I have a line that runs about 3/4 inch left to right at the bottom of my iBooks screen. It seems to be caused by pressure from the hinge that connects the screen to the base. I think I may have opened and closed this baby too many times. Just want to know if others have had this problem and what u guys think. Thanks, Mike

I sent my laptop in for repairs. When I got it back my internal speakers no longer work. I checked the volume, up all the way. Headphones DO WORK, so I think my jumper came off but I don't know where to find this on the mother board. Any ideas?

COOL SAVINGS told me on 8/5/06 that I had won a laptop computer from them. I was reading my e-mail on yahoo and they said I was the nth person to hit on their site. But 1st would I please do a survey. I though fair is fair, I try to live an honest life and am guided by integrity. For 2 hour I thoughtfully answered all their survey questions. I even made 2 purchases. Those thieves disappeared after the final question was answered and I have not heard from them since. I have been in contact with a local Philadelphia news station (major network) and they ae going to start an investigation. They will feature Cool Savings and other offers like the one the I was the victim of. Their consumer affairs reporter is enthusiastic about it. I have since asked Cool savings to make amends and they ignore my request and still send me their crap. As a search engine (my favorite) I feel you are somewhat responsible for allowing them to lie to people and when I ask for them to never send me e-mail.

I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this, I've been researching for several months and have come up with zilch, but I thought I'd give this a shot.
Whenever I turn on my computer (Toshiba Laptop 2535CDS) Win98SE I automatically get a screen that says running Microsoft Registry Checker. It gets past the first screen and then to the system.dat blue screen and nothing. It will not load windows and freezes there.
I have gone into safe mode and disabled the option at startup, I have lowered the memory to 16mb. I have gone into the prompt and tried to do the smartdrv, but nothing. I get the Himem.sys is not loaded. Check the Config.sys file for a device=himem.sys. I tried loading directly from the disc that came with the laptop, but it does nothing. I made a WIN98 boot disk and that did not work either. I even tried installing a new OS and it wouldn’t let me. Anyway, I would REALLY appreciate any help with this.
ps. I know I need a new computer, but I need help fixing this one

This is my last Macbook question I'm asking, since I'm getting it this week. But I need one more expert opinion, since I've gotten great feedback on the Macbook, OS X browsers and the Leopard in previous weeks. Since there's so many decisions to make, from prices $1100- $2500, monitor sizes 13" - 17", colors black /white, and the computer itself, I can't decide. So I'm asking you to give me full details on what you recommend for me, MacBook or MacBook Pro? Any pros/ cons, advantages/disadvantages? The difference between the two? Whoever gives me the most information gets 10 points for Best Answer, and the computer with the most votes wins and help me decide this week. I've realized this has been asked for.

Plus, when talking to Apple Support this weekend on my Netscape problems, they've recommended me to get the External Firewire Enclosure? Does anyone know what this is and how I would benefit from it? I know you have to pay extra for it. I have an External Disk Drive. Is that enough?

Trying to figure out how to speed this sysytem up. I tried stopping all programs from start up but it just seems to slow the system even more and now i am just trying to get it back to what it was. Any suggestions? main problem is that programs keep freezing up, i.e. IE, messengers and the like. I am tired of the problems on this computer. My other comp works fine and speed is great but this one just slows even more with each day that passes.

I am currently in the market for a new computer. My budget is under $1000. I want something durable, that I can use w/Adobe Creative Suite. I will mostly use it for school and the internet. I know a bit about computers, but not enough. Any advice would be most welcome. Specifically I am looking for: brand recommendation, specific specs I should look for, etc.

Thank you.

I have a Toshiba Equium M70-339, it is only a couple of months old.
I have to remove the battery and use the power pack to use the laptop. Has any one else had a similar problem?
I suppose I'm going to make a trip back to PC World for a replacement!!!

Compaq Presario V6030 AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual Core TL-50
Dell Inspiron 6400 Dual Core T 2050 with 1.60GHZ 533MHZ FSB

Toshiba Satellite A100-SK8 15.4" Intel Centrino Duo T2400 1.83GHz Laptop

These are the 3 laptops I am looking at buying, Dell looks good, but can I get service for it in Asia?

Toshiba looks good to, but I don't know if they service in the Philippines, I know it is not the best place for service, unless you are in Manila.

As for Compaq, I know it is owned by HP, but again how reliable is it in the Philippines. Too many options on laptops, so I would appreciate anyone who has owned one of the above laptops, and their experience with the service departments, also which one is most solid, I know Dell had to recall batteries made by Sony. Also, is there anyway to find out my FSB speed, I have tried without any luck, also AMD seems to have a high FSB speed, how important is it in regards to total operating.

I want to buy a Dell notebook and I wanted to finance this using a Dell credit card. I applied for one on the website yesterday and was told that there had been an error and that I should try again later, use a different payment method, or contact a representative. I decided to try again later. I tried today and got the same "error" message.

Have I been rejected for the card and they're just trying to be polite in some way or is it really, truly an error?

I wasn't sure what number to call for Dell to ask them, so I thought maybe someone else would know. I just checked my credit report from Equifax and I have no black marks. I always make payments by the deadlines on cards I do have so as far as I know, I have good credit. The only thing that might negatively affect the application is that I am a 19 year old student (but I don't have any educational loans).

I use Firefox so I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with it if it is an actual error, but I don't trust IE...

I am shopping for a notebook and am looking at basic entry level ones to supplement my desktop which will be used as the primary computer. Most of the entry notebooks are running around 2GHZ processors. My main use for the notebook is basic office applications and internet (including video streaming). I won't be using the notebook for gaming or video editing etc. The entry level notebooks generally come with 500 RAM. Is that enough or should I upgrade and if so how much would you rec? TIA
