I don't know why I am updating this but I just thought about it recently and it got me all spun up again. Gateway is useless. My NX570XL mobo failed when it was 1 1/2 years old and already Gateway was out of mobos. You couldn't even...

Same thing with my NX570XL. It has to be the MoBo. But mine is out of warranty. Less than 2 years old but it's toast. Not sure yet if I will spring for a new MoBo... or just get another laptop... made by someone other than Gateway.

I got carried away during my lunch break and came home and took the whole thing apart. I didn't have time for pictures. I am actually considering ordering a new MoBo. It's a lot of $$ but not as much as a comparable new system. First I...

My NX 570 XL is doing the exact same thing. I tried resetting the RAM, no help. Power light comes on, fan comes on, HD makes healthy sound, a couple LEDs flash (A and 1) then nothing. Totally black screen, no POST, nothing. It was...

You're welcome. Interesting that I just found a review of the same product on Amazon.com that said his battery had lasted.... drum roll please... 2 months. Pretty consistent anyway. Quote: Originally Posted by...

I have a GW NX570XL notebook that I am fairly happy with now. It's about a year old and Vista and video driver issues are finally disappearing after the many updates. I have a 4GB PNY SDHC card from my camera but the NX570XL SD card...
