Gateway Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

well get Ethernet working first. wired to router than at gateway.com get the driver for this, see it works. laptop old came with w7 but gw does not support xp here. xp is 8 years older. NO XP allowed, a super bad idea XP the virus magnet . the driver update is there https://global-download.gateway.com/GDFiles/Application/Application/Application_Acer_1.02.3502_W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634698952292842291&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=NV%20SERIES&Step3=NV53A&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=GATEWAY&SC=PA_6G https://www.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/drivers-downloads

gateway.com ask?

old windows did that, any illegall AC power loss or reset pushed it hangs ad was pain. use F8 to fix it. called safe mode, google that.

it means the drive is bad, tray jamming on eject or old sticker lapels stuck inside ? or windows is infected or the driver for the DVD drive is wrong one.

Here is a link on dis-assembling a solo 9300.Hopefully this will help you find and replace your cmos battery.http://www.laptopsolutions.net/solo_9300_assembly_disassembly.htm

only the service manual covers this, but GW seems to hate those. no country told and PCs vary by, "COUNTRY"

that is hacking is there data lost? not told that ,wow. learn to google hacks / make and model, no 2 PCs hack the same, (at this level) learn google gateway solo 1450 password hack or back doors. is this win98 PC./? relic?

there are only 2 cures. (maker does not allow this) GW 1: guess or ask last owners. 2: hacking google it, only hacking ,solves this. hack Pw learn to use google or Brave https://search.brave.com/search?q=GATEWAY+NE56R+password+hack+or+backdoor&source=web some charged to do that , pay them. some have backdoor PW. ,hit enter 3 times yet?

Hi, Please test your gateway using another monitor to see if the issue is consistent. Also, please remove an CDs or USB attachments from your computer.

well check the off key its on the right corner of the keyboard.

IT BEEPS BUT FAILED TO SAY THE BEEP CODE PC' HAVE 4 BIOS. AMI PHOENIX AWARD INTEL. THE CODE IS NOT THE SAME ON ALL 4. not told at all does fans spin at all? say that there was a fan failure WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, TEXT ERRORS OR FAKE WRONG BEEP CODES. that you thing means fan and does not my wild guess TEXT errors to the screen. so wrong fan used. is the cause. the BIOS reads the fan tachometer sensor RPM (1 pin) and if the if the rpm is wrong due to dead fan or using any wrong fan that runs too fast or slow the , error will pop up after all why let this error CAUSED OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE, (GEE IT DOES NOT) I CALL USING WRONG FAN. NO MODEL FAN TOLD. FROM GATEWAY HARD TO FIND CAN IT IS. FAN LUGGED IN WRONG. IS THE CMOS COIN BATTERY DEAD MAKING FAN CONTROLS LIE;.?

Looks like the IP was incorrect. Type 192.168. 1.1 (the most common IP for Technicolor routers) in the address bar of your web browser to access the router's web-based user interface. You should see 2 text fields where you can enter a username and a password. The default username for your Technicolor router is admin.

It's 20 year old! It is running an operating system that is obsolete and a virus magnet, XP I guess. https://www.google.com/search?q=reset+a+Gateway+Profile+4+X ..

empty trash.

all PCs new out of the box,. go to sleep by law here (usa energy star laws) 2004 monitor 99% are all dead now, due top CCFL back lamp tubes dead they all do that now. even intermittant for the same reasons EOL on CCFL, end of life , all. used 10 hours a day for 5 years and bingo EOL , happens, all.

it needs you wifi credentials set. in the PC. and must have wifi card in the PC, does it?

post a computer problem with Gateway PC. call them on a phone , it is off topic here.

all monitors worked new ,yours is 2007 made, and most old ones are dead now, for sure older than 2010 and used 10 hrs a day the CCFL tubes are now DEAD or odd as H3LL. blinking means sleep mode is PC on , are PC fans all spinning? turn on PC first, then after 30second (now) turn on Monitor last if monitor is ok (PC not)the monitor tells you PC is dead. so monitor is bad. what's new there? nothings ever. CCFL are dead. test and proof is here. the magic of 1 flash light https://www.pcdied.com/monitors_and_screens/flash-light-trick.html#flashlighttest

you are confused ( the rules are not singular ever) first of all these are the rules on DDR3 (any mem) upgrades

1. gateway manual covers this but no GW model told.
2. bios shows its ok or upgraded , bios now works.
3. chipset allows this DDR3 and that same density
4. not violating slot limits or both at once limits
5. matching sku on DDR3, says intel clearly.
6. no PC does 32BG with that chip set,. (none sold so no way on the earth to test it ever in that YEAR NEW) but is a logical limit only in the i3 MMC. per its datasheet intel.com
7. try the bios upgrade,
8. NO OS told at all, nor how you know 8GB fails does bios see it>????? if the OS is 32bit max is 4GB (3.2GB with video stealing VRAM from Dram per chipset H67.
9. is this a real intel mobo?> as some are, then if yes ask intel too for help.
10. intel bios is BLH6710H.86A date. Version 0162 or later 2018
11. Most old mobo do not like super new DDR3 it high density DRAM on the sticks, some do if bios upgrade.
12. Intel is mute now on this Discontinuted product. theirs"

Gateway M what does this mean,???? M is notebook not desktop so you posted to gateway forum for any intel actual mobo DH67CL if this mobo came from intel new, then only ask them or post to intel forum not gateway but gee I do know some old makers of PC simply stuffed in this mobo into there cases and sold it by there name. but no GW model told AT ALL. been here yet https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000021462/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards.html RTM from maker, do as they say. and over 4GB needs 64bit OS. the 32GB limit includes PCI memory too, see page 40 , and know that your unstated OS must know how to use the upper memory bank of the MMC controller 4 slots of DDR3 are there. (4x8=32) make sure BIOS likes it first NOT WINDOWs (if is>?) bios is first and bios tells windoz how much DDR3 is there, and works with that. 32BG is possible if all things are correct BIOS if it scans the SPD chip in the DDR3 each , and BIOS is does not know what it sees , it will truncate DDR. max.
