FAQ's:
Q: Does this video apply to my issues?
A: This video is for computers with no signs of life that appear 'dead'. It will also help if you see minimal signs of life such as lights only or some hard drive / fan sounds but they stop right a way. If you are able to see anything on the screen at any point or if the hard drive / fan sound remain on, your issue could be something else. Leave me a message with your exact symptoms and I can direct you to the correct video :)
Q: I have tried all the steps seen here without identifying the issue :(
A: If, after all these steps, you have not been able to find the issue, your most likely looking at a faulty component preventing the motherboard from working or a motherboard issue. I would start troubleshooting each component, starting with the charger and power jack. You can see those two videos here; • How To Test your Lapto... & • How to Fix Test Your H... . You can also try replacing other components like your Power Button to see if that is the route cause. If none of those are the issue, you would then be left with a motherboard replacement.
Q: The computer will only turn on when the charger is plugged in.
A: If your computer will only turn on when the charger is plugged in after all these steps, then I would next try to replace the battery as its most likely bad. Let me know if you would like assistance finding a compatible battery replacement :)

    hello, have a question regarding replacing keycaps, have seen several of your older videos and i followed, but for some reason when i tap on the upper half part of the key, the lower half of the key just snaps back up. the metal hooks in the keyboard doesn't seem to be broken either, so i'm very confused as to why its loose. do you perhaps have any idea?

    If the key assembly is not installing correctly, its either due to a component being damaged and needing to be replaced or a component not being orientated correctly. I would disassemble the key as seen here in this video and inspect for damage. If there is no damage, install the key. If there is damage, replace the key. Would you like help locating a key? If so, what is the brand and model for your computer?

    Sounds like your on the correct video. Have you tried the steps seen here? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

    @@PC_Monkey Thank you for replying. Yes i have done these steps and i still repeat them but no change. My laptop never had any serious overheating issues but was a bit warm when i last was using it. No liquid nor any other issues. Laptop was working fine for 7 hours while i was transferring files but after unplugging it, laptop indicated low battery light and shut off. It shows no signs of life now

    Hello, can you assist me with some issues I am having with my gateway computer. My problem is that when ever I turn it on it is always on the start up gateway icon and never loads anything else. Another problem i have is that whenever I have my charger unplugged even for a second it shuts off. (I don't know why that is too) I don't know what to do pls help.

    If your computer turns off when unplugged, it could be a sign of a bad battery. Have you tried replacing the battery? What % is it showing? For a Gateway stuck on the startup screen, can you try the steps seen here? kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZaNtbGlqqvZgNo.html
