I have a keyboard plugged to my laptop. I never clean the laptops keyboard and yet friends and family constantly tell me that dust isn't good for the keyboard. I recently saw an ad in an electronics store that offered to clean your laptop inside and out for $40. I used that laptops keyboard and it worked fine.

Is this just a myth or is dust bad for your keyboard. Have any of you lost a keyboard because of dust?

Sometimes when I write my letters type in caps even though my caps lock is not on. When I turn Caps Lock on the letters go back to normal but then caps lock is on. When this is happening and I need to type in numbers it prints ! @ # $ instead of 1 2 3 4 for example. The symbols are typed if the caps lock is on or off it doesn't seem to matter. I don't know if this is a problem with my computer or just some kind of key combination. The only thing that fixes the problem is shutdown (restart doesn't fix it). Also when I click on an icon on my desktop it highlights all the icons in its row and keeps doing and when I go to another row the ones highlighted before stay highlited. I am on a laptop. Can anyone help?

I'm 14 and I want a PDA. I don't want to regret the choice because if it turns out that the thing is pure junk, well, I just wasted hundreds of dollars. So which is better?

WRT54G. I cannot get the router to connect to the internet. My wired router had no problems discovering the DSL settings but this thing is confused. I can connect to the internet without the router so DSL is fine. I can establish the SSID on the router and my wireless laptop can see it and says that the wireless network is there and available. However, the wireless is just not connecting to the internet.

I know how Intel and AMD have different ones...but now I see Sempron and Pentium-M and Pentium-D etc...I want to know the ones made by each company and where they stand, and how the notebook chips measure up against each other and the desktop chips.

I have a Emachines 466is. It is very old, purchased about 5-6 years ago. I was very young and my parents dont remember what kind of motherboard the computer has. How can I tell what kind of motherboard I have besides asking Geek Squad or a computer tech?
