This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to a
minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense on your
display, contact Gateway Technical Support to identify whether a repair or
replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
DVD/CD-RW Drive
Your tablet PC does not recognize a disc or the drive
■ The disc may not be seated correctly in the tray. When you place a disc
on the tray, make sure that you press the disc firmly onto the spindle so
the retainers hold the disc in place.

■ Try a different disc. Occasionally discs are flawed and cannot be read by
the drive.
■ Some music CDs have copy protection software. You may not be able to
play these CDs on your tablet PC.
