@ sarah,

step 10 says in reverse connect system board but it broke in half and I can not see how to put the platis thing back. will it work in two halfs

Did you break the keyboard connector locking tab?

Thanks for these awesome guides! Just installed new power plug for Gateway MX6453. Only one screw different on the model. It has one less than yours, but everything is close enough that it works. Laptop running again. Thanks!

Eric,

Can you explain in more detail about you made a modification to connect both traces after you removed the power jack? I have that same problem and I’m not sure how to do that.

Sure, I explained it here:

I’ll add this link to the guide.

@ Luna,

but when he turned it back on it keeps getting a message about something like systems arent found or something.

It’s possible the hard drive was damaged.

Hi I have a problem. I am normally good with computers but this one has me stumped. I am also not familiar with Gateway. My mother and fiance got into a fight and she threw his computer on the ground. Its left hinge was already broken but when he turned it back on it keeps getting a message about something like systems arent found or something. I took it apart, and cleaned it out really well from dust and things, even the fan which was much needed. I put it back together and got the same message. It acts like it wants to turn on, goes through the loading screen like when you let it die before you charge it, then when it gets about 1/3 to half way across the message pops up.
This is a Gateway MX6421.
