Replacing the Gateway M275
Keyboard
This package includes a replacement keyboard for your Gateway M275
notebook and these printed instructions.
Tools you need
You need a small Phillips screwdriver 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).
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.
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 replacing the
keyboard.
Warning
To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object
into the vent holes of the notebook.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
