Maybe something that will plug into your cigarette lighter and can plug into the existing cord for your laptop? Anything like this? Or a car adaptor for your laptop? Anyone?

K, Thanks.

I am upgrading to Autocad Architecture 2008 and also upgrading my computer. I have about a $2500 budget for a new notebook computer. Does anyone have any recommendations for a system. The only two necessities I need are a 17" screen and a 101 key key pad.

I have a dell lattitude d510, had it since dec 2005. Its not charging. And oftentimes it says 45 mins left but it in fact shuts down in 20 mins. This is so frustrating. Do i need to change batteries or is there anything else i can do to improve its power?

Hi, this will finally tell me whether the folks at yahoo answers are "all that"!

I have a notebook from hp pavilion with Vista. My cd/dvd worked fine up until the last week. Now, it will not "see" anything there. I checked it out with the device manager. It said that there was a problem. I tried everything...nothing worked. I finally deleted the driver and fully expected to be able to download a new driver. But, I cant find it anywhere.

So, Yahoo Answer Folks...tell me how or, where I can get this driver. If you can't....I will tell all that you folks are not worth the cyber time you take from us. And that your site should be deleted. Thus, if you cant answer this and provide me with the drivers....then, why should you be even available to answer anything. I say this only because I have been told that you can answer almost anything.

We will see...

I made a film on my digital camera, put memory card into card reader, cut & pasted onto my laptop and when I play it, there is no sound. I have done this 3 times and every time no sound. Could it be anything to do with my laptop being Windows Vista?

The audio from my laptop started sounding like crap and clicking a lot to bass. I thought maybe I damaged my laptop speakers, so I tried playing music through two different sets of external speakers, and the clicking was still there. I've also tried playing different audio files, and I've tried playing streaming music- same problem.

So I'm thinking that the problem lies with my sound card. I don't know if it would be an issue with the settings or the actual hardware itself. :(

I've had this laptop for almost 3 years now, and yesterday it seemed to be running fine when the screen suddenly went blank (black). I waited for it to come back but was eventually forced it to turn off (though I know it's bad for the comp), then tried turning it on again. It seemed to start fine and went to the login screen, but the screen went blank again while I was typing in my password. I continued typing it in anyway and when I hit enter, the logon chime sounded, so it seems (to someone technology illiterate like me) that my computer is turning on and logging on correctly, but the screen decided to shut itself off? I've tried it at least once more, and the same thing happened.

Thanks in advance for any help :).

I have a laptop that 'claims' it has an Intel celeron 2.8GHz CPU, but though I have minimal stuff installed on it and have set it so very few programmes run in the background (I dont have Norton antivirus or any other RAM or CPU hog) it runs very slowly and haltingly if I run more than 2 or 3 programmes, or ask it to do things that a laptop with a 1.6 gig pentium processor handles easily. I dont have any virus' and regularly run software to fix registry problems and clear internet and temp files.

I know not all processors are equal and one that a pentium that runs at 1.8 GHz is not nesseceraly better than an AMD that runs at 1.6, Does anyone know what kind of processor in pentium or AMD would be the equivalent to a 2.8GHz Celeron?

Cheers :>

Hey all,
I have a fairly old IBM T22 laptop - A few days ago I spilled a little beer on the keyboard. I immediately shut it off, turned it upside down, took a few drives/battery out, etc. When it dried out and I turned it on, all I saw was the "IBM Thinkpad" BIOS screen (with those F1/F12 options). It won't load windows (98SE) past that point.

The hard drive still works, as I managed to recover data from it. After opening it up, none of the components were really that sticky - just a few very small drops of stickiness in one place, which I cleaned up with water and a Qtip. I think the keyboard might be shot because I can't enter the BIOS screen because the F1/F12 keys don't work. I tried an external keyboard and that didn't work, but I don't think the comp detects it at that point. I'm wondering why it won't load windows-would a shorted out keyboard prevent this or something? Doesn't sound like I fried the motherboard since the BIOS screen still comes up Any suggestions on whats wrong

When buying a motherboard for a desktop, you got ATX and MicroATX (for the most part) so you can tell if it will fit in you're case. Well what about for a notebook? I'm looking for a new motherboard for my laptop but I dont know how to tell if it will fit or not. How can I tell?

Hi. I've tried linking my IBM Thinkpad Laptop to my Toshiba LCD TV via a VGA cable. The image appears on my TV screen, but the whole screen is blue. I've tried changing the resolution on the laptop but that hasn't made any difference. I've been told I may need to download an updated driver but I haven't a clue what I would need. Can anyone help? The thinkpad is running with Windows XP if that means anything.

Thanks
