Power jack fix

http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Gateway/450ROG/3501353sp66.shtmlhttp://www.laptopking.com/kingpartdetails.asp?ref=2371&category=dcjackThe above is for an example, not advertising.Enlarge the photo. Shows the Front and Rear view also.The Center Pin is the Positive connection. The Center Pin has one prong lead going to it.The cylindrical metal shell, inside the jack; is the Negative connection. As you can see there are two prong leads going to it.Lastly there are two prongs that stick up also; but only go to the U-shaped metal bracket, that adds stability to the jack.All prongs of course go down into the motherboard, and are soldered in place. The jack is shown upside down.You need to wear an ESD wrist strap, and have it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source.Your body carries Static Electricity. Static WILL fry out (Short Circuit), the delicate hardware components inside a computer.With an ESD wrist strap, the threat of Static shock to the components is removed.(And having it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source)Motherboard removed, the motherboard is turned Bottom side up; so you can access the solder joints, to each one of the DC Power Jack's prongs.I cut a 6 inch piece of Desoldering Braid, (Solder Wick), and lay 1/2 inch of the tip; across one of the solder joints.Lay your 25 watt (Or so) soldering iron on top of the braid, JUST until the solder melts. (No.2 chisel tip for the iron)All you are trying to do at this point, is try to remove as much of the solder as you can.The solder wick, (Desoldering Braid), will su-ck the solder up.Usually the first try gets rid of a lot. You will be leaving behind a thin coat of solder.What you DON'T want to do is burn the motherboard. Go slow. Takes all day, it takes all day.If you overheat the motherboard in that solder joint hole's area, you risk lifting a circuit trace up off the motherboard.[Circuit Trace. Also known as Signal Trace. Think very thin flat copper wires, going all over the motherboard ]You can also burn the circuit trace hole, (Solder joint hole), and then it won't accept tinning. (To Tin with solder, is to leave a light coat of solder. A soldering iron, or gun's tip; is Tinned before it is ready to use)Solder wick tip part that you are using get's 'full', then cut it off so you have a new tip to work with.Go around, and remove the excess solder, from all those DC Power Jack solder joints.Removed the excess solder from one DC Power Jack prong?Allow the motherboard to cool a bit, before going on to the next one.All excess solder removed from each DC Power Jack's prong, there should just be a light, to slightly heavier; coat of solder left behind.With the motherboard cool enough to touch, use your fingers to put prying pressure on the jack.The balls of your fingers grip the jack, and your fingernails work as fulcrums. Gives leverage for your fingers.Solder iron tip cleaned (Wipe across damp sponge), touch each solder skin joint left behind. You will see you can pry on one side; more than the other; and 1 or 2 prongs should start coming up out of the motherboard.You can only go so far with them, because the other prongs are still holding the jack.Allow to cool down some if needed, then go to the other prongs, and heat their solder skin joints.Keep going back, and forth; or around, and around; until finally all prongs are free from the motherboard, and the jack is removed.If there is a skin coat of solder left over the circuit trace holes -LEAVE IT ALONE.If you try to pick it open, or drill it out with an X-Acto knife blade; you RISK ruining the motherboard.When you go to install the new power jack, the prongs will be resting up against those holes; and you just touch the solder skin joints one at a time, until the prongs poke through.See how easy that is? lol!BEFORE installing the new jack you need to THOROUGHLY clean the solder joint areas. The circuit trace holes, and surrounding area.I use an old toothbrush, and Isopropyl Alcohol. (Rubbing alcohol)91 percent is best, but 70 percent will do.50 percent = no IMHO, because it is 50 percent WATER, and 50 percent Alcohol.CAUTION!!Isopropyl alcohol is EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!Use in a WELL ventilated area with NO sparks or flames present.After cleaning you may find that solder was lifted off, and the circuit trace hole needs to be re-tinned again.Do so if needed.DC Power Jack in place, I suggest a LITTLE dab of Rosin paste flux; on each prong to be soldered. (Use a flux paste brush is best)Helps make that solder stick, and you can make a pretty solder joint. (Should resemble a 'Hershey's Kiss', and be bright, and shiny)Just examples, not advertising;1) http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=20627442) http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=20497743) http://www.amazon.com/Oatey-30710-Solder-Flux-Brush/dp/B000M2WO3C/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1357458865&sr=1-3&keywords=flux+brushMore info that may help;http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/12/06/dc-power-jack-repair-guide/Service Manual (Free),http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-laptop-service-manuals/#toc-gatewayGo to - Gateway 400.

I have a Gateway LP2417 monitor and there's No sound.Hoe do I fix it,so I can hear the video that is playing?

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

Do i need a driver for old gateway gmax2000 speakers connected to an old acer-based home built pc my nephew gave me?

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. This shows the cable https://picclick.com/Vintage-Gateway-2000-ACS41-Altec-Lansing-Multimedia-Computer-314990339798.html#&gid=1&pid=1 More here https://www.google.com/search?q=gateway+gmax2000+speakers ..

I have a Gateway Laptop that on startup only goes to the configuration screen. It won't boot Windows at all

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.

Gateway / Packard Bell EASYNOTE MS2291 Laptop will not start.

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

I have a 2017 Gateway All in One Pentium Model zx6980 Push power button monitor comes on faintly No signal HD something. Will not boot

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.

I need a gateway laptop recovery cd

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

Gateway 500xl tries to reboot after running for 3 or 4 minutes,reboot not always successful

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.

My Gateway PC is making 1 long beep. I fixed it before when it was doing 3 beeps then a long pause. I fixed that one by cleaning it out but the next day its making 1 long beep. How do i fix this??

Hi, Please run a virus scan on your computer and then put it into hibernate when you're not using it. This will make your pc clean and put it in a state where even the tower is off so noise should be made. Thank you.
