Laptops & Notebooks - February 2007

I do not know if it is the power chord or what else it could be. My computer works with the battery in it but my battery is almost dead and it won't charge. When I take the batter out of my computer and just try to get power throught the chord it will not work at all. Any suggestions?

I just purchased a laptop and it automatically came with windows Vista. I was trying to download some games and it won't let me.
I had my friend (computer wiz) looked at it and he can't even figure out what the problem is. Should I return the laptop? Or should I take my laptop somewhere else to fine out what the problem is? but where?

Well, the problem is related to the school. Ok..my laptop had a little virus and I went to have it fix at my college campus which they fix your computers for free..about wks later, they returned it back unfixed and broken. Well, my laptop was cracked at the hinges but it was only on the left side and when I gave it to them they made it worst..broken all the way on 2 sides and worst of all they made it to a point where the computer won't even turn on. They power doesn't work anymore. When I went and talk to all the heads they have, all said that the school is not responsible and won't do anything.....they said my laptop was cracked and everytime when they open it and close it the wires could be broken which connected to the screen so it cause the whole machine to turn off and broken.They said it was a hardware problem of mine and suggest I should send it to the shop. Now i dont kno wat 2 do since ive already talk 2 all the head ppl in charge of this@ da school n they wont do me any good

Hi. My laptop broke and I took the hard drive out of it to save the vital information that was on there. I bought a new laptop but now realize I have to wipe my old hard drive to use it in the new one.

Do I have to wipe it or is there a way I can transfer that data to another location first? Thanks.

I am looking to get a lap top. I don't need or want anything fancy, just something to surf the internet and to store digital pictures. Does it matter what brand I get? I am looking for something new and cheap. I see a lot of brands, but not sure if they are all created equal or not.

I bought a new TV & a lead whic connects from my laptop to my tv basically a 15pin monitor lead, everything comes up on the tv as on the laptop screen, but when playing a video file through Real Player or Windows Media Player or other player, the actual video whch you can see on the laptop screen playing is only a purple square on the TV.

But pictures, music & everything else comes out on tv exactly as on the laptop screen.

You get the software open and the timer and title but not the actual video which is on the laptop screen.

I tried my PC and it worked fine as a 42" Monitor including playing video files such as avi, mpeg, divx???

It says 'No disc in the drive' when I insert audio cd or even blank cd. However, it's still working with DVD (I can watch movies). I don'tknow much in computer. I am not sure it's because of the drive or software.
