Move your notebook away from sources of electrical interference, such as 
televisions, unshielded speakers, microwaves, fluorescent lights, and metal 
beams or shelves.
The display has pixels that are always dark or too bright
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in 
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to 
a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense 
on your display, contact Gateway Technical Support to identify whether 
a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
