2nd test flight and someone dropped my near-new (5 months) RC 2 controller, shattering the screen. My fault for no lanyard or protector. Contacted DJI, they refused to accept a repair right now, they claimed they had no parts to sell and didn't want to risk the current problems with shipments being seriously delayed, so I contacted several repair businesses online and they don't have any screens available either. So ordered a screen from AliExpress, hope it actually shows up.

My question is how to take the controller apart and gain access to make the repair. There are no videos, instructions online that I can find that are applicable on disassembly of the controller. I did find one dated vid that showed a rubber cover hiding two tiny screws, my controller does not have this cover. It does have a black plastic ribbed vented screen cover in the same location (rear bottom). Are there cover screws under there?

There are two Philips screws at the bottom of the lanyard mounts. Is it possible these are the only two screws to remove?

Sort of surprised there isn't some online instructions / vids of doing this fix by now. Both my son and I have hunted around and can't find anything relevant on disassembly or screen replacement. Either the instructions / help don't exist online or we are using the wrong type of search terms?

I can make pics available if needed. My son repairs a lot of electronics in his industry so we assume he'll be able to do this swap. Right now, the RC 2 is just an expensive brick, so I don't see the harm in trying to repair it.
 
When searching YouTube, include the word "teardown" in your request along with your google translators.
