Replacing the Gateway M305

Optical Drive

This package includes an optical drive, such as a CD or DVD drive, for your

Gateway M305 notebook and these printed instructions.

Installing a replacement drive is a process consisting of three procedures that

must be done in sequence:

1Remove the keyboard.

2Replace the drive.

3Reinstall the keyboard.

Tools you need

You need a small Phillips and small flat-blade screwdriver to install the drive.

Preventing static electricity discharge

The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive to static

electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before replacing the optical drive, 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.

Warning ESD can permanently damage electrostatic

discharge-sensitive components in your notebook.

Prevent ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every

time you replace the optical drive.

Warning 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 replacing the

optical drive.

■Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object.

■Unplug the power cord and the modem and network cables.

■Remove the battery. For more information, see “Changing batteries” in

your user guide.

■Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove any PC Cards.

Before working with notebook components, 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.
