It's new I've had it for about 8 months.

The problem is well you know how when you put it a disc it says something like what action do you want to take or when you plug in your digital camera or memory card a screen comes up and asks if you want to download to a folder or whatever. anyways well last week i put in my memory card and nothing happened. then i put in a dvd to watch and it didn't start up it started to read the disc and stopped.

So my question is.

Is my computer broken or did that action get turned off or what? Help!
I do have warranty so should I just take it back to best buy and have them check it out or is it something I can fix?

help please!!!!

I have an old laptop which i want to run linux on(becasue windows got corrupted and Linux is faster) but when I access the hard drive in linux it comes up with an error. I tryed to erase, partition and format the hard drive with gparted but it says the HD is protected. Is this because the HD will only work with Window's which I had previously installed and is there any way to fix it.

I bought my laptop a month ago and as soon as I first opened it, I noticed a single dead pixel. Basically it looks like a star in the center of the screen.

The store would have gladly given me a new laptop (no questions asked) but it was outside of their 14-day return policy. They sent it back to the manufacturer (Toshiba) who sent it back two weeks later saying there was nothing wrong with it.

I read the manufacturer's warranty and apparently it only covers defects in excess of five pixels. That basically means that you could have up to five dead pixels (which would make your laptop a worthless piece of camel manure) and the manufacturer won't budge.

The other frustrating part about this is that I bought the one-year store warranty which is supposed to cover even damage caused even through my own fault (e.g. beverage spills).

I just want to make sure that there's nothing else I can do and Toshiba isn't screwing me ("sodomizing me" may be a more accurate term...)

I bought an HP 650C on ebay, was told it just the cages were broken outside. Ithought I could manage it since I only need to print 20 pages a month. It came with broken pieces inside. It came with no manual too.
I cannot afford $490.00 anymore since I have paid for this. Any one
