Cool. More info, more things to try. I've got a brief time I can use this one then I have to head home. OK, so that card by the phone jack. Called Gateway again last night and this person had a few suggestions. One was to remove that. But, it has 2 screws and only one is accessible, so I couldn't take it out. They are sending a new power supply-thingy and I'll be installing it tomorrow. However, yesterday's problem was that it would hold power but not boot and just stay in the self-test mode that you get when just turning on the monitor and not the computer. Also it won't get even to the point where it recognizes a Windows ME start-up disc is in it. The pretty lights on the buttons come on but nothing inside knows the outside lights are on. Cat, you're right. WTF? Cathy, I just upgraded my 28kji8*&^%$ with a brand new 29kji8*&^%$. Nothing. OK. Time to print this out again and try the new suggestions. Thanks again, Rev, MrH, Cat, cootie, cathy, etc... I'll try and check in tomorrow if I can and see if there's any new suggestions. Or, if you see me on later tonight/early tomorrow I got my computer working again.

If you mess with a computer like a Gateway brand will they still honor the warrenty tho ?? Ya know...incase ya unscrew somethin and take sumthin out that's vital and get it all outa wack....like malpractice ? I know when I called Packard Bell few times fer help several years ago with my first computer the "first thing" the guy would asked me was......did I or anyone else take anything OFF the computer or did anyone attempt to. Had to answer that before they would even talk to me.....and the guy told me that was onea there big time no-no's with warrenty's. My pooter did that beep thing the other day....blank screen...then when I got it ta come on it said it couldn't find my screen saver file ta run. Heard if you don't have 'up to date new patches' downloaded yer pooter can fall victum to lot of problems corrupt files or virus's....that's what the guy comein over next week ta look at mine told me can cause em ta do that....dunno.....just a few thoughts here.

Ted - send the damn thing to me and I'll fix it. Mr Happy - whats wrong with the RAM you're giving away? Is it DDR 184 pin DIMM? (no I'm not gonna count the pins) I can see PC133/256 on it but not much else makes sense. Did you zap it? I'll show you my manboobs for it.... ;D domm

jonny, I did not mean that it is funny he won't be back online, I meant that it was funny that we are bantering back and forth about what he can do to fix his problem and he doesn't have a working computer for which to check these messages from. Quoting Him, he said: "So, I won't be online much til it's fixed" That is what I mean.

domm......that beep code page was interesting.....mine jus kept beeping several one after the other and the power button light wasn't on but it came on and was runnin after I messed with the button and of course a blank screen. It won't shut off alot of times and on/off button light is off but it is still runnin and gotta shut the power strip off. Got sum one comein out ta look at it next week that rebuilds, installs and works on pooters so hopefully he'll figure it out. I leave it on fer now....my anti-virus sticks alot and can't get mail or I get errors...wierd....they didn't have pooters when I went to school......Pam
