Restart the system. At the initial BIOS screen press ALT + F10 to access the e-recovery option. Follow the instructions.

Be aware that any data or programs you have added or installed after the machine was first powered up will be lost. This includes all accumulated operating system patches and updates. Be sure to back up any files or data you wish to save and be make sure you have the install media and product keys/serial numbers for any software you have installed since the machine was new before restoring the system to its factory default state. I suggest using one of the many available disk imaging programs to make a full backup of the hard disk that you can revert to if the restore process fails for any reason.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dave_fb2c45146b845cea

You can try updating the Wifi Drivers on your Laptop by going to device manager.(My computer---. Properties---->Hardware----> Device manager----->right click on sound drivers and click on update drivers or roll back drivers)



Go to your computer manufacturers support site and download and install the Wifi driver for your model and os.

SOURCE: netbook reset

Hello,

Here is how to restore any Acer or Gateway machine to factory settings:

When you power the netbook on, as soon as you see the Acer logo, hold the Alt key down and start tapping the F10 key repeatedly (takes about 10 seconds to trigger the restore process. It may take a few tries to get the timing right but I promise you this is the way.

The hard drive on your netbook has a hidden restore partition which contains the necessary files to do the factory restore. It is possible that this partition was erased when Ubuntu was installed. If you can't get the Alt+F10 to work, then you will have to contact Acer to get a recovery USB drive.

Hope this helps!

Joe

Got a Hitachi HDD 5k500.b-160 that is password locked. Came out of a Gateway KAV60. It was given to me because. They knew not the BIOS password so I reset it via CMOS battery and what not. Help?

The Hard Drive is what is locked not the bios it seems. The hard drive may be encrypted by Veracrypt or some other third party hard disk encryption platform. The only way to unlock it is to find who encrypted it and ask for the password.

Gateway netbook Kav60 says it cant boot, to insert disc. there is no disc drive.

You may have to order software for this from acer. If you can order it on a USB and the unit has usb then you can use that directly. This could be a known issue with the BIOS and may require an upgrade in addition to the software.

How do i reset gateway kav60

The way to restore Gateways is to hold down the ALT Key and repeatedly hitting f10 then it should bring you to a boot sequence screen then choose the HDD and then hold down ALT and repeatedly hit f10 again that should promt the restore feature for gateway. If that doesnt work the only way to do it is to boot into windows and run the eRecovery program.

I want to reset my gateway kav60 back to factory

Gateway no longer offers the drivers. If you have a Restore Partition on the hard drive, try pressing Alt+F10 and follow the prompts. If you have any important files (pictures, documents, etc,) be sure to back them up as a Factory Restore will delete them.

I have a gateway KAV60. I click on the power button and a white screen appears and I can hear the start up but nothing on the screen displays???? I've rebooted it and would consistanty click on F10,...

The screen needs to be replaced. I just finished replacing one for a friends daughter. Now her sister has the same problem plus a damaged power button and keyboard. Seems to me these are fragile units and break easily. I got my screen from laptopscreen.com/English/model/Gateway/KAV60/ -for a very good price.

My Gateway KAV60 got liquid damage in the system board. While looking online for a new motherboard I couldn't help notice both Acer and eMachines also have a model KAV60 netbook that both look exactly...

It's a very good possibility. Most the motherboards are mass produced by a few companies. They just make a few alterations for different brands, models and configurations. Your only major concerns would be if the back plate would match and wether or not you have a proprietary power supply. If your power supply has a standard 20 or 24 pin configuration it should work.
