We recently replaced a pc lcd monitor brand philips 170s. No broken glass, it just turned white all of a sudden. I was hoping for some extra cash on this for a wedding. Where can I sell it and how much to charge for it. Last option would give it to any goodwill store to be fix and reused. But I still want to sell it even for $50 bucks

I'm thinking of having them install a graphics card for me?

Any issues, problems or concerns pertaining to Geek Squad?

Thanks,

i bought an hp laptop 2 and a half years ago w/warranty and it started acting up. About 6 months ago, i brought it in for overheating they sent it back with a broken hinge on the screen.
i had to bring it back 3 months later because it overheated again and the battery was dead and audio jack was loose.

they "fixed" it and sent it back w/o ever fixing the audio jack and it still overheats & now i have ghost images on the screen & the scroll pad freezes & instead of the screen lighting up when the power jack is plugged in, the screen dims.
i brought it in again and told the manager that the problem is not getting fixed and that the laptop smells like burnt glue and he told me i must not be using it on the right kind of surface. i told him i have a portable thing that holds the laptop and his response was for me to get a cooling pad, but the fans on he computer work fine. Now the computer will not boot up.
Am I wrong for asking for a new computer? It's only been sent in 2 times.

my laptop says vista compatible and i bought a windows vista home premium upgrade package. My laptop has a sticker that says vista compatible but i was wonder where out of 100 would it be for running good with the vista installed.
eg. 50/100 = minimum---- 100/100 recommended

The specs are:
intel celeron m410 cpu,
1.46ghz,
1gb ram,
128mb intel gma 950 graphics card,
15.4 inch screen,
wireless built in,
dvd-rw,
usb x3,
500mhz bus speed,

What mark out of a hundred (can be given in %) would it get as being recommended???

I have one and it is a very good computer, and I've never had any problems with it so why is everyone hating on it.

Ok... so my new i-Pod Classic ONLY works with the new itunes 7.5 which ONLY works with computers that have XP or Vista installed. I have a piece of you know what computer with all my MP3 files on it and you guessed it... Windows 2000, and since my i-Pod won't be recognized on the computer, that is pretty much useless to me. So now I want to transfer my MP3 files from that computer to my new XP equipped laptop. My IT dude says to get a memory stick and that should work... will it??? Can a memory stick transfer MP3 files easily from one computer to another? Help... please?

My laptop has been broken for awhile, since it won't take a charge from a wall-charger because the motherboard is loose. I'm curious if there is a way to hook up a laptop to another computer, to use it's power supply, because I want to back-up some files before I get it fixed.

The 7 pin header is simply labeled "power". Testing with a multimeter reveals that pin 5 is ground (going left to right). There is 735 ohm to pin 1, 732 ohm at pin 3, 708 ohms at pin 4 (respective to ground). All other pins read open. The board contains an advantech "system on module" with 64mb of ram.

Besides 100 dollars, that is.

I'm a mostly casual gamer - I don't care about having the best of the best, but if it's definitely worth the extra money, I don't mind getting it.

Though I'd rather buy a monitor that's a few inches bigger with that money. :)
