4. Insert a scribe into the indent to lift the keyboard cover on the right side. Ease the keyboard cover up, moving from right to left, and remove it. To some laptops, the keyboard cover doesn’t need to be removed.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the keyboard cover, do not lift the cover on both sides simultaneously.
NOTICE: Before removing the cover, be aware that it may have a data cable on the back that is connected to the laptop. So be very cautious remove the keyboard cover.

5. Remove the screws (if exist) that hold the Acer Aspire E1-432 E1-432G keyboard in place and push back some plastic tabs.

From my above post:

"4. Insert a scribe into the indent to lift the keyboard cover on the right side. Ease the keyboard cover up, moving from right to left, and remove it."

This is the entire top covering the keyboard.

The instructions I gave you above ARE for "taking the entire top cover off". Then you turn the top cover over and remove the screws holding the keyboard to the top cover.
