The fan normally runs in sync with high CPU usage. So, I would say normal. Go ahead and blow out the system with canned air it has become noisier than usual.

1 to 1-1/2 hours to tear-down, 2 hours + to put back together....lolif you've never done this before, I don't recommend it. Laptops have HUNDREDS of parts, and you'll have to strip it down to the motherboard to even begin to repair it. Some just need the connector re-soldered; others need the connector de-soldered, removed and then replaced. You will have to hunt around a bit harder for that part than for a new adapter, but you should be able to find one.Bottom-line. When you buy a laptop, you need the confidential damage/loss insurance. These things are VERY expensive to repair (as you've discovered,) unless you do the work yourself. On a positive note, mfr's of newer laptops have designed seperate power-boards for their lappys, others make it easier to get to so you don't have to remove quite so many parts to get to it....Look for a Service Manual online (if you can get one...) and you will see what you're in for.

HelloYou can download drivers from Gateway:http://support.gateway.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=2373There are two cameras listed to download ,download both and install one by one until windows installs the correct driver.Hope this helps.

Go to the "Start" menu, then choose "Settings," "Control Panel" and "Regional and Language Options."
Click the "Languages" tab, then the "Details" button, the "Settings" tab and the "Add" button.

Choose an input language from the list. You can choose ANY language. For example, if English (US) is the "input language," check the "Keyboard layout/IME" box to select the US-International English keyboard from the list. Click "OK" and close the input window. A language indicator should appear in the System Tray (the area in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop). Switch between input languages by pressing the "Alt" and "Shift" keys simultaneously.

Try connecting an external monitor to your laptop and see if there is a video coming up. If there is, the monitor is broken and you will have to get it fixed. However if there isn't, try going into your BIOS by hitting F2 as soon as you turn on your laptop and repair your Operating System.

does the webcam show up in device manager with a yellow exclaimation mark? If it isn't in there at all, I wonder if it can be disabled in the BIOS perhaps?

Visit this link and download the webcam driver and software

This monitor may not have built-in speakers. It may have supported Gateway's monitor mounted sound bar. That sound bar connected to the 3.5 mm audio out on a computer and a DIN port on the monitor. The simplest solution is to connect your source to appropriate speakers. Depending on your audio setup, you could connect the video source to a receiver with HDMI IN and HDMI Out (ARC), computer speakers or an audio extractor. (If you are using an HDMI cable between the Gateway LP2417 and a computer, you may need to reset the audio output to use basic computer speakers (3.5mm jack).) VGA and DVI connections don't support audio so I assume you are using the HDMI port. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Re connecting the wires may work without issues.

No you don't need a driver. These are very plain powered speakers that come with a mains adapter and a lead with a 3.5mm stereo jack at both ends. Plug one in the speaker and the other into the headphone jack on the front or the speaker socket on the back which will either be a socket on the motherboard, or if your son put a sound card in the computer, it will be in a sound card. If it doesn't play straight away, go into Settings - Audio and make sure the sound card or the On-Board Audio is enabled.
