So i've had my Gateway 300SE for a few years now. Around november, 2005 the computer seemed to have a problem. I left one night while leaving it on, came home and the power button was yellow. I figured it was in sleep mode, but it never seemed to turn back on. ever.
So I just bought a laptop and figured it had died.
Well, now I have to get back on that computer. I'm a graphic designer and realized my whole portfolio that I am in desperate need of now is loaded onto the hard drive of that computer. So, is there any way I could get the computer fixed... or does anyone know what possibly the problem could be? I figured something was fried in it. I'm no computer whiz, so I have no idea what to do. The only thing I can think of is to download all my old stuff off that hard drive onto a new one or whatever (I did that once but forget how, i could learn though). I'd really like to get the computer up and working though, because a computer is a computer... it'd save me some money.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
