I was deleting files and I deleted a favorite family picture. I thought deleted files went to the recycle bin but there was none in it. Is this photo on the computor somewhere as I was informed that even when you empty a recycle bin the files are still on the comptor somewhere. If the photo did not go to the recycle bin where did it go too? Can you help me find my photo????

The section where you plug the charger in has slipped so it won't charge anymore...

The laptop is a Ben Q joybook 5100U laptop. Everything else works but the keyboard. Is this because of the mainboard or is it something else. How much will it cost to get it fixed. Everything else works but the keyboard. Is this because of the mainboard or is it something else. The only way to use the laptop is to connect a external keyboard. But how can I fix the main keyboard? do you know what the problem is ?

The plug was knocked out whilst I was using the pc, and when I turned everything back on my monitor screen is flickering and making a fizzing/buzzing sound?

Can anyone tell me what it could be and if it can be fixed :-(

I have looked on line for a new all-in-one printer, but can't make up my mind. I have a digital camera too transfer my photos to the computer but no way of printing it up. I have been having problems with my Lexmark and i have to clean the heads on the ink thingy's everytime I need to print something. I have refilled the black ink and it still doesnt work. I have uninstalled my lexmark and reinstalled it in order to make it work. I am having more problems with this ever since i have had it. Plus it uses so much ink. Please help. I don't want anything to expensive or to bulky and less trouble shooting. Any positive suggestions out there anyone? Oh and how is the Laser Printers, are they also worth it?

Alrightly so a few months back I bought a Laptop. Paid $1400 for it, really nice laptop. But I have a (trendnet) router. Not the best router out there. But I had a extremly shitty signal with it.

I took it back and got a Custom built Desktop PC built for gaming. But now I need a laptop for school. The laptop I paid 1400$ for a year ago is now 699$ Im wondering if it was the laptop or my wireless router causing the problem. I could not walk more than 10 feet without getting "poor signal". And I need a laptop for school now. Heres a link to my original Laptop perhaps some one can take a look and tell me. I need desk net connection possible, suggestion on what to look into also?

I got confused. I have 2 PCs, one in my home and the second in my office.

Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3.06GHz, ~2.3GHz

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.20GHz, ~2.2GHz

As u see the frequencies of processors are nearly the same but why the Celeron (R) is running slower than Pentium(R)?
RAMs are the same in both,512MB

Is it corrupt or is this a motherboard thing? When I go under my computer I don't see the D drive mentioned. The floppy A is there but when I put in a floppy I get an error message. It use to be there under "my Computer"
the error message on the CD-Rom is:There is no CD-ROM player attached to this computer. CD player can not start. I always had it before. I have used the cd to install printers and play music. I have used the A drive "floppy" to copy a resume. What is up? could a AVAST virus scan remove stuff like that? I have also ran Bitdefender. Where oh where has my D & A drive. GONE!!!!!!!
