Laptops & Notebooks - August 2006

Ok heres my problem. For some strange reason my laptop doesnt recongnize my CD/DVD drive. Its built in to my laptop, but when I go to My Computer, its not showing the CD/DVD Drive. I even tried going into Device Manager and scanning for new hardware but it didnt pick up the CD/DVD drive. Is this a hardware failure? I cant replace it because its built in to the laptop, my only choice would be to buy an external CD/DVD drive. How do I fix this problemPlease help!

My router came with McAfee Wireless Security. Should I use it? If so should I put it on the laptop or the desktop that the router is hooked up to? I hope this question is clear enough to understand. Thank you in advance.

So my Powerbook has developed this problem where it will just shut down into 'sleep mode'. It's as if it runs out of power, but the battery will indicate that it's at 90% or higher, and it will be plugged in. Sometimes, when it drops into 'sleep' mode, it will 'wake up' when I push a random key, but will then shut back down within 5 seconds or so. Eventually, it will be stuck in 'sleep' until I detatch the battery and unplug the adaptor, forcing it to turn off. Then, when I turn it back on, it will often shut back down before even fully opening.

I've tried the method of unplugging/removing battery and holding the Power button for 5-10 seconds. Didn't help. Apple wants to charge me $50 to talk to them for technical support. Do I need to send this in? Anyone know what's causing this?

Any help is appreciated. This is the most annoying computer problem I've ever had.

despite what i'm doing on my computer, the screen often turns black and flashes sort of. if i look closley i can still see the screen as it was; i never loose any information. if i close the screen and reopen it the color is restored. also sometimes if i tilt the screen on my notebook in a different direction it will work better. what could be the cause of this? also it will go for long periods of time and be completley fine...it's very random.
