i left my computer in my car during a hot day. for the whole entire day. i was bringing it to my friends house but ended up changing plan. but i finally got home at night and took it out to plug it in. it turned on all the lights are on. but my screens says "no signal" what does that mean? i changed my video card back to the old one that used to be in it. and still "no signal" i took the old card and plugged it into an old computer of mines and it worked. so i was thinking it wasnt the video card. what could it be?

I know its not possible to do and be worth it in the end, but does anybody know of someone ever trying and succeeding in anything like replacing an old laptops innards with new ones?

my uncle built kind of a redneck laptop(if thats the right name for it). He just got compatible laptop parts and put them together in his thin home made case.

My school does not condone students to use routers nor do they allow students to use xbox live or online gaming services. although it is possible to connect a wired router to the network and play xbox live. though, eventually the school admin catches on and will limit your internet. is there a way to hide a wired router from network admins?

1. try to search Yahoo! Answers if the question you're going to ask is already asked by a member. see if somebody answered it and try to check if the answer works. if you're question doesn't exists, proceed to number 2.

2. the topics we have here are kinda technical, so let's be more specific. include in your question the necessary details so that people who somewhat or have an idea about what you're asking wouldn't wonder if he/she is answering your question based on what you really need.

i guess other members would try to add more on this.

ciao...

I bought a gateway laptop a year ago. Everything was fine until it started to run very very slow. My husband redid the computer and now I do not have sound.

My computer does not even recognize its own sound card and I have no idea what to do. I tried going to the website and downloading the sound program but it tells me that I do not have a device mixer.

Please help. I want my sound back.

I have just built a program to allow my works to input income and outgoings data and produce graphs, reports etc. The input screen requires very little information, as macros & functions etc complete nearly everything. There are a few cells where input is required: how do I make it so the only cells that can be accessed are the cells that require input? Say using the TAB key will cycle between the input cells only. This problem has bugged me for years. I've used Excel5.

My monitor has two slots in the back, one is for VGA the other is for DVI and is a Dual Link type:
http://www.lyberty.com/encyc/articles/tech/img/all-DVI-types.jpg
I need the 4th one on that picture

I want to be able to plug in my computer (VGA) aswell as my Xbox 360 at the same time. However with Only one VGA slot and both the computer and the Xbox using it I have to keep swapping them and changing them around.

Where can I get a converter which will change a VGA connector into a male DVI Dual Link so I can plug both into the monitor at the same time.

It is the Dual Link part I'm having trouble with as all suppliers seem to be selling the "DVI-I (Digital And Analogue) Dual Link" when what I need is "DVI-D (DVI Digital) Dual Link"

The DVI-I connector won't fit because there are extra pins anfd no holes for them

thanks
