Abeer,

I have a gateway laptop and several keys have popped of, and i lost the keys of the laptop. I was wondering if there is any place i could get the keys or send the laptop to get repaired.

Edward,

I have a Gateway MX 3225 and it was completely disassembled. On the re-installation of the components, all went back “cosmetically”great, however the keyboard and LCD monitor are not functioning at all. The video Card is heating up and the fan is turning on, but no display and nothing from the keyboard. Any similar situations or suggestions to fix this ????

There is no way I can give you a good advice without looking at the laptop. Make sure all components are seated and connected correctly.
Disassemble the laptop to bare bone system – motherboard, CPU, memory. Start installing components one by one and try turning it on after each step.
