Hi, I'm helping a friend shop for a notebook. I found this machine at CDW, http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=745114 Problem is their "detailed specs" are not very detailed. Nowhere can i find a listing of ports, battery life, etc. I tried looking the machine up on Gateway's site...

I bought a 450sx laptop back in 2002. I got the extended warranty. My dad bought it off of me last year. We moved and I can't find the restoration cds.

Can't help with a Newton, but 2 wire fans are available by mail order, and a 3 wire fan will work fine, just don't use the odd color speed sensor wire.

I was given a Gateway GS-233. I reinstalled the OS because the previous owner deleted the HD. The owner gave me the software but now I need to identify all the hardware so I can select the correct software to install. I asked the original owner but he doesn't remember. I want to know...

I have a Gateway VX900T CRT 18 inch viewable monitor. It's actually a replacement monitor for one that was defective. Fortunately, we still had our warranty thru Gateway and they sent us another VX900T. This happened 3 years ago, and I'm assuming the replacement monitor was new. But who...

I hauled out my old P133 machine the other night. It used to contain Win98 and stuff, but as it wouldn't read any CDs I put into the 8x speed CD Rom Drive. I instantly thought the drive was gone, and in my frustration, I formatted the hard drive and thought "stuff it!". ;) Then tonight, I did...

I have a two year old Gateway 600 YGR laptop that is dead. I went through months of online t-shoooting with the gateway techs and finally sent it to be repaired. To make a long story short Gateway sent it back not repaired due to evidence of a liquid spill. They said it required a motherboard...
