It feels like a spring is no longer in position. I am trying to remove the cowl and front control panel, but I am not sure how. I was able to remove one screw in the center, but two screws at each side are still holding the cowl in place, and I do not want to bend/force these plastic parts. How can I remove the front control panel on this model and repair the on/off button? Thanks!

There is no spring; the button operates by bending the plastic from which it is molded. I repaired the button with superglue.
