Most like you need to take a thin flat head screwdriver, and gently lift up the plastic, there is a few plastic holders, but be careful not to break them. I would also double check for small screw you may of missed.
I've taken apart a few laptops and they are all very different and all very difficult to take apart. You would most likely need to completely disassemble almost every single component to remove the motherboard.
Why do you need to remove the board? I want to warn you away from even trying unless absolutely necessary because if you need help getting started with this project, the chances of you removing the MB and ever having the laptop operate again are slim.
