Although Lenovo acquired IBM's very successful personal computing business in 2005, the quality of the personal computing products has not decreased under the new ownership. Despite Lenovo's reputation for producing high-quality laptops and desktops, hardware problems and failures do occur even with replacement parts. However, using guidance provided by Lenovo, it is possible to diagnose many hardware problems without contacting Lenovo customer support.

Things You'll Need

Lenovo replacement battery
Multimeter

1. Shut down the Lenovo laptop.
2. Disconnect the battery from the Lenovo laptop.
3. Measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 and 7 by connecting the multimeter's positive lead to terminal 1 and the negative lead to terminal 7. If the battery shows a voltage of less than 11 volts, charge the battery. If the voltage is still less than 11 volts after charging, the battery should be replaced.
4. Measure the resistance between battery terminals 5 and 7 using the multimeter. Connect the multimeter's positive lead to terminal 5 and the negative lead to terminal 7. If the resistance is not between 4 and 30 kilo ohms, the battery should be replaced. If the resistance is correct and the battery still does not charge, replace the system board.

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen on your Gateway laptop is an expensive and important component of this computer. Needless to say, it can be devastating if this screen becomes cracked or damaged. But if you don´t have the money to take your Gateway to a service technician, you can actually remove and replace it yourself, and you don´t need to be an electronics expert to do it.

Things You'll Need

Small flat-head screwdriver
Phillips screwdriver

Instructions

1. Turn your Gateway laptop off and remove the AC power cable. Then slide the battery latch on the bottom of your computer to the unlock position and slide the battery out of its bay.
2. Insert the tip of your small flat-head screwdriver just underneath the plastic hinge covers located on either corner of your laptop, just underneath the screen. Gently pry up to pop them off.
3. Use the tip of your small flat-head screwdriver to pop the rubber screw covers off the top of each of the screws located on the top and bottom of the screen bezel (plastic frame around the LCD screen). Then use your Phillips screwdriver to remove all of the screws on the bezel.
4. Use your fingers to separate the bezel from the metal screen mounting bracket by gently prying the bezel up from the corners of the screen. Once it's completely removed, set the bezel aside.
5. Locate the green inverter board just under the LCD screen and unplug the backlight cable that connects at the right side of the inverter board.
6. Remove all screws from the sides of the metal screen mounting bracket (metal housing the screen fits into) and the hinges on the bottom corners of the screen.
7. Grip the cracked LCD screen itself by the corners and gently pull it toward you about three inches to expose the back of the screen. Be careful because the screen is still connected to the computer via a ribbon cable. Use your fingers to unplug this ribbon cable where it attaches in the middle of the back of the LCD screen.
8. Slide the cracked LCD screen from the metal housing brackets and set it aside. Replace it with a new screen (available from your Gateway retailer or online) and reassemble your laptop in the reverse order you took it apart.

How to Care Your Gateway W32066LD Laptop Battery?

A new Gateway Laptop Battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the devices manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the digital camcorder Gateway W32066LD battery may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. New Laptop Battery needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused. Always store a Laptop Battery pack in a fully charged staged for storage. When charging the Gateway W32066LD battery for the first time the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Remove the camcorder batteries from the device, reinsert it and repeat the charging procedure

It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the Gateway W32066LD battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run the device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual. If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that Gateway W32066LD battery be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.

Invest in a good charger for your camcorder. Ni-MH batteries should not be charged in a NiCad charger, unless the charger is specifically made for both chemistries. There are cheap chargers and there are expensive chargers. Make sure the charger you get has good reviews and is well made. Chargers with micro-controller chips are usually the best choice of your digital camcorder.

Be sure to store your Laptop Battery properly. Do not leave your batteries in a hot car, or in humid conditions. The best storage conditions are a cool, dry place. The refrigerator is fine if you stick in a packet of silica gel with your Gateway W32066LD battery in a sealed bag to keep them dry. It is a good idea to charge your NiCad or Ni-MH batteries fully before use if they have been in storage.

How Can I Maximize the performance of My Gateway Laptop Battery?

There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your Laptop Batteries:

Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the Laptop Battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Keep the Laptop Battery Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.

Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If an Laptop Battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.

Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the Laptop Battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.
