I wanted to start fresh with an older laptop, so I put in the hardware disk to reboot the entire system and erase everything previously on it. The battery is no longer good, so the laptop has to be plugged in to have power. I had just started to run the disk, it was erasing evrything and then my dog ran by and unpluuged the power cord. Now it wont even start. I think I may have erased everything and not installed anything because I had'nt even put in the serial/license number yet. Is there anything I can do to get the laptop to turn on again so I can try to run the reformat disck again?

I know when I say less than $400 I can't be very picky but I think these are respectable requests...
-Light (14" or less)
-Pentium 4+
-512 ram
-40gig hd

mainly for business use but I like to watch youtube, dvds, play video games like anyone else.

I bought a new Sony Vaio vgn-c140g two days ago. It has two small problems I have noticed. First, there are dark little spots in both of the lower corners of the screen. Second, when I run it on the battery it has a high-pitched noise that isn't noticeable unless you are in a quiet room. But when you are tuned into it, it can drive you nuts. So after spending $1200 on getting a snazzy laptop, should I exchange this for another one and hope it doesn't have the problems, return it for a cheaper one and save myself some money, or just live with it?

I had some problems with an old laptop and wasn't able to use the laptop itself. I bought an adapter to connect my laptop hard drive to my desktop PC. I had quite a bit of trouble installing in properly and ended up corrupting my other hard drive. Fix'd all that, even took it to a PC shop and used 5 other methods including USB connectors to try and connect the disk. No matter what nothing seems to detect the hard drive. I'm assuming its not powering on? Maybe its dead or the needle is broken?? I booted it earlier for a split second and it seemed to be powering on but now nothing! Any help would be appreciated. Trying to recover about 20GBs of stuff, have also tried Spin Rite but obviously it doesnt help because the laptop now wont even recognize any hard drives installed.

Hello all!
I need to get a sound card for my laptop, so I can use my 5.1 surround sound speakers that I got.
However, when I was researching what my options are, I found some information that just confused the hell out of me!
First up I was looking to get the Creative Sound Card, but then this website (http://whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/338929.html) was ripping it to ****. They also talked about a Mystique Sound Card that looks pretty good (http://www.hdaudiovisual.com.au/mcpc/xmgold71.htm).
I would mostly use my speakers for blaring out music and watching movies etc.
I am in Australia so I need to be able to buy it here. I don't want to import.
Cheers in advance for your help!!!
Aisha
P.S. I am 22 today! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
