Thank you.

A slight detachment of the faceplate on either side of the LCD is normal -- most of the 42S calculators still extant have suffered some detachment of the adhesive near the screen since they were manufactured ~25 years ago. There is no realistic way to get to the internals of the 42S through the faceplate, so this probably does not indicate tinkering.

I recommend cleaning carefully with a microfiber cloth and a gentle cleansing solution of the type you might use for a computer screen. Don't clean with a dry cloth, or with a moistened paper towel -- if you do, you will leave fine scratches.
