www.gateway.com Replacing the power supply Tools You need a Phillips screwdriver and a Torx® or "star" driver (size T15) to replace the power supply. A slotted (flat) screwdriver can be used in place of the Torx driver, but it must be the 7/64" (3 mm) size, and you must be very careful while applying torque so that the screw head does not get stripped. To replace the power supply: 1 Disconnect the power plug from the power supply, then remove the side panel by following the instructions in "Removing the side panel" on page 51. 2 Disconnect the power supply cables from all components (such as hard drives, optical and diskette drives, and the system board), noting their locations and orientation. (You will reconnect the cables after you install the new power supply.) 3 Remove the three Phillips screws that secure the power supply to the power supply bracket.
