It's a Gateway Solo 2550 (500MHz) with a missing T key. The problem seems to be hard-drive related but the root cause may be a fan; I heard odd fannish noises last time I tried booting. Safe Mode freezes after beginning to load an AGP driver, though, I think.
I can always take it apart and see if I can identify the problem; I just haven't had time recently. The next computer-related task at home is to set up Jodi's old PC on the dining room table and use it to scp her old files onto her laptop. (It's a Mac, so scp is a doddle.)
sorry, no parts for a gateway. it was a long shot, but i figured marshall's old toshiba is just sitting on a shelf waiting to be parted out. owel, it was worth a shot.
Well, I got no takers at $149 including shipping (it's a 1GB black nano, new in the box; that, plus tax, is the store price), so I guess I'll ask $139 and see who says yes.
