Laptops & Notebooks - September 2007

Does anyone know where I can get a laptop under $400?? At RADIOSHACK there's a COMPAQ for 5, but I kind of want one for 4 at the highest.
I don't need serious storage.. But a good amount anyway.
I'm not a big gamer, or anything.. mostly just for the use of the net (likeY!A & Limewire, etc.) so it has to be wireless compatable..

Anyone have an idea of where to look? (It would help if you gave me a specific name of the 'top and a place to buy it. also, a website with reasonably priced 'tops would be ideal.. Thanks all!

Okay, so I am having issues booting my laptop. I am assuming (after doing some background reading) that my ram bitten the dust. I also spent about 2 days finding out that the 2nd ram slot is conveniently located under the keyboard. I have accessed both slots (finally). However, before purchasing new stick(s), I need to know if both slots need to be occupied with a stick. And, if not, which should I but a new stick in and which should I leave empty. Currently, I have 2 X 512 MB for a total of 1 gb. I am unsure how to test which (if either to be technically correct) one or if both sticks are bad. Someone please help!

looking at the dell xps 1330 and wondering if there is a significant difference between the core2duo 2mb/1.8ghz/800FSB processor and the core2duo 4mb/2.0ghz/800FSB processor as to jump up in processor is an extra $200. Also the xps comes standard with the uxga ultrasharp screen but you can upgrade for $150 more to the LED screen. the webcam goes down from 2.0mp to 0.3mp but it is supposed to be much lighter and more power efficient. any thoughts.....

I have a sony vaio VGN-FS395VP from 2005 and it seems to be locked or something. When i press the on button, it turns on, you can hear it work, but the screen stays black and there is no sound, which is an indication that it is not the screen that is dead, but something else... I would say it is somehow locked. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW DO I UNLOCK IT, OR IF IT IS IN SOME OTHER WAY BROKEN, WHAT DO I DO... THANX

i have purchased the new keyboard, but I am unsure of how to go about removing the old one. Do you go in from the back or is there a way to pop out the keyboard through the top of the laptop?

I have a friend (not very close though) who wants to sell his laptop. It's a compaq presario V 2000, and he's selling it for 300 dollars, but without a battery.

First Do you think it's a problem if I buy a battery seperately? I have heard that the value of this kind of hardware is in the battery more than anything else so it's a waste to spend 300 bucks on this...Is it true?


And two, how do I know the memory capacity of the laptop? It doesn't say on it... I checked online and nothing says how much memory it has. So if you know, what is it, and how good is this memory considered??


Finally, what's the average price for a brand new one of the same type and brand ?

I have a Toshiba Laptop that was unplugged for a while and when I tried to to plug it up and use it there was a RTC battery failure on the screen. Common for not being plugged up for so long. This laptop was in working condition, but the fan had stopped working so I stop using it.

I just replace the fan and the RTC battery. The RTC Battery required for me to almost completely disassemble the laptop. I put every thing togeather, and put it on the charger until the next day. The power is working, battery is fully charged, and the fan even kicks on, but the screen is not displaying at all. It is pitch black as if it is not receiving any power. The Screen was working until I did repairs, so I am think that I have possibly forgot to hook something back up. I made sure that I was grounded, so static should not be an issue. Can't figure out what I have missed. All help is welcomed.

Thanks
