GXR VF-2 Teardown?

Hi all

I recently acquired a GXR with the VF-2 EVF, and unfortunately there's a nice piece of dirt (or similar) in the middle of the glass on the inside. Has anyone opened one of these up before for cleaning or has any neat ideas on how I can get the dirt off the glass for a nice clear view?

Thanks

Be careful! While I realize your issue doesn’t involve the ribbon cable, I read that the ribbon cables were not repairable by Ricoh - even back in 2016. I hope someone knows how to access the area you need without disturbing the cable.
