Replacing the Gateway 450ROG

Keyboard

This package includes a replacement keyboard for your Gateway 450ROG

notebook and these printed instructions.

Tools you need

You need a small Phillips and a small flat-blade screwdriver to replace the

keyboard.

Preventing static electricity discharge

The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive to static

electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Warning ESD can permanently damage electrostatic

discharge-sensitive components in your notebook. Prevent

ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every time you

replace the keyboard.

Warning To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and

moving parts, turn off your notebook and unplug the power

cord and modem and network cables before opening the

case.

Before replacing the keyboard, follow these guidelines:

■Turn off your notebook.

■Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and

attach it to a bare metal part of your workbench or other grounded

connection.

■Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object.

■Unplug the power cord and the modem and network cables.

■Remove the main and optional secondary batteries. For more information,

see “Changing batteries” in your user guide.

■Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove any PC Cards.

Before working with notebook components, follow these guidelines:

■Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing

foam.

■Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready

to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags

because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.

■Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching the edge

connectors. Never slide components over any surface.

Warning To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object

into the vent holes of the notebook.
