Gateway nv53
but you skipped all numbers to the right of 53,
nv53-1234(????)
given the lack of what PC this is fully
we dont know what CPU you have nor GPU video chip
w10 i bet ill not load on this processor
even the best one m660 will not load.
the oldest one supported AMD is A-serices
like a8


are you erasing the hdd and freshloading the OS?

now data;
why not learn the name of one video file first.
then using windows start + search find that file.

or backup you users folder.
c:/user/"youraccountname/
this is your logged in account name,.
where it is in there is anyones guess.
the CAMERA APP you used is unstated,nor VERSION.

    NV53 ACER ASPIRE LAPTOP
    the true name
    and has built in camera,.
    there is no camara app for w10 on this PC by gateway,so...
    the new PC had 2 options day 1.
    the chicony and Suyin
    and 2 totally different apps. for both.
    w7 only
    and if both save fails same place id be surprised, ?
    but why not just do a seach for 1 camera file. snap a jpg, say , you.jpg
    then turn off hidden files, in explorer view settings
    the use start search and it will find that file and tell you where it is.
    and bingo all the rest.

    w10, no!

    THE nv53 IS NOT full model number
    it is series only that number
    here is what some nv53 used
    so the question is does w10 run no these
    w10-64 I bet NOT.
    W10 32 even lowly 32, will not like this.
    AMD Turion™ II Ultra dual-core mobile processor M660 (2.70 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Turion™ II Ultra dual-core mobile processor M640 (2.60 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Turion™ II Ultra dual-core mobile processor M620 (2.50 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Turion™ II Ultra dual-core mobile processor M600 (2.40 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Turion™ II dual-core mobile processor M540 (2.40 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Turion™ II dual-core mobile processor M520 (2.30 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Turion™ II dual-core mobile processor M500 (2.20 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Athlon™ II X2 dual-core processor M340 (2.20 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, DDR2 667 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Athlon™ II X2 dual-core processor M320 (2.10 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, DDR2 667 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Athlon™ II X2 dual-core processor M300 (2.00 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, 2DDR2 667 MHz, 35 W)
    AMD Sempron™ processor M120 (2.10 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache, DDR2 667 MHz, 25 W)
    AMD Sempron™ processor M100 (2.00 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache, DDR2 667 MHz, 25 W)
    which one you have is anyones guess.
    run hwinfo32.exe portable and see CPU name
    and GPU name,
    Graphics Chipset ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

    some use this abovve GPU. again hwinfo32 tells you.

    what I do is
    remove the HDD, and put in any spare HDD
    erased, and load w10-32 (64 will not work)
    and see how well it works
    a used HDD is like what $15?
    this PC worth $20 , too old to be useful
    .
    windows 10 can reject the PC for
    non supported BIOS
    processor (for sure old intel versions)
    GPU card, not supported
    Lan chip or wifi chip has no driver (too old)
    no sound chip driver
    or lack of north or south bridge chip support. for example Nforce chips, relics
    or very first ICH1,2,3 chips by intel, glue

    so nobody knows , all that. (no model stated)
    you didnt post full model numbers
    but I do the spare HDD trick, tell w10
    will activate later, 29 days later, LOL

    W10 wants PCs 2010 or newer
    with at least a intel, core(tm) i3 in it.
    64bit needs, core gen 5 up.
    amd needs below list

  • Larry Ng
    Larry Ng Jan 11, 2019

    amd rules, limits off ms.com, site.
    AMD processors
    so NO is the answer, 7th gen is limit.!!!

    Up through the following AMD 7th Generation Processors
    (A-Series Ax-9xxx & E-Series Ex-9xxx & FX-9xxx), AMD Athlon 2xx, and AMD Ryzen 3/5/7 2xxx
    AT LEST THIS
    https://www.amd.com/en/products/a-series...


    SO NO.

  • Larry Ng
    Larry Ng Jan 11, 2019

    best is to try on spare drive
    or go to ms.com forum
    ask of your unstated PC is support.
    i think not even close

SOURCE: installed ubuntu on my gateway NV53 and now my built in webcam cant be found

Download and install Cheese using the ff. steps:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Type in the following command: sudo apt-get install cheese
  3. Run Cheese. Cheese should automatically detect your webcam and display live video stream.
  4. To record video or take a snapshot, click either on photo or video and select Take a Photo or Start recording.

    • If Cheese doesn't display the output from your webcam, test that the problem is not with Cheese before trying anything else by using one of the programs in the next section.
    • If Cheese displays a garbled picture or one with poor colour/brightness/contrast, go to the Ubuntu wiki Webcam Troubleshootingpage for steps to resolve this.

Hi !! I have a Gateway NV 58 laptop with 320 GB hard drive & 4GB RAM, now i need to install a 1TB or 1.5 TB hard disk to install some software , Pl suggest me will it support larger capacity HD or...

Easiest, quickest and least expensive way is to get a USB external drive. They come in a variety of sizes. Don't get one of those auto backup ones, just a plain old drive without any software on it.

Nv53 reboot issues

over a year with the same windows installed?, first of all and most cheap solution probably, make a backup of all your info (Pics, videos, docs), be sure of having your laptop drivers and format your laptop hdd, depending on your sistem install window 7 or windows xp (Titan ue, will do it for you), then the drivers, antivirus, malware protection and a firewall, if that doesnt work maybe a loose memory, try to run some memory tests to be sure (You can find some software on the net for this purpose), try to remove the hdd from the laptop and check for virus and malware on other machine with a good and actualized antivirus using a sata/ide/usb cable this are cheap and it shouldnt be hard to find one on some electronics or computer shop... if none of this works you should take it to a tecnician. good luck.

I want to paint the outside case and the touch pad, how do I remove these?

You have to completely disassemble the laptop

1) Remove ALL power to the Notebook.

2) Follow Anti-Static Precautions

3) Remove the Display Assembly.
Disassemble the Display Assembly, until you just have the Top Cover in your hand. (Gateway term = LCD Assembly Lid )

2) Remove the Ram Memory, Wireless Card, Harddrive, Optical Drive, Keyboard Cover, Keyboard, Palm Rest, and remove the motherboard.

{ Advise using an ESD wrist strap connected to a good ground source.
Average cost is around $3 to $6.
I connect, for example, to an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of an open, empty desktop computer case.

Use a mutli-compartment container for the various screws you will remove.
Label each compartment for the area the screw/s come out of.

If no multi-compartment container is available, you can substitute with a clean egg carton. Label each egg holder.

SOME screws look VERY similar to other screws.
DO NOT mix them up! }
