Hi all, I have a lexmark z23. It's a piece of crap I know, but is all I got at the moment. So here's the deal, I came home from work one day, and the damn thing said "I'm not going to print for you today." No really, the power light seems to be permanantely on. The paper feed light blinks steadilly. And every time the paper feed light blinks, it cycles the feed motor and rollers about an eighth of an inch. It aso no longer communicates with the computer through the USB port. I have literally tried everything to fix this, from uninstalling the driver, rebooting the computer, checked printer for paper jam. Nothing has worked thusfar. Interestingly enough, I discovered that if I unplug both drive motors from the printers mother board, things seem to start working a little bit. Then as soon as I reconnect them, same thing happens. I've checked the motors themselves and they're fine, so, I'm stumped. LOL, kinda' sounds like a ticking watch. Any suggestions would be helpfull.

I have a Mitsumi D63119 floppy disk drive, which I'd like to turn into an external floppy drive using a USB connection to retrieve files from and use floppy discs. I'm pretty good with computers, but I don't know what type of connection this drive has, so an image of it's connections is available here: http://www.leknifragonline.net/mitsumi.jpg.
Thanks for your help!

no matter how much I reboot. plus the screen blinks on every character I type. Its as if I can't get it out of safe mode. What's wrong with this computer besides being a relic of the 20th Century (Windows 98)

There are two question that I would like to ask:
1)I have MSI 945P Neo-F motherboard recently I unhooked it completely to check out an upgrade for the motherboard. I didn't see any difference and decided to hook it back when I realised that misplaced my manual and I hav no idea where and how to hook up my tower case to it:
Speakers
USBs
Power botton e.t.c.

If someone can walk me through it or give me a cite for a manual I would greatly apreciate it.

2) I had some troubleshooting with my motherboard befor I unhooked it. On the back at the USB port there are four lights that suppose to turn green when machine is functional. all of them except for the top right ( if you look at the back of the comp) turned red and the machine wouldn't start. I tried the MSI cite but couldn't find the decoder for the light test. If someone can explain to me what that light pattern means or put up a link with the info I would also greatly apreciate it.

Hi! I have just built a new computer with a P5GZ-MX motherboard. Everything was working spiffingly but after less than a week the display suddenly gets these columns of coloured lines through it, I can see the desktop through the lines but I am unable to do anything like move the mouse or use my keybard to shut the computer down. I have tried reinstalling the motherboard drivers, and this seemed to fix the problem temporarily, but then it came back again. I assumed it could be the onboard VGA on the motherboard, so I replaced the motherboard completely with the same model, but the same problem happens again. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
