Question about Gateway 505GR PC Desktop

Flashing Green Light next to voltage switch

Hey Kids! I guess I've got 2 problems 1: My system stops booting at the "Gateway" splash screen and the hard drive light stays solid orange. I have to keep shutting it off and back on, then after doing this 4 or 5 times the system makes it past the "Gateway" splash screen and I'm up. Problem #2: Now the green light next to the voltage swith is "flashing" and the power on switch does not respond? Anyone?

For problem #1 there is a MBR (Master Boot Record) problem, meaning that Windows is unable to find Windows. This can either be a software problem or a hard disk failure. If you have your Windows XP disc boot up with it in your cd drive and when it starts press 'R' for repair as this wil repair system files and you will not lose any settings or doc's. When you are running go to your hard disk drive manufacturer and run a diagnosis and repair if neccassary. Problem #2 should sort itself out if left unplugged from the mains supply and the power supply unit for 15 mins or so. If not there is a power supply that needs replacing.

Hi James,

First of all thank you for posting your question here at Fixya.

Flashing of the LED light green has two error code.

1. Lamp Fan failure - if the lamp LED at the front panel blinks green, this is an indication that there's a malfunction on the lamp fan. You've mentioned that you've replaced the lamp, please make sure that the connector of the fan and other connectors are securely connected. Double check it.

2. DM boot failure - If the Timer/Power at the front panel blinks green for more than 1 minute, this is an indication that the DM failed to booted up. I have a link where you can buy DM repair kit, click it HERE, it includes parts that are know to be faulty, illustrated instruction that will guide you in the whole process of repair. Your unit is a V26 chassis, when you are on the link, you can see two version of the DM repair kit for V26 chassis, one is the same working voltage of the capacitors and the other one is the upgraded version. It's up to you if you are going for upgrade or not.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Have a great holiday!

Kind Regards,

Mjsazon
