need help replacing keyboard in vaio XG series laptop

[PSUlion01]

I ordered a replacement keyboard for my sister's vaio XG700k laptop... problem is that I can't figure out how to get the thing open and get the old keyboard out. I took out almost all the screws and the case is stick together on each side right around the jog dial/ ~ key.

can someone please help???

Thanks!!

Mayb you should contact the company/person that sold you the keyboard to ask how to open up your laptop.

Sony's are PITA to take apart. My girlfriend's didn't come apart until i removed one tiny screw that then allowed the whole top of the lappy to slide open. Good luck!

Sony's solution is to sell me the service manual for $30 or so. I figured that someone here would be able to shed some light... I'll keep poking around to see what I can do...
