How to Reset Gateway Laptop
To reset a Gateway laptop CMOS, use the jumper method. Shut down the laptop. Open the laptop up so there is access to the motherboard. Refer to the manual to find the CMOS jumper (3 pins near the battery). Move it from position 1-2 to 2-3, wait 5 minutes, and move it back. On some computers, CMOS must be reset by entering the BIOS menu upon startup.
