Blinking Monitor = Say No
by Dontbuy Gateway on Sep 16th, 2007 at 12:07 PM:
This system is bad enough for me to never purchase a Gateway again. Consumers don't buy a computer only to be charged to fix a problem that everyone that buys this model will eventually face if they haven't already. This model is a lemon and is no longer support by Gateway. The system should have been recalled, but no such thing in the Gateway computer world. In either case, I would not purchase a Gateway again because of the problems I had with this machine (Blinking monitor).
610 media player

I to purchased a 610 media player nad like everyone else the power supply crashed. I found a forum that describes why this happened. For what this pc can do to have only a 180 watt power supply makes no sense. i have a Gateway wich I bought brand new in 1999 and still runs perfectly. It has been totally upgraded for my son's gaming experience. No wonder they no longer make all in one systems.
Blinking monitor

The blinking is making me go nuts. Is there anyone who has been successful in correcting the problem? Other than the blinking, which has made it impossible to use the machine, I like it and would like to keep it but not with the blinking.
Been mostly good for 3 years

I bought this re-manufactured 610xl 3 years ago. Last year the hard drive failed, (probably due to weak power supply) $200 to have Gateway fix it. Yesterday, the power supply crashed completely. Although not a perfect unit, its size and capabilities have performed well for the $1300 I gave for it. If I can get the PSU fixed cheap, I'll still be pleased with this PC.

Nice system when it works

I would not ever purchase another Gateway just because I feel it should have been recalled when the obvious design defect became evident. They have lost a lot of customers if the internet blogs are any indication.
Other than the defect I am happy with the unit. I bought two power supplies just in case though. Rev 01 to boot.
