The Gateway M675 ships with two different versions of the system
board. Your replacement system board must be of the same version
as the system board you are replacing.
To identify the system board version, look for the revision code under
the mini-PCI card. One version of the system board will have the
code: DA0PA1MBxxx Rev:x. The other version of the system board
will have the code: DAPA1AMBxxx Rev:x.
Be careful not to use too much force when opening the LCD panel.
