Gateway Plasma won't turn on

You may have already done this, but remember many laptops require that you remove the battery for about 30 sec. as
well as disconnect the AC power to reset them.
Always try this when everything appears completely dead.

before checking ur mother board check for ur operating system.

check your power supply...

There is a problem with cracked solder on the y sustain power lead leading to the y sustain board. You can fix it if you are handy with soldering. 4 out of 5 pins on mine had cracked solder allowing arching.

Your powerboard is damaged, and need to be replaced.

Sometimes it appear the TV is working again with no problem but it is only a matter of time for the board to get completely damaged.

Try Pushing together the body of monitor in middle top areaWhere the Word gateway is Imprinted ,Loose connection on ribbion probably,on mine ,but I think I got LUCKY here honestly,


Just try it before disassembly

Try a power drain and if this doesn't work, it appears the power supply is defective or is not connected to the mainboard. If the connection was poor, simply moving it may have dislodged it and service would be required to reconnect it. Try the power drain first:


1. Unplug the product's power cable so that the device is not grounded to the house. Do not simply turn off the power-bar if one is in use.
2. Press and hold in the products power button for 1 minute to release the retained electricity from the capacitors and circuit board. 3. Plug the product back into the wall outlet rather than a power-bar to rule it out of contributing to the problem and turn the device back on.
Hope this works for you.
