I got this set of computers from one of my friends as he was leaving the country. When i brought it to my house none of the PCs were working. Itook out all the powerboxes and tested them individually and they were working fine. The problem is when i trying switching on the computers they show no signs of life. Niether the cpu fan nor any lights switch on. I have tried switching the cables of the power button to other points on the fornt panel headers but that doesn't help at all. And also on the front panel the brand only says the product is for Orange company, nothing else.

    Not trying to be smart, how do you know the Power Supply's are good? What method of testing did you use? 12 volt power rail, (Yellow wire), shows at least 11 Volts? 5 Volt power rail shows at least 4.5 Volts? (Red wire) 3.3 Volt power rail shows at least 3 Volts? (Orange wire) Have you used a jumper wire on the ATX main power cable's connector, to bypass the Power On switch, to see if it, (They), is at fault? (Green wire {Soft Power On} to ANY Black wire. {Ground) have you used a jumper on the Front Panel header pins to see if you can find the Power On switch pins? Post back in a Comment.

My Gateway ZX4951 is kaput. Is there a way to use the computer as a monitor connected to another PC? Thank you very much.

no.
some PC called AIO all in one, have option (new only choices)
to make PC act as a monitor (input)
your PC now has video jacks and all are inputs.. only
ok I just googled zx4951 and it is and all in one PC.
(what I call fake desktops) lacking all great real desktop features.
you did not post full model number codes, so what version it is , is not told. and matter.
the AIO PCs some have no video or and or inputs
some have none, no VGA, no DVI , no HMDI NOR DP jacks
some have 1 input.
this old PC has CCFL back lamps that 99% are all dead now.
CCFL can and do fail hard at 20k hours, 5 years old on average.
what matters most is your side port jacks I can not see them
and some are in fact optional, I see some have knock outs blanked off in sales ads for yours
lets see what the the manual states now, I read manuals to posters now.
the AIO screen is dead how can a dead PC CCFL PC work as any monitor ever.?
what some can do, dead is connect to any VGA monitor and now
works great or VGA top HDMI to a TV. works. (adapter cable)

rules of the road
all PCs are video output not input
AIO PCs can in fact do both or none, jack wise.
that is how this world works on topic


got this> hdmi left ,vga right blue? do you?, some models do
as this photo is REAL.

aio-undefined-undefined-0.jpg now the actual manual read me to you , from gateway.com
also country mattes too, not told but varies by country too..


https://www.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/drivers-downloads

this PC is sold new (options or none)
3 ports all are ONLY OUTPUTS(stated in the manual clearly)
VGA
HDMI
S-video (on only some)
that means any of those seen can be sent to
any monitor matched,
any TV matched.
or if no match use an adapter. (ask)

when the CCFL dies the VGA and HDMi still output so use that to a TV or any monitor 2010 or newer is best or suffer CCFL again.

1995 jeep wrangler wont go in gear

Actually, in some cases, the transmission may have a problem shifting only sometimes, if your TPS, VSS, or any solenoid on the transmission is going bad. an intermittent problem could be the case; and sometimes, it's just a loose wire.

Power won't come on at all for our air conditioner on our 2002 Town and Country Van. It was working a minute ago????? The fuses all seem fine.

Try unhooking one of the battery cables and leave it off for at least 20 minutes. When you hook it back up the computers should re-boot. That has solved problems for me with heater, interior lites, power windows, AC, day time running lites, power mirrors, CD player, and wipers on GM autos and S-10 PU and Dodge trucks. None of the switches are connected to the device they control anymore. The switch tells the computer to open the window and the computer send a signal to the window motor. When the computer gets confused strange things will happen or not happen. Of course you may have to re-set your radio stations.
