20 Most Recent Gateway MT3705 Notebook - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Gateway does not currently have an update Bios available for your system. What that means is that they have not received/tested/released an update.

This system uses a Phoenix Technologies Bios. It is possible that they have released a Bios revision that Gateway has not released. If you go to Phoenix.com and click on Bios updates near the bottom, it links to BiosAgentPlus, a free application that will scan your system and provide you with information on obtain an updated Bios if it's available.

You want to be very cautious using this though. Your Gateway system is a n OEM product, meaning that when Gateway put this system together they have permission to make changes to the system as needed including the motherboard. It is possible that an update that this or any software that is not provided by gateway finds may not work and could cause problems. An incompatible Bios update could render your computer inoperable.

It appears this BiosAgentPlus application will also scan for updated drivers. More times than not using non-gateway provided drivers do not work. This is esspeically true with laptops. Don't download everything it suggests unless you are having a specific problem with that item. If it's not broken - don't try to fix it, especially with a non-OEM driver.

Are you certain that you need an update at this time? If you do not have a specific need that the update was written to solve, then it's best to leave it alone.

Have you removed all the accessories such as the hard drive, cd rom, network card? There are screws under those items.

A couple of quick questions for you. How old is the laptop? Was the laptop dropped recently?

If the laptop is a couple of years old it could be that your battery needs to be replaced or it could be on a recall list which you would find on Gateway's website

Hope this helps

whoever set up the wireless router should have the key.

Up on your F KEYS is a SYMBOL that looks like a small TV Monitor... HOLD DOWN THE FN (function) key and tap the F key with the monitor.

1. On one click the screen on the computer will go black and you will see the screen now on the TV,

2. On a second click the computer monitor will come back on, and you will also have the TV screen.

4. On a third click you will kill the TV display and end up where you started, with the display on the Computer Monitor only..

Kindly,

Jim

Well the quick and dirty answer to this would simply be to order a replacement set directly from Gateway

If you check in with different computer repair centers in your local area, you can also check in with them, see if the technicians there keep a library of restore disks. I work at a tech shop myself, and we usually carry an extensive library of different restore disks for various notebooks and desktops.

Only do this if you feel competent in doing so.

Pulling apart laptops is not for the faint of heart.

If you really must do it there are some good guides here.

An alternative is to get a can of compressed air used to clean computers. Put the nozzle on and spray it in every hole you can see without putting the nozzle itself inside the laptop.

Do this outside with glasses on.


You may also want to remove the hard drive and ROM drive.

Take a peek here for more ideas of what is involved.

There are a few are tips for various things in there.

DON'T touch the CPU cooler unless you know what you are doing and have some thermal grease for CPUs to hand.

To make newer laptops last longer between cleaning a good 3 fan cooling pad is suggested.
never use a laptop on soft surfaces as the ventilation can act as a mini vacuum cleaner and encourage dirt build up.
Soft surfaces also block the vents causing fans to run more and burn out sooner.

Hope this gives you the information you need

It would be very decent of you to consider the quality of our experts answers and judge them accordingly as you pass through fixYa.
Thank you

You have to reset cmos. There is a jumper on the board. If you don't know what you are doing, I would take to a professsional.

U should uninstall the application and the system will be fine

You will need to activate it in the bios settings, Enter the bios with your F key, have a look through the peripherals or similar and ensure that touchpad is "active"

1. USIN CAPZ MAK U LUK IGNORANT
2. Contact gateway. Let them know you have seen multiple reports of this online
   and you believe this should be repaired under manufactures warranty.
3. Stop threatening to sue any/everyone because you don't like them.
   This never bodes well and creates a negative vibe for the person who will try to help you!
