I should remove my keyboard to upgrade to 2GB, but I can't. I've removed the four screws on the bottom marked keyboard, but after that the keyboard still remain locked on the right.
What can I do?

funny I just took mine apart for giggles last night. What I needed to do was once the screws were out, gently lift/tilt the keyboard from the back (part closest to the screen) with a flat head screw driver. You might have some slight resistance at first. The resistance is from the upper right corner of the keyboard being secured with a bit of double sided tape. The tabs are in the front of the keyboard which is why you need to tilt it up from the back. Anyway you tilt the keyboard up from the back and it will come loose with a small amount of pressure at first. If the keyboard starts to flex more then a small/tiny amount then you might not have the right screws removed so double check that (I KNOW...but check again anyway...hehehehe.) Just remember there is a ribbon cable connecting the keyboard to the laptop so ya wanna be cautious about pulling it up.
Here is a link to all the service manuals for the NX9420/NW9440 systems.
