I have a Gateway LT2032U. Problem: No display on the screen and no display on any external monitor I connect to it. The computer starts and I assume it is booting. I know the 10.1" screen that came with it is good because i connected it to another laptop and it worked. Also there is a bay on the bottom that is empty, looks kinda like a wi-fi card should go there but that's not it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Did you reboot the laptop to see if the display would show on the external monitor?
The video will showon most systems when you reboot without you having to do anything. Some systemswill require you to hit the FN (Function key) + F1 thru F12. Hold downthe FN key then hit the correct key for displaying on the monitor (F1 thruF12). The correct key will normally have CRT/LCD on it or it will havethe icon of a display.
If after the steps above the video does not show on either monitor, then your Video Card inside the computer is bad.
SOURCE: Gateway laptop screen is black?
This could have several causes, including malware installed on your system, but is frequently the result of some kind of hardware driver conflict. Have you recently installed any new hardware or software to your system? If so, disconnect it and try again.
The black screen is an indication that the windows os is not booting onto the system. If you have the recovery console installed, or have the cds, you can run the recovery console to troubleshoot or repair your installation of windows. This procedure is different for xp or vista, so we need to know what os you're on, as well as any error messages you see when it fails to boot.
To begin with, try tapping F8 as it boots up and see it you can get into the OS options screen, then choose Last Known good configuration to boot windows.
Here's a great article to help you troubleshoot the situation, then let us know how it goes and what comes up..
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

it should just fine. My wife has an MSI Wind netbook with the same processor as yours and she uses an external CD drive all the time... she will rip CD's for her MP3 player, and create her own CD's for use in the car.
The processor on the netbook isn't all that powerful, so you may not want to multi-task a bunch while using the CD burner.

Did you use a static mat or band to discharge any electrical activity out of the body, if not you probably had a static buildup and discharged it on the main board causing a disruption in the data flow, you may need to re-install your operational system.
