Would you want to purchase one of these? Or parts from one? Mine has a bad DC jack and I can't repair it. Tried to. Didn't work. email me at jbelljosh@gmail.com
Would you want to purchase one of these Gateway Laptops - W350? Mine needs a DC jack repair. It melted the motherboard, not badly, but I couldn't solder it back on. I gave up on it. jbelljosh@gmail.com is my address if you are interested or know someone who is.
