Laptops & Notebooks - March 2007

I have had this HP laptop for abt 3 years now and i hadnt noticed the sound till recently. It could be normal, i dont know much abt hardware. If i tip my laptop while my hardrive is working, i hear a sound like if you tilted a cd player while a cd's playing, its almost like its rubbing against the walls of the HD. Is this normal for a laptop HD?


- Thanks for your answers! -

SOMEONE has already asked this question - and the answer was to turn off the mouse pad while you type - but how do u turn the mouse pad off?

And if this isn't the case, because im pretty sure i'm not touching the mouse pad, then why does the curser keep on moving somewhere else?

The fan rarley turns on. The computer just heats up quickly until the computer gets hot around the power up button. After it gets too hot, it just shuts down and won't turn on for a while. The only time the fan turns on is during startup, when I put a disc into the drive, and very RARLEY when I am using it.

I have a Dell Lattitude notebook (don't ask what series, all i know is that i bought it last year for about EUR1200). Two days ago my computer had flat batt, but I used it to make a short DVD presentation anyway because I didn't have the charger with me. My client warned me that I shouldn't leave the battery completely empty.

Since yesterday my computer won't turn on. I've plugged it in electricity, but while the cable indicates that there's current running through the cord, but my notebook doesn't flash the light indicating that it's receiving the electricity. Other than that my lappy's simply turned into a vegetable--it just won't do anything, period. How do I breathe life back into lappy without losing all my data? Thanks!

I am considering buying a laptop with Vista already installed.
Does it only stink if you install it on a computer that previously had another os installed? - or -
Are people finding that it works well on new systems that have never had another os installed?
