Sad to say, I spilled some sweet tea on my laptop keyboard. It still works ok but when I go to type something it types "7" over and over again on the screen. I was going to send it back to the company but there sucky warranty doesn't cover keyboards. Is there anything else I can do for it? PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING TO SAVE IT!!!!

so...i have an agp video card and an on-board vga port. what i want to
do is run 2 displays without having to get a new dual port vga card.
i heard you can set your hardware up to run the on-board port and the agp card in the bios but have failed to find any options to do so in the bios or control panels anywhere...whats up, did i get false info or did i just not find the way?

I just bought this laptop at Best Buy (Gateway Notebook with Mobile AMD Sempron™ Processor 3100+). It came with 512mb of RAM, which I have upgraded to 2gb. I was looking to increase the hard drive. Right now it is 80gb. How large of a hard drive would this computer be able to handle? 120gb? 160? Also, if I were to upgrade the hard drive, what kind of hard drive would I look for? Usually I buy parts for upgrade on eBay....what would I search for? If that is not a good place to buy it, can someone direct me somewhere else? Best answer gets the 10 points. Thanks.

It looks similar to Acer tablet PCs, but this one has a beautiful metallic design.

Whenver I put in a music CD or a DVD into my computer, it skips. I know it isn't the CD or DVD, because when I try them on other computers they work just fine. Please don't offer any sort of download. Is my only option to get a new D drive?

ok so I'm having a very difficult time deciding between a dell laptop or a macbook. I'm in college right now and need something that will be portable and able to use on and around campus. My major is journalism if that helps. And I basically would like to know what I should get. I would also like to know how many users have had problems with a mac if at all possible. I love to write, use the internet and listen to music also. My dads a computer anaylist and insists that I should get a dell because it would be more compatible in the future ie when I get a job. Anywho please someone help me out ASAP!
A special thanks to all that come across this a read this and possibly answer this you do me a great justice here!!!!
