On my Macbook keyboard it feels like the letter on the keys are raised up a little. Is it supposed to be like this or is it dirt?

This business of down-loading all the drivers and talking for hours to a Dell rep stinks. Can't we just pay someone to restore it to the original condition?
PS: I have never had so many troubles with my desktop systems.

I recently got a new HP Compaq laptop (6715s) and i turned it on straight away. Everything worked perfectly and i plugged in the AC adaptor. A pop-up came unto the screen saying 'AC output too low for this computer' and it refused to charge. It would charge for about 2 seconds then the message would appear. The next morning i tried to turn it on and the amber light flashed meaning extremly low battery. So i plugged in the charger but nothing happened? I have NO clue what to do- please someone help!!!

Ok...
I use a Dell lattitude D510 laptop with a intel pentium 4 processor and windows xp service pack 2 installed.
The problem i'm having is that when i try to install some things my computer starts to make wierd noises and then a black screen comes up displaying text which lasts for about 1 second. It then resets itself and once booted up and i've error reported it says there is a problem with one of my drivers. I have tried to update my drivers but it won't let me because it does exactly the same as what i said above.
Is there any way to sort out the offending driver as it's really annoying me?

its a Dell Inspiron 6000, it wont start up it says PBR2 loaded but the screen doesnt change, i can't get into safe mode and the pre-boot system assessment (build 3017) reads DST short status test on hard drive detects error. Error Code 0F00:0228, Msg block: timeout waiting for drive not busy. then repeats for error code 1 and msg block 1 onwards. Now i try and start it up its saying No Boot Sector on Internal Hard Drive, PXE-Eld: Media test failure, check cable, No bootable devie - - strike F1 to continue (which i do and get no progress). Whats the problem as i have no idea what any of that stuff means and also i just need to recover one document then i dont mind losing everything ese as the rest is externally backed up but its really really important. any instructions or estimates how much it will cost to get fixed would be much appreciated.

I have tried everything I know. Not even I8kfanGUI program will work. Since my fan stopped working I have experienced up to twelve second lags on Videos and games (Mainly Runescape). This has been going on for a year now and i am fed up. Occasionally and i mean on an extremely rare occasion the lag will stop, so long as I do not close my laptop or turn it off. But most of the time the lag stays. Even as I am writing this the text is appearing about 5 seconds later than I type it. I do not know what to do. Someone please help me. Before I had IE 7, Sometimes my laptop would overheat and shut off. If i put a fan under it the second after this happened and turned it on then the lag was gone and I could play my videos and games with no lag. But recently that hasn't happened. Could someone PLEASE help me.

My cousin became interested in laptop, wants to learn how to type, and also wants to watch some educational CDs on a laptop.

As long as it has a CD-R drive and works fine, It's fine. It doesn't have to have an Operating System because I have the one for him, but if it has, It's good too.

It doesn't have to have an ethernet port for Internet also.

My cousin is about 6 years old, living in Tokyo for his parents' business reason, and will be living there for couple of years according to his parents.

He is American, but gradually learning Japanese also.

If you have the one, know anyone who has the one, or know any place where he can get a free laptop in Tokyo, Please let me know.

I am living in the U.S., never visited Tokyo before, and don't know any place where he can get a free laptop in Tokyo, so I am asking your help.
