Setup and Installation

The following steps outline the general procedure for replacing the power button board. Specific disassembly steps for your Gateway One model may vary. Refer to your computer's service manual for detailed chassis disassembly instructions.

Prepare the Work Area: Ensure a clean, well-lit, and static-free environment. Gather necessary tools, which typically include a small Phillips head screwdriver and a plastic prying tool.

Discharge Residual Power: Press and hold the power button on the computer for 15-20 seconds to discharge any residual power.
Access the Internal Components: Carefully open the computer chassis. This usually involves removing screws from the back panel and gently prying open the casing. Consult your specific model's service manual for precise instructions.
Locate the Existing Power Button Board: Identify the current power button board. It is typically connected to the main motherboard via a small ribbon cable.
Disconnect the Old Board: Gently disconnect the ribbon cable and any other connectors attached to the old power button board. Carefully remove the old board from its mounting points.
Install the New Board: Position the new power button board (Part No. 55.GCA07.001 / DA0QK3PB2E0) into the designated slot. Ensure it is seated correctly.
Connect the Ribbon Cable: Reconnect the ribbon cable and any other necessary connectors to the new power button board. Ensure the cable is securely fastened and properly aligned.
