This package includes a replacement keyboard for either your Gateway 450ROG or 450RGH 
notebook and these printed instructions.

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

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.

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.

ESD can permanently damage electrostatic 
discharge-sensitive components in your notebook. Prevent 
ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every time you 
replace the keyboard. 

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