My girlfriend spilled coffee on it. I was able to salvage the hard drive. A new motherboard costs almost as much as a new laptop. So now I've got this expensive paper weight and I'm wondering if I should toss it. Any suggestions for salvaging the parts or making it operational/useful in some way?

I have Windows ME ( Yes i know it is rubbish ) but it is all i can afford at the moment. My problem is i am trying to add a scanner its a UMAX Astra 610P. I have put disk that came with it into the drive and when i go to run it a pop up tells me to insert disk into drive E. I have tried other Disks and have the same problem. My computer is a Hewlett Packard Kayak XAs. It has two hard drives C and D, i don't know how to access drive D.
I am not very up on computers.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a PC currently running windows XP professional. I am studying architectural design and need to upgrade my pc in order to run applications such as autocad 2007 smoothly. My motherboard is Intel® Desktop Board D915GAV i have 1gb of ram consiting of 2x 512mb. i wish to upgrade the process and was thinking of Intel Pentium® 4 650, 3.4 GHz would this be possible and if so how exactly do you remove the heat sink and fan and old processer? is this easy? how do you instal the new processer? can you reuse the old heat sink and fan?? or will this need to be replaced??

I have a Toshiba Satelite laptop with a power supply problem. It won't charge the battery or even turn on now because the battery is so run down. The charging light comes on if I hold the cord in a certain way, but any little movement and the light goes out. I thought it might be the cord so I bought a new one, but it still is doing the same thing. I am guessing that its the connection in the computer where the power supply cord plugs in. Can anyone offer some info or suggestions? Also, if I need to replace a part, could you please tell me how to remove the bottom of the computer or whatever I need to remove to get at the part. I have removed a ton of screws and I still can't get the bottom open. Also, I tried removing the battery and plugging it in... still nothing, and its getting harder and harder to get the charging light to come on for even a fraction of a second... it takes lots of wiggling and manipulating the connection.
Thanks,
Chrissy

What did I do wrong?
In the Excel when I wanted to fill in the color. First, I am high light the place I wanted to fill the color in. Then, I click the arrow at fill color and click the color I chose. It did high light, but it only show on my print preview. It didn’t show on my paper. Please tell me what I did wrong, and what I need to re-do the installing? I have Microsoft Office Word 2003 teacher and students.
It have nothing to do with my printer. I got an excellent printer that print color, black and write and make copy. My question is about the Excel page itself. Why it didn’t show up in the page?
