My tablet wont turn on. The lock is not on. I have replaced the power chord. I have ordered a new battery. Does the battery have to work in order for the laptop to work?

The first thing to check for a tablet not turning on is the small sliding "padlock" switch next to the power button. If your computer is off and this sliding switch gets accidentally slid into the padlocked position, your computer will act 100% post mortem.

I misplaced the stylus for my M275 Gateway tablet, and the OEM replacement is way to pricey. Is there another brand/type that's compatible, or are they model specific?

here is a stylus for the m275 for $21.00

When I turn on M275 I get power light, hard drive

I have the same M275 tablet and was looking for a solution when I came across your post. I couldn't find a solution so I went over every nook and cranny of my tablet and found my hard drive was not completely pushed in. I pushed it in tried the power button again and it worked! I am shocked because my laptop has been down for a year now. I thought maybe it was a motherboard problem and it was junk. I'm so excited. Anyway all I can suggest is check that the hard drive on the right side is completely plugged/pushed in. I hope that works for you.

My Gateway m275 tablet will not charge or power up even with it plugged in

At least a 50% chance the power pin inside the computer has been damaged. Taking apart a laptop and getting it back together correctly is a tough job . . . .The part (the power pin) is not that expensive ($ 5-10) but the labor is expensive. If you don;t feel up to the task, have it fixed by a professional and after it''s fixed get a CRD (Cable Retention Device) to keep from damaging the pin a second time.

New m275

My guess is that they "can", but considering that this would not be a warranty repair, you'd probably end up paying WAY more than it's worth in labor and that's IF they'll even do it. They'll probably give you a hard time.
