    Don't bother trying to remove that. You should be able to sell it as Aluminum breakage

    I ran a knife blade between the glass 'n steel down all four sides and cut the adhesive holding it together. the backplate is steel, though does have a few aluminum inserts. I usually have pretty good luck finding answers with the search feature, I found the question asked, but didnt find a definitive answer .. Is there gold in the mylar ribbon, or only the connections?
    Is there gold 'in' the glass? or on the glass where these mylars connect??

    Its a Plasma tv..
    Yep you can peel the backing back, mine was Ali sheet.
    I used a screwdriver, something wider would be better.
    Then stuff peices of cardboard in the gap to keep it open.
    Then keep peeling it back all around till it pops off.
    Use a scraper to scrape the glue/foam off.
    Then.pop the inserts out.
