Probably going to have to replace the keyboard. On the ones I have worked on, there's three or four screws on the bottom and then the keyboard lifts up. There's been a couple small ribbon cables connecting the kb to the mb that you need to be careful with.
Figure around $50 for the kb, and if you have to pay someone to do it, 1/2 of labor should be plenty.

So the screws on the back are holding the kb down? Hmmm. I love to take things apart, never tried a laptop
If disappear from the forum it's because I broked it.

Was the enter key drooled to death?
On my keyboard, there are ar four tabs at the top that slide, either up/down or across, and those lock the keyboard in place.

Yes, also probably gummed into submission first. Figures she went for a pretty often used key. I don't seem to have any tabs visible here, going to check wikihow, they have some crazy things there.
I have removed the keyboard a few times on mine. Try a google search for the service manual for your specific model.
My daughter had a Dell laptop (years ago) for which they labeled the keyboard screw holes each with a letter "k" on the underside of the case.

eHow had a simple picture walk through on how to do it, screws are on top, just have to pry up a cover on the hinges area. Just need to get the keyboard.
