    I have a Gateway model mx7118. I can't push the power button anymore to turn the computer on or off. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what did you do to fix it? I want to fix the computer myself.

    I don't have a gateway, but I believe you power button is physically damaged. looks like you will have no choice but send it in to fix.
