My Compaq Presario laptop continues to turn off by itself. I have sent it in 3 times to be repaired and they can't fix the problem.
At first I thought it was just overheating but, now I'm not sure.
It powers on when I remove the battery but, it does not power on when the battery is in place. The a/c adapter works fine. Do I
need a new battery, motherboard, laptop fan? I'm completely at a loss.

A couple months ago I was having trouble with my computer battery/cord for a couple days straight. What happened was it would be plugged in but it wasn't really being registered as being plugged in. The battery warning signal and beeps would go off, even though I had it plugged in. I literally had to hold the plug into the computer at some points, pushing it in hard so it would register the battery, then move it all around so it stayed registered as plugged in. I also noticed a very low hissing kind of sound a few times. Then it seemed to go back to normal after a couple days, however since then it still is a bit troublesome, like I may have to move the cord until it is a certain way. But then all day today it started acting up again like that time months ago where I would have to hold it in until finally it decided to show as being plugged in, and that occasional hissing noise again.

When my laptop broke down I transfered the hard drive into the enclosure thinking I would be able to get the data, but my new laptop wouldn't recognise the hard drive. I thought maybe it was because there was 2 platforms or something. But my friends laptop broke down and I put his hard drive into the enclosure and it worked! it opened up as another drive and he was able to retrieve all his data.
the only difference that I can think off is in my hard drive I used a password to access my account; my friend never had a password.Any ideas on how to get my hard drive to open?
Will I have to boot it from the external drive at the beginning so I can sign in and remove the password?

I'm having problems with my laptop. I reformatted my laptop and now I can't get my dvd drive to work and consequentially I can't install an OS back onto my laptop. I've come up with a plan on how to fix this but I thought I should probably run it by some other people first (even though I am an IT major at PCT). My plan is to buy an enclosure for my laptop HDD, install the OS using my desktop's dvd drive, and then put the HDD back into my laptop. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just got this new laptop. It's an Hp Pavillion dv6000 with vista. It has a built in webcam. This system came with little to no instructions. I have found out that you can access the webcam with the quickplay button or through windows live messenger, but it doesnt work all the time. I was able to use it this morning, but not now. It seems like it only works at random with either program. Any ideas?

Like when I watch some videos, they take some time to load. I think its the RAM, the laptop only has 504 MB of it. Should I upgrade to 1 GB?

btw, I barely bought this notebook in December.

I would use my laptop for:
1) writing (which makes me most scared if I get a Mac about the translating between pc and mac word docs which ive heard can be a hassle)
2) music and dvd
3) some online gaming
4) USB and wireless needed
5) I will probably travel a lot with it, taking it to college etc.
6) durability would be nice, my things can get the rough treatment sometimes

Does the pen run on batteries? Don't be lame and leave a link to a review website and make me fish for it. I've done my fishing, but haven't caught anything.
