How do i change the keyboard on my Medion MID2030?

Hi Guys.
Several keys are defective on my Medion MID2030. I've picked up a new keyboard from Ebay, but I can't see immediately how the old one comes out.
I'm not completely inexperienced in laptop repairs as I've hard-wired the screen on my old Compaq when the flexi-track broke, but I thought i'd ask in case anyone's done one of these before.

Any opinions?

Thanks!

Graham.

Well, done it now anyway. Dead easy, for anyone who's interested:

Lift the keyboard up from the top edge. There are metal clips above'Ins' 'F12' 'F8' 'F5' and 'ESC'
Once the top edge is free (You may need to lift it a little higher to free off the double-sided sticky tape that fixes it to the plate below) then all you need do is slide it back (towards the monitor screen) and it'll lift out.
Unplug the flexi-track connector and you're done.
