I used this guide to disassemble my Gateway MT6728 and it was the same for the most part. I spilled iced tea inside and wanted to clean any residue to see if I could get it running again as it was dead after the spill. Still no luck, though. The symptoms are: Blue power button lights up, front LEDs light up, cooling fan runs, CD drive appears to spin or some other component makes a noise. Screen remains black/blank and can be shut down again by pressing the power button.

I let it dry initially, took everything apart, cleaned inside, reseated the ram, HD. Also tried to boot without HD, swapped the RAM in opposite slots, tried booting with/without battery still to no avail.

Any ideas?

In reply to Lisette. @ Lisette, I guess you are talking about the DC jack which is shown on the last picture of my guide. Correct? In order to fix the DC jack it's necessary to disassemble the laptop, remove the motherboard, and replace the DC jack (requires soldering). Can you do it yourself? If not, you'll have to take it to the repair shop.

Hello, so I tripped on the charger and the inside of the computer thing broke. Would I need Togo to a shop to have it repair? Or can I do it myself? It’s that thingy in the inside of the computer when you charge it that broke.

Thanks for these awesome guides! Just installed new power plug for Gateway MX6453. Only one screw different on the model. It has one less than yours, but everything is close enough that it works. Laptop running again. Thanks!

Can you explain in more detail about you made a modification to connect both traces after you removed the power jack? I have that same problem and I’m not sure how to do that.

Thanks,

Eric
