It boots to the BIOS screen and stops. The BIOS message is;
"To change BIOS settings, press <F2> To display system messages, press

Step 3?
The Gateway Solo 9500 Notebook has been dismantled, cleaned with alchohol.
The keyboard has been replaced. The Hard Drive is good.
If it boots to this BIOS screen, does that mean the mother board is OK?
