Question about Gateway FPD1810 18.1" LCD Monitor

Have tried wall-mart

I looked at Wall-Mart for the universal power supply. Yes It is external but what they told me was that I had to get it from Gateway or buy it online. I have tried every extra 12 volt that I can get my hands on but can't find the right one that will fit apperantly it's something that I am just stuck until I get the one that came with the original moniter or find one that will plug in. The moniter has the cord that hooks into the back of the tower it's a long skinny blue one, but the power cord hooks in on the back of the moniter. Thanks for trying to help me. Sorry if I sound like a toatl idiot it's my first time on here and I am still learning how this site works

Well now if you go asking shop folk for this -they wont use their imagination, just in case they get it wrong and you sue. Just be sure that the voltage you need is - what it is - 12V did you say Then go the the electrical isles small items and you will see usually in a bubble pack on the rack a power supply- with a strip of various connectors. The power supply will have a slider switch to select vorltages from 1.5-3-4.5-6-7.5-9-12 volts. These will also have a coloured patch. The connectors are also coloured on the tip. Pick the connector colour that matched the voltage colour- plug in into the cord and lug it into the monitor . And it does not work Huh! Then unplug the connector from the cord and turn it around plug it in- then it it will work.

Well we tried - but I reckon there is a non specific answer out there.
I don't think gear i nour two countries is that different.
OK you have 120 volt mains and we have 240 volt over here but low voltage stuff is much the same.

A possible final solution.
Having established that a common universal power supply has the oomph to run the monitor
[Remember check the monitor spec plate for volts/amps required]- and matched it to a suitable power supply.
You are then left with the plug/socket problem
This picture illustrates what I propose.

How do I wall mount my 50" emerson tv?

Not sure if you're asking about buying a premade mount or wanting to build something yourself. If you go to most big name box stores i.e. Wal Mart, Sears, Target, etc.they sell universal flat screen t.v. wall mounts. They fit most or all t.v.'s and go by the size. If you have a 50" then you just find one that is used for 42" to 54" televisions (this is just an example). Also you can research online or try stores like Best Buy and look for one that is made for your specific brand and model. These are probably more expensive, but they will fit your's exactly with out adjustments. If you mount it yourself you will need a few tools such as a stud finder, drill, probably a wrench for the lag bolts, etc. Check out videos online to help understand how to mount the hardware if the directions are not clear.

Yes, it uses standard power supply, so you can buy a 600+ watt power supply and it will work.

Need a new power cord for a 20inch flat screen curtis mathis tv can you purchase one online

You can buy online. But if the cord you want is the one that plugs directly into the wall socket and runs to the power adapter, you can get that at Walmart, K-mart, home centers, hardware stores, computer stores etc.

My remote broke I need a replacement

You can go to wall-mart and get any universal for as little as $5
If you would like another original, you need to get the model number of the back of your TV. You can buy online new or used, the cheapest would probably be e-bay. Most are less then $10 used.

WHERE CAN i GET A POWER SUPPLY CORD FOR THIS PRODUCT

Are you looking for the cord that plugs into the the electrical outlet that connects to the external power supply? Or are you are looking for the external power supply as well? If you are looking for just the cord itself, they should be common item that you should be able to purchase and any appliance store.

If you are looking for the cord and the external power supply, there are many online outlets that you can look like ebay, etc. You need to search for a 15 Volt 4 amp universal power supply. I would recommend the universal power supply since it will come with multiple adapters plugs so you should be able to find the right one to fit your monitor. Also note the polarity of the the plug otherwise it might damage your monitor.

Heater blower stopped running. does the heater fuse/circuit breaker affect this?

yes most likely the problem, however i had the fan motor
go, and the fan switch go. start with the fuse then, motor. you can test motor by supplying power straight
after you unhook it using a 12v battery. You best bet is
to buy a manual at a local wall mart or canadian tire for
about 29.95 which will let you repair just about anything.

Can't get power cord

I assume this model comes with an external power supply- that is a package that plugs into the out let. you can buy at places like Wallmart a universal power supply, that has a variety of connectors and a switch to change the voltage. the connectors have a colour code and match the voltage slider which also has a colour patch. Take a look at the monitor to see if the operating voltage is mentioned- but is does not matter. what you do is take a connector- not plugged to the cord and fit it to the power inlet- you get several connector and only one will fit -the right one. Match the the colour to the voltage slide on the power pack and you are in business- well maybe - I bet first time it will not work That's OK simply unplug the connector from the cord and reverse the pins [reverse the polarity] come back
