Gateway 7320GZ Notebook Logo
Posted on Dec 31, 2008

Unable to turn on my labtop (gateway 7326GZ) computer.

The power button is not engaging. The button appears to be broken. Is there any way other than pushing the power button to turn on my computer?
Can power button be fixed? Please advise.

    I had this same problem. I removed the power push button and use a tooth pick to push the on/off switch

The real button is under the button you see. You might be able to get the keyboard cover off. If it's not broken broken you could try to reseat it. The part unless you find a cheaper source is 149.00 (which frankly is ridiculous)

My Gataway labtop is with the black sreen, how do I reboot it?

You may turn off the computer using the power button, then turn it back on using the power button. Under normal circumstances, turning the computer off by pressing the power button is not the optimal choice. But under your circumstances, it is an acceptable option.

I hope this was helpful.
