A method you can try if you don't have a password reset software is by removing the CMOS battery. Remove the CMOS battery then turn the computer on. The system BIOS will be reset and password will be removed. Then you can put the battery back in. Click on this link for the Gateway ML6230 Notebook PC Manual. Check page 36 for CMOS battery removal instructions.

All you need to do is be sure whu will need to replace both.
If the problem is with either the charger/battery you will need to figure that out first.
Please have the battery charged of your laptop, and try using the laptop only with the battery and without the charger, If it works fine you will have to check the charger now.
In order to check the charger, please take out the battery from the laptop, now connect your charger to the laptop and try switching on the laptop. If it does not work then your charger is faulty.
You can purchase the accessories online at various portals. I am providing one of the portal information:
First check the voltage output of the charger(adapter) and match it with its specs.
Also try to reset the hardware using the following steps:
1 Disconnect battery and the charger 2 Let it sit for 1-2 minutes. 3 Press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds. 4 Reconnect battery and charger and try to start by pressing the power button.
Ezra,
It could be:
1. Dead battery due to faulty Charger. Check the voltage of the charger output. Replace if dead.
2. Dead battery NOT because of charger. You can check it by plugging into the wall socket. Replace if found dead.
3. Faulty power jack on the laptop. Replace it if battery is fine.
4. Faulty power on switch. Needs a replacement.
5. Fault ahead of the switch, then need a professional job.
first you would try the least expensive
make sure your ac adpater works
the plug could be bad on the end
next is the pin inside the dc jack where you plug it in, if the pin moves just a little , you may need a new dc jack sold on ebay cheap
make sure the battery is out when testing
