Gateway parts into Emachines - Can this work? My Gateway 5-7 years old) died.

Would i be able to use an old hp computer for parts on a reletively old gateway?See details...? I just got a hold of this old hp.It only has a 4.3gb hard drive and 64mb of sdram,so im thinking its pretty much useless.I was wondering if i could use the ram for my girlfriends gateway.It too is also old,around 2004 or so.It has a 69gb drive with 39.2gb free.It has 248mb of ram.Also,it has windows xp.But,it needs RAM in a MAJOR way,and neither one of us have the spare cash laying around for it.I cant run more than one or two programs without it jambing up,AND/OR crashing.Especially programs like lime,adaware,ccleaner or any media players etc...Another problem i have is our internet(dsl).. every time we turn around we cant get on because we get the..."page cant be displayed" crap with IE,and nothing happens with firefox.(blank)So we have to restart the machine all the time.Anyways,could i do it,and would it help?Also,how could i utilize the old hard drive to work like an external for misc. storage,or something like that?ANY spare parts for that matter,like the ethernet card?thanks I must tell you,i have absolutely no software with this hp,so any part switching i do,im probably gonna have to download any software,drivers,patches, and what not,right?Usually it can find it somewhere free and legal anyways.Now back on track....I dont think the ethernet card works on my girlfriends comp. either.I have to use a slower,more problematic usb cable.Its not the ethernet cable thats not working,i bought a brand new one,still nothing.The dsl modem is reletively new also so i dont think its that.Besides,ethernet never worked from the day we recieved the modem from verizon....So yeah,verizon tech support and i have tried just about everthing to get it working...Nothing...So switching that card out is at least possible right?Thanks again!!

What is the psychology behind a gateway drug? Is it a matter of self respect? What CHEMICALS, including the legal and naturally occurring chemicals and not limited to the governments' (global) definition of the word "drug" would/could be considered a base gateway. Premise: "Drug" has a certain taboo associated with the name because of society and culture. The idiom of drugs has been perceived with positive and negative connotations which vary from person to person. Assuming that any chemical (water is a chemical) could have this taboo as part of it definition (ie placebo), how would consuming this substance prime the "gateway" part of the mind for acceptance of the next gateway chemical. Keep in mind the chemical does not have to be chemically or psychologically addictive or even addictive at all. Also, the term "drug" should be extended to include any action that could illicit an autonomic response (ie bungee jumping, shopping, sex, balancing your check book, watching TV) in a positive or negative way.

Has anyone ever ordered a laptop from Gateway and had it take forever to arrive? I'm going on half a month now. They keep telling me they don't have parts, but can't give me an ETA.

I emailed them and they gave me an ETA of Feb 26th! Ugh!

What kind of Hard Drive would I be able to put in this Gateway? I just bought this laptop at Best Buy (Gateway Notebook with Mobile AMD Sempron™ Processor 3100+). It came with 512mb of RAM, which I have upgraded to 2gb. I was looking to increase the hard drive. Right now it is 80gb. How large of a hard drive would this computer be able to handle? 120gb? 160? Also, if I were to upgrade the hard drive, what kind of hard drive would I look for? Usually I buy parts for upgrade on eBay....what would I search for? If that is not a good place to buy it, can someone direct me somewhere else? Best answer gets the 10 points. Thanks.

How can I tell if my computer is able to be upgraded by exchanging parts? I have the Gateway One ZX4800-02. It's an all-in-one computer so the computer is built in to the monitor.

Need help finding part for gateway laptop.? I have a Gateway MT6707 laptop that I pulled apart to fix a power supply problem. When I pulled the thing apart one of the wires going to what I'm pretty sure is the wireless card broke off and I cant re solder it back on. I've been trying to find a new one but I'm having a bit of trouble picking the right one. I've found a few websites that have cards with the same part number I'm finding on mine 27MA3WLTA27, the only thing is they list a ton of other gateway laptops and not mine the MT6707. There are a bunch for the MX series that are only around $37, I did find one sight that actually says its for the MT6707 but its $59. Does anyone know if there is a difference between the wireless cards or are they the same since they have the same part #? any help would be much appreciated.

Did Gateway breach warranty contract? I bought a tablet from Gateway January '08. It arrived defective and I was told to stop using it and send it in immediately for service. After three months of being ignored, insulted, drug through the mud, etc by GW customer and technical support, I filed a dispute with my cc company for Service not Provided. By June, the tablet had FINALLY been deemed irrepairable, after four rounds of 1) fraudulent 2) fix only 1 of 2 problems then 3) send it back BROKEN and 4) taking six weeks to do anything repair service. GW finally offered me a replacement in July, and about two weeks later my cc company agreed that I had been treated inexcusibly and they awarded me a credit for the service. Four months later, the Replacement needed a minor repair (plugging the LCD cable back in). Gateway said the part was on backorder. After two months I get an offer of a replacement with a regular notebook, not even the same kind of equipment I paid for. I refused it. Then they called back demanding my proof of purchase. Gateway does not provide a proof of purchase for replacement equipment!!! Gateway immediately called me a fraud, called me a liar, bullied me, and gave me no time to prove the tablet was mine (and REFUSED offers of immediate payment 3 times!) and had my tablet disassembled for parts. They tell me I was lucky they had the tablet in their possession because I escaped without them filing criminal charges against me and having me arrested. They claim that when one buys a product from them that is all one gets. Their service is not bought, therefore I was not protected by my cc contract, so they say the credit for service what I got was actually a REFUND for the PRODUCT (which I never wanted! I wanted it fixed or replaced! and besides I never owed Gateway a cent! my bill was with my credit card!). Gateway says the service I disputed about was not bought, therefore they are not liable, and that any fraudulent repair trips were an 'act of God'. They claim they are not liable for lost time or money lost due to inexcusible lengths of time the system is unusable. But I was checking my limited warranty and it specifically lists that technical support is part of what I paid for, and that the repairs were to have been done with as-new or like-new replacement parts and 'in a professional and workmanlike manner'. Well, lying about the system being in as-new condition, refusing to fix it (in 7:44am out 7:45am), only fixing half the problem and returning it with the other half WORSE, and then BREAKING it, and then holding it for an excessive length of time after having sent a defective product in the first play... that is neither professional or workmanlike. The warranty specifically states that the product would be free of defects at all times during the coverage period. Has Gateway breached the warranty contract? What are my legal options? What can I do to get my product replaced since they have destroyed it?

we are looking to upgrade our two laptops one is an e-machine from gateway the other is a toshiba? Our question is how do we go about doing this we would rather know how to do it our self and what is the difference between mb, gb, and kb is. And what the memory capability of each is. Right now for the most part the computers are used to download games that have lots of accessories, and tend to be really slow we were told that by upgrading the memory this problem would improve. Sim2 we already have two expansion packs and we want four more to add to our enjoyment of the game. And still be able to use the laptops for reasearch papers for school. We also have lots of music on the computers for the kids to listen to on long trips. I would like to know how much memory you all would recommend to do this with out having the computer go too slow.

Is my Gateway notebook badly damaged? I heard a crackling sound in my charger. It turns out one part of my charger is so bent, the rubber is cut off and you can see the metal wiring all bent. Obviously I am not using the computer anymore. Do you think this only damaged my charger or my computer? P.S Lately, my computer has been turning off by itself, and sometimes it does not turn on.

Routing if your own ip address the default gateway in windows xp? Hi I have two laptops running windows XP A & B which can ping each other just fine if i assign them the following ip addresses. They are connected via crossover cable. A: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 B: 192.168.0.2 Subnet 255.255.255.0 However If i change the ip & subnet of B to B: 192.168.1.2 Subnet: 255.255.0.0 Ping from A ----> B gives an expected and immediate Desination host unreachable Ping from B ----> A gives me a Request Timed out since B succesfully sends the ping to A but A cannot route the pong back to B Now here is the weird part ... If I add the ip of A as the default gateway for A now B can ping A successfully and A can now route the pong back to B. WHY WHY WHY ?? Since all packets sent by A to A's ip address are sent back via loopback , I dont understand why adding it as a default gateway should allow the pong to reach the wire ?? Im not asking how to fix this problem but putting them in the same subnet. I realise they are in different subnets where one is subnet is a subset of the other. My question is why does adding the default gateway as "itself" allow the smaller subnet to be able to route packets to the larger subnet. Since all packets sent to itself are sent to loopback and never should show up on the wire. I dont know if this behaviour is OS specific..im running windows XP on both machines thats a "by" not a "but" in the above details..sorry for the typo
