In the following guide I will be removing  and replacing the keyboard on a Gateway MT6704 (Model MA7) laptop.
I believe this guide will work for many other Gateway models. Take a look at the sticker on the bottom. If you see Model MA7 under the Gateway logo, most likely you can use this guide.
In the following guide I take apart a Gateway NX570X laptop.
I think my disassembly instructions will work for other Gateway NX570 models too.
In my case the battery started charging intermittently with the AC adapter connected.
In order to charge it I have to adjust the AC adapter plug inside the power socket on the back of the laptop. Apparently, there is a problem with the power socket (DC jack) and it has to be replaced or resoldered.
I’ll be removing the system board so I can access and repair the jack.
In the following guide I explain how to remove the inverter board and LCD cable from a Gateway Solo 1400/1450 laptop. This guide should work for many other Gateway models.
First of all, remove the battery.
The display bezel has six rubber plugs covering screws. Remove all rubber plugs with a sharp object.
