Problems removing keyboard and accessing hard drive, Dell Inspiron N7110

I get a hard drive error when running diagnostics and need to replace my hard drive.  I've watched videos on how to open my n7110, however my keyboard is not working with me one bit.  After feeling like I had popped the 4 tabs on the top and sliding a credit card around the edges I started trying to peel it back.  However I'm only removing the top layer of plastic and not the keys.  I'm unable to get under the keyboard itself.  At this point I'm doing more damage than good, as I've already gotten under a couple of F keys without getting under the board itself.

I've also tried removing the palm rest panel with the keyboard attached, but after removing all of the screws, it's still attached to something near the bottom of the keyboard.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Brian

Disregard.  Sometimes a knife works better than a screwdriver.
