    Hammer, chisel and a bit of the old elbow grease, chip away until it comes off. :)

    I was looking for a service manual for that laptop but came up with nothing useful. According to a few searches on their website, to install memory modules on some of acer laptops, the keyboard has to come off. See if any of the method below is any use to you.
    Firstly you have to remove the covers of the hinges on the right and left hand side under the LCD Display by pulling them towards the outside.
    You can then flip the keyboard towards you. Be careful, the keyboard is attached to the mainboard with 2 flat cables.
    In the now opened Notebook you see a service-lid, fastened with 2 screws. Please remove screws and service-lid.
    You now have access to the memory-socket. There is only one way to intoduce a new memory-module for it possesses an asymetric nick which corresponds with the plastic-nipple in the socket.
    After fastening the screws and hinges once more and closing the Notebook, you may start it once again.
