My gateway laptop's screen lamp recently went dark. There's slight visual appearance if you point the screeen at a light or something but aside from that you cant see anything your working on. One thing I do notice is if I close the screen and pull it open really fast the lamp kinda just goes on and off real quick with a slight clicking sound. What could the problem be?
You may need to go onto the system board and reseat the connection. It could be loose. Maybe a drop or some type of sudden impact caused it. If that doesn't work then your LCD inverter is going bad and you my need to replace the LCD screen.

When downloading a file with a PC and AOL, I first get Download Manager and save to a folder. Then a Download Continuation Window appears with options to Open, Find, or Close. Trying to Open (or any other option) brings up the hour glass. Trying to close the e-mail or any other window gets the hour glass, as well. I must restart and go to the saved downloaded file. Or, I can minimize and the go to the file. What can I do to Open the file immediately after downloading -- without getting the hour glass?

Gateway 450ROG SN: 0031598515 powers up only intermitently after many attempts. I hear a single click, power lights flash and then almost immediately another single click and it try all over again. Sometimes well into the boot cycle, sometimes immediate. Same issue when starting using a Linux boot CD, with and without battery, different power adapters, etc so not a software issue. Sometimes after many such attempts it will start and if I don't touch or move the laptop it will run for days using remote laptop and mouse. Is there a internal power supply that can be replaced or is this just a motherboard replacement issue? Thanks for you help, Dennis
