It currently doesn't light up, so I need to find out if it's missing the bulb, if it's burnt out, or maybe it's missing the light mech. If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. I'm not a nugrape person, so I don't know how much it's worth either. I know ones on eBay now for $204 with 5 days left.

Can you get some side views, and top and bottom views? That would help alot, and clearer pictures so you can see if it is a rivet, screw, bolt, etc.

From what I've seen from item descriptions its supposed to slide? Not sure about that though. It acts like it wants to slide but doesn't move but maybe a few centimeters.

Would only have to slide up till notches on top hit.then bottom should come out. Try a pic in better light without the flash,may be able to make it out a little better then.at this point I'm only guessing. Kinda like a furnace cover

I figured it out, the back has thin metal that flexes and opens.

Turns out the cord that went to the light bulb had been disconnected! Quick plug in and:

You should put a small bulb in there or you will burn the advertising.

It has a circle fluorescent bulb in it, not your average bulb. I don't think it produces any heat. I left it on for a few hours and it was still cool.

Use your flash and take a pic while it's lit up....it should look readable on that side angle.
