Does anyone know where I might be able to get me Dell Inspirion 8500 Notebook repaired? Apparently, my hard drive is dead as the computer will not turn on. After working with the Dell technicians for a few hours it was suggested that I mail the pc back to Dell. I've looked into other sources for repair but apperently no one knows anything about Dell hardware parts. Please help...serious responses needed!!!!

need it to have 4 separate hard drives each with a specific purpose. separately accesable as well as in conjunction. and also a desktop to be linked as well. or would i not need just a server? would it be better to have a server and desktop? also speed and performance are important. would like system to be integrated with my television so i can watch movies from system on a hdtv. and with satellite (direct tv).
gaming on it as well. basically for business and personal use.

I have an old sony Vaio that's been through a war. For a while now, the screen has had a tendency to flop around real easily, but now, I have to put it in just the right position or the image will go all wonky, with flickers and lines and it'll be split in half and such.

Is there anything I can do to fix it myself? if not, what's a pretty cheap way to get this thing working right again?

Any ideas ?

I have an Epson Stylus CX4200, on an intel iMac. So, in July, I purchased new ink. For sometime, it would print, but nothing would show up on the page. But now it prints color. But the turns out really light, and the colors are different. If I were t print out white, it would be light orange. Just now, I tried to take the ink things in and out, and then print what I needed to be printed out, but I still have the same problem. The black prints out perfectly, but the color does not work properly. Any ideas how I can make it work?
