blank screen sometimes:why? by
Frank Howard
It's about my second-hand Dell Laptop.
(Latitude XPi-CD). It's worked fine
for a year.
But, recently the screen will stay blank on
powering up.
Sometimes also color is skewed to red on
firing up.
This can be cured by switching off and on again.
What is a good fix for this trouble?
Any help...

Dell pricing... Website versus mail out catalogue by
JBL
Every month I receive a glossy catalogue (yeah, weird spelling eh!) in my
mailbox from Dell. The prices in there are CHEAPER than Dell's website.
I'm not sure what the deal is. I think the website prices include freight

John
To the first question. They do both charge at the same time.
