My problem is this I got a gateway profile 5 working perfect with a 15? lcd on I got a Gateway made by LG LM190E05 (SL)(01) 19?lcd for it to up grade my machine so I connected the 2 connectors that go on the motherboard their the same as the 15? and started the computer and all I get is the bright light from the lcd lamps but no video I was wondering if I need to change some wires on the video connector from the lcd or add a board or a driver to my gateway or something can you please help.
Gateway has multiple part numbers for the LCD inverter board. Part numbers V01216400103, V01216400104, and V01216400105 are for the Profile 5 and 5.5 series with a 15" monitor. Part number V01316500104 and maybe others are installed in Profile 5 and 5.5 with 17" and 19" monitors.
Also the LG part number for the 19" monitor provided in Gateway literature is LM190E02-A4. There is no mention of the LM190E05 SL in the product specs I have seen. Gateway does make special purpose runs and does change components without much much notice though.
The definitive source of exact information is Gateway Tech Support. It may cost you a couple of bucks to get answers, but the value added to your system with a 19" vs. 15" screen to say nothing of the viewing comfort should far outweigh the cost of accurate information.
Good luck with your upgrade. Please keep me posted on whatever you try be it successful or not. I too have a Profile 5.5 with 15" and have been considering the larger screen upgrade.

After booting my computer the screen appeared a dark shade of blue. I have checked the cables and they are fine. I have rebooted the drivers for the monitor and the graphics card (onboard intel graphics media accelerator 900) I believe the problem to be within the moniter settings. I.E the RGB settings, however it would take too long to adjust these colours mannually. I have restored the settings on the monitor to defult but they are not correct. The monitor apperars to be working properly (i.e the colour is fine withing the onscreen menu) but my windows display is poor. Could you please assist on either a solution or the correct R , G ,B settings for this monitor.
Many thanks
A much distressed
