Hello to all 1) Just finished building a new box, and took a lot of parts from my gateway select 1200, which has been updated a lot in the last three years. Question: I am building a box with the amd 1.2 processor, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a motherboard for...

Looking for a latop for my college bound daughter. Circuit City has the gateway 6010GZ Notebook on sale for 699 this week. Any thoughts on on this model? Any suggestions for a like Notebook?

Has anyone upgraded the hard drive in one of these ? Any tips ? What are the specs the new drive needs to have ? I'm going to reinstall the OS from scratch. This page says the limit is 30GB: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/SHARED/2900728su4.shtml Yet there are outfits selling 80GB upgrades...

Looking inside a USB socket or two the prong seems to be part of the socket so maybe it snapped off somehow. If you're not happy dismantling the PC and soldering on a new socket (I'm not sure I'd bother), how about a 2-or 4-way unpowered hub to give you a few more sockets? "Anthony Giorgianni"...

In cleaning out fuzz between keys on my keyboard (Laptop 450X) I have popped a couple of keys off in the past and they popped right back on. It was accidental at first but didn't seem to cause a problem. Tonight I popped a couple off and they won't snap back on. I notice that the ones that...

I have a new Gateway 614GE with one of those double layer Samsung TSST corp TS-H552B DVD burners. I am using Nero 6 to burn DVDs. I have tried burning at 8x, 4x, and even 2x. I have tried to burn video and data DVDs. I have Nero set to check the data after burning. Nero ends up with a bad data...

well, it's time for me to consider replacing this micron pc laptop & I don't want to repeat my mistakes. Basic question is Should I consider an gateway laptop as a viable alternative or would I be inheriting a bunch of poor design/quality problems? Any insight you could provide would be...

This is a strange question, but here goes I noticed on one of the two USB ports on my 9300 laptop, there's a little black thing (spacer?) missing that seems to fit over the actual four USB prongs. So the prongs are exposed. While the jack works, if I even slightly more a USB cord/plug, the...

Sounds good to me. Newer versions of Windows do a more accurate and complete job of identifying the CPU. Intel has a free download of a program called CPUID... Ben Myers On Thu, 09 Jun 2005 08:10:02 -0700, wrote: I have a Gateway Solo 9300 with a "intel inside Pentium !!!"...

Does the 450 Laptop have a system board battery (Bios Backup battery)? The reason I ask is…. I usually take my 450 main power battery out when not using the laptop for a few days. Keeps it from dropping off the top 15% of its available full power level when left in the laptop for more than a...

I have to kill humans to feed my vampire-PC and the cops are becoming a problem for me. What can I do now?

Hi. My AC adapter prong is very loose on my laptop. The power cord only works intermittently. How difficult is it to open the laptop to get to this piece. Does a nut hold this prong tight, or perhaps it needs to be soldered. Has anybody messed with the prong?

I'm looking for the dip switch settings and assignments Intel 586 120MHz system with the MBDSAC009ADWW mother board. I found a graphic on the Gateway site and it's suppose to be for my motherboard, but following their list I get checksum errors. Thanks, Ernie

Anyone know of any kind of upgrade to this dinosaur or even a way to use it just as a TV monitor. Won't go above 800x600 but the TV picture was not to bad so.... If I can't convert it to watch TV on or increase the resolution then I'll probably use it as a boat anchor.

Does anyone have instructions for replacing the hard drive on a Gateway 200STM notebook? (This is the Samsung model that was also sold by Dell as their X200.) The Gateway support site says the hard drive is not user-upgradeable, but... TIA.

I'm sure that each of us has had some experience (usually bad) with a tech support phone call to your favorite equipment manufacturer. More than likely, the "tech" at the other end of the line will have an accent think enough to cut with a butcher knife. In most cases, these "dolts" will put you...

So I go dig this old laptop out of the closet so I could set it up as a DVD playstation for the kids only to realize I no longer have the restoration CD. In doing my research before attempting a complete reformat of this thing, I see that people can not get the hardware DVD working without...

How hard is it to replace the Hard Drive, the system fan and the heat sink fan on a Solo 9500 laptop? I'm pretty handy with a screwdriver and can do most ordinary things on a PC. I've never even seen the insides of a laptop though - except I did replace the screen assembly on an ancient Solo a...
