Hey all, I have a hardware question. I have a laptop that might be overheating, the reason I say MIGHT is because I don't really notice much of a performance hit when the computer starts to get hot (yes burning hot).

My system BIOS (which cannot be updated any further), does not actually list a core temp, or anything else that has to deal with the measurement of the software.

My question is, since the heat seems to come from the BOTTOM of the system, does anyone know of a type of hotplate (basically i would put the system on the plate and it would give me a readout on the temp) that I could use?

I would personally like something that interlinked with the system in some way, since I am a computer programmer I was thinking I could make (or even download if programs exist to shut down in cases of extreme heat) a program that shut down the system when it reached a certain temp.

Any advice would be helpful.

Please do not answer with advice on how to solve the overheating problem, as

My old laptop is so dead, it won't even switch on. Is there any way that I can use my new laptop to get hold of the information stored on the hard drive of the old machine.

I am getting a new computer. I read that to transfer my files from my old computer I need to link the two computers with a null modem serial cable, which plugs into the COM port. I can't find a COM port. My laptop has a phone jack, an ethernet port, a monitor port, and a serial port, as well as USB ports and pc card slots.

My wife got this new laptop for school. The thing is, when you open it up and either start it or awake it from hibernation, it plays this annoying (and loud) sound! I've tried everything I can think of to kill it (setting all the sound events to 'No Sound', muting everything), but nothing works. Something must, because it's bound to annoy others in class. Any ideas?

I've been having trouble turning my Dell Latitude D820 (yes, a dell) on and off. It seems that the button under the power button is defective. I've talked to dell about it, but they just sent me a panel with a new power button (i.e. not what I needed). What should I do?

I've re-loaded the OS several times now, and it just doesn't seem to work for more than a few hours before it fries again....New Hard Drive seems to be a logical fix....(correct me if I'm wrong!)

Is this a complicated extraction and replacement, or a simple one? I'm pretty good with this kind of stuff, but I don't want to open up a can of worms, you know?
