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.

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/remove-hp-printer-glass-and-clean#post-634 Wed, 11 May 2011 21:30:17 +0000 sonygeek 634@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I have a HP PhotoSmart 2610 I would like to remove the glass for cleaning(underside is very dirty).
