Well a virus could be doing that or some internal conflict between devices or adapters.

well on most computer the HD has its own display light. If it is messed up you can usually hear it clicking wierd or feel it and see if it is spinning. Something can often fry in a comp without any external evidence and the most likely thing to go is teh power supply. BTW dont buy another emachine. they are dangerous. My friend's caught on fire one day. it sucked anyways.

Search ebay for the model laptop that has the motherboard issue.  You might find someone that has one with a busted LCD display or someone selling the mother board.

Most often this is caused by a bad video cable or connector.  Try tighting the video cable connectors at both ends.  If that doesn't work try wiggling the cable which some times works if the cable is shorting out.  If that's the case or there is no improvement, try replacing the video cable if it has connectors at both ends.  If it's an older display screen, the video cable may come out of the display screen chassis as a cable with no connector to the display.  If that's the case, then you may be out of luck because you won't be able to replace the cable.  You could try checking for bent pins in the connectors also, but these are hard to fix.  Bottom line, it's probably your cable, tighten it down at the connectors to see if that helps, if not replace cable, if display is old and cable can't be replaced, time to buy a new display!  Good luck!

Check to make sure you dont have any recalls on that particular thing. Maybe you didn't put it in correctly. ummm maybe your laptop is not responding correctly to it because the unknown error is not effecting it. Just follow the error and keep doing what ya doing. have a nice day

Check the following\n->start -> control panal -> system  -> hardware tab at the top -> device manager . Now look at all the devices that are installed on you computer if any have a red cross or a yellow question mark then it is disabled or has a problem, if you find any double click on them to see what is wrong. If there is no problems in the device manager send it back to the computer store.

Check it out with another computer. There  you will come to know, if the problem is in your computer(i.e viruses) or in settings.

it could be because it is an old monitor. but there are many other reasons. bend prong, reverse pollaritys, has it been dropped, is it at room temperature, is there a lot of humitity

I've been buying gateway computers (desktops/laptops) since 1996. I think the main reason i got'em was b/c they looked better then Dells, HP's and so on. Each and every computer broke down within the first year more then once.\nParts like motherboard, ram, monitor or the fax / modem would be up for an exchange. My last gateway laptop came in with a broken\nRAM and gateway fought, not to return my money back in full withing the first 10 days of a purchase. They inicially charged me 15 % penalty b/c they send me a broken computer and I didn't not want to exchange for a new one. Shameful behaviour.\n\nMy advice is : Do not buy Gateway. \n\nHope this helps.

Your monitor isn't on or plugged in properly to the computer.

yup, first thing to do is check your connections.\n\nsecond, open yer desktop PC and check if the video card has been dislodged or something.\n\nthird, most monitors have compatibility issues with a certain desktops, and most monitors do show the same symptoms that you see right now, yellow LED instead of green.\n\nfourth, try using the monitor that came with the Gateway desktop, if that monitor works when you fire up both, that means yer HP monitor isn't compatible with yer Gateway desktop PC.
