which model - not all Gateways are the same

the battery trick is to turn off the PC, UNPLUG from the mains too and then remove the battery for 1 minute, 15 minutes , overnight (depends on how much residual power is held by capacitors or something - try each in turn)

CMOS jumper - depends on the motherboard but usually involves a full power cycle with the jumper in the other position.
