Hardware - September 2007

I've had my laptop going on two years now and its always been used for Internet games and browsing but now it won't even connect. I can access the Internet fine on my desktop so its not my ISP and both my wireless connections for the laptop say they are connected and the strength is good and excellent on each. Any one have any ideas on whats wrong or how I can fix it?

my laptop is cluttered with junk due to the fact we have had to rely on it while waiting for a desktop to arrive. I would like to clean all the clutter off but don't know where to start or what to take off. is there a way to simplify this and restore it back to factory settings as if it were sent from the company? Also i had asked the question about the videos not loading on my msn page and cbs.com but able to view utube etc. Nothing anyone suggested worked, it still gives me that Internet explorer needs to shut down speech, i don't know how to go to my favorites and find those links anyone suggest i delete. I know where my favorites are but i don't see the links they suggest i delete(adult links?) . I tried to download mozilla and it froze up and wouldn't let me. I know when ever i active x is needed, i click yes and it freezes as well. all issues i hope are resolved by returning to factory settings or if someone has better ideas, please give them to me. THANKS

The sound on my laptop keeps coming and going I get it back sometimes and at other times it is just gone. I can hear it if I plug in earphones but not anyother way for now any ideas? This is a toshiba. All the audio controls are on nothing is muted. Sometimes it comes back loud and clear after I clean it up think it is a virus?

The power cord and battery are brand new but the charge light is not coming on. The power cord light comes on so I know it's good and the battery was charged when I got it so I know that's not it. I called Dell and they said it was probably a hardware problem. Would like other opinons. The laptop is 3 and a half yrs old. Thanks !

I am running a YAMAHA CD-REWritable drive through an Adaptec AVA2904 SCSI card. I am running Vista ultimate, but it does not even see my disk drive, i am presuming that i have a compatibility problem between adaptec and vista!

Does anyone know where i can find a driver or resolve this problem as i cant seem to find a driver on the Adaptec website for vista.

When i use my laptop for long periods of time i will normally grab my big headphones and insert the pin into the earphone socket or on other occations i will position my portable radio up close on a table surface insert a audio disc listening to my music through the headphones.I normally work on my laptop typing up letters or just browsing on the internet in close range of my notebook with my earphones situated in standard position.Will the close range of the magnets within the headphones cause any malfuntions to arise with the metal material inside the notebook.

I was working on a project and company came so I closed my laptop computer to move it to a different room. (I was on the internet when I closed it) Usually, when I close my laptop without turning it off, it puts the computer into sleep mode. This time when I opened the laptop, it did not come back on. I have tried opening and closing it but nothing is happening. Any ideas?

Hey i got 2gb of memory and expandable to 4gb and just put in Vista... ANd the computer has been running slower. I might have bad memory and going to run a test in a little bit. My question is: if i have bad memory is it better to replace the bad memory or would it be better just to add 2gb of memory along with the bad memory?

Just bought a Mikomi 1.3MP with mic. Installed all the software etc. but cannot get the video/audio to work in sync! Also, the audio, on playback, is rather low and has an annoying 'whistle' in the background! Any expert advice?
