My mom needs a new one but isn't sure which brand to get.

She doesn't need crazy features, just one that's reliable and lasts.

Thanks :)

Do I just need to send it to Dell and have them re-apply the keys or what? But there are a lot of documents I have stored in there and I don't want anyone to see it...what do I need to do?

My dv1000 lap top has a broken LCD. I found a part that fits it and before I install it, Do I need to download a driver for it?? I am not sure how things work when replacing an LCD screen. Any advise would be awesome. Oh and I have it all taken apart and all I need is screw it in and connect the wires.

I seem to have a problem with the charging circuit of my dell. Dell support tells me I need to purchase a new motherboard. Is it at all possible to charge a dell battery without the computer, because the computer will work when the battery is charged, it just won't work with the plug, and the plug won't charge the battery

I promise I will give a best answer tonight if anyone can help.I just asked a little while ago how to hook up a printer to my laptop. I have a router and wirless internet. I have a desktop hooked up to my printer now. I followed all the steps people hae told me. I copied an example of a response on the bottom. I get to the browse part, and it searches for the printer and nothing comes up. I set the desktop to share the printer like everyone said. Does the printer software need to be installed in the laptop? Both computers are window xp...I am so close to being able to print on my laptop. Please please someone help me with why I cant do the last step...

very easy
1 - On your desktop - go to Printers
2 - right click on the printer you want to use
3 - on the menu select properties
4 - In Properties click on the Sharing Tab
5 - Click Share This Printer then give it a name.
On your LapTop
1 - Go to Printers
2 - Add A New Printer
3 - Browse...My laptop cant find the printer here.

Hello
I recently recieved a Dell Inspiron 4000 second hand as a gift. Its hardly been used so I was excited. However when I connected it to my ADSL. Nothing was recognized. My IT friend checked it out and he says the LAN is broken. Im wondering i on this model I must replace the whole motherboard or simply fix the port

Any Help would be appreciated

I have been told it is easier on a computer to leave it on all the time than it is to turn them off. I have left my PC on 24/7, till recently when I was told he would wear out faster, and I should turn it off when not in use. Also I have a laptop, not very knowledable regarding laptop, other than using it. PLease tell me should I leave a laptop on when not in use, or should I turn it off when I've finished using it. I have left it on for days, plugged into outlet, but haven't since I have heard of them catching on fire. Thanks to any computer wizard who knows there stuff and can give me solid advice in the area of my question. Thanks in advance.

In order to load Sims 2, I need a newer computer, so I've found a Gateway. I know that the Sims 2 requires this:
If you have a T&L capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM then you need at least:
800 MHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
If you have a non-T&L capable video card (an Intel Extreme Graphics or a Radeon 7000/VE Series) then you need at least:
2.0 GHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98, or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
And here's what this Gateway I'm thinking of getting has:
15.4" WXGA TFT display,1.6 GHz Intel Celeron M processor 420
80 GB Serial ATA 5400 RPM hard drive,512 MB 533 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM,DVD R/RW/DVD-ROM/CD-RW/CD-ROM combo drive
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950,Integrated 6 in 1 memory card reader,Integrated Intel 802.11 a/b/g wireless networking
Centrino Duo mobile technology.Will this work

Hi there, I am trying to get an external monitor connected to my laptop. I have a VGA port, which seems to be defective - not showing any image, just blank screen whatever I do. I was thinking of a possibility to connect an external monitor using s-video output which works just fine when I connect a tv. Is this possible? I don't seem to find many adaptors around. Thanks in advance.
