Gateway MA7 Laptop for Parts or Repair
This is a Gateway Laptop, model MA7. It has a 15.4″ LCD display and comes with Windows Vista Home Premium pre installed with the recovery disks included.

As far as ports, you have a mic and headphone jack in front, 4 USB ports, a firewire port, an RJ11 and RJ45 connection, A VGA and SVideo out, a ( I believe) 5 in 1 media reader, and the expansion slot.

He said his soldering was sloppy and the new port doesn’t work. I’m not sure if he damaged the motherboard when he tried to fix it or not. It could be fixable with another dc power port and someone who knows how to solder, or he might have ruined it. I didn’t look at the motherboard myself, so I can’t tell you. If you can get the DC power port fixed, this will be a great laptop. I included the AC/DC converter, and I can tell you that that at least works. I will wipe and reinstall Vista Home Premium before shipping. The included battery is a model 3UR18650F-2-QC-MA1. When fully charged this only lasts about 30 minutes. I will charge it before I ship it out to give you the opportunity to …

Many of you have Gateway MA3 / MA7 (MX6xxxx / MT6xxx) notebooks that don’t power on at all. Some of you have replaced your jacks, only to find out that the problem remained.
This problem is due to a short in between the layers on your board – but a skilled technician can still repair it. Precision Division in Clearwater FL repairs this problem in the Gateway MA3 / MA7 notebooks for around a hundred.
