Gateway FPD2485W goes nuts, cuts off

04-30-2010, 12:37 PM

Hello,
I have a Gateway FPD2485W.
When it's turned on, the logo and the gateway music strum happen but then all the touch tab buttons on the side start blinking erratically. Different menu windows also flash in the lower right corner. The display is dim and rippled. Then it cuts off, the start button turns purple. It has to be unplugged to be restarted, only to repeat these symptoms.
Thanks for your help.

Open it up first and check capacitors in power supply board. You probably will find them bloated.

Gateway P5WS0/NV57H58u laptop (P5WEO LA-6901P REV:2.0) - (Possible) Multiple Issues

by Dan John

Greetings everyone,

I have a Gateway P5WS0/NV57H58u laptop (P5WEO LA-6901P REV:2.0). The client said the battery was not charging. Upon checking the laptop,

1) On pressing the power button, the (power button) light turns on and stays on.
2) There is no boot, or anything on the screen.
3) The fan starts and stops a few times, then it stops completely.
4) The light on the power button remains on.
5) Battery not charging (original issue).

The original problem was that the battery was not charging, but the laptop still worked. My belief...
