I've had success repairing worn out / damaged traces with 'Leitsilber' - must be done very thoroughly but one repair from >3 years is still working (used every day).

A sharp knife along the seam where the top and bottom halves of the keyboard casing may be enough to cut away the melted plastic, thus allowing the casing to open.
