Retrieve item inside Polk S10 speaker
efung

While trying to mount the Polk S10 satellite speaker to a Perlesmith Floor Speaker stand, I accidentally dropped the keyhole hanging screw inside the speaker.
It's not rattling around inside, and must be stuck to a magnet.
I removed the back grill (where the keyhole mount is) with a hex key, and took out the piece where the binding posts are. But I can't see the loose screw, and there isn't enough room to fish around in there.
On the front, I removed the four hex screws, but I can't figure out how to remove the shiny black faceplate. It might be glued on? Anyone ever tried opening up the S10 before?
I found a YouTube video where someone took apart a Polk S15. But they just pry off the faceplate and loosen the glued points.

Update: I got my 6-yr old daughter to reach in from the partial opening where the binding posts are, and she was able to feel around the magnet and retrieve the screw. My hero.
