I bought a used LCD monitor, I unknowingly plugged in (+) --C-- (-) but it should use (-) -- C -- (+) so obviously it didn't power up, what would be happening to its own circuitry? Fried?

I do have another fitting adapter with right polarity but it is over-rated by voltage/wattage/amp, it was only a test since that belong to another device.

They look like they're on but there's no sound. I just want to be positive that there's nothing I can do before I get replacements or something. And it's NOT because the volumes' too low.

I have a cingular contract and I'd like to stay with them, but as of Jan of this year they didn't have a data card that would work on my laptop.

How do you get the mouse to turn off when the computer is shut down?

The computer is not in stand-by but shut off. The mouse and keyboard are not activated for waking the computer. I've tried all of the power control options. All options for just shut down have been selected.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

I have basically deleted all of the programs that didn't come with the computer, but still there is no space. Can I delete the windows backup utility(whatever that is), or will that ruin everything?

I posted this in the wrong section and got no answers so I'm reposting this. I was typing on my laptop when all of the sudden the key popped out. I kept trying to put it back on but the key didn't work as good as it did before. I took it off again and noticed that the little tan part under the key was broken. I examined it and tried to put it back but it would work. I realized that it's just the little tan part that is the problem. So my question is: where can I get a new piece to connect me key. If you don't know what this is I'm sorry but I don't know what to look for or what it's called. Please help.
