What I mean is, can you clean your LCD screen without worrying about damaging the LCD since there might be a screen in front of the LCD itself?

My laptop is lifeless, no lights, nothing and will not turn on. The power supply is working as is the outlet it is plugged into. I have not dropped or spilled anything on it. There may have been a power surge even though it was plugged into a surge protector (no the company who makes the protector does not offer insurance). I have tried all of the taking out the battery and letting the computer sit for a while and trying just with the power supply, no luck.

Is there anything else I could try? If it is the motherboard does anyone repair motherboards or do they always need to be replaced. Thanks.

Hey all - I updated a Dell 4600 from 256 megs to 1 gig via 2 512mb DRAM - specifically KByte 512MB PC3200 DDR DT (3200/2700 PC400/333) 184 PIN DIMM - and I'm getting thermal shutdowns after doing the upgrade.

So, did I:

1. Choose the wrong memory chips?
2. Screw up when I put the chips in?
3. Unrelated/other?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know of any PC hardware out there that allows you to get a high def signal into your PC via hdmi, dvi, or component? There are plenty of PC tuner cards out there that will take coax, s-video, and composite inputs, but I want something that I can get those hi def signals from a set top box. Any ideas?

Hey...whenever 'check disk' is performed it stops at 45 percent of stage 1 of 3. And say 'file segment 77880(something like that) is unreadable. And then nothing happens and I just restart the computer and skip disk check. So what's the problem? And how do I fix it. Please help. Thanks.

It's not top of the line, but it should do me fine for the moment, Do you think it will be able to handle Vista Ultimate ? It comes preloaded with Vista Basic ?

I'm not a huge PC gamer at the moment, do I don't really need top of the line....I'll be using this laptop for web browsing, music, school work and the occasional pc game although I'm not going to go nuts over every game out there ?

All in all what do you think ?

This will do me fine until I purchase a Mac Book Pro some time next year hopefully

Regards

my other laptop brokedown and I have installed o2jam in it a few months ago. When we have it checked, they said that the problem is on the motherboard. He did not say what exactly is the problem on the board. I don't know if o2jam is the reason why it broke down. Does playing games like o2jam in a laptop a lot of times cause the board's breakdown? what do you think?

My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad R60. It has 1GB RAM and 80GB hard disk. When I install Linux on it, It boots from Linux Bootable CD. The Linux can not detect the hard disk and gives an error message "no hard disk found where RedHat Linux could be installed. As soon I click OK there, the machine reboots.

I create graphics and it is important that I have good color. I found out that most people see the colors that match my desktop's coloring, not to mention that photos show on the desktop match items in real life. My laptop softens them, so a hot pink shows more subtle and more purple, a lemon yellow shows tan. How do I change this? I'm also running Vista HB.
