This gateway notebook came in with the classic symptom of once being able to hold the back of the power cord when plugged in in just the right position to power on. Usually this is a progressive problem that gets worse over time and the dc jack will need to be replaced.
The MA8 laptops are almost identical to the MA2, MA3, and MA7 series gateway laptops. The difference is the MA8 has upgraded hardware and newer technologies.
Once inside the power jack voltage pin looks oxidized and loose. This dc jack will need to be desoldered and a new jack soldered back on.
After the dc plug is replaced the laptop works like new again.
