PLINK @#$%ing center pin in Inspiron 6000 charger snapped off by
Thomas G. Marshall
Ok, a couple questions about this.
The DC end of the charger (adapter) is a barrel connector with a center pin
that seems pretty dang thin for the job. I've always been suspicious of
that things ability to tough it out over time.
It's missing, and a small amount of it fell out of the notebook...

Phred
G'day mates,
Being one of those losers stuck with Telstra Bigpond as an ISP, and an
ancient PC (Dell 4100) without sufficient memory to run Windows XP, I find myself in a bit of a quandary...
Bigpond has recently issued an ultimatum to change to "automatic DNS"
or be forever condemned to talk...

"Critical Update For Your Dell Computer" by
Daddy[_4_]
I was out of the office last week, and someone left a voice mail saying
there is a critical update for my Dell computer. Although they left a
phone number, I didn't call back, presuming it was a scam.
Nothing on Dell's website about it, and they didn't call again, so I
guess it was a scam,...

"Dell Inspiron SmartStep 250N" with Bad Battery by
Dave Elliot

"Forced" back to XP, loving it by
journey
One of my laptops became corrupted yesterday. I was running Vista
Business on it. I changed a battery but (duh) forgot to plug it in
first, so it was an abrupt shutdown of the OS. When I tried to reboot
the registry was corrupted and I couldn't repair it.
So, I took it as an "opportunity" to...

Since replacing my Dell Inspiron 8500, I have no need for my two Dell
D-port Docking Adapters (Advanced Port Replicators? model # PRO1X) and
my two Dell 90W AC adapters (PA-10 family).
If you want them, they're yours for the cost of postage to mail them.

"Google" Sidebar in New Inspiron by

Helped my dad set up a new Inspiron (530 or 540??). I don't have the Vista

on my daughter's computer. I was surprised to see that the "sidebar" on
dad's computer was a Google Sidebar. A couple of days later I find...

the Win7 installation disk makes that contains the boot files. But on my
