I have a gateway laptop LT4008u I need to know if anyone can please help me learn how to restore it back to factory settings.

If you still have the factory O.E.M. in the partition you should be able to do a shortcut key recovery, turn on the device while holding down "ALT" & tap tap tap the "F10" key, it take several attempts of a "hard shut down" & "restart" (power button), if your hardware is working & the device has the original factory O.S. it will bring up the "factory default reset" I've had to "shut down & start up" while pecking away at the keys 9 or 10 times on some devices till the reset finely pop up.. if that does not work try tapping "F8" on the start up, it should give you a few recovery options .. I wish you all the best..

My laptop screen went very dark, I can barely make out whats on the screen but I know its working. What can I do to fix this situation on my gateway p-6860fx pc notebook?

Hi josue fernan...
You need to see if your laptop lcd screen is faulty and/or the lcd inverer is faulty.
1....Test the lcd screen:
Hook your laptop to an outside monitor and then start your laptop normally...if the picture on the external monitor is good, then your lcd screen is bad.
2....Backlight Faulty: If the monitor is still as dark like your lcd screen on the laptop then it could be the backlight that is faulty.
Please take time to rate me thumbs up

Disable bios password

Use http://unlockbiosrecovery.com/Gateway_Bios_Pass.php to get the bios master password for your Gateway Notebook. They only charge $20 and guarantee it to work or they refund your money. They do most laptops bios and hard drive master passwords. As a laptop repair tech I use them often and they are great.
