I want wi-fi, cd-rom, some way to download music to ipod(not necessarily that brand name). I don't play games, but I do use a lot of open windows at one time. At home I have cable broadband, and want to use the laptop while someone else uses another computer. The cable company has supplied a sharkfin looking device.

Is dual core processor the way to go?

They all seem to have so many options, and I will not be playing games, but want to run music in background.


Also, I am unsure about buying online, because I am worried about technical support.

This is someone else's Y!A account, but I want to use this and several other websites at the same time.

I had an all in one HP machine that would not scan documents to my computer (image was hyrogliphics), but photos scanned without any problem. Now I am in the market for a document scanner (imaging machine far to expensive for home office), and every sales person is trying to sell me an all in one machine like I had about 2 years ago. Any suggestions or recomendations as to what scanner (dedicated use will be scanning) or if all in one machines work I should purchase?

I have a Dell Dimension 8100, Windows ME. Most DVDs are recognised & played fine but some DVD copies I have aren't even recognised by the computer - it doesn't show the title in 'My Computer', just says "please insert disk" if I double click on D drive. Why??
These copies work perfectly on my more modern Dell computer, Windows XP.

I had to take my Dell computer in for repairs a while back. They said the fan burned out and burned out the power supply. I had to buy a new power supply (3Y147 Power Supply,160W,Power Factor Correction, Serial ATA Liteon). They had to wipe out everything and reinstall all the software. I brought it home and the speakers don't work. The connections have been checked and they're connected properly and I've already checked that the speakers themselves work. I don't want to pay to have it fixed again and would like to try to fix it myself. So, what is causing my computer to not have sound and what do I need to do to fix it?

2006-12-22 07:11:49 · 9 answers · asked by Venice Girl 6 in Desktops

Ok, I am trying to fix my sister's laptop. It is a Pavilion ZE45xx (I can't remember the last two numbers, but the entire 4000 line looks almost identical. The battery died a few years ago, and it was causing the mouse and keyboard to freeze every few seconds, so I removed it and disposed of it, and that fixed the problem.
However, now the laptop will not even power on. When the AC adapter gets plugged in, the battery led (an amber color) blinks slowly, but there is no battery so I don't know how. It will not boot.
Things I did already:
1. Reseated RAM, only put one chip in, and then the other, and then neither. No indication of life.
2. Pressed the reset button while unplugged, plugged and with various states of RAM in or out. Nothing. (Even held for minutes)

I've tried just about everything I know. The only thing I haven't checked is the CMOS battery, but in order to get to it, you have to dismantle the whole thing. Found a HP service manual for it.

Can anyone help? Thanks!
