Keyboard Removal

[egleiner]

I'm trying to remove the keyboard on a Sony Vaio pcg-61315l. I've removed the back already but the keyboard appears to be one unit no pieces to remove to expose screws or anything like that. I've scoured the internet for videos but no results. Does anyone know how to get this freaking keyboard off? Please help!
