Hi!

So I threw my pen at my monitor last night.
There is a very small crack on the monitor now...
Is it safe if I still continue to use my monitor?

My computer is 3 years old. I put the DVD burner in it myself over two years ago. Now it don't work. The computer is slow. I will like to buy a new new one but don't know if it would be better to upgrade. And would I be able to sell my PC or trade it in for a small discount on the new one?

My computer is a Packard Bell iMedia P806, it is around 4-5 years old. I am looking to update the memory, sound card and video card and need to know what kind of slots my computer has. And what kind of cards can be used with the mother board.
I can't find any info on this computer, tried the Packard Bell site but they only have the new comps. I also tried google but it came up with nothing. If you know of any comp info sites, or one that this comp is on please let me know!!

I've just bought a new 300GB external hardrive and since it only needs a USB connection anyone can come in and take it and possibly delete things or copy things without my permission. Is there anyway i can put a password on the hardrive so i can only get into it or perhaps a program u can download which will do the same thing???
Thanks alot!

I would like to use Logitech DoNovo edge bluetooth keyboard with more than one computer. Is it possible to pair the keyboard with two computers and easily switch between the two (similar to using KVM with a regular keyboard)?

I have a problem with my PC starting up. It claims there is no signal, i.e. monitor not connected. However, this is not true. I have checked and double checked and triple checked all connections. The monitor itself is not faulty, because if I leave the PC on with “No Signal” still displaying sometimes I come back to it n it has booted up and is at the login screen, so I know the monitor/dvi cable/graphics card are not faulty, but instead are just choosing to be temperamental.

I do not have a spare graphics card/monitor to try it out with but can anyone suggest any reasons as to why this might be happening?

Additional Points:

1.My monitor cable has got screws and they have been screwed in properly
2.I have removed and reinserted graphics card and cables
3.The PC goes straight to No Display then the monitor turns off as if in standby. It doesn't go to POST screen
4.My Monitor has its own power supply
5.I cannot start safe mode/reinstall drivers because it wont turnOn
