Is it trying to boot up or is it doing absolutely nothing when you plug in the power cord and hit the power button?

When you plug in the power cord is there any lightswhatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of thepower cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, butthe screen is not showing for some reason.

Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with thelaptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issuewhen you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous.

Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoeverwhen you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you wasoperating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cordis bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the powercord is bad.

Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove theBattery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the batteryout) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can putthe battery back in and let it charge.

HOW TO

Boot up with the function key that opens your BIOS. There s a factory or default BIOS in there. (Do not do this, if you are trying to find the factory settings for Microsoft Operating System as when you first received your PC... they are two different things mate.) To do this, you need to go to System Restore and select the earliest Highlighted Date on the backup calendar display. The PC will go back to that date in time... it will NOT delete your data that you have added since then.

I got lt2016u netbook Gateway How do i create a Bootable Disk I got usb FLash drive and its 16GB i need to restore it

Most Windows CD\DVD's are bootable, but if you are referring to a USB bootable, then you will need software like : http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msus/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool/
You will have to have access to the Windows install disc to create, and may have to create it on other computer. gl

I install windows vista on my Gateway Lt2016u Wireless Netbook/laptop...and network adapter drivers are missing.

Hello,

You still need to install the drivers into your computer. You can get all the drivers in the website of the manufacturer.

Look for drivers and download page. Enter the model of your computer and select the operating system that you are running. Install the drivers.

After installing the drivers, make sure that they are all updated to the latest version to make them work to its full potential. You can install RadarSync (www.radarsync.com) - it is a PC driver updater to make your drivers updated all the time.

As sson as i power on my gateway LT2016U the is csreen requests a password. I can get to the the re_boot or system steup menus?

power off laptop........ (this is your laptop you are the Administrator?) yes.....ready power on .... while this is booting up press F2........ you want to get to BIOS screen (note press quickly this has to happen real fast). once the BIOS screen is up use the up/down left/right arrows to navigate....... there are four / five tabs (screens) you are going to disable the password that is on the hard drive.... (on the third or forth screen (tab))... some laptop bios have 4 and other have 5 (4 or 5 being where you can save and exit).... now using the arrows to navi disable all passwords (you can always re-engage) now save and exit, system should re-boot and hopefully bypass the password......... enjoy
