Hardware - February 2007

It's actually two questions. Please number your answers so that I know to which question you're referring. Thanks a lot!!

1) Are there any risks involved if you open a monitor that is turned OFF and unplugged?

2) What happens if you DROP a monitor that is turned OFF and unplugged? Fire?

I have a Board: Intel Corporation D845HV AAA63929-308. I currently have a Pentium 4 1.6 GHz CPU. I bought a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz CPU. I would like some clear instructions on manually replacing it myself without screwing it up. Can someone instruct me or lead me in the right direction.

Thanks!

So what is the recommendation from the experts? Upgrade to Vista from XP or just wait until you're ready to buy a new one if it's still out?

When she tries to load up from the A:/ drive it prompts her with (paraphrasing): I am not formatted, wanna format me? Caution, I might delete all your crap.

What should she do. The info on the disk is EXTREMELY imprtant.

Well.. When i've just bought the notebook, one time charging can last for at least 1 hour. but,now it seems decreasing a lot. 1 time charging can only last for 30 minutes. Well, i put my notebook in my room,and charge it every night. The room has 1 Air conditioner,so it must be really cold.Does this affect the charger? Or is there any other cause?

MY HP 56 ink cartridge can be refilled with commercial ink 4-5 times, and then it fails to print.

But, with no moving parts, I cannot understand why it would ever fail.
I don't really mind replacing the cartridge, but I don't understand why it could ever fail if the cartridge remains intact.

I have recently bought a macbook (2GHz dual core, intel processor, MacOSX etc). I have an external hard disk, previously formated and used in a PC (windows software).

When I plugged in the disk, my notebook could "see" the drive but had not access to the files.

What do I have to do?

Thanks
