Replacing the Gateway 600 Keyboard

This package includes a replacement keyboard for your Gateway 600 notebook
computer and these printed instructions.

Tools you need

You will need a small Phillips and a small flat blade screwdriver to replace
the keyboard.

Preventing static electricity discharge

The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static
electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before replacing the keyboard, follow these guidelines:

Turn off the computer power.

Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and
attach it to a bare metal part of the computer.

Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the computer.

Unplug the power cord and modem and network cables.

Remove the battery.

Caution

ESD can permanently damage electrostatic
discharge-sensitive components in the computer. Prevent
ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every time you
open the computer case.

Warning

To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and
moving parts, turn off your computer and unplug the power
cord and modem and network cables before opening the
case.

Warning

To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object
into the vent holes of the notebook.
