Replacing the Gateway 450ROG and

450RGH Keyboard

This package includes a replacement keyboard for either your Gateway 450ROG or 450RGH

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).

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.

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.

Caution 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 prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object

into the vent holes of your notebook.

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.
