When I turn on my computer the light that is supposed to come on doesn't. I can see my background and all of my programs when I shine a flashlight at it. Everything else works. I tried restarting it and letting it sit for a few days but I don't know what else to try. I can't afford to get it checked out right now so I want to see if their is any way I can fix it. All sugestions are appreciated.

Is it really true or just theories?
Does frequent use of UPS degrades its performance and quality?

I need to clear the cmos on my toshiba satellite m65-s809 but I do not know how to do it. I thought that there might be a set of keys on the keyboard that clears the cmos but I am unsure. I thought it might be a set on pins and a jumper on the laptop but I do not know where the jumper and pins are located on the laptop( and I do not want to tear the whole thing apart ). Anyways thank you for your time and I appreciate it.

The screen on my Gateway MX3210 laptop , approximately 18 months old, "died" - blacked out.

When I unplugged it and hooked it up to an independent monitor, the display appeared correctly on the monitor. Then I was able to toggle back the display on the laptop.

However, when I plugged the power cord back in, the laptop's display once again went black.

So... running on battery is okay and I can use the laptop's display. Running from the power supply causes the laptop's screen to go blank.

There are no apparent signs of any burn in from being kept on a single image too long.

And yes, I did re-start.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Ive got a few laptops that are just FILTHY. I cleaned with alchohol, but theres still tons of dirt/hairs/crap inside. I took out the keyboards, removed all the letters, and ive been scrubing them with knapkins wet with alchohol. Its hard to get at some of this crap. And the motherboards are full of crap too! I was going to buy some compressed air cans but there expensive and apparently not reusable. It just hurts to have to spend money on air. Whats another good but cheap way? The vacuum cleaner is just to big...

Hi, I downloaded the demo like a week ago. Played it and was very laggy. So I turned down a lot of the stuff and turned off a lot of the stuff and turned up the refresh rate and all that stuff. I see a pretty big difference, but I still lag if I look at the big buildings and really graphic parts. I don't have a great graphics card, but I would think I would see better performance. When the Call of Duty 4 game comes out... will it be less laggy than the Demo? Because mayb they are still working on it. And are the maps in the Call of duty 4 not as graphic as the map is in the demo?

PLEASE HELP ME!

I have an old windows xp laptop. I reinstalled my os alot. Then, it became unstable. I have a Blitzz BWP712 PCMCIA Adapter/card. I need IE 5.5 or greater for the driver. IE6 setup needs to connect to internet to set up. I tried dialup, dial-up networking wont open. So, I tried downloading my netzero client and it says 800x600 resolution required to set it up. It won't let me change it above 640x480. When I had windows xp it worked with 1280x1024 even! What should I do?

Okay so I'm looking at two different memory options for memory on my sony laptop.

1) G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel
2) G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel

YES, they are both the exact same, except for one difference. One has a CAS latency of 5, the other one of 4. And I am aware that lower CAS means faster computer operation. With that being said, my only criteria is price. The kit with the lower CAS of 4 (faster) is $70. The kit with the higher CAS of 5 (slower) is $55.
Links for the two kits:
CAS Lat. 5: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820231116
CAS Lat. 4: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E1682
Which one should i go for?! Does the overall performance gain from a lower CAS latency justify the price? Will I even see a difference? Please let me know. I believe I am extremely knowledgable in computers in general, but I seem to have a gap in this field. Thanks.
