    hi. Im tryin to fix gateway notebook series MX32xxm, with some strange issues.
    -Sometimes the power turns on but nothing appears on the screen.
    -I had a hard time finding a wireless driver since the sorfware is not available on the gateway website, and those drivers work but the monitor cant find any wireless connection. My router is working for sure, so, tthat is not the problem.
    -The notebook works perfectly...until y move it. Yes, if I lift it a little, move the screen or make some pressure in the hand support area (i dont know the technic name), the it freezes badly, and never comes back until I turn it off manually. Also, some times it freezes the screen appears pixelated or color-distorted, some thimes do not...and seems normal until you realiza it is screwed.

    Well.....To me it appears to be a problem of hardware clearly, and probably it was dissassembled before. But...the question is.....has somebody seen this problems in a notebook that has not been dissasembled?...could it be some manufacturing problem?.....or defective parts?

    i hope you have some comments. thanks!
