Consumer Electronics - 2 July 2007

It gets hot very easily. This is for a Dell laptop. I can't leave it unplugged for long, as the battery life is only 4 hrs. And without this computer being on, no other computer in my house has a connection to the internet. And believe me, no one would appreciate me telling them what time they can get online, cause we have alot of projects we do for school, work, and our church. I really don't have the time or patience to rework our network. It was hard enough getting a computer with XP networked to one with Vista, as the instructions for doing that were pretty vague. So my question is, is there anything that wouldnt be harmful to the cord or equipment that I can do to keep it from getting overheated? Or are their new adapters I can purchase that do not get hot so easily? This is the one that originally came with this laptop. Thanks!

There have not been any ill effects from the adapter getting hot so far, this is just as a precaution

Just had digital (cable line) phone hooked up and need to buy a really good quality home phone with answering machine.
Need at least two additional handsets.
Is the clarity better with digital?
Thanks for all answers.

I have just gotten my first pay as you go cell phone, a Nokia6061. The battery ran down yesterday, and even though it has been on the charger, it is still dead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If so...how do you work it? I turned my bluetooth on and made it search for nearby devices and it's not finding the h700.

Been looking for years, it feels like, for a simple answering machine for home use. One is worse than the next. I know people are using e-answering systems & the like, but I like to let people leave msgs and see the blinking light to remind me to check. Anyone have any luck with a particular one that I can still find out there? Thanks!

I have Sprint right now and I have 1 year left on my contract. I can terminate my contract for free. I also have an ipod that I use a lot.
Should I sell these and buy an iPhone?

Thanks for looking

I payed for this mobile faceplate from Hongkong and its been 12 days and I still havent received my item. The seller doesnt reply my emails. I was just wondering just incase he's planning on ripping me off, whats the worst thing I could do to him if he doesnt send my item. By the way I have been using eBay for a while now and this has never happened to me before.

I'm trying to help my girlfriend find one that is less than $400 and shoots high quality pictures quickly(short delay between button click and taking of picture). She says that she does not care about the size and would prefer not to have one of those flat cameras. I've been looking at:

http://www.cameraforless.com/itemdetail.asp?itemid=1856

this site and refurbdepot.com seem to be selling this camera for cheap, but is either a trustworthy site? thank you for your help

I was just curious - why the numeric pads on PC and the keyboard on calculators are a total opposite of the phones? I mean, in one #1 is on the bottom, and in the second one #2 is on the top? Sometimes when I work too long with a numeric pad I have to find the numbers on my phone. Can we ever have it similar so it is not confusing? Thank you for all your input.

VERIZON WIRELESS REALY GOT BAD, DO YOU AGREE?

Nearly all big corporations are now making a profit on you ringing, for example Vodaphone is 17p a minute. The local police are also an 0845 17p a minute job. May I suggest that you vociferously complain, refuse to ring rip of numbers, do not ring the hospital phone at 50p a minute, ring the ward, tell them you are overseas, this activity should be stopped, if you discover that you are dealing with this sort of agency then find out their real number, ring their emergency number, or change supplier. This is underhand theft.
