    Hello all again. So I have another question. I have finally gotten the recovery disks on my notebook! Yay! I registered it with emachines/gateway no problems. I didn't ask them about the warranty replacement, but I will ask them about that later. So the question I have is; my power button is gone. I can turn it on by touching it with a toothpick, but the button itself has gone missing. I have looked around, the link below shows what the notebook looks like:
    http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Gateway/7305GZ/4201ivr52.shtml

    Anyone know where I can buy a button for cheap? Or a similar replacement, even if it doesn't 'officially' work on the 7415gx. The Uniwill looks like it has a button that would work, but the only things I can find on ebay, etc, are the entire top panel, for like 30-40 bucks. Anyone have a power button sitting around for cheap? :)

    Yeah...emachines would fit, also look for the ARIMA model number for your laptop. It should be the ARIMA W730-K8 (I had a MX7515, very similar to yours).
    Good luck.
