N7xlq1 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hey all, A friend of mine (same person who had the HP4410t I posted about in the win 7 forum) gave me a a Gateway ZX4300 all-in-on PC to fix, The symptoms were no screen, which I have comfirmed by powering up and their is no POST at all but I do hear the CD and fans spin I think. I have read and saw videos online that this particular model is notorious of having the black screen because of heat issues. I'm curious if anyone here messed with a gateway system with this similar problem and curious if it was a easy fix or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N7xlq1 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Here's a small update:Got the cover(s) off of it, and it was a pain to remove it, the fan on starts for a split second and stops. The heatsinkand CPU are hot to the touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The heatsinkand CPU are hot to the touch. Which fan? If the fans aren't spinning... that's obviously not good. Can you tell if the hard drive has any activity?

N7xlq1 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi Mr. President,As you can see by the image there is only one fan. The fan is at the top of Mobo, I just laided out this way.I'll check the HD, and see if I hear anything. There is one thing that I'm sort of concerned about is that there is no POST beeps..

Besttechie Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anyone have any thoughts on this video, before I do it?I don't like the idea of overheating stuff on purpose, but he does have a point: "What do you have to lose?" I'd just stress having some kind of backup (if you care about the data) just in case something goes terribly wrong. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
