Hardware - June 2006

This is weird. I last used it last Thursday and it worked fine. On Friday however, I almost cannot see anything! I need to open the light and squint. I didn't fiddle with any options so it really is puzzling.

Heeeelp me. I cannot work this way.

Computer screen has been a greenish color when I turn the computer on laterly. Sometimes the proper light and bright color comes back. Is the light bulb in the computer failing? If that is true, can it be repaired or do I have to get a new monitor.

I have a Dell 5100 Inspiron which I recently purchsed it on Ebay. I left a DVD movie playing for my little brother while a went quickly to the store. When I got back he had the AC/charger on the carpet. Sooner or later the laptop gave out. The adaptor was overheated and I thought that the ac/adaptor have gaven out. So I bought a new one through Ebay and when I received it would turn on for a second and shut off. Tried it without the battery and nothing. So I don't know what it could be. Please help thanks.

My pixma IP1000 has messages "Waste Ink Full"

I try to reset with manual service mode :

- Turn off the printer, and disconnect the printer cable
- Press and hold the POWER button, turn on the printer
- The Indicator (LED) should be green
- Press and release the RESUME button, the Indicator (LED) should be orange
- Press and release the RESUME button again, the Indicator (LED) should be green
- Release both button

After I try, it work successfull. But, when I turn off the printer and I turn on again It has messages "Waste Ink Full"

How can I solve this problem permanently?

When I got my laptop, it came with a DVD player instead of a CD burner. But when i put in a DVD, it says I don't have a decoder installed. I thought laptops that come with a DVD player already had a "decoder."

What the heck is a decoder anyways and do you know why it won't play my DVDs?? My Dvds work fine in a regular DVD player, but you can't take those on planes or buses like you can a laptop. Where do I get it installed - this Decoder??? Will it cost an arm and a leg to get it installed or do you free download it somewhere??

Help!!
