Gateway FPD1975  19

EzTune problem with lost PIN number to disable... (by 7 users)

posted by jcholmes on Feb 29, 2008


Ok, I go and download EzTune. But it will not work. I ask them for the PIN number. They tell me they have no record of me. I did register my monitor with Gateway when I got it. So the monitor only comes on for a few seconds and then goes blank. I have to have a way to get EzTune software that works. Gateway will not tell me how.

I have the same problem and have called Gateway twice and have spoken to two separate technicians. Both of them have done different things, but the problem is still there. Big ugly thing in the middle of the screen saying that the Gateway Anti-Theft is on and the screen is in black and white instead of color. Guess my next computer will not be a Gateway.

I have the same damn problem and its really getting on my nerves. When I call Gateway toll free numbers everyone acts like they dont know what Im talking about and thats frustrating too. Then they want you to bring the computer back 3 and 4 times only to still act retarded and act they dont know what youre talking about. This is really PISSING ME OFF especially when that damn grey sign pops up in the middle of the screen and stays there. PLEASE HELP BEFORE I THROW IT THROUGH A WALL!!

same problem only I acquired several monitors at auction and cannot get them unlocked I understand theft deterrence but there are many needed and legal reasons to buy and sell used , assets. There is no way for me to find or contact the original owners and of course these monitors worked fine when obseved with the original pc but after seperating them are useless it has cost me dearly in time frustration and respect. I for one will not be buying any gateway components. Others will follow and gateway products will be ?????. Sorry I just would like some solution to wasting a 100 or so monitors
