Hi I can't pick up any wireless networks in range.. and I know there are some around b/c my husband gets them on his PC. My pc used to list the available networks.. and now it says makesure the wireless switch on your computer is on. I dont even know if this computer has one. But i can't figure out what's wrong. I can see wireless connection 2 that says not connected but i don't see wireless connection 1. I looked in the user manual but that didn't help. Does anyone know? Thanks

I bought my current computer directly from Dell for $299, and it has worked great until I dropped it while trying to dust under it. I need a new one ASAP-I do not want to buy on-line and have to pay for shipping or wait a week. I really only need it to go on the internet, and I would prefer a lap top. Any good deals at Best Buy or any other chanins anyone would know about?

I've worked on other laptops with dead batteries in them that are hooked up to an AC, but it appears as though my wife's laptop (HP Pavilion DV4000) won't work unless I take the dead battery out and then hook it up to the AC adapter. Why is it doing that? Shouldn't it work as long as it's hooked up to an AC regardless if there's a dead battery in it or not, or is there something else that might be wrong? Also, we are using one of those aftermarket, one-size-fits-all laptop ac adapters because the factory one broke last year. One of my wife's students told her that non-factory ac's can overheat the computer and cause long term damage...is this true? Could it have contributed to the problem we are having now? Even when hooked up to the AC now, the screen keeps going between full-strength brightness and low-strength...What's going on?

My laptop battery is dead. It seems that the computer/ internet is running slower since it died. And I just upgraded the speed. Is it possible for the dead battery to be the cause, because it is only working off the adapter. What's the likelihood?

The manual is in Chinese. Do these laptops have a re-boot button? Sometimes I have to unplug the power and remove the battery if the thing jams.On the top of the keyboard there are 4 buttons besides the on/off. It it one of those?

I've heard that if you install Limewire on laptops it just gives you viruses and its not good....is this true? If it is, can't you just get rid of the viruses and clean up your computer? So basically what i'm asking is....can you have limewire on a laptop without seriously damaging it or wrecking it?

Also, if the answer to that question is no, what's another good free music downloading program I can use?

Thanks in advance.

I have a Gateway laptop that has had problems from the get go. Now, after playing a game (it wasn't charging) the system went into hibernation and now it won't even boot up - I believe it's the operating system, does anyone have any ideas? I will never buy their brand again!!!!!

This is my third (and now last) VAIO I will ever own! The first two were AMAZING machines. This VAIO SZ Series is less than 1 year old! Traveled the least. Minor plastic crack on the side (was told by Sony they wouldn't fix that, they called it "normal wear and tear") now when I send it in to have the DEAD battery repaired and the DEAD cooling fan replaced, I am told they will not fix it, that it is OUT OF WARRANTY because of the cracked plastic! They kept the machine for three weeks and finally returned it to me UNREPAIRD!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I seem to be at a dead end. They will not fix this machine, and it new cost me 2200$. I can buy another laptop, but that lets them not stand behind their warranty. I understand this is a "breach of warranty" and would like to know what I can do.

Hi everyone, I have brought a new laptop, have set it all up and everything, and have put Norton 360 on also. I keep getting a box come up saying Norton 360 is not currently your default phishing filter and would i like to make it my default phishing filter. I don't know what this means so would be grateful if anyone could tell me in easy terms please.
Also because i dont have a mouse with the laptop, how do i right click the screen to find properties because i want to put a screensaver on it.
Never had a laptop before as you have probably gathered so some things are a little confusing.
Thankyou for your help.

My laptop has this orange tint to the screen in the bottom left corner. Sometimes the location changes and it will be along the left side or the right side of the screen but it always settles in the bottom left. It's just starting to drive me up the wall so I wanted to see if I could figure out what it is.

-It's on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop appx. 3 years old.

my 3 year old somehow managed to remove the "enter" button from the keyboard.

I have the removed piece, which has a silver 3-sided rectangle underneath it. I can see on the keyboard where the 2 short sides of the rectangle slide into spots, but that doesn't completely fix it.

anyone know just how this works?
