“Blank/Black Screen” on a Gateway Laptop
Ridiculous problem.

Simple fix.

This works 90% of the time.
Turn on Laptop. The tiny blue light means it’s on.

Top left corner of the keyboard.

The button next to “Esc”.

Labeled “LCD” - Better known as “F1”.

Press it.

All good?

I hope it was that simple.
I also hope someone at Gateway does the company a favor and removes that button.
