I was trying to clean out my sister's laptop by pulling out some keys. After cleaning the spacebar key, I tried to place it back, but two of the white peices that holds it together snapped in different places. Now, the spacebar is loose on both sides and wiggles around. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks

I do not see it ever flash on the black screen with all the computer information.. it goes right to the black screen saying that. The computer monitor flickers badly also-even while in the bios settings. I swapped monitors-same problem so I know its not the monitor. I swapped the power source with a new one-and it still does it. When I try to start the computer using a windows xp pro cd-even though i have home(no cd) and when it gets to the repair.. i see a dos like screen flash a bunch of things.. till it gets to the c/ prompt and stops. I try running fixboot and it comes back to the c: prompt. When trying to run system restore it says no hard drive found.
This computer is only 13 months old -yet one month past warranty so it's not covered. Everything I have read is pointing to a bad hard drive but its hard to believe it would already go bad. Also,I don't understand the flickering monitor. Have tried even plugged the computer using new cords to new outlets.Any suggestion

I'm trying to save $$ to get my dad a dell laptop for Christmas or his next birthday. One of the features he wants is wireless internet so he can go anywhere and have the internet. I went to dell.com to customize the laptop and I came across 3 things: "Wireless Router" "Mobile Broadband" and "Bluetooth Options" Do I need all three of these in order to have wireless internet on this laptop? Also, theres' a section on "Docking and Monitor Solution". What's docking for and I thought I already picked out a monitor, why are they asking me again?

The system hung and refused to shutdown or restart. So I removed the battery and replaced it. On pushing the power button, all the lights come on but nothing happened. And no, it is not a monitor problem or a hardisk or processor (it has a intel M) problem. All 3 are working perfectly.

I have a laptop compaq presario 725US model. I would like to sell parts of it. It is non-working condition (I couldn't turn on it). I think that it might be battery problem.

However, I'm pretty sure that DVD drive, hard drive, the screen, ram and key board are working.

I've been looking at these two laptops and after configuring them similarly I notice there is about a $1000 price difference between the two systems. I noticed the graphics was a little nicer on the dell (512MB - GeForce Go 7950GTX) as opposed to the HP (512MB - GeForce Go7600), but that doesn't seem to make up the price difference. Is there something (e.g., motherboard, cooling, etc) that makes the dell worth so much more?

It needs a new motherboard and a new pcmcia card. The computer repair store is charging me $271.00 and to be quite honest, I'd rather get a new laptop than pay that much, it's almost 50% the laptop price.

Oh, and that is $271.00 plus $50.00 I had to pay as a 'diagnostic fee' as if I already didn't know what was wrong with the computer.

Any recommendations?

I just bought Flight Sim X. My comp is an 'E-machine. It is capable of running this software, but it won't. It keeps giving me, Your Virtual Memory Is Too Low. I have dumped anything I don't use, defragged, and restarted. There must be some kind of folder or file I can empty or delete to get this thing going. No, I don't have a memory stick and no, I'm not about to spend any money.
Please, help me. I am standing by.....

. I have a Toshiba Satellite L25-S1216 laptop. I have never had a problem with it, and I've had it about a year now. Last night I was using it earlier, and then i put it down like I usually do. Later that night I went to use it again, and I just lifted up the top, and a message (a black screen with white letters) was on the screen and it said something like "windows could not start up because the following is missing or corrupt:" and then it had some kind of a code. I just pressed the space bar, and the message went away, but now the screen just stays black. I turned it on, and it will turn itself on, then off, then on again. Does anyone know what is going on, and how i can fix it??? thanx for your help!

The battery seemed to have died and refused to charge. I bought a new one and thats ok but what is the protocol? Do I use the battery for a while and then plug in to charge or has the battery got to be run down completely before charging?
I can find no instruction with the laptop nor with the new battery.

Many thanks for any help anyone can give

Best regards

David
