Questions & Comments
It does and I have already stated in the discripti on its a gateway laptop.
I can assure everyone the laptop does work..you might have to press the button a little longer to turn on and hat is because the button had gotten stuck after accidentally dropping it when I forgot to zip my backpack up. I would not have kept the laptop if it didn't work and being close to the end of the auction it won't let me add another picture anyways.
If it is resetting date and time, it needs a new bios clock battery on the Motherboard as you mentioned to another Listian. That is a simple fix. Some laptops have a fan setting feature within the bios when you boot to bios or, u may just need to put it on a laptop cooler. Laptops can get notoriously hot as we all know. Another fix could be removing the heatsync/fan off of the processor, cleaning off, and replacing the thermal paste between the heatsync and processor with a higher performance thermal paste. This requires a bit more work than replacing the battery but, it could help along with removing any dust inside trapped between the heatsync and fan and where it exhausts out if there is any. :)
