compaq 6730b notebook can't get out keyboard remaining fixed

[joob]

Hello,

after following the detailed instructions for repacing the primary RAM, I got stuck at trying to

remove the Keyboard along the same instructions, saying: loosen 3 screws at the bottom, 

unlock 4 locks at the front. 

Then, the keyboard lets itself be lifted fully at the far left hand side (front of laptop towards me),

gradually less so to the right side and it remains firmly fixed for the last few centimeters,

as if there would be astill nother but nowhere mentioned nor shown 4th screw hidden somewhere.

Please reply if you know how to proceed, or what I might be doing wrong in the first place.

The instructions on that site are as I described doing exactly, but how would the keyboard come out without breaking while being pulled? Is that shown in the video? It will not plat at all.

It's easy, actually, and hereby completely solved: put a tiny screwdriver at the top righ hand side between the keyboard and the sideboard, press the keyboard just 0.01" to the left and UP it comes, while still pulling of course.

You can watch the necessary action in this video on youtube, but must skip all the superfluous additional screw and spy around actions, and start immediately at 4'39" (from  total 14'50" ) to see it being done succesfully.

Note, however, how this necessary extra trick is nowhere to be found in official and regular instruction videos.

Thanks anyway.
