old computer acting odd by
Bill Cunningham[_2_]
My computer has been booting fine and there's no picture sometimes. I
restart it, sometimes several times. I will get words on the screen as it's
booting that are "fuzzy". IMO I think the video chip is going. It's never
really acted that way til lately. It's 14 yo. I can expect something :)

its hinge. Now I have an assortment of new problems and I don't know

should probably tell you some major things about it.
In July, I spilt a Coke-a-cola on...

Kodak Hero 3 Printer Trouble by
[email protected]
I love this printer. Now suddenly it only prints grey, whether color
or b&w. I put in new cartridges - same result. Anything I can try?
I'd sure like to keep the printer.
Thanks

What USB devices work through passive hub? by
micky
What USB devices should work through a passive hub?
My old laptop had 3 USB ports but I needed at least 4. I assumed that
it was better to copy files to a flashdrive without putting a hub in the
middle. Same for my USB speakers.

Dell Latitude adapter by
philo
Someone gave me a Dell Latitude D630
It works OK except the battery will not charge.
The power adapter is non-OEM but of the right voltage and current.
On boot-up I get the message that it cannot determine the adapter and
the unit will not be able to charge.

Hitatchi VCR Problems by
Se7en[_2_]
I bought a early 1980's-era Hitachi VCR (billed as a VTR on its
casing) and connections, dispays and buttons all work. Only thing not
working is its heads (the most important part). Putting a tape in
results in loud mechanical clanking sounds. The tape refuses to play,
rewind, fast forward, or even...
