    Gateway FPD2485W won't turn on

    Greetings,

    I have a Gateway FPD2485W that does not power on. when plugged in, the power light doesn't even glow, it is simply dead. I've replaced all the caps on the power supply and the 2 on the inverter board, but this hasn't made any difference. Does anybody have any ideas? I'm sort of a novice when it comes to component level repair, so any suggestions would be great!

    Thanks

      First, are you sure you have the flat flexible cable installed correctly from the logic board to the front panel switch?
      Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

          The standard procedure here is to post clear focused pictures of all your boards (top down view) using the manage attachments functions so the pictures are attached to this forum. Please do not post inline because it slows down the loading of pages.

          After you have posted the pictures using manage attachments, we can suggest test points.
          --- begin sig file ---

          If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

          We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

          Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

              MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX (MS-16R6) LAPTOP WON'T TURN ON AFTER RESTARTING
              by RdeveLabs
              To all the members here...

              Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.

              So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off. But...

              Acer Aspire 4520 won't turn on after reboot
              by robante15
              Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 4520 from a couple of decades ago and I want to repair it solely for nostalgia.

              It happens that when I turn it on after having been disconnected for a long time, it turns on without problems, it tells me that the BIOS has been reset and that it will load the factory settings, if I tell it to continue, the computer turns on and everything works fine.

              The moment I turn it off and want to turn it back on a second time, or restart it and try to start it again, it no longer gives an image, and it no longer responds.

              If I remove the...

              Dell latitude e7470 not turn on .power buton on off and Run Power problem
              by masoksian
              Hi everyone,

              I am dealing with the problem of turning on and off my Dell e7470 notebook.

              The battery charge light is solid white, I press the button, the power indicator and the light on the button are solid for 1-2 seconds and immediately turn off.

              The system does not turn on, there is no post.

              I removed the RAMs and changed them, changed the battery, RTC battery, AC adapter, removed them and waited, tried again, it does not turn on.
              The problem continues in the same way.
              I tried to turn on the Fn key, nothing came to the screen....
