I didn't hear any frying or zapping. I also tried to turn it on (bad choice) after I spilled the water on it, but it didn't boot up. I now have the batteries removed, and it's not connected to a power source. What do I do?

I own a Lexmark P6250 3 in 1 printer and it has always been a reliable machine, but a few weeks ago I changed the photo cartiridge and printed several photo sheets successfully, towards the end it was giving the photos a pink hue. So I went through all the basic troubleshooting where you clean the heads and align the cartiridges and then it started printing fairly normal except that there was a green outline around the brightess parts of the photo mostly faces and teeth, a very unattractive effect.
I still had over half the ink left in the photo cartiridge and could not understand why it was doing that?

If case someone asks...the machine is about 2 years old, but prints text just fine.

Anyone have a similar problem with their machine? Thank you

has anyone really had a fan in their laptop die on them? my presario r3360 has a rear fan that runs constantly BY DESIGN (this is normal). i'm curious to whether failing fans are a common thing. do they tend to burn out? this is a 2" fan. thanks!

BTW, i blow the dust out and off of the fans twice a week.

I need an external HD to use as a slave drive to backup entire c:drive and also install and run Linux OS. I currently have a 200 gb HD that still has about 80% free space so thats not an issue. I just want it for security and I don't want to partition c: drive for multiple Linux installs. My main question is what kind should I get ( I want comparable speed and performance of C ) USB or USB to IDE????? In short what are the pros and cons of each .


thanx in advance

It's an old white IBM webcam. I plugged it in to my computer, and my computer attempted to install the hardware. However, it says that the computer lacks the software/driver suited for a webcam. How do I fix this, or where do I download such a thing?

I have a old joystick that is compatible with 95, I have 2000 on my computer. The computer won't let me load the setup disk because of system requirements that only work with 95. I know there is a way to allow the disk to setup anyway, but I can't remember how. Any ideas?

I recently upgraded both my 250W power supply to a 500W Coolmax and my FX5200 8x AGP to a 7600GT AGP. For about a week nothing went wrong and then today, my PC just shut down. I figured the problem is with my PSU, but that is odd since the requirements are 350W and I easily beat that. My PC runs w/o the video card connected, but as soon as I plug it up, my PC won't start. What is the problem? Is the PSU faulty? Is the graphics card broken?
