I looked for a picture of one ... it looked like my GRX5P (Australia)
but with a smaller screen - and hence a smaller body.  

On mine, below the memory stick slot and behind the magnetised flap
hiding whatever ports you have there, is a tiny screw which holds the
speaker grill on.  Once that is removed it comes off from left-to-right
and should uncover the keyboard screws.

With your laptop being smaller they may have done away with obvious side
facing screws and sucked the entire body into holding the keyboard on -
in which case follow John's destructions :)

YMMV,

Ryan
