I took a look at the part numbers here. These sound like proprietary
numbers. The manufacture services these by board exchange. They don't
service these at the component level.

If you call in for a board, I think they will not sell to you directly.
They will tell you to bring or send the monitor to one of the factory
authorized service reps.

This flatscreen model GWT-P42M303 shorted the 15v and I isolated it to
pn 4921QP1002B. There are two of these driver hybrid thingees and one
is shorted but finding parts seems to be a problem. Any ideas?



Gateway does not even support out-of warranty repair. No factory service -
nothing. If you call them they'll tell you to try to find some local
service. Of course they don't sell parts or service literature, so "local
service" is virtually impossible. These companies should be put out of
business for these practices.
