Cleaning the buttons beneath the touchpad

Hi..^^
Ive had my Hel80 for about a year now and im still very happy about it!
As time has gone by ive had to vacum it a bit sometimes to get the dust out.
But now the buttons beneath are realy sticky bacause there is so much dirt and stuff underneath.

So i would like to remove the keyboard and touchpad buttons so i can get it properly cleaned underneath, how to do?

Yesterday i tried getting out the laptops harddisk and ended up screwing up all the screwes underneath the computer and tried to take it from eachoter, but didnt manage, didnt se where it should like...split og where to pull.
(I know i dont need to do that to get the harddrive out, but i didnt know how to get it out and wanted to open up the computer to get a better look)

Anyways, hope somebody could help me
And thanks ALOT!^_^

 

The keyboard is pretty simple. If you look at the plastic panel above your keyboard (the one with the power button etc) you'll see that it is all one piece. That Piece is not held down by any screws or anything, all you have to do is pry it off. I used a flat head screw driver, but it leaves small scratch marks, so maybe try using a blockbuster card or a VISA (its a little stronger plastic).

After that, use a small screw driver to remove the two screws that hold the keyboard in place, and take off the ribbon attached to it. What I do is get a can of compressed air (they have some at Wal-mart if you look around in the electronics department) and spray the sides of the keyboard all around and blast the gunk out. I don't unhook the ribbon to do it, as it is a little annoying to unhook and reattach. Just make sure that the gunk doesn't fall into your laptop .

If you want the keyboard to have less 'bounce' in it, get some double sided tape from your hardware store, and put it underneath your keyboard. Don't block any holes with the tape.

As far as the touchpad buttons go however, I don't know, so hopefully someone else can post that. I believe it is a much harder procedure though.
