    I could only find the regular manual for the A4Ga, which is here: http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/A4L/C1701_A4_HW.pdf

    It doesn't look like it has any info for disassembly. What you need to find out is how to take apart the top of the case, which probably involves a few screws and removing a bezel (piece of plastic). It probably isn't too hard if you're careful.

    The keyboard will be connected to the motherboard with a ribbon connector, probably looking something like this:

    Hope this helps, good luck.

    Generic keyboard removal for ASUS.

    Look for "K>" screws on bottom. Unscrew. Turn over, and using a credit card pop the tabs along the top of the keyboard (F1-F12 row) UNDER the keyboard plate. Lift towards your self.

    ...

    PROFIT! (joking, that's a slashot reference :D)

    If you can't find the K> screws or this doesn't work for some reason, post back.
