gateway power on but screen stay black
power light come on but the screen stay black
“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.

That worked for me. Thank you so much I can't believe it was that simple. Very appreciative ❤️
I don't know whether to to kiss you or punch my laptop first. You're amazing! Thanks!
It didn't work for me!!!, 🤨😭😒😠🤬
Unfortunately, my F1 is a "Zzz" button. Still tried it, but nope.
I was on my computer and than the screen went blank but shows it’s on so I’ve tried everything in the last 3 hours and it still hasn’t worked
Take the memory out. Mine did the same thing.

Are you saying to replace it ? Or just take it out and try to start it?
The idea is to reseat the memory module(s) i.e. remove/replace, in case it is a faulty connection between the memory module and the motherboard preventing the laptop from passing POST.
Be sure to disconnect or remove the laptop's battery before removing/replacing the module(s) to avoid damaging them electrically.
3 possiblities:
1-bad ram module
2-remove ALL power supply to unit. Battery, power cord. Push and hold power button for 60 seconds. Try it now.
3-bad inverter board or backlight bulb.
