hi there you only want the driver right? let me know your operating system.

If there is no physical switch, look at the top of your keyboard. You should be looking at the "F" keys ( F!, F2, F3 etc or the number keys (1-2-3-4-5-etc) You should see a little symbol which looks kind of like this ))) (It will be 3 ('s starting small and getting progressively bigger) this is your wireless switch.....hold down the ctrl key and hit this button (Depending on the model, you might have to hold down ctrl, alt or shift) I run into this all of the time....Your manual should give you this info. If you dont have one, go to dells website and download one...it's free. Hope this helps

To find what motherboard you need for replacement, you need to check the Part Number on a sticker on the motherboard, usually located under slot 1 of your laptops RAM ports..
yours will be either:

40-A07040-B400
or
40-A07040-B300
or
40-A07080-B500

You could have a defective screen - a defective inverter or a CCFL lamp.
To determine if you have a LCD screen or video card problem, read this and follow the instructions.

Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:

• Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
• Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
• Picture flickering with dim display or appear black.
• Picture flickering on and off.

All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

its eather got to much dust on it or something stoping it from moving 
or the fan moter has simply gone bad you can eather take it apart yourself and fix it or bring it to a shop 
but no matter what dont use the laptop till it works you will overheat the prosessor and the laptop will be useless

it sound to be loosen connection from inside the latop..you must check the lcd cable and refix it tightly..try..i hve same problem that i fixed

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.

Go into Display properties, contrast and brightness.

the best way is to open the laptop up take out the small battery leave it out for about ten seconds then put it back in,most of the time this will do away with passwords. this is called the cmos battery.

you need to go to bios and set boot options to boot to cd dvd insert your XP disk, then click F10 to save changes and shut down (power off) computer. It must power down (off). When you hit the power button be ready to hit the space bar, to boot from cd

Good day Jose If you are stuck at the computer "Locked" screen then you will have to press the Ctrl, Alt and Delete keys simultaneously to be able to type your password to unlock your screen.

it is actually asking for a bios password
