It is very likely that the keyboard is faulty.  The constant beeping
is actually the system sensing that a key had been stuck.  The key may
not physically be depressed but the circuit board could be messed up.

If possible, try disabling the keyboard in the BIOS and using an
external keyboard.  If the beeping stops then you have isolated the
problem.  The best thing to do would be to call gateway support for
some further direction.

BIOS beeps can also indicate other problems than just keyboard
issues.  You need to locate the correct "BIOS" beep code definition
info and compair the short / long beep coses.

There is no short/long beep coses. It is just constantly beeping non
stop, it will continue to beep forever until I hit any key.

Beep codes have specific meaning. The POST - power-on-self-test
and dependent on BIOS and how it is configured, read here:
http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

You report a continuous series of beeps until you hit any key,
Identify your BIOS and make a comparision with the beep codes
in above site.

Well, then either you did not reconnect the keyboard properly, or you've 
damaged the keyboard while removing it. Try to start the laptop without 
the keyboard attached to be sure. Oh, and ignore that nutcase who 
suggested to "disable the keyboard in the bios", I've never seen such 
thing on any laptop.

I seen where the beeping that was caused by e stuck key did not let me
pass further (system frooze.)  Make sure you check all possible causes.

What is wrong with that suggestion - seems sensible to me! Looks like this 
group has attracted another nutter in Mr Holmes!

I would also suggest investigating the possibility of water in the keyboard 
causing a bad contact. Putting the keyboard, or whole laptop somewhere warm 
and dry for 24 hours. Perhaps even point a hair-dryer at the keyboard for 5 
mintues.

What is wrong with it is that it is plain daft. Send us a screen shot of 
a bios setting that lets you disable a keyboard and then tell us how one 
gets back into a bios once the keyboard input has been disabled.

I'd say its a pretty safe bet that a knackered keyboard is the problem 
and water ingress is the likely cause.

Good idea.

Bad idea unless you want the OP to have a Gaudi architecture style keyboard.

Personally I'd pop the keyboard out and try an external one.

OK, the exact details of the suggestion were impossible, but people are 
surely sensible enough to just unplug the keyboard??? This is easy, even 
with a laptop - you suggest it yourself in the last line of this post!

Another literal interpretation. I didn't mean put the hair-dryer on its 
hottest setting and hold it ON the keyboard. Either switch the hair dryer to 
warm or cold, or hold it at least 6 inches from the keys - I didn't mean 
stick a red hot hair dryer directly on the keyboard. Any common sense would 
tell you that an attempt to melt the keys won't actually help the problem!

Thanks for clearing that out, that is exactly what I meant. I've /never/ 
seen a computer that had a BIOS setting to disable the keyboard.

On the other hand, what ramcneilly@gmail.cum probably wanted to mention 
was the setting "halt on all errors, but keyboard". But then again, that 
setting is only useful for a system that doesn't require keyboard input 
and can be (re)booted without a keyboard connected. Like a server which 
can be configured by remote administration. If he wanted to mention that, 
he, well, had to mention that properly.

Conclusion: ramcneilly@gmail.cum is a total fuckwit and I was right 
laughing at his daft reply. And I was right laughing at GT, too.

Well that's settled then! You enjoy your laugh and the OP can follow the 
suggestions of removing the faulty, wet keyboard. Then we can all laugh at 
you when you contribute something useful. On second thoughs, I won't hold my

it is the keyboard. I took it off and it can restarts without any

If you have a thrift store near you you would likely find brand new
keyboards there for maybe a few dollars each.
