SM only covers palmrest/keyboard replacement. Not keyboard removal//install of palmrest. Welded in?

Yes, depending on how you define 'only'. The keyboard and palm rest are pretty much integral, you need to melt plastic tabs to replace 'only' the keyboard. I have replaced my 5770 keyboard. The repair manual is still (11/2024) available here: https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/inspiron-1...
Essentially you disassemble the computer from the bottom. The manual explains the procedure step-by-step. For me, the hard part was popping the base cover, even starting at the corner as directed; it took more force that I expected. The second time I opened the case to upgrade the network card it went quickly.

Can you provide the service tag so I can find you the correct part?
