Last night I turned it off to disconect my tower and move it to another room. When I reconnected everything it only had a green light flashing in the back. No power to anything else. It worked before I turned it off. No sounds or clicking or beeps. Just a green light flashing in the back. Am I not connecting something right? HELP! Thanks

The drive is a Benq Atapi DVD+RW. When I open My Computer, I can't even see the DVD drive itself. I'm not sure what I need to do now. Do I need to find the software driver online to download? If so, where could I find that? I've tried to find it but to no avail. I appreciate it.

Lately, my battery indicator LED light (I think that’s what it is called…) on my Dell XPS M140 laptop has been flashing amber repeatedly about twice a week. I leave the laptop plugged in most of the time and sometimes it will just start flashing amber. If I unplug it and plug it in again, it stops. I even took the battery out once to make sure the number wasn’t on a recall list. When I put it back in, the flashing stopped only to act up again a week or so later.Oh, and the laptop is only a year old (of course the warranty is up...). ;)

I have no experience in anything like this, so please leave some advice in as limited of technical terms as possible. :) Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to TEMPORARILY have my computer break or crash that can then be fixed very easily by someone who knows computers? Or have some program not run properly. Anything that would require attention but can be fixed very easily

I have no money to get a new one so I was wondering is there any way to get a free old computer like a Pentium 3?
Many people buy new computer and don't use or even throw away their old one.

I know it gets rid of windows, but does it truly clear everything off of your hard drive,and make the data unrecoverable?

We had a storm lastnight. My mom calls and said her computer wont work. I stopped up and it has the screen up that says your compter had shut down do to a power outage blah blah blah (you know) then it gave you the choices of start in safe mode, start at last good configuration, or start normally and then it has a timer and said windows will start in ** seconds. Well if would hit enter or let the time run down and it would go as if it was going to start and just went back to that screen. So I took the tower and brought it home. The tower will power up but the monitor will not turn on and the lights on the keboard only flash once. So this am I went and got her monitor, mouse and keyboard and same thing. Does anyone know whats up with this?

Hi, my female single for 22 years way of fixing things is smack it a couple of times, then smack it again and if it doesn't work, but a new one. :) My puter mouse got smacked a few times yesterday,bad mouse, and I tried all the settings first but it still has trouble getting the cursor to go smoothly to where I want it and seeing as you can tell how impatient I am, would it be best to just buy a new mouse ? I tried resetting the double click and all that, still isn't working ,please help this 56 year old dinosaur when it comes to puters :)
