Hello Friend , I think you don't have vga driver in your computer . I recommend you to update drivers. If you have drivers . Then search on google to increase brightness in linux.Thanks...

could be a connection problem with power in wiring. bent or damaged wires or connections of those inside monitor. or it could be getting hot? number of things. monitors are farely cheap now days. might be time to update?

Your either going to need VGA or DVI. You need to check the back of your computer and monitor to see which type of connection you have. Then plug in the appropriate cable.

Hi, I found this for you on eBay...always check your seller's 'feedback rating'...this one was good, but if it's more than $20, I like to try for 100%...even if that's virtually impossible. Hope this helps! mike

mcdevito75 here, You"ll have to carefully check all your monitor connections, at the monitor and computer. After checked you can try the auto button on your monitor, if this doesn"t hepl, most likely you"ll need to replace your monitor. Check with a Radio Shack, Staples Etc. for their advise also.

What you need is the cable with NEMA5-15P to IEC-60320-C5. Computer store that fix computer should have this cord since it is used alot in Gateway and HP AC adapter for laptop. See www.quail.com P/N 1090.072

Same problem with the Gateway FPD 1810 monitor here! Same solution after going through the MADNESS of the drivers...a light tap on the very top and centre of it, and the problem went away! When I was a kid, our family television (remember when your home had ONE television?) would do this, and when it did, my dear old Dad would STOMP ON THE FLOOR, and the picture would then suddenly stop flickering! He was a big believer in this! I hope that he is looking down from heaven and getting a laugh from this. He was a Chiropractor, and he referred to this manouvre as treating the TV for a "subluxation", which is what Chiropractors mean whenh they "adjust" your neck! Solution for the 20th century model DuMont Television? Whack it! Solution for the 21st Century LCD Gateway monitor? Whack it! Everything old is new again. Perhaps I should procure a can of TV tuner spray, you never know what is going to break next! Rest in Peace, Dad. Gunsmoke is still on the air HERE, but I'll bet YOU are watching Jackie Gleason up THERE ! ;-)

I was in radio shack today... they don't sell them.

I assume this model comes with an external power supply- that is a package that plugs into the out let. you can buy at places like Wallmart a universal power supply, that has a variety of connectors and a switch to change the voltage. the connectors have a colour code and match the voltage slider which also has a colour patch. Take a look at the monitor to see if the operating voltage is mentioned- but is does not matter. what you do is take a connector- not plugged to the cord and fit it to the power inlet- you get several connector and only one will fit -the right one. Match the the colour to the voltage slide on the power pack and you are in business- well maybe - I bet first time it will not work That's OK simply unplug the connector from the cord and reverse the pins [reverse the polarity] come back

Yes these Monitors encounter problems:
1. Bad Inverter
2. Burned out Backlight
3. Power supply issues
Sounds like your inverter board is bad and backlight will probably follow!

Plugging into the laptop as an alternative monitor needs you to set the Laptop to divert the signal to the external monitor.
As you did not mention the laptop I cannot go further  except to suggest you read the manual with regard this situation.
On some models of laptop this function is actuated  by pressing a certain key- which may have for example a BLUE symbol on  in the front edge whilst pressing another key in the region of the space bar with a blue symbol on it.
Then manual will tell all

First, narrow down the problem to either the monitor, or to the computer itself. Either try the monitor on a spare or friend's computer, or try a known working monitor on your computer. I'd guess your computer is where the issue is at- it isn't booting the Operating System (MS XP or whatever O/S is present on the hard disk. if the computer is the issue, try booting from the CD which came with the computer, (assuming you have that CD). Or, you could see if some computer tech savvy person has a bootable floppy diskette. Basically a "no-boot" problem, can point to a number of problems: hardware issue (bad hard drive etc.), or an operating system problem.

Well now if you go asking shop folk for this -they wont use their imagination, just in case they get it wrong and you sue. Just be sure that the voltage you need is - what it is - 12V did you say Then go the the electrical isles small items and you will see usually in a bubble pack on the rack a power supply- with a strip of various connectors. The power supply will have a slider switch to select vorltages from 1.5-3-4.5-6-7.5-9-12 volts. These will also have a coloured patch. The connectors are also coloured on the tip. Pick the connector colour that matched the voltage colour- plug in into the cord and lug it into the monitor . And it does not work Huh! Then unplug the connector from the cord and turn it around plug it in- then it it will work.

Try the Gateway Tech support team or look on their site for accessories - they may well sell the power supply you need.

you can use kingroot to root your phone. and some root apps might harm yor os i suggest you not to root your phone

This monitor may not have built-in speakers. It may have supported Gateway's monitor mounted sound bar. That sound bar connected to the 3.5 mm audio out on a computer and a DIN port on the monitor. The simplest solution is to connect your source to appropriate speakers. Depending on your audio setup, you could connect the video source to a receiver with HDMI IN and HDMI Out (ARC), computer speakers or an audio extractor. (If you are using an HDMI cable between the Gateway LP2417 and a computer, you may need to reset the audio output to use basic computer speakers (3.5mm jack).) VGA and DVI connections don't support audio so I assume you are using the HDMI port. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Re connecting the wires may work without issues.

No you don't need a driver. These are very plain powered speakers that come with a mains adapter and a lead with a 3.5mm stereo jack at both ends. Plug one in the speaker and the other into the headphone jack on the front or the speaker socket on the back which will either be a socket on the motherboard, or if your son put a sound card in the computer, it will be in a sound card. If it doesn't play straight away, go into Settings - Audio and make sure the sound card or the On-Board Audio is enabled.
