Quite easily Sergio
The plastic Power On button you see, presses against a carbon button Power On switch, below it.
I suggest removing the Switch Cover, and then you can access the Power On switch's carbon button, and press it down to turn the laptop on.
You can also, then see about repairing the Power On button assembly, or replace the Switch Cover.
1) Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter {Charger}, and Battery.
2) Laptop closed, laid on it's top; Bottom side up.
Turn it so you are looking down in the Battery Compartment, where the Battery was......
Down in the Battery Compartment are 4 Philips head screws to remove. You need the smaller No.1 Philips screwdriver, or the equivalent Jewelers screwdriver.
Here is the Base Enclosure, (Bottom Cover), not installed on the laptop,

There are 4 views. The page automatically opens, with a Bottom view, and the Battery Compartment at the top.
SET, your mouse cursor in the middle of the photo. This allows the Zoom In feature.
Go to the top where the Battery Compartment is, and view the 4 holes going along the Top.
This shows you where the 4 screws to be removed are.
Same design, different Gateway notebook,

Go to the third photo down. Has two screws circled in Red.
I just want you to look at the Battery Compartment. (Not the red circled screws)
Look under the whitish - www.InsideMyLaptop.com -
You can see the first two screws pretty visibly. Almost make out the 3rd one, no to the 4th screw.
Once these 4 screws are removed, turn the laptop over.
Open the laptop.
Now you are going to remove the Switch Cover.
In the above link scroll down to the 5th photo, and 6th photo.

Hello
It sounds like your AC cord or the female plugin soldered onto the motherboard has gone bad and will no longer make a connection to charge the battery or power the laptop on.
You would have to try a new power cord to find out which is the problem. If the cord fixes it, then it was just a bad cord (as you said it gets very hot, this maybe a sign of a cheap cord that has gone defective).
If the cord is not to blame, then the female plugin is loose and there is little you can do unless your an expert at soldering.
Post back with anymore questions or comments for additional help. Thank you for choosing Fixya!

There is no way to get around a hard drive password as the password is not in the BIOS it is stored on the control board for the hard drive itself.
The only option is to send it off the a Data Recovery company.
SOURCE: My gateway laptop will not turn on when you push power button.
If you power it on and get the light it means either two things:
1. It needs a minimal charge on the battery to power. ( havent seen this since the old Compaq/Apple stuff ) or
2. The motherboard is fried. ( Just diagnosed a HPDV6000r special edition with this beautiful computer, dead motherboard ).
What is the warranty like:
NOTE TO ALL STUDENTS: Buy New laptops in November, so the warranty comes up in October, after you know you need more computer or repairs!
