Before calling Gateway Customer Care
If you have a technical problem with your computer, follow
these recommendations before contacting Gateway Customer
Care:
•
Make sure that your computer is connected correctly to
a grounded AC outlet that is supplying power. If you use
a surge protector, make sure that it is turned on.
•
If a peripheral device, such as a keyboard or mouse, does
not appear to work, make sure that all cables are
plugged in securely.
•
If you have recently installed hardware or software,
make sure that you have installed it according to the
instructions provided with it. If you did not purchase the
hardware or software from Gateway, see the
manufacturer’s documentation and technical support
resources.
•
If you have “how to” questions about using a program,
see:

available, along with a detailed description of your
problem, including the exact text of any error messages,
and the steps you have taken.

your call. The technician may have you follow
troubleshooting steps.
