Hi, I am going to have to replace a dead cmos battery in a friends solo 2150 laptop. I have searched the net with no luck for disassembly instructions. I haven't got to see the laptop yet, but I would like to know what I am up against. Has anyone in this forum taken apart a 2150? Is it straight...

Hi Folks; I'm trying to see the POST process during startup, but I can't figure out how to display it on a new Gateway 4500D. I have an expansion card that has a boot BIOS, and I'd like to be able to see that process (it's a RAID card). Any assistance would be appreciated. David

Does anyone know where a flyback transformer (Sampo FEA-680) for a Destination 36" monitor can be found? I hate to think that I have a 200 pound door stop on my hands... Gateway does not stock parts for this monitor and neither does Princeton (the original manufacturer). This monitor is only 4...

A friend has a e-1400 (the desktop version - not the small factor/tower version) Gateway running Windows 2000 with what I think is the Lanai (intel SU810) motherboard and what WCPUID states is a Pentium 3 (833 MHz?) chip. She would like to put in a DVD drive/burner But, at the following Gateway...

We recently got a gateway fpd1520 (15" lcd flatscreen) monitor from ebay. It didn't have a power cord. It says it's a 12v dc 2.5a but it doesn't give the polarity. A person from gateway said he thought it wouldn't hurt the monitor if it got plugged in backwards but I'd rather not try it. Would...

We just got an hp pavilion F50 lcd monitor without a power adapter. (It's called a Tatung CLT-L50 but is supposed to be the same as the hp one). It has a round power socket with 4 holes and is a little larger than a ps/2 socket. The manual warns to not use anything but the original cord : ...

I have a 6 year old Solo 9100 XL which has a damaged screen. After opening the case I discovered the TFT LCD screen was manufactured by LG with a model number of LP141X2-B . I have found many sources which are selling new LG LP141X2 replacement screens. Are all LP141X2 screens interchangable? ...

I recently upgraded from WIN98SE to Winxp home with sp2. It didn't care for my firewall (Kerio freebee), so I suspended it. Someone suggested that the native firewall didn't do a great job of keeping my system from sending out. Any comment?

Win 95. Device manager sees the cd rom (Mitsumi yada) but it doesn't play. Don't hear anything running. All the connects are good? My other machine is a monster........

I gave up on the wireless router with a usb wireless adapter to the old gateway. I then tried to install a wireless pci card in ppace of the ethernet card. The pin config was somewhat different. When I fired up the rig it didn't find the card. In the mean time i removed the existing network...

Old GW p2 233 (to cel 466) with a clean install of win98se fitted with a Netgear wireless USB adapter (MA111). The host computer is wired to a Comcast cable modem and I recently upgraded this OS from 98se to WinXP home w/o problems. This is connected to a Netgear MA814 v2 router. The GW will see...

P2 233 class GW system, now with Cel 466,AllOX MB2,2 12Mb voodoo cards and an original Permedia 2 video card, 6.4g HD, ensoniq card. All this worked happily together many years, then, alas I grew up, left the things of my youth (I was about 52 then) and moved on to a custom box. I recently decided...

LITE-ON LTR 24102M CD-RW drive for sale used $15 In the GW P2 266 tower. The rounded, curved puppy with the pop off face plate? Would it run with Win95 OS2? I'm prepared to do a win98 fresh install.

Used cd rom for $5. Needed a start switch and they found one. I said how much. He said $2. I took out a twenty, because all I had was a twenty and a one. He took the $1 and said, next time... This must be the place where Compaqs go to die. Bins of MB's for a dollar each. Probably are dicey, but...

Just wonderin'........

I recently purchased a Gateway Destination XTV-450 with all the original components (with the exception of the DVD drive). The only problem is that the previous owner had installed Windows XP on it. I have reinstalled Windows 98 SE, and all of the drivers from Gateway's website, but I still need...
