Here's how I'd do it:
FIRST - Unplug the ac adaptor and remove the battery.
Second: Using small screwdriver, unscrew small screws on back of laptop hinges. Tilt screen all the way back after this step.

Third: Using a small knife or guitar pick, pop the coverplate containing the power button off. Be careful, there are tabs and its held in a certain way.

Fourth: Remove small screws on keyboard. Pull gently up and towards bottom of laptop, should tile out. Remove ribbon cable.

Fifth: Replace keyboard, reattach ribbon cable. Make sure its snug and firmly in place (may have to adjust clamp).

Sixth: Reassemble. Make sure screws are snug but not too tight, don't want to break plastic. Also be careful putting hinge plate back on- it can be stubborn and tricky..

PM me if you need better instructions or have any questions...
