Clean the keyboard by using an aerosol can of air with

notebook and unplug the keyboard. Clean the keyboard

The Media Center video display looks bad on your TV
Many factors, such as the display type, quality of the video
source, type of connection used, quality of video cables,
display device screen resolution, size of TV, age of the TV, or
the type of TV (interlaced or progressive scan), can affect the
video quality significantly:
•
Display type —The Media Center is best viewed on
display devices that were offered with the Media Center
computer when you purchased it from Gateway. Other
types of display devices, including retail TVs, may
provide lower quality video. If you did not order a
display device when you purchased your Media Center
computer, a progressive scan display device with a VGA
input is the best choice.
•
Type of connection used —You can connect the Media
Center computer video output to a TV. However, the
connection type has an affect on the video quality. The
Media Center has a VGA video output. If your TV
includes a VGA port, connect the VGA cable from the
Media Center computer’s VGA (monitor) port to the TV’s
VGA In port for the best quality. Many TVs do not have
a VGA port.
•
Quality of video cables —Poor quality or the incorrect
type of video cables can cause problems and affect the
video quality. Gateway recommends using high-quality
video cables that can be purchased from the Gateway
Accessory Store.
