My latpop, Compaq Evo N610c, no longer charges. I have not a clue ot if it is the laptop or charger that is broken, but the charger beeps when it is plugged in to the wall. It's input is 100-240v and output is 18.5v. I have another charger for a IBM Thinkpad 600x that has an input of 100-240v and 16v output. Can I use the IBM thinkpad charger on the Compaq Evo with out blowing up or ruining something?

I am a PC user all my life, and still in junior high. I am not going to use the computer for gaming, but i do need a lot of memory, ram, and hardrive since i will be using it until college. i have plenty of money in my wallet, a deal i made is that if i pay half of the money, my parents would pay for the other half. I have $3000 which i started saving 7 years ago, so i am able to purchase a $6000 computer. Yay!! Well, I am not a computer nerd and is really confused with either to buy a mac, pc, desktop, laptop. I went many many sites about those mac vs. pc things but half says pc, half says mac. I have no idea of macs and how they work, so it would help if you explain it to me. Which operating system is better? vista or mac osx? well i dont want to go off topic, but just asking. maybe i should buy the desktop because it is way powerful than a laptop, but in the other hand, maybe a laptop because of the portability needed through high school. i am really confused. so please tell me why

I was on it and it froze, so I attempted to turn it off because I couldn't do anything. I pressed the button and the screen went black, but all the little lights on it are still on, including the one that shows that it's running on the battery, meaning it definetly is still on.
If I hold down the power button, it either or beeps or the cd drive will light up, but that's it. The screen remains completely black no matter what I do.
I did notice before it froze that it was running off the battery, even though I had the power cord plugged in.
Ahhh what's wrong with it :(

Is it just me? I'm fit and healthy, but I've noticed that when I sit with my laptop propped up on my legs or on my stomache, I get little niggles inside, best way to describe it is kind of adrenalin rush, combined with a bit of discomfort, kind of butterfly effect. It definitely only happens when I use the laptop. Is it possible that any nasties are transmitted thro from the bottom of the laptop, or am I imagining things!

I just bought this mouse from eBay. And I downloaded the software for it and it still isn't working. Why is that? I changed the batteries. It says it sees it but the pointer isn't moving. Please Help!

I inserted a usb disk drive on my laptop. I tried to copy an AutoCAD file drawn by some Japanese client of ours (in Japanese font). Then I reboot, and suddenly, it kind of reformatted itself and deleted my old user account. All files are still intact but most of the programs doesn't work anymore. I tried to use system restore but all restore points were gone.

I read about it in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if it is only sold to nonprofits, or if it is commercially available. Is there something about it that limits its use to children?

I can't find a video driver that will work with it. Can anyone either tell me where I can find a video driver for the ATI Radeon X300 which is built into the Dell Latitude D610 which will work for Windows 98 or even point me to where I can get an answer to a technical question like this if not here. The Windows XP/2000 driver from Dell refuses to install on Win98 OS. There are a lot of old programs which will not run on XP that I want to use it for (it's not for internet connectivity so security is not an issue)

I got a Compaq Presario in February 2007. I have accidentally dropped it or stepped on it and now the screen is cracked. I call the company from where I bought the computer but they said that the insurance won't cover the damages. For how much can I sell it? Also, are there any websites where I can buy the screen for cheap? Or is there a place that fixes screens for cheap?

Thanks,

Rocketpuppy2
