Replacing Gateway Notebook
Components
Use this service guide to help plan maintenance tasks for
the Gateway 7000 series, M520, MX7000, and NX700
notebook. All tasks covered in this guide can be
performed by an authorized field technician without
jeopardizing the notebook’s warranty.
Important This service guide is not intended to be
provided to individual users or consumers.
It cannot be provided to anyone other than
an authorized service provider.
Important For information on the notebook’s general
maintenance, technical support, safety
notices, and regulatory notices, see the
Gateway user guide.

Replacing Gateway Notebook Components
Identifying the notebook model
The label on the bottom of the notebook contains information that identifies the notebook
model and its features.
Caution It is important that you use the correct service guide for the notebook.
Failure to follow the approved tasks for the notebook model may result
in damage to the notebook.

Replacing Gateway Notebook Components
Preparing your work space
Before performing maintenance on the notebook, make sure that your work space and
the notebook are correctly prepared.
Wear a grounding (ESD) wrist strap, and use a grounded or dissipative work mat.
Use a stable and strong table, and make sure that the table top is large enough to
hold each component as you remove it.
Use bright lighting to make part identification easier.
Keep your work surface free from clutter and dust that may damage components.
Use a magnetized screwdriver for removing screws.
When removing components that are attached to the notebook by a cable, unplug
the cable before removing the screws, when possible, to avoid damaging the cable.
As you remove components and screws, lay them toward the rear of your work
surface (behind the notebook) or far enough to the side that your arms do not
accidentally brush them onto the floor.
To help keep track of screws, try the following:
Place each component’s screws in their own section of a parts sorter.
Place each component’s screws next to the component on your work surface.
Print the first page of each task, then place the page toward the rear of your
work surface. As you remove screws, place the screws in their respective boxes
on the page. Where screw measurements are shown, the first number indicates
screw head width, and the second number indicates screw length.
After loosening screws that are deeply recessed in a hole (for example, on the
bottom of the base assembly), you can leave the screws in the holes if you place
small pieces of masking tape over the hole openings. When reassembling the
component, just remove the tape and tighten the screws.
When you place flat-headed screws on your work surface, stand them on their
heads to prevent the screws from rolling off the table.

Preventing static electricity discharge
Preventing static electricity discharge
The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive to static electricity, also
known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Before performing maintenance on the notebook, 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.
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.
Important Before performing maintenance on the notebook, you should read
and understand the information in this section.
Warning To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and moving parts,
turn off your notebook and unplug the power cord, modem cable, and
network cable before opening the case.
Warning To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object into the vent
holes of the notebook.
Caution Some of the procedures in this guide involve removing tape that holds
wires or components. Two types of tape are used in this Gateway
notebook:
Mylar, non-conductive tape is typically transparent, with a red or
brown tint.
Conductive tape is typically grey or silver.
If the existing tape cannot be reused, replace it with the same type
(conductivity) of tape. Both types of replacement tape should be
non-ESD generating tape.
Do not use cellophane tape.

6 Hold the replacement module at a 30-degree angle and press it into the empty memory
slot. This module is keyed so it can only be inserted in one direction. If the module
does not fit, make sure that the notch in the module lines up with the tab in the
memory bay.
7 Gently push the module down until it clicks in place.
8 Replace the memory bay cover, then replace the cover screw.
Important Use only memory modules designed for the Gateway 7000 series,
