The Blue screen of death and all the fixens. I thought my hard drive finally failed until I was reviewing different pages and sites with others who were having the same difficulty with blue screens and all the while, only the CMOS battery had gone 'flat'. I've searched for schematics of my model Gateway, even so far as contacting Gateway support only to be told since I was no longer under warranty I would be considered a "pay for help" consumer. To hell with that....can anyone please help me with a detailed written "walk through" of how this particular task is performed? Better still, I would truly appreciate a video of "how to" do this task. Thanks for the consideration.<br /> Crissanne </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/lcd-show-negative-image#post-657 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 01:38:11 +0000 keytas 657@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>Hello</p> <p>My laptop show al the images at negative like a negative photo, as the letters and all the logos etc.<br /> I have already change the inverter but still the same.

Two of them are Steam powered, one is E/A. I have tried everything the game Mfg. have suggested from deleating files to reinstalling a new Driver for PhysX. I am running Vista, with a ATI Radin card. Can someone help me with this PhysX problem?

Depending on how good you are with repairs you can try to find the proper inverter for your LCD and do the repair yourself, but it's probably better to just buy a new monitor. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/monior-turns-on-for-a-few-mjnutes-then-goes-dark#post-641 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:39:20 +0000 robert 641@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>i have a LCD SONY monitor on a HP tower and when I turn computer on the monitor comes on but I notice monitor getting brighter then goes totally dark even though I can still see image in background. Then when I turn monitor on &amp; off I'll come back on but only for a couple of seconds then goes dark again. Then some times it works o.k. Can any one help me with this problem? </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/changing-cmos-battery-behind-board#post-636 Fri, 13 May 2011 12:40:40 +0000 Jertoons 636@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>ADAM, thanks-- it looked like this would have to be removed. But I, myself, have never removed or installed a board of any kind -- so I didn't wanna start "messing around" unless it is really necessary. I appreciate your help. Will let you know how I make out.

Basically, I would just start advertising your computer services in your local paper, Facebook, etc.. and do on-site repairs only. Once you've gathered enough clients being an on-site tech then it is a lot easier to then find a location to rent and open shop.</p> <p>I am not aware are any website that can help you out in this matter. It's like starting any business; do your research before you start your business. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/changing-cmos-battery-behind-board#post-629 Sat, 07 May 2011 00:13:53 +0000 Adam 629@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>Thanks for telling me the model of your computer. It really helps me to give better advice.</p> <p>On your specific board you will have to remove the video card to get full access to your BIOS battery. Once you've removed your video card then you will see that there is a clip that you need to press and then your battery will just fall out. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/just-starting#post-628 Fri, 06 May 2011 21:04:20 +0000 jakecee 628@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>i know my fair share about pc repair ect and laptops and i was wondering how i could get a business started any sites that i can look at or apply for ? </p> <p>cheers guys </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/changing-cmos-battery-behind-board#post-627 Fri, 06 May 2011 16:00:13 +0000 Jertoons 627@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I watched your video about changing the CR2032 battery -- but my battery is BEHIND the reddish board -- half of the battery is above and half below (not in "open territory" like you show). Is there a way to maneuver this battery out or will I have to somehow remove this graphics card (the cable for the monitor is what plugs into this board which transects the battery)?</p> <p>Thanks very much for any reply. The computer is a Gateway FX6800-01e -- the first FX on the shelves a few years ago. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/new-cpu#post-626 Thu, 05 May 2011 04:24:03 +0000 Adam 626@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I'm glad your here. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/dvd-shuts-down-laptop#post-625 Thu, 05 May 2011 04:23:26 +0000 Adam 625@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I need more information about this problem before I can diagnose it.</p> <p>At what point does the laptop restart?</p> <p>Also, have you removed the DVD from your drive?</p> <p>Let me know, thanks. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/new-cpu#post-619 Tue, 03 May 2011 10:37:57 +0000 Anonymous 619@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>Hello, Every one!!<br /> I am new to this forum community, I am very glad to join this community and I want to share my ideas and knowledge with the forum members and increase my knowledge,<br /> Thanks </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/dvd-shuts-down-laptop#post-618 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:08:31 +0000 len 618@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I loaded a formatted blank DVD disk in my laptop and the computer shuts-down and reboots the system.

It could be that your hard drive is failing or your Windows OS is corrupted. If your hard drive is failing then you'll need to get a new hard drive and maybe you can ghost the failing hard drive to the new one.</p> <p>If your OS is corrupted then you can do a Windows repair and hopefully you'll be back in business.</p> <p>Those are some good places to start. </p>
