20 Most Recent Gateway NV5216U Notebook Questions & Answers

Since i dont have more details about the issue, i would recommend a complete system recovery.
Power on the laptop and keep tapping Alt+F10.
That will take u in to the recovery mode.
Select complete system recovery.
This process will take around 30 to 45 min and make sure u plug in the AC adapter.
Also note that u will lose all your datas.

hello, this laptop screen is hard to find and we both know why one would not try asking Gateway for price, ;-)
you should try www.lcds4less.com you should be able to get one for less than $200 (new one).
if you don't see the model listed call them anyways often times they have a replacement model that fits you might just have to replace the back cover of the LCD screen to match the color.

i hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Amar Sondhi

Brian Wells wants more answers to this question Brian start your own post tell what PC you have, nobody did yet why hyjack posts that fail at least that fact. or go to gateway forum google gateway forum is this heard, ? ask the maker to help you fix this. on most forums this is an ******* post now. hacking passwords so keep that in mind first. ok, things changed in last 5 years. and learn to go to Gateway.com and contact them directly. they will (by laws now) be forced to make you prove you own it. LAWS, in usa NIST and DOJ and in Europe too. history 101: some very PCs old had jumpers. then later back door passwords, now 2018 those are *******. and last , none of the above allowed, by design, 2018., only the maker can help. on newer PCs from about w8 introduction UEFI rules.

I can't tell you that... but if you want to get it work again, install the newest drivers from NVidia and it should work.

Did it come with Win8 installed already? Was it ever working before? Or did you install Win8 on this machine and now it won't boot up?

penguintech October 18, 2012 9:36:23 PM what are you trying to do? if your trying to recover from the partition and it is not allowing you to do so, you may have corrupted the restore partition. or you let the 30 days expire and you have no choice but to reinstall or purchase a legal license. Either way, it may be best to contact gateway for original disks (usually a minimal fee) and once your back up and running, make sure you make a set of recovery disks before you do anything else.

If it is a new hard drive it could need formatting or if it already has software loaded it could need the drive formatting on a different machine. I have noticed something strange, probably in the bios settings of one computer I had contact with recently. It resisted all attempts to load an operating system on an empty drive but loading an operating system with a different machine and then reinstalling the drive in the original it accepted the new operating system without any further hitches. Another thing to think about was the time we tried to take a look at a hard drive and all my friend's machines refused to read it. It turned out his machines had 32 bit operating systems and the fresh hard drive was on 64 bit.

Battery needs to b replaced
