Hardware - June 2007

I had gotten a new PC lately and wish to transfer my data out of my hdd from the old PC. But had realised the USB ports arent functioning properly. The old PC doesnt have a RW drive. Is there any ways for me to get the data out of my old PC?

One night i was on the laptop and i accidently turned it off (the power cable is a bit dodgy) when i went to restart the laptop the screen was blank however there was a very thin blue line down the right of the screen, whilst booting this is all i saw, there was no picture or anything.

Also while booting i pressed F2 to see if i could see anything in the settings to fix it and there wasn't anything, i could see the settings on the screen though which makes me think that it isn't the screen that has gone.

Any ideas if this can be fixed?

Thanks for your time.

I have a HP 2015AP aka Compaq Presario V2000.
I have just put in 2G of RAM but feel it's time to upgrade the rest.
I want to get a bigger processor, hard drive and update the vid/graphics too.
Which of these are upgradable and how do I tell them apart from desktop items when buying online?

I have a Raptor in my system and I like it a lot, I just don't like how loud it can be sometimes. What is a good and inexpensive way to reduce its noise while keeping it in the 3.5 bay?

My LCD Monitor has 2 missing pins from the inside of its cable that attaches to the video card. However, I did not think that the missing pins could keep the screen from working. Is it? I have switched out different graphic cards but no picture shows up on my monitor. The monitor does not have the warning "Picture not found!" or anything on the screen. So, missing pins to blame or something else?

I'm not that much of a gamer, but if I purchased this laptop, I'd want to maybe get a few games, such as Counterstrike Source. I've customized an hp computer with a Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo T2350 (1.86GHz/ 2MB L2Cache) Processor, 2GB of memory, a 160 GB hard drive, and a 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400 Graphics Card. What is the most powerful type of game I would be able to play, and are there any recommendations for what I could do to get a better performance for gaming at an affordable price?

I accidentally knocked my processor off my desk while it was in it's tray. The tray popped open and it fell on the floor and bent a maximum of 5 pins, maybe less. I haven't had the chance to test it in a motherboard yet, but I straightened the pins out. Did the drop kill the processor even though only 5 (or less) pins were slightly bent? I really hope not...

Thanks!

I currently have a Dell XPS 410 Core 2 Duo E6420 processor that has 2.13 GHZ and I just upgraded the RAM from 2-4GHZ and the operating system is running Vista home premium.
In July 07 Intel is releasing new chips and they are offering a Core 2 Duo E6850 which is rated at 3.0 GHZ for about $270.00 Will I gain much speed from this upgrade and will it be noticable? Also is changing out the CPU as easy as adding RAM and will my current mother board except this new chip as well? Thank you so much for your time and expert guidance with my questions.
