A possible RAM issue; having problem you applications

It is a power supply problem. The only fuses are in the power supply. Do not open your power supply they can cause a shock. A new power supply is only about $20

In your situation, please make a list of all your apps that you lost. For the internet explorer, if you have another pc you can get to the internet on, I recommend downloading IE7. Then you will need to go to add/remove programs, windows components tab, uninstall the version of IE that you have. Next take the copy of IE7 that you downloaded from MS, and install.
It will require some work to re-install all of your programs... I would advise you to contact Gateway and see if you can get a disk from them and re-install your OS, If the virus did that much damage you are better of to start with a fresh copy of windows.

Bill,
If the hard drive is still good, your files are safe. Replacing the motherboard may mean you will need to reinstall the operating system so you will have to get the files off before you do that.

Now, even though it could be the motherboard, it could be any number of things. If I read your post correctly, nothing happens at all now? You push the power button and nothing? This to me sounds like the power supply. These go out quite frequently and a failing power supply can cause it to lock up. When the power supply fails completely, then you don't get anything. These are relatively inexpensive.

If a new power supply does not solve your issue, then start by removing all internal cards, floppy drives, cd drives, hard drives from the computer. Actually, you can do this first to make sure it still doesn't do anything before replacing the power supply. Then try and turn it on only with memory, cpu, cpu fan, and the onboard video (or video card if it doesn't have an onboard video port). If it does work, then you can add each item back one by one until you find the culprit. However, in my experience as a PC tech, this is almost always the power supply. Probably something like 95 % power supply, 4 % motherboard, and 1 % other. Good luck and if you need any further assistance, let me know. Also, I would appreciate it if you could give this solution a rating of fixya. Thanks! :c)

you can use kingroot to root your phone. and some root apps might harm yor os i suggest you not to root your phone

This monitor may not have built-in speakers. It may have supported Gateway's monitor mounted sound bar. That sound bar connected to the 3.5 mm audio out on a computer and a DIN port on the monitor. The simplest solution is to connect your source to appropriate speakers. Depending on your audio setup, you could connect the video source to a receiver with HDMI IN and HDMI Out (ARC), computer speakers or an audio extractor. (If you are using an HDMI cable between the Gateway LP2417 and a computer, you may need to reset the audio output to use basic computer speakers (3.5mm jack).) VGA and DVI connections don't support audio so I assume you are using the HDMI port. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Re connecting the wires may work without issues.

No you don't need a driver. These are very plain powered speakers that come with a mains adapter and a lead with a 3.5mm stereo jack at both ends. Plug one in the speaker and the other into the headphone jack on the front or the speaker socket on the back which will either be a socket on the motherboard, or if your son put a sound card in the computer, it will be in a sound card. If it doesn't play straight away, go into Settings - Audio and make sure the sound card or the On-Board Audio is enabled.

f you want to use your touch screen on your gateway computer in an upside down orientation, there are a few things you need to do. First, you need to change the orientation of the screen in the control panel. To do this, go to the control panel and select "Display." Next, click on the "Settings" tab and then click on the "Orientation" drop-down menu. Select "Landscape (flipped)" from the menu and then click on the "Apply" button. Now that the orientation of the screen has been changed, you need to adjust the position of the touchscreen so that it is in the correct position. To do this, go to the control panel and select "Hardware and Sound." Next, select "Pen and Touch" and then click on the "Calibrate" button.

They deleted the Operating System by deleting their own stuff Docs, images, Saved Links etc. and also everything in Windows System probably in spite. You need to reload the operating system (Win 11) from fresh. Charge them from their final pay check, or ask IT to do it.

Question edited for a lot more clarity, FULL 'make, model (what it is)'. Question moved from 'Power Computers'. Connect a computer monitor to the port on the back. When I Google the model number the first thing that shows is Replacement LCD Screens for it which leads me to believe there is an issue with them. There is three parts to the display, the video card section, the exciter module and the screen itself. It needs correct diagnosis, or buy a new one now you have reset it clean, if that is what you mean by 'hard restart'? You might mean 'hard boot', power off and back on without proper shutdown. That is bad for the OS. https://www.google.com/search?q=Model+MS2291 Keyboard shortcuts for shutdown

It sounds like there could be a few different issues going on with your computer. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the connections: Make sure all cables and connections are secure and properly plugged in. This includes the power cable, monitor cable, and any other peripheral cables.
2. Check the monitor: Try connecting your computer to a different monitor to see if the issue is with the monitor itself. If the other monitor works, the problem is likely with your original monitor.
3. Check the hard drive: Disconnect the new SSD hard drive and try booting up the computer without it. If the computer boots up successfully, there may be an issue with the hard drive or its installation.
4. Check the battery: As you mentioned, the issue could be related to the battery on the motherboard. Try replacing the battery with a new one and see if that helps.
5. Try booting into safe mode: If the computer is still not booting up, try booting into safe mode by pressing the F8 key during startup. This will allow you to troubleshoot any issues with your computer's software.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your computer to a professional for further diagnosis and repair.

Gateway does not provide recovery CDs for their laptops. Instead, they provide a recovery partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the laptop to its original factory settings. To access the recovery partition, you will need to press a specific key or combination of keys when the laptop is first turned on. This key or combination of keys will vary depending on the model of laptop you have. You can find instructions for accessing the recovery partition in the laptop's user manual or on Gateway's

Thats a pretty old PC but still usable. You might have a bad video card or the heat sink has failed. Adding some thermal paste to the processors heatsink will probably fix this. If not, replace or add a video card. The video card can be found pretty cheap online.

It should be the same as the video. https://www.google.com/search?q=Gateway+ZX4270+how+to+add+memory and here https://www.google.com/search?q=gateway+zx4270+hard+drive+replacement ....
