Replace your Gateway 7426GX keyboard,just simple steps

When attempting to replace a laptop keyboard on a Gateway laptop, you might discover the frustration of having to repair a laptop firsthand; fortunately, these repairs are generally much easier to actually perform than they may seem at first. Replacing a Gateway 7426GX keyboard should only take a few minutes, meaning that your laptop can be fully functional again in no time flat.

Power down your Gateway laptop and remove the battery. This will not only ensure that you don’t accidentally damage your laptop by powering it up while working on its components, but may also be necessary to reach the mounting screws for your Gateway laptop  keyboard. Press the power button once after the battery has been removed to discharge any remaining electricity that the laptop may have stored.

Consult the support documents for your Gateway laptop model and find out where the Gateway 7426GX keyboard mounting screws are located. There will most likely be between two and five screws, depending on the specific model of laptop that you own. You may be required to remove the laptop keyboard bezel (the strip of plastic that runs along the top of the Gateway Laptop Keyboard) in order to reach some or all of the screws; this can be done either by sliding the bezel off to the right of the laptop or by simply lifting it off once loosened (though you may need to use a coin or flat-head screwdriver to detach clips or pry the bezel out of its resting location.)

Remove the screws holding the Gateway 7426GX keyboard in place. The screws will either be located on the bottom of the laptop (under the space that the battery occupies) or beneath the keyboard bezel. Put the screws in a safe place where they will not be lost, since you will need to use them to secure the new Gateway laptop keyboard.

Lift the keyboard up from the bottom, detaching the Gateway 7426GX keyboard connector and pulling the keyboard itself free from the Gateway laptop, then setting it aside. You may need to once again use a coin or flat-head screwdriver in order to depress clips which might be holding the laptop keyboard in place.)

Plug your new Gateway 7426GX keyboard into the keyboard connector, then carefully place it back into the space previously occupied by your old Gateway laptop keyboard. If the keyboard is designed to be held in place by clips, press down with sufficient pressure to clip the Gateway 7426GX keyboard into place.
