Hardware - January 2007

I don't have any of the special wipes and I have never tried them.
Are there any alternative methods for cleaning a computer screen?

Basically the question is, will all the hookups work with this board? I went to compusa to physically look at it, and there was like...30 or so hookups, like the LED, Reset, Power hookups, but there was weird names on them ive never heard of. Though, ive never actually built a computer, but I have taken about, 12 apart and put them back together, and none have had what this case had. And, I cant remember the names otherwise I would look them up.

Thanks for the help ahead of time

What sort of lead would I need. I have what looks like a video-in & audio-in on the back of the tower unit. Can these be obtained from a local computer dealer?

Thanks, Pete

Should I wait to see if there will be a glitch in the system or assume all is well and go ahead and buy it? And my mom wants a computer with at least 2 gigahertz and 2 cd/cd-rom/dvd drives and with alot of memory for me. Possibly in the 200-600 $ range. Help!
Should we buy one now or wait?

Please help, My laptop display has gone weird, although its a widescreen the display now only fills 4/5 of the screen width. The blank section is black and at the bottom its all flickery. The laptop operates fine, all programs and other functions are fine. Is this a hardware problem? If so can it be fixed? I know laptop components are all on one board, will this mean a new motherboard? Any help will be rewarded with a hug for girls or a backslap for boys...

Like I said it can't have any credit cards or any promotional offers. You just give your address and they mail it to you.
