Don't remove all those screws in the guide. Underneath the keyboard, just remove the 4 screws labeled "Door", then push with much force a blunt tool through the labeled hole at the corner of the hard drive bay. That part was easy, but can somebody please post a guide to popping off the keyboard without deforming the aluminum keyboard tray like I did?
