This job is even simpler on a Gateway NX500S. You don’t have to remove the covers from the bottom. There is a single screw hole labeled “K”. Just remove this screw & then proceed with the two hinge screws and so on.

Chris,

Hi, my charging hinge is loose, do you have a guide to fix that?

I don’t know what the charging hinge is.

Worked on the MT6705. Now I have to replace the DC-IN jack.

This looks like good info. I’m hoping to find a tutorial for replacing the keyboard although I suspect I just reverse the steps. You should move the warning about using an anti-static bracelet to the top. I almost missed it because of ads. I’m excited to be able to repair my laptop so it doesn’t end up in a landfill.

Ben,

I broke the Black thing that keeps the keyboard tape in the connector. Anyone know how I can get a new one of those?

This also mostly works for ML6732. There three other screws in the bottom that have to come out, but otherwise, it’s the same.

Dontaye Williams,

My hard drive burnt out a few months ago on my Gateway MT6828 Notebook. I have recently purchased a new Fujitsu Hard Drive but cannot access the BIOS to configure the new drive. When I hit F2 at boot, it asks for a BIOS PASSWORD….never seen this before!

Sorry, cannot help you to clear the BIOS password on this model.
Is it necessary to access the BIOS in order to configure the hard drive? What if you just install the new drive and boot from the recovery disc?
