I know that it's possible to have an ink cartridge refilled, but is it the same for the printheads?

Ok i have an older pc i am repairing just to see if i can do it. I recived an error message that said "fan failed shutting pc down in 5 seconds." The pc has only 1 fan in it, and considering it smelled seriously burnt, i ordered a new one from new egg. I got the new one today and added the heat compound and installed it only to get the same pc fan failed message. Now what??

Ok, I bought a PCI graphics card for my Dell Dimension 2400. I know that the graphic card is the slot that the monitor plugs in, but I guess my PC has an on board graphics card? Now I have this new graphics card and have no idea how to connect it into my PC. Any help would be great, I just hope I did not waste money on a graphics card I can't use.

I turned on my monitor and the screen is noticably shorter at the top. I've messed with the monitor controls and I cannot get it to display anything above the file edit tabs. There are also light blue lines trailing down from the top of the screen.

I was wondering if this was my monitor dying or if it was the video card. Thanks all.

Hello there,

My computer has been running brilliantly for a while now. Last week however, I turned it on and it came up with a problem saying to "ensure that the power to the graphics card is connected".

I did just this and it was connected and continued to not work. Then... I took the fan off the processor (suspecting this as the problem) and then made sure everything was ok with it. After doing this, the computer then booted as per normal. I found this weird but ignored it...

Then yesterday, I tried to turn it on but it wouldnt boot. Everything turned on inside (fans, HDs etc) but nothing on the screen.

I suspected the CPU again and bought a new one... to no avail.
Then I changed the video card with another and still nothing...

Is this the case of a cracked or dud motherboard??
The green light is still on the motherboard however, when I try to turn it on.

I have tried taking out the RAM and HDs one by one but still nothing...

Any help is appreciated.

i am currently running a nvidia 7600gt on a pentium 4,1gb ram,epox motherboard with a 300watt p.s.u
howvever after enquiring with nvidia customer care,they advised me to increase my power supply,i knew the p.s.u was a bit on the low side,and i have managed to get my hands on a ctk 400watt psu
my question is "will changing the p.s.u affect the operating system or bios in any way",
the reason for the bigger psu is some of my games were stuttering using the smaller 300watt p.s.u so i presume the 7600gt was being starved of power so will the 400watt psu solve this problem!
cheers guys!

The school I'm going to requires students to have laptops, so I have to get one before school starts. Our school provides maintanence and stuff for three computers : -

Acer TravelMate 2484WXMi
Fujitsu Amilo Pro V3505
Fujitsu Lifebook T4215

I am also considering an Apple Macbook, and I want your opinions and / or advice on which one to choose. I am a PC user btw.

We can order from school (but I won't be doing that), and the school-ordered computers come with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint Access and Publisher from Microsoft Office 2003, so if I'm getting Mac, I'll have to get them too, and I heard it's much more expensive so the MacBook will need lots of considering.

I would also like to know if you guys have any good recommendations as well. It would be the best if the computers are from Acer / Fujitsu because the IT department would most probably know how to fix the brand of computers, in general.

Your advice is very much appreciated. :)

Thanks for the help.
