With the ribbons detached, you can now remove the front panel of the keyboard. The silver keyboard housing and the black piece are connected and make up the front panel.

Locate one back corner of the netbook near where the screen meets the body of the netbook.

Wedge the plastic opening tool between the two black layers of the netbook. There is a visible line that divides the bottom and top black pieces.

Run the plastic opening tool along the side of the netbook while lifting upwards, keeping it wedged between the two black pieces. This will loosen the connection.

Once the two pieces are loosened enough, you can place your fingers between the two pieces and lift the top piece off. The two inner black pieces of the hinge connection, between the screen and the netbook body, are attached to the front panel that you are removing.
