    If you are upgrading the ram or HDD, then once you remove the keyboard, you do NOT need to take all the screws out as shown in that video. There are two of them, the tiny one locking the palm rest sliding lock and the larger one right above it. The video shows the person removing about 10 screws in total from the keyboard area, which is unnecessary unless you do a complete teardown.

    Once the palm rest is removed, most of the screws under it do need to be taken out.
