You can restore the computer back to factory default,to do so, follow the below steps:
Turn Off the computer, now as soon as you hit the power button, keep on holding "Alt" key & keep on tapping "F10" key, i.e Alt+f10, it will open the recovery console, select full factory restore and follow onscreen instruction. NOTE: This will erase all the datas on the computer.

If the above mentioned steps are not working then you need an RCD to do so. Contact the Gateway support.

hi there, it may be that your cable connecting your monitor to the computer is being wiggled loose. You need to leave this to the pros as this can't be explained over the internet. You need to bring it to a computer shop for them to reconnect the computer. Tell them that the monitor cable is being severed from the graphics card.

check your local phonebook for computer repair shops. google is loads of help with that endeavor as well

What has happened is part of your back lighting circuitry has gone out. Yes it is repairable but can cost most of what a replacement monitor will cost these days. Check that out before spending the money. If the problem is only in the back lighting circuit then expect to spend about $100 for a replacement board.

LCD monitors lifespan depends on the quality. Normal use and you should get 2-3 years of reliable service minimum. The display itself is good for about 4000 or so hours of use or more. The problems that show up are always (well 99.99% of the time) are back lighting problems like you have experienced. You should turn it off by the switch when not using it as every hour it runs the screen save is an hour of usable life. Heat is not good for it so if your computer gets the dust cleaned out to keep it cool do the monitor at the same time. Once a year at least more if you smoke use gas heat and have pets.

Tube monitors have a much longer life but you have the size weight and poorer display to go with them. If you have to go back to a tube monitor don't go back to your 14 ask around and you should be able to get a 17 or 19 crt for free. Or expect to pay no more than $10-20 for one.

hook it up to another monitor then control panel then display see i8f something was changed in there
otherwise your screen may have gone but it's only two years old
what were you doing when you lost your screen

sounds like the LCD inverter gone bad.

you might get lucky in finding one on EBAY.


yeah gateway sucks on customer service.
