Hardware - November 2006

Ttried every thing i know! (nothing!) Tried un/re install, tuneuputilities, opentechsupport. Etc... I think i need to take it in! Been quoted,$60-$100, just to look at it! Wow! Can anyone give me a realistic price on just how much it should cost? It's an Emachine T2824. Everything else works fine. I live in Milwaukee,county,Wi. I just want my music to play w/o losing all my music! Thanks for ANY help! I am on disability too, [can prove it] would certin Co's give a discount?

I currently use HP machines, becuase I like thier policy of "express exchange", that if a user replaceable part is broken, they will exchange it for you by sending you the replacement part then you send them back your part (they take a CC number as collateral), this speeds up the process of you getting your machine up and working.
Is there any Hi-end vendors that have the same policy?

I have a toshiba sattelite R10 notebook and it used to charge fine. Then i noticed that when i would plug in the charger it wasnt charging, so i would fiddle with the connection to the laptop and then it would charge, but now its not charging at all. I'm not sure if somethings wrong with the charger, the battery, or my computer. Any help?

When I plugged it in, it found the drivers, and asked to be restarted. I did, and now it begins to start-up, and stops on a black screen. I un-plug the keyboard, reset, and it begins fine. Help?

My D and E drive that are my CD player and my CD writer are mysteriously gone from my computer! I have my supsicion that someone who does not care for me may have taken them off. Is it possible for that they just removed themselves when my computer says that htye were either moverd or removed. I am not able to laod anything that is associated with a CD like my new scanner! Can any one give me suggestions of what I need to do? Do I need to get another D and E drive and the hardware that goes with it or do you think I can get the problem repaired. I am not a computer expert, but conventioanal wisdom tells me that I will need to get the soft wear and reload the program! Once I am in my new surroundings, I plan to purchase a new system, but I need suggestions fo rnow. Thanks, Arene

Currently, I have 1 GB of RAM, and I find that crap worthy. I have 2 old 256 MB RAM sticks laying around. Can I just install those 2 and have 1.5 GB of RAM? Will It work? Will It make my PC better? I just made a custom gaming computer that slows down every once and a while, and I want to know whether the extra rAM will work or not.


If anyone asks:

-specs-

Intel Pentium D processor
x2 ATI Radeon 256 MB x1300 (CrossFire config.)
Antec 500w PSU
DVD x12 speed
CD x16 speed
Blu-Ray x2 speed (hurrah!)
1.2 TB storage memory
Sony TV Tuner card

When I add 512mb to my computer it makes my computer beep no stop and it won't come on. My computer already has 512mb and it can go up to 2gb of memory. I tried changing my old memory to the the empty slot and the new memory to the old slot and my computer still beeps. So I put each memory into the old slot individually and no beeping. It only beeps when I but either one in to the open slot.

I hope someone understands what I mean by.
