the three connectors from the power supply. Depending on the model and release version, you may have a metal shield covering the main board. If so, remove the six Phillips head screws holding the shield down. You will see the battery on the left side of the board. With a good soldering iron it is possible to remove the battery by unsoldering it from the top. Use some solder wick or a solder sucker to remove the solder from the holes before inserting the new battery."

I'm trying to open the top to change the battery....found 4 screws on
top but it still seems to be held down by something....what am I
missing that I have to do to swing open the top panel?

Thanks

VFX-SD Broken Power Supply Board

While you are looking at the power supply board, could you tell me what the
colors of R2 and R4 are?  I'd certainly appreciate it.
