My kitten knocked my boyfriends laptop off the table and now the screen doesn't work.. well not unless you hit it.. then it comes on for a few seconds.
Hooked it to my monitor and everything else works great.
Any ideas on what i can do to repair it myself (feel guilty!) as home insurance doesnt cover it (grr...). Detailed instructions would be good as im a novice in fixing the internal bits.. and the only person i know who can do it is my ex.. which i dont think is going to happen lol.

Thanks!

My sister downloaded this stupid game off the internet. In order to play the game, it required that she change our screen resolution. I cnt get it back to the defualt, and it keeps giving me the reminders to check the printed or online instruction, and I cant seem to find it. She put it back onto a resolution that is definately wrong. Words are very slightly blurred, I can tell the differance/

Well the thing is i need to replace my drive and most the drives require EIDE slot. So im wondering whats the difference in EIDE and IDE? I mean are they pretty much the same? Because i just wanna make sure a dell dimension 4600 supports this EIDE so i can buy a dvd/cd drive i want, that requires this EIDE slot or whatever.

A friend formatted an external hard drive to PC format, but now wants to format it to Apple format. The problem is that the Macbook reads the external hard drive as read-only, so we're trying to format it to Apple on the PC. Any suggestions?

The "Hardware and Software Guide" dated Nov 2004 on page 121 states:
"Each notebook memory slot supports one 256-MB, 512-MB,
1024-MB, or 2048-MB DDR2 SODIMM memory module."
But the manual also states: Max 2 GB ram.
I really hope the manual is wrong due to it's 3 years old.

revealingly, their website doesn't have a comments/complaints section, but in any case they'd probs spin some yarn about the quality of the print. But why, when you want only to, say, print text in purely black ink, does the printer not work unless stocked in both black AND colour. They are not only expensive, they can also be hard to find, especially if your local shops do not stock them or you have an older or less popular model of printer. So I amnow waiting for another colour cartridge, which has cost me money, with a stack of work that cannot be printed.

Ok - I checked similar questions here but I couldn't really find anything helpful. Maybe you guys can help me.
Here is my problem:
When I turn on my Sony VAIO VGN-FS750P, on the top left corner says "No operating system found". Now when I run BIOS (F2), the system finds the Hard Disc and it says there the kind of HD(Toshiba 100GB...). I have the boot discs (re-installation discs which bring computer to its factory settings) but when I put it in the CD-rom it doesn't do anything. I checked on BIOS, the CDrom is the first on the Boot list. But still when I put the boot disc on the cd-rom it doesn't automatically run like it is supposed to do.
Now, before I order a new hard drive I want to make sure that it actually is fried before I go and spend $120+ for it.
Can anyone help me, or should I just order a new hard drive?

Thanks

1920 X 1080 is HDTV 's best resolution, yet few computer monitors meet or beat that resolution. Why is that?
