A real good quality for a small 10 x 11 room. I don't need it to be loud, just loud enough for me to hear in my room.

By the way, can you tell me the watts given off by the basic speakers that come with most computers so that i can compare the two.

How much abuse can it take if it were to fall or get hit? I just want to know for future reference so that I know what level of caution I should have.

This morning I was wiping off the screen and keyboard with a cloth. I must have pushed several keys at the same time. Now when I press "S" in any application, the "/" symbol comes up. If I press "H" the letters "h6jm come up. Pressing V makes VB.

What did I do? and How do I go back to a normal keyboard?

So heres the deal, I got a nice laptop from my friend for free because he broke the sound card's line out (he's a DJ) and I was wondering if it is possible to turn the microphone input into a line out by changing some sort of setting / installing software, or am I going to have to pull it apart and re-solder it back together (last resort because I tried this already and its hard because of the way they packed it in there its almost impossible to get to)?

I recently purchased a brand-new HP Compaq nc6220 laptop. There is a problem with the LCD screen, which I am trying to resolve. The colors on the screen are very washed out and seem to have too strong of a blue tint to them. They look only slightly better if the LCD is tilted way back, and if you are looking at it from an angle. I have checked the color settings in the display configuration, and they are set to the factory defaults. I was even able to compare it side-by-side with another laptop of the exact same model. Adjusting the color settings in the graphics card driver doesn't do the trick. Neither does Adobe Gamma. I tried plugging an external monitor into the VGA port, and it looks fine, so I doubt it's an issue with the video card/drivers. HP support won't fix the problem, and I am at a loss of what to do. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

I tried defragmenting it and checking for errors. I also rebooted my computer to see if that would do anything. Its a DANE-ELEC 256MB USB Flash drive (got it as a gift last year).

Thanks in advance!

I bought a Dell about 2 years ago and it was my first personal computer. It came with a Pentium 4, 40GB hard drive, 256mb of RAM, and I dont know what kind of motherboard it came with.

The last 2-3 months I've been buying parts from newegg to build my first computer, and I assembled it using a Athlon 3400, Westing 80 GB hard drive, Patriot 512mb RAM, EVGA Geforce FX5500 graphics card, and BIOSTAR K8M800-M7A motherboard. The performance in this computer is DEFINITELY wrong, because it runs as if it has absolutely no RAM, even though the Patriot stick shows up in the system properties.

Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong? Could I take it to a local shop and have them try to figure out what is hooked up wrong or isnt compatible?
