I have a dell inspiron b120 and i need to replace my screen. I saw on the internet (ebay) 2 screens. A 14.1 inch and a 15.4 inch. The 15.4 inch is glossy and clearer, so i am leaning towards that. But, i have a 14.1 inch screen right now. Would both be compatible? Could I buy any lcd to replace mine?

Hey, I just bought a 8600 GTS and reading the reviews and benchmarks for it, it actually seemed like a good graphics card. But I just tried playing some games with it and it's terrible! I can't even play Halo 2 on low resolution and low settings.
I was wondering if it was because of my other computer parts. I have:

amd athlon 3800+ 2.52 ghz (single core)
asus a8v-vm
ram that I don't even remember the brand or make of but it's 1gb

It's pretty crappy but I'm waiting for Barcelona to launch so I can upgrade. I just did a 3dmark06 score and it only got 2500 and it says that out of the people who have the same graphics card as me, mine scores in the lowest category.

btw when I did receive the graphics card (the firs ttime i got it it was damaged so sent it in for repair) it had a transistor broken off so instead of waiting another 2 months for repair I soldered it back on. Would this be causing the crappy frame rates or is that because of my cpu, ram..etc?

Thanks

i recently asked about the greenish tint that my screen aquired, after moving. first i'd like to thank martfuncer, he got me on the right track. all i had to do, was unplug the computer again, so it would reset the degauser. then there is this person,(his label was i'm fruity) that said i'd need to get another computer. he obviously dosen;t have a clue. thanks to the people that know what they are talking about

I use Windows Media Player to try to burn or copy CDs onto my computer. However, it never works. The error window says "Windows Media Player cannot rip one or more tracks from the CD." I can't figure out why. I have tried other CD burner downloads, but they didn't work either! I have tried many CDs, but none of them work. If nobody can answer the question, please give me a good free CD burner.

I am fixing a (TFT) PC monitor at the moment, I think this piece may be a capacitor; I'm not sure.

Here is a picture: http://la.gg/thmb550/DSC00011.jpg

Also, could someone tell me the "power" of it, it had the writing 18J 3KV on it. Thanks!

My comp won't play any disks at all. It had been playing cd's, dvd's and games before but now it acts like there's not one even in the drive. I've tried several different disks and even cleaned all the disks.
