Laptops & Notebooks - September 2006

Two months back I was in US. I bought Dell lap top computer. I heard three cases of lap top burst. Two from Dell and one from IBM. Therefore there is no difference in its make. I suspect because of over heat the battery burst. We usually remove the battery from the dead body before cremation. I have come across several cases of mobile phone burst. Why the manufacturers should not provide heat sensors to stop the function or alert us when the battery reaches the critical temperature.

About every 4th or 5th time I power up my laptop it stalls during the boot. It never gets to the "beep" to indicate it has sucessfully booted. I have to force a shutdown (hold power button for 5 sec.) to shut it off and start over. Can anyone tell me what the cause might be.

I uninstalled NetZero, and just had a broadband install done. After the technician plugged everything in, it worked. I had to unplug it to move a piece of furniture, plugged everything back in exactly as he did, and now my computer is unable to find an IP address, and just assigns a 169 default. I tried to renew the IP, and a message pops up saying that an IP address could not be found. The broadband company said that the connections are correct on their end, and for "some reason" our laptop is refusing to assign an IP. Firewalls are also disabled. We have no viruses nor spyware either. I am stumped.

The batterys is in the laptop, and it's fully charged. So is it okay to plug it into the AC socket at the same time? Will it cause the battery to overheat or anything? Mine's an Acer laptop, btw.

I'm trying to decide between a Dell and a Compaq, and they have different processors... The Dell has a Pentium M processor (1.7ghz,2 MB cache) and the HP/Compaq has a Mobile AMD Sempron 3500+ (1.80GHz/512KB).

For those that have worked with both, which is better performance wise? Kepp in mind I really don't need it for much other than web surfing and doing school projects on. Thanks for the help!

I have a macbook pro, my keyboard and my trackpad and clicker are unresponsive. I plugged in a wireless mouse and the mouse worked, but the keyboard is completely unresponsive. I called mac, and since I have a policy, they are going to fix it for free, but I was wondering what the exact problem was, and if it is even fixable or if I’ll just get a new one. Once again, this is a Mac, not a PC. This poses a problem because I cant get into my administrative profile, so I cant change any settings. I think an outside keyboard would work because the wireless mouse worked. If someone could give me some advice, I would appreciate it.
