Gateway N214 Laptop Questions & Answers
Wont connect to internet
Try using a cable modem (CAT 5, RJ45) first and then download the updated wifi drivers from the Gateway site.
Will not charge. Keeps saying that it does not detect a battery. Sometimes says that it is plugged in and not charging. What should I do?
If your battery has been installed for a long time [and never removed] you can get CORROSION build-up on your terminals [as with any battery]. This will quite often prevent correct charging from happening.
Try removing your battery and cleaning the metal terminals [also clean the contact points in your computer for the same reason].
High humidity work-place situations can also cause this problem.
OR your battery may be at the end of its "useful life" [around 2 years or so if constantly used without an AC power source]; so you may need to replace your battery.
Most battery suppliers can TEST your battery for you ... ok
Heatin up
I assume you have already turned your laptop over to find dust clogging up the vents. Opening the laptop should not be needed in order to remove the dust. You can use a standard household vacuum cleaner hose to vacuum the vents. If you prefer, and would like for more air flow during this process, you can remove the battery from the unit.
I have a white thin line running across the screen, how can i remove it
This can only be one of the 3 things, the first two is what you hope for, the third is costly.
1. The lcd cable assembly is loose.
2. The inverter card may need to be reseated
3. The lcd itself has a thinline crack and needs to be replaced
All of these require the knowledge and knowhow of how to open the actual
inlay and internal parts, which is actually not so hard. Also since
you say its loose anything you do now can better reseat a component just
mean sit can jitter itself loose again.
I have a Gateway LP2417 monitor and there's No sound.Hoe do I fix it,so I can hear the video that is playing?
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.

How to make touch screen on gateway computer upside down and how to put it back?
f you want to use your touch screen on your gateway computer in an upside down orientation, there are a few things you need to do.
First, you need to change the orientation of the screen in the control panel. To do this, go to the control panel and select "Display." Next, click on the "Settings" tab and then click on the "Orientation" drop-down menu. Select "Landscape (flipped)" from the menu and then click on the "Apply" button.
Now that the orientation of the screen has been changed, you need to adjust the position of the touchscreen so that it is in the correct position. To do this, go to the control panel and select "Hardware and Sound." Next, select "Pen and Touch" and then click on the "Calibrate" button.
Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the touchscreen. Once you have finished, the touchscreen should be working correctly in the upside down orientation.
I hope this helps!
