Turn off the power and remove the battery before working on your Eee PC
Start by removing the keyboard
There are four latches on the top of the keyboard, use a paper clip or other object to disengage the latches
You may have to pull the keyboard up enough with the object - there is no spring mechanism to pop the keyboard out. One trick is after lifting it enough, to slide it (not too much) upward to remove the bottom side.
The keyboard assembly has also two plastic retention points on the sides, and some thermal tape sticking the keyboard down.
Caution: the keyboard has a ribbon connector underneath it which must be carefully unplugged before fully removing the keyboard.

7 screws hold the front plate to the motherboard, as well as the ones on the rear of the PC.
Before taking off the case, you need to disconnect the touchpad and hotkeys cables.
