I have a Toshiba A70-RT1 laptop that has an output of 19V, 4.74A which needs a new power supply cord. I'm having trouble finding the same cord for replacement, so I wondered if a 19V, 6A output would be compatible, or if it would damage the laptop.

Its a pain in the backside fiddling around with wires at the back of the computer every time I want to capture video from my camcorder. A drive with ports at the front would be much better no?

The mouse stops, the kebord stops functioning, evrything stops working. I have to restart the coputer everytime it happens. Sometimes the computer would go three days without hanging up but sometimes it would hang up 4-5 times a day. I am really fed up of it. Took it to one computer mantinance store also but the computer did not hang there. Though that was a long time ago now I have upgraded most parts of my system. I have changed the video card, RAM, hard disk, power supply and even the CPU cooling fan. I dont know what else to do. Its still hanging up. Please help me. If you dont know please dont answer, like some people say go to this website etc. If you know please try to help help me.

I have a pc with a fried motherboard. I want to clone the hard drive to a new computer but am not quite sure how to go about it. Computer 1 is inoperable, so I can't access it's own backup system for a transfer. Any help would be appreciated. I am at a fairly advanced user, and am familiar with terms and definitions. Thanks.

What do you think is better if you just need the ability to access outlook e-mail, write papers, and access the Internet on the go? I am going to school online and I also work full time in sales so I am always moving. I have a good computer at home and work I just need something for in between here and there. What would you recommend? And should I lease or buy if I am only planning on really using it for a few years. I kind of think that leasing is a good idea since technology changes so fast. If I buy then it would just be obsolete in a few years. Let me know what you think.

I used to have what's called an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) which basically gives ur computer a constant voltage supply. I live here as an expat in Manila btw. Recently the UPS got busted and the computer is directly plugged into the socket which makes it vulnerable to voltage fluctuations etc.

We don't exactly suffer black outs ever. I want to know how urgent it is to get something to replace the UPS and if there's a cheaper alternative.
Your answers are much appreciated.

She wants me to help her with her computer which she says isn't working. How do I ask for payment? And how much? I feel like its being greedy to say "Sure I'll come do it for $50" -- What do you guys think.
