was on the internet last night and my laptop (dell inspiron e1505) suddenly stopped and a blue screen came up with white words that said something about a memory parity error. i couldn't restart my computer because the whole system had been halted. i finally got it going again by unplugging it and taking the battery out, then putting it back in again. i thought it was all better, but then it just happened again! I did the battery thing again, but this time i left the computer off, because if it happened twice, it'll happen again and it my hurt my laptop to restart a lot. so anyway, can you please tell me what might be wrong and how i can fix it? thank you!!!

Uh oh! The most stupid and unfortunate thing has happened. I accidentally knocked my notebook against a sharp metallic object. Of all the places, it pierced my screen and broke it. So, I can't use it now.

I think repairing it will be extremely costly. However, I also can't throw it away. I just got it for about US$1200 not long ago.

I am just thinking. Do you think the screen can be replaced? Is there a place that sells plain LCD screens for notebooks? Can I just buy one such screen and replaced it?

If you know of such shops selling such screens, may I know what kind of shops are they? I don't believe ordinary computer shops sell them.

I'm in computer sales and supplies here in NIgeria. My aim is to buy fairly used laptops, particularly the Pentiums I and II, (and III, IV of course) for re-sale in Nigeria. The use of desktops have been hampered by the erratic power supply here. So we are trying to encourage the use of laptops.

I have this strange message in my computer, which eventually might burn my iPod. "Power surge on hub port. A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message" When I click on it, it says" Ahub device has malfunctioned and exceeded the power limits of its hub port. You should disconnect the device" I went ahead and disconnect, but the message eventually came back. Any suggestions?

My Dell Latitude C600 won't boot Windows anymore, says that it's missing the hal.dll file. Unfortunately the modular cd drive in the laptop no longer works for some reason and a new one is coming in. I wonder if I can use the new drive to boot the Windows CD or am I out of luck there because drivers need to be installed?

I am thinking this is less of a mouse problem and more of a virus thing. Sometimes it works if you click about 20 times quickly, but most of the time it doesn't, which makes running a cleanup program a problem. Left clicking still sometimes drags icons, but rarely works to run them. Tabbing + Enter rarely works as well. Anyone heard of this? Do I need to take my PC in to get fixed? BTW, right click works fine.
