Most times to remove the keyboard there is a plastic strip above or below the keyboard that needs to be removed to expose the screws to remove the keyboard it's would make it easy if we could get a part breakdown of it but I can't find one. Also there maybe a screw you need to remove under the laptop when you get it un done be carfull there is a plastic ribbon cable under it that will need to be uncliped from the mainboard.

Just afraid of breaking something. Would it help to post a link to a picture of the keyboard and it's vicinity, and one of the screw positions on the bottom? I'm sure it's common sense if you have done this thing before, but I only half-know what I'm looking for. Thanks for the reply.

Yes it would be great if you could post some pictures of it. That will help alot

Actually, thanks to some fiddling and that guide you found, I was able to get it open. Couldn't get the drive out, it was buried too deep, but apparently taking the cover off was enough. The drive works now.
Thanks bunches!
