I've recently bought a Blue Radon W310 13.3" laptop, 1GB RAM, 60GB Hard Disk, with an ATI X1300 Video Card and with a 4-cell battery. It gives me roughly 2.75 hours of battery time (with low brightness settings). I intend to increase it by searching for a suitable replacement. What will be the specs of the battery I should look for?

It is a month old and the spokes are a little bit chipped at the end of the part you put in the socket, but I really doubt that's the problem. It is plugged in but it keeps saying that it is, and it isn't. It is switching from on and off. It keeps saying critical battery. Any ideas what I can do?

Hi, I'm selling my laptop and before I do, I wanted to clear all my personal files/information from it. Does anyone know a good software that can completely clean my laptop up? Basically I want to leave all my Programs on there, however, I want to get rid of my History for Windows files, Internet, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I'm looking into purchasing an old laptop just to do papers on and connect to the internet in my school's library. I've read that I can get a wireless card or a usb wireless adapter to connect to my school's wireless network. What's the difference? Thanks!

If I format my hard drive, that means My windows files willl be gone. And since I don't have Windows XP Media Center's CD, how will I be able to format and re-install my windows on my computer?

If you must know, I have an HP Pavilion dv9000t Notebook. Does BIOS contain your Windows so you can re-install them without the CD?

Here's the deal. I have a laptop and it keeps having these crazy problems and I have no idea where there are coming from. Possibly viruses I am guessing.

Anyway, I hope someone knows a bit about techincal problems like this. I was on my computer the other day and it started making loud clicking sounds and then froze. I hard shut it down, then i started it back up. The intro screen comes on but when it gets to the Windows start up screen there's nothing, it's completely black. I attempted to reboot the entire system and restore windows but when I do the black screen comes up, it saysit is connecting, and finally i get a message that says "Operating system not found." There's no disk that came with the laptop and I'm trying to not go back to the tech but I will if I have no other choice. Anyone have any tips I'd really appreciate it.

I was thinking about MacBook,Sony Vaio, or Dell inspiron.I'm getting rid of my stationary PC so I will have to make up my mind soon. To be honest I mostly use the pc for web surfing, bit of web designing ,dvd's, making music (not professional) , and some gaming.So I know that all that stuff like dvd's, music etc can do on all of them , but what about gaming?? Im not spending much time playing, but once a while I like to spend few hours gaming. So my question is what would you recommend within my budget (maybe som other brands) and where best to buy it .And alsow what do you think about buying laptop in USA , and sending it to Uk ( web site based shop like apple or ebay.com) thanks for any suggestions

so when I turn it on the computer turn on for a split second and then the screen goes blank. Then I wait and press the power again and the screen goes on for a split second. But it seems like the computer has been on while the screen was off since the page now shows the loading screen. Then the same happens for the entire loadup and when the computer loads up. Email me at ballstar393@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

Thank you.
