Laptops & Notebooks - January 2007

The enter key on my dell inspiron popped off for seemingly no reason whatsoever and I can't get it back on. Its got a thin piece of wire that fits into too small holes, but when I slide them back in it still wiggles and eventually comes off again. Does anyone know how to re-attach them?

I have an old Dell laptop which runs Windows98. I last used it 2 months ago and it was fine. Now when I turn it on it reads "no hard drive". I put in the recovery CD and it says "Setup can not continuue. It does not have a hard drive, your HD is not functioning properly or your missing a special device driver.

I have no idea how to check or test a hard drive. Dell's support does not support this 8 year old PC.

Any idea's appreciated

When I try to "Safely Remove Hardware" for my SD card, Windows almost always pops up with a notice that a program is using it, even though there is no program that I can find that would be using the card in the taskbar or anywhere. Why does this happen? Is there a way to avoid this problem?

OS: Windows XP Pro
Computer: Dell Inspiron 700m laptop
Card Reader: Internal card reader included with laptop

im trying to choose between these

-HP Pavilion dv2000t -- i like it because the price is very decent and it already has a built in camera and mic (its also less than the macpro)

-Dell Inspiron E1505- i like it because of centrino.

-MacBook 1.83Ghz

so which one do u guys recomend out of the three?

I recently purchased a Dell D620 for college. I also bought the extended battery it is a 9 cell supposed to last 7 hours. For whatever reason, it doesnt seem to run nearly that long. Probably only 2 hours at most when all I am doing is surfing the internet(not watching any videos or burning anything. Can someone tell where I can adjust my settings and what I should adjust them to so it will last longer. Any help would be great and by the way I have only had it for 5 months. Thanks in advance!!!

hi, i have an aspire 5100, and it has a big problem. >< it has an integrated microphone built - in. but it is not working well at all. i have to be in like almost kissing distance in order to make it to work, and the recorded sound is like a "DISTORTED COMPUTER FEMALE VOICE". this is the biggest problem for me.......... so i thought the built-in mic has a problem, but then i tried a working microphone, and i connected it to my laptop, the recorded voice is still a distorted female computer voice the only difference was the built in microphone was much softer. is anyone also having the same problem as me? only im the only unlucky one, i've has some issues with this laptop earlier, but when i bought it, i jux never tried the mic until now. So please give me some useful advises. i've already tried a lot of volume and the microphone boost and stuffs. plz help me... thank you for everything.

I have a Dell XPS laptop, which has an insanely loud fan, especially if I'm doing anything draining. Can anyone suggest a good liquid coolant system, and at what price range am I looking at? Also, if you know any affordable non-pci video cards, would be appreciated. Thanks...
