also let me add .. ebay is where i get all my parts for laptops ... you can
get a cable there and if in fact you do need the lcd , the numbers on the
back of the lcd itself is what you would search for on ebay as they use many
different screens in these models ...

vid board or motherboard cause this on the gateways ...

For the LCD display there is a display matrix circuit. This is usualy
an intergal part of the mother board, or is part of the display panel
itself. You should get in touch with the Gateway tech support and find
out what you need. Most likely they may not sell the parts to you, but
will ask you to ship them the computer for them to service it, or they
will send you to their authorised rep.
