OMG! The cord has been acting funny this week. It has to be inserted in at a correct angle in order to power my laptop, and I smelled something funny just a sec ago - and I pulled the power cord out - and the end of it was smoking (the little yellow tip is kinda black now)??? HELP!?!?!?

I am trying to find a laptop for basically downloading music and surfing the net. Not too much gaming (maybe the occasional monopoly). It doesn't need to be crazy technically savvy. How about 256mb, and 40gb?

Hi all i have a laptop that i use for world of warcraft and my processor is a: Intel Core2 Duo T5600(1.83GHz/2MB L2Cache). I was wondering would there be much of a performance difference in gaming if i upgrade to a Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0GHz/4MB L2Cache)? Or would it just be a waste of money?

My laptop periodically goes through stages where it is very slow, and the hard drive activity light is solid, not blinking like it should be, but completely solid green. This problem usually happens aroudn midnight each night, but also frequently occur in the middle of the day. Any help would be appreciated. I have a Dell Insipron 1200 if that helps.

Like a lot of other people, my Dell notebook tries to install the Sonic Update Manager and ends up telling me to insert the disk and when I click cancel it tells me to use a valid copy of UM.MSI.

I've tried to follow the Dell Support site: downloading and running the hotfix from the Sonic/Roxio site and utilizing the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This has not worked and I'm going out of my mind.
