advent 5711 keyboard removal?

I have an Advent 5711 and I need to remove the keyboard to add extra RAM. The catches on the keyboard are easy to undo but something is still holding it in place in the centre. There are two screws on the back in the centre but I have undone those without success. What is holding it in place? Can someone please answer this!

This looks similar to the older models. If so, the RAM should be able to be installed without moving the keyboard. There should be a panel at the bottom on either side of where the two screws have been taken out. It has 3 screws. Underneath should be a RAM slot, though it is one. If you are lucky to have another RAM slot which you imply you have, then you need to remove another screw under this panel. I have seen smaller versions of these that have a screw underneath the RAM so you may need to take it out to see the screw.

This information may be totally irrelevant to your laptop as I have not had a chance to see3 it but I do know that they are similar. However, I am sure that if there is something holding it down, there must be a screw underneath a panel.

Hope the information is of some use
