Sorry but you can't get the top off. The PCB in the module is soldered to the can and then the bottom is clipped on. the module is fitted to the PCB of the set with the bottom "lid" down so you have to remove the module to get the lid off.
Then to remove the board from the module you have to unsolder the two tags from the can.
If it works I wouldn't worry.
Intermittent operation cured by tapping the main panel isn't always the transistors in the module on more than one occasion I have found dry joints on the wavechange panel.
