Clean Behind The Screen On Sanyo Dp42840

It looks like an ant got stuck behind the screen on this tv. Is there any way to remove the screen and clean it. Thanks in advance.

this LCD screen is actually made up of 5 separate parts. The outermost is the glass LCD display, behind it is 4 separate pieces of opaque plastic sheets all sandwiched together. Then behind this assembly is the florescent lamps that back light the screens so you can see the  entertainment you have selected (or the crap on TV). It's possible that an ant did find it's ay in there, but I doubt it. Probably a piece of plastic or dust got trapped during assembly or maybe something is on the back of these screens, and tapping on the side of the TV might convince it to fall off. To take it apart is a very time consuming and you can easily break the panel. I highly don't recommend it.
