Hardware - January 2007

I just bought a new laptop and it has a slot for an express card. I have no idea what this is, what it's purpose is or where to purchase one. So any info you kind people can provide would be greatly appreciated.

My laptop fell down and my screen doesn't display any thing but a back light y shadows. It has a port for a external monitor. I think I could use it to save information from hard drive to DVD. But I don't how to enable the use of an external monitor. When I power it on I hear the sound that it is starting up, and y can see the light of the hard drive activity flashing, which means for me thar it's starting up.

Could some one help me, please?

Hi all,
I bought DELL Latitude D610 and IBM ThinkPad when i was in USA. Now since i had to temporarily move to India, i have some important issues to ask.

US used 60HZ and 110V power supply electricity whereas India uses 50HZ, 240V (as most of the european countries).
So, now, if i want to use my laptop adapter in India to charge my laptop, Can i do that? Did anybody try that? I don't want to connect to 240V power supply and later find that the system has been blown up... i cannot afford to do that...

Any advises (if you had experience) will be highly appreciated.

I bought a USB-Type SIM card reader. Before it has a built-in driver that when I plug into my USB slot, the driver automatically runs.
Apparently for stupidity, I erased those files in my SIM Card reader, so now it functions like an ordinary USB external hard drive with less than 1MB of available memory.
Where can I find a program(if possible PC/SC driver), and what else am I going to do, so I can use it as a SIM Card reader again?

I installed a video card on my PC with ease. Are there any issues installing a video card on a laptop? If I wanted an ATI x550 or x1300 do you see any issues with that combo?

I'm pretty sure its not a hardware problem as the day before they where not there my sister was the only one on the day it appeared and said it wasn't there when she was on they see to cover text and images i can read/see them its just really annoying.they go all the way across the screen and are darker with darker images or when they overlap each other never seen this before it was working fine up until my sister got off the computer and shut it down when i turned it back on they where there could this be some effect of a virus/other program?

I am planning to buy a laptop and I have 2 options.One has GeForce Go 7600 and other has ATI mobility radeon x1400. I know Go 7600 has a seperate memory like 128Mb or 256Mb but I dont know if x1400 uses the main memory of computer or it also has its own memory. So which graphic card would you go with if u were me and why?Advantages and disadvantages?

I've got this box thing, where the speakers are connected to. When I turn it up, it increases the bass in the volume. It's pretty big and heavy.
