This model of laptop is not designed to allow the keyboard to be removed. A very handy (or very lucky) person might be able to get the welded screws out, but they are not designed to be removed. Additionally, DO NOT REMOVE THE FAN! There are a couple of screws at the back of the fans that need to removed to remove the motherboard, but it is not necessary to remove the whole fan in order to remove the motherboard (and if you do, you would then need to re-seat the fan and mess with applying new thermal paste when doing so).
