I have a toshiba satelite. This is the second chord i have tried, i understand that the computer needs to be taken apart and them something re soddered where the ac addapter goes in. It was working for a while when i put in it crooked or not all the way (had to work it a little), but now is not charging it at all.

Im wondering if there is a temporary fix for this. I cant really take it anywhere right now. Is there some kind of metal i can slip in there, or foil or anything... just looking to see if anyone has done it before. Thanks

It's annoying have a million (8) black cartridges since it comes in the (8) color set. Then I have to buy the black (5). Why can't it use the black (8) cartridge when it needs black ink? What is the (8) black for anyways??

I am upgrading my graphics card and was after some recommendations for an upgrade.
Current system:

AMD ATHLON 64 X2 6000+
2GB DDR2 Ram
ASUS M2N-E SLI
ATI X1300 PCI-E
Windows Vista business 64bit

I have upto £70 to spend and was looking for a card for gaming (Mainly World of Warcraft) and would like to be able to add a second SLI card in the future.
Was thinking of a Geforce 8500gt but have read some bad reviews.
Would be grateful for links to any reviews of suggested cards.

Thanks in advance

I was wondering if there's a way to get a performance boost for the standard pc user outside of buying a new processor or ram, as I am close to max for this system. I saw on a few websites that companies like sun microsystems are selling pci coprocessors and I was curious as to whether i would see any difference with something like that installed

I know it's conserving the battery, but sometimes I don't want that. Sometimes I want the screen to be bright even when the battery is being used. Thanks. I could not find the option in Power Options.

I bought an HP900 3 months ago and now realize I need an all-in-one printer instead. What would be a reasonable discount I can give my buyer? What would be a good cheap scanner/copier/printer in the market that uses cheap ink cartridges as well.

A woman had a similar problem and was given a url to copy and paste. I worked for me as well. This drive works fine on other computers,. i.e., library, work etc. so it is not defective. The url doesn't work any more because the site changed. please help.
