    Do these exist anymore?

    Ok, I guess the adventure for the hard drive has ended for me. I finally found a 20GB drive and bought one on eBay for $30. Thanks.

    Do these exist anymore?

    I need the drive to be bootable with an OS, unfortunately my Dell doesn't support booting from external USB devices so I am stuck. The laptop doesn't have any form of hard drive in there at the moment so it's practically a vegetable for now. I'll keep you guys updated on my quest for a hard...

    Do these exist anymore?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 series laptop here and I need a new hard drive for it. Only problem is that no one sells hard drives for it anymore.... It has this 32GB limit with hard drives so it won't see anything higher than 32GB properly, like my 80GB is detected as 15GB or so because it has...

    Laptop screen issue

    Yup, it's a loose screen cable alright. The cable tends to get loose over time when the screen is moved up and down a lot of times. Next time, I think I'll buy a Dell, I never had issues with my Dell laptops. As a bonus, the optical drive in my Toshiba laptop is now dead which is giving me the...

    Should I drop?

    Sorry, I didn't know exactly where to put this thread. Anyway, I am not sure if I should drop english advanced at the moment. I am a C / B- range student for english advanced and I was recommended by my english teacher to drop the subject because I would get a better HSC mark if I did standard...

    Hello everyone, I have a Toshiba P25-S5093 laptop that has an issue in regards to the display. The screen still works and still displays colour etc. (I'm typing on it now), but at random times, the colours on the screen go red or I have a fuzzy display. To fix these issues, I just have to...

    Graphics choices.

    I have two graphics cards here of similar build but I am not sure which one I should use. Both are made by Abit and are based on a ATi chipset. One is an X600PRO 128MB and one is an X600XT 128MB. Which one is the better one? I am awkwardly confused because one is an XT and one is a Pro, yet...

    Sickie in an exam

    Hey everyone, I was doing my 2 unit mathematics prelim final exam this morning and about half way through the paper, I got really sick and extremely dizzy. I felt a bit strange before doing the exam, but since I was at school, I had to do it and not go home. Once I couldn't stand the...

    is there a way you can fix a RAM slot?

    The RAM slot most likely has broken solder joints somewhere. Either that or the traces leading to the slot are broken in some way, shape or form. I've fixed RAM slots before and they are a pain in the butt to fix. You need to have good soldering skills, an SMT solder station, a replacement slot...

    22" or 24" LCD monitor?

    What the hell do you mean by "fail"? I've used numerous LG display products and none have failed. I still have an LG 17" CRT still working well. When I used to work for a computer store, LG displays had a low return rates compared to the others. :cool: Uh... no. Extra 2 inches can fit more...

    22" or 24" LCD monitor?

    I bought the LG W2242T 22" LCD from MSY last month for $248. It's the most awesome LCD I've owned in ages. The last one I had was a BenQ FP937s and that was very ordinary.... before that I had a Sony SDMHS73 17" and I've gotta say that one had great picture quality as well. But If I were you...

    going to 2 unit maths

    I am currently doing extension 1 mathermatics and I find it a real killer because it is so damn hard and my marks for extension 1 maths are under average at times. I do well in the 2 unit course and I enjoy 2 unit maths because it is moderately hard and interesting at times. :) What I want to...

    New computer.

    Dell is pretty good when it comes to quality in my opinion. I still have a 10 year old Dell Inspiron laptop still kicking until this day. Its been user misused and abused... dropped etc. I also have two newer Dell laptops, a Dell Inspiron 6400 and an E1505. Both of which are very good as well...

    I need a new computer.

    I agree with michael1990 as well. It would be better if you went to a computer store and bought a computer there. Or better yet go online and buy a Dell, HP, Acer etc. They have good after service and are usually more reliable because the use good components. I see so many clients come in to...
