Just started on a Gateway 1960, dead.
Really miserable to disassemble. Screws on the back at the bottom, dunno why, 'cause you could drop this from the Eiffel tower and the back wouldn't separate from the bezel...
OK, pried apart the back and bezel, thought for sure I'd break clips, POP POP CRACK! nope, clips all intact.
Six screws holding the panel to the back. Go to lift the panel, and the electronics "cage" is screwed to the back, and a bunch of cables run to the panel.
2 of the CCFL connectors are on cables soldered to the board to get the extra length required for not having the cage on the panel... Oy.
I get the panel separated, unscrew the cage top, and get the ps/inverter board out. Much to no-one's surprse, it's a Samxon GF Bloat-party inside.
Should be a bunch of caps and some soldering.
