Hardware - July 2007

Well there is a thin yellow line (about a millimeter width) going across my monitor verticly (up and down). It is at 3/4 of my monitor to the left. I took a screen shot of my screen, checked it on paint and the yellow line wasn't on the picture so it's something with my monitor not my computer. I have tried to restart my computer I even took it out of the power outlet completely. Please help, it is a LG flatron 17 inch widescreen monitor and it is only about 3 months old.

Oh yeah, and i also have a set of speakers, I've plugged them in the right places and even remembered to plug in the plug this time, but it can't seem to turn on...

maybe that's the problem?

I bought an HP Compaq nx6320, I used it for 30 minutes and noticed that the fan below does not spin. Is there something wrong? What can i do to check whether the fan is working or not? Is there a setup in BIOS which i can set to fix the problem? Help please.

I have a MacBook, and there is oily residue all over the screen. Every time I wipe it with my microfiber cloth, it just spreads it around or makes it worse. I've even tried using water and running alcohol. Any ideas on how to remove this oily residue?

I was just wondering if it will be compatible with my motherboard and will work on my computer. I know it won't be able to operate at the 1000Mhz on my motherboard. Will it operate on 800Mhz though?

There is a huge difference in the speed. With a USB connection its 480mb/s, though with eSATA its 1000mb/s! Is there some kind of adaptor that can make my USB external hard drive connect to the eSATA port on my pc?

I saw it on the CompUSA website. Is it a good video card? Where else could I buy it? Is it compatible with DirectX 9 because I need it for Flight Simulator X?

I am so confused. OK, here's the deal: I need a laptop for college (I'll be a freshman in the fall). I will basically only use it for writing papers and going on the internet. I don't want anything too big or heavy, because I plan on toting it around a lot. I want a mac, but would 5+ lbs be too heavy to lug around all the time? I don't know. One more thing: it can't have vista. Can anyone suggest a laptop that would work for me?
