Gateway Notebook Repair - Part 1
 
Head over to the Sense section for the Digital Scoop on disassembly of the Gateway 3000/M210 series notebook.  I obtained this one from a family member who thought it was thirsty and needed some rum and cola.  Basically, after tearing the whole thing apart, I discovered a shorted power switch and carbonized DC power jack board.  Hopefully the motherboard is still salvageable.  Parts are on order from the great eBay.  I have assembled and repaired dozens of desktops.  This will be a first.
