I have a personal laptop for my own use, which I left at home for about 6 hours. The problem was
that I forgot to put on the adapter, so that the battery won't run out. And there I was, when I
came back home, the laptop's battery was out. I immediately connected the charger but the
"Charging Light" was not going on. I tried to turn on the laptop after a while, but it was not
working. I am not sure why my laptop is not recharging. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My aunt gave me her old laptop, and I want to reinstall Windows on it. For sarters, the DVD-ROM
drive is not first in the boot order. So I need to open the BIOS Setup program to change it. I tried
pressing about half a dozen key combos, and couldn't get it to run. I called Dell, and they gave
me some garbage, saying that I would have to pay to get help. So I come here, to ask you, how does
one open the BIOS Setup program on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop?...

well in just a little over a year i'll be going to college and i was wondering what would be a
good laptop for a college student. My thought: since i have a realy bad hand writing( i sometimes
cannot understand my own writing) i was thinking about getting a tablet pc so i could write and it
would turne into typed text. but one thing i want to make sure is that if i do get one, would i
still be able to get all the different softwares i like and if i could play games on it? what do

Well, my mom is buying me a graduation laptop and my budget is about $2500. This is the laptop
I've found to be the biggest bang for the buck, but as I'm not great at this stuff I figured
I'd ask for help. The speed and memory of the laptop is pretty much set at the speed it's
at (2.5GB L2 6MB, 4 GB RAM, 640GB HDD). Also I don't want to lose bluetooth either. So, if you
have any comments or suggestions, please let me know, if you find better offers for the same machine
I'd be happy to know about them as well. Thank you for your time!...

I know that generally you cannot upgrade a laptops graphics card! I am thinking of getting THIS
laptop and it has a good graphics card which according to Nvidia's wesite will be direct x10
compsatible but in the future I may want a new graphics card without a new laptop, is it possible
with this laptop because it has dedicated memory in the graphics card so i am not entirely sure as
for ram and hard drive i believe it can have double the ram and double the hd space I am no expert
of laptops so thats why i am asking the specs aren't hugely instructive b...

I bought this MacBook Pro over 15 months ago and it came with a 160GB (149.1 GB in real terms)
Hitachi Hard drive that spins at 5400 RPM and is a bit noisy for whatever reason. Yesterday, UPS
delivered to me two WD 320 GB (298 GB in real terms) 5400 RPM drives. The second one is for a friend
who's going to pay me to install it in his Macbook Pro for him. I paid $190 each for the WD
Passports off of newegg.com which, oddly, is less than the hard drive without the Passport
enclosure. First challenge was getting the enclosures open without breaking them. There are...

Here I come again Another of my clients also have a problem with his Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. The
problem is with the VGA. When you turn on the laptop it display but immediately after the boot
screen (uses Win XP Pro w/SP2), the display goes off. This type of problem also occurs on my
desktop with my nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 (128MB) but I always resolve the isue by booting in save mode
and uninstalling the video driver. After that, I will reboot in normall mode and then reinstall the
video driver and everything will be alright. I have done that for this Dell laptop bu...

Hi I just got this computer last week and its running great , bar a few small probs. Today i have
noticed that my AGP Aperture size is set to 64mb My card is a nVIDIA Geforce 6200 256MB AGP I was
just wondering if it is at all possible that i can change the aperture size to 128 or 256. I just
done today a bios update ,but i still see no setting for me to be able to configure this option. I
just manage to get the agp slot running at 8x ,as it was at 4x when i got the computer. I think the
bios update fixed that ,but am still not making any progress in fixing the Ape...

Just out of curiosity I want to here your opinion, if you were making a computer and there was a
choice of a 8800GTX and a 8800Ultra which one would you take. The logical answer would be the
8800ULTRA since it has higher clock speeds, better looking etc but I've heard some people say
that the 8800Ultra overheats your computer, too big, and uses too much power. Others say that the
8800GTS is much more worth the money, what do you prefer?...

Alright, I'll stay by telling you what Graphics Card I have, so there's not confusing. I
have a RECENTELY purchased 258mb GeForce 5500 graphic card. I installed it on my computer, a long
with the drivers.. What I didn't do!; Stupidly enough, I never plugged my monitor into the
graphics card, ha. So for about 2 months I thought I was running a GeForce, when I was actually
running an Intel Extreme Graphics card, ya, don't ask me how I didn't notice. I figured
that out today when I tryed to play fable, and it yelled at me for not having a good en...

So, what're your thoughts after seeing it in action in some form or fashion? NVIDIA has showcase
at http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce8.html , though I'm wondering why they haven't
released any tech demos for at least the basic stuff you can do (or at least for those with Windows
Vista RC1/2). The thing that trips me out the most is the water effect (the DX10 geometry shader).
The Quantum Effects technology I'd have to see in another form or fashion. But geez, the 8800
kind of creates a whole new ball park of terms we have to know. Instead of pipeline...

I am a little hesitant... on one hand I am thinking of buying a new laptop, whereas another option
would be to just upgrade it using a little more memory. My laptop has a Mobile AMD Athlon™ XP
2600+ processor with 512 MB of RAM. On one hand the computer works fine, but I would like it to have
a little more power. Sometimes for example I would like to play a nice game on it and this can be
problematic. So... I could buy a new one, which will cost me a lot of money, but I can also buy
some extra RAM, which would be relatively cheap. On the other hand, I am probably ...

The first graphic card, introduced in August of 1981 by IBM, was Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA).
The monitors that used these cards were typically text-only with green, amber or white text on a
black background. Color for IBM-compatible computers appeared on the scene with the 4-color
Hercules Graphics Card (HGC), followed by the 8-color Color Graphics Card (CGA) and 16-color
Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA). When IBM introduced the Video Graphics Array (VGA) in 1987, a new
graphics standard came into being. A VGA display could support up to 256 colors (out of a possi...

reason. I also always get messages from windows saying low battery even when it is cha...
