In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

Gateway laptop - Gateway KAV60 – Disassembling procedure – How to replace the cooling fan


Gateway KAV60
Cooling fan replacement procedure 
Unlock the tab located in the top left corner of the netbook. The red tab indicated that the battery has been properly unlocked. Remove the battery. When working with electronics, it is always wise to remove the power source before taking the device apart.
Make sure the RAM, hard drive, and WiFi card have been removed from the computer before trying to take off the cover so they are not damaged in the process.
Remove six (6) 5mm screws, two (2) 17.5mm screws, and three (3) 2.5mm screws from the back, using the Phillips #0 screwdriver, as marked here.
Pry off the keyboard by placing your plastic opening tool in the exact location shown in the photograph. You may need to use something sturdier than the plastic opening tool, like the screwdriver.
Remove the five (5) 5mm screws shown here using the Phillips #0 screwdriver.
Separate the upper cover from the back cover. It is possible to do this without a tool, but you may also use a plastic opening tool for added leverage. Be careful to keep even pressure all the way around the cover so that it is not bent beyond repair.
The WiFi card is shown here. Remove the one (1) 5mm screw holding the card to the motherboard using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
Disconnect the wires on the WiFi card. This can be done easily by applying pressure to the connections until they pop off of the card.
Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the four (4) 5mm screws holding the motherboard in place. Remove the motherboard by lifting it gently from the bottom cover. This image is the rear view of the motherboard.
Begin with the motherboard of the computer, as shown here. Using the #00 Phillips head screwdriver, remove all four (4) screws marked here.
Gently disconnect the fan cable from the motherboard by pulling on the connection until it slips out. The fan should then be fully disconnected from the motherboard and ready for replacement.
