I have a friend who was kind enough to give me an extra printer of his, but it's missing the printer cable. Are they pretty much "one size fits all"? And how much can I expect to pay for one new?
BTW, the printer is a Lexmark Jetprinter, if that makes a difference.

Yesterday when I tried to boot up my PC, the computer would not boot, it would go to the windows loading screen then reboot. So my first thought was that the motherboard was shot so I called ASUS tech support and, they said before I send the motherboard in to remove parts one at a time to see if they we're causing the problem, and sure enough it was the sound card. I have to theories that either my Sound Card is shot or My PSU can't handle my equipment (I have been pushing it).

My Specs are as Followed:
Asus P5VD1 - X,
Pentium 4 3.2 ghz,
Seagate 160gb HD 7200 rpm,
1.5 GB Corsair Ram,
ATI 1600 pro Video Card 512mb,
420w PSU (Aspire),
Sony DVD- RW,
and the Sound Card is a Creative Sound Blaster 5.1 surround sound not sure the model but its about 3 years old.

Just purchased an HP laptop with duo processor. A fully charged battery only lasts 90 minutes - I'm a bit surprised - is this normal or should I take it back (I bought it open-boxed).

I have an old hard drive that came out of a computer whose motherboard overheated. It was a slave drive with no OS. It had all my video and music data on it. We trashed the old computer but took this out. I really don't want to open my brand new computer to make this the slave drive, is there any way to make this an external with an enclosure without having to reformat it and partition it in effect losing all of my old data?

I bought 2x512M PC2-5300 DDR2 667 ECC Memory from Ebay, but they cannot be used on my Dell Dimension 9100, I think it's because the i945 motherboard does not support ECC Memory. what can I do to Change the ECC Memory to non-ECC Memory, or to make the i945 motherboard support ECC Memory?

The DVD-RW drive in my laptop is faulty. I've got enough computer hardware know-how to reckon that I can buy a replacement drive on ebay and install it myself. Only I haven't worked with laptops before - are DVD drives in them easy enough to access, take out and replace?

And how do I know which model to get? Will the model of DVD drive be specific to my laptop, or will one model of drive be used in all kinds of laptops?
So shall I search by laptop model, or shall I find out what model of DVD drive it needs?
