Is there a way to remove the board from the upper housing? All I see are plastic pegs every centimeter melted over holding the board in place.
This is not directly related to your request but I hope it gives you some insight:

You can notice I didn't do a good job when resoldering the plastic rivets. I hope you're more skillful than I am :-)

Removing the keyboard will not help, it will only compound your problem. The *only* reason you would need to do that would be to replace the LCD.
You most likely need to replace the keyboard scanner chip, 1LF5 or 1LM2, it depends upon which version hardware you have. You'll find the same part in a similar vintage 12C.
If your 15C is one of the last versions produced, it will have only one IC, in which case you're out of luck as it can only be found in another identical 15C.
