There are two wires that come from the top of the monitor (inside) and go down into the additional memory area and they are taped together. What are they for?

Plus, my laptop won't boot up and the power LED flashes amber 8 times and then pauses, and starts flashing again.....does anyone know what this means?

I am looking to buy a new laptop. Currently, I use a Compaq R3140US. It works pretty good still, only about a year old. But, I travel quite a bit, so I want something that weighs a little less. I have a rolling bag, but still would like to simplify my life ;-)

Anyhow, I also use my laptop as my main desktop PC and use it pretty much all day. That is the main reason I went with this one. Anyhow, I'm trying to find a moderately heavy computer, with a large enough screen to work on everyday, including speed and monitor size. But, I'm also hoping to spend a little under a $1000.

Do you have any suggestions for what to look at? I have been using HP and Compaq for about 6 years and really had no problems. Dell is my other option, but not sure how the quality compares to HP/Compaq

Finally, is AMD Turion better or is Intel Duel Core better.

Again, any advice or ideas would help!

My laptop has been shuting down and not staying on.. it tells me:
- Revovered from a serious error
- Device Failure: Display driver for ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP
I have used the recovery disk and nothing happens. Is it something that can be fixed or should I just buy a new laptop? Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

Computer: Dell Inspiron 400 1GHz, 40GB HDD, 512MB RAM.
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.
Earlier my Computer was not taking this much time.. It all happened after I had to format it due to some problem which probably occured due to some virus that came through Net.. Actually I am not sure about this.

I go to a school away from home, and have been taking my home-built desktop computer to school for the last year. The spec is quite good (3ghz, 300gb, 1gbRam). But i have now been given a laptop, which has reasonable spec (Centrino-duo, 1.6ghz, 80gb, 1gb). I do alot of sound processing and some CAD/CAM work, so it is quite processor heavy.
The question is do i take the laptop, desktop or both?

I sent my laptop for repairs a couple months ago and when I got it back I had lines (down up) on the sreen, maybe 3 to 6 depending. It doesn't really bother me but it's annoying when watching movies.
Would my warranty cover it? Is it really worth the hassle of repair services? (It's still covered) You know how those services sometime take their times... and I use this for work too... err//

My laptop behaves strangely..it works only when it is kept vertically after booting.it has never fell down, if to check for any loose contact. if kept in normal position, it will end up in windows 'Stop Error' blue screen (Win XP SP2).
