Picked up a Dell M1210 and runs great. In removing the battery, noticed two small open areas with circuit boards... What are each of the areas ? One is filled with the BCM92045 - Bluetooth - the other area is empty - -- ---------------------------------- "If everything seems to be going well, you...

this is very weird! i have an inspiron 6400 running XP sp2 that is working fine in every way, except that i just noticed that the battery is not showing up as being installed. when connected to the AC adapter or not, the icon in the system tray always shows as if it was connected to AC. the only...

Today, I had to replace a motherboard on my main PC here. The replacement had the same chipset, so in some respects it was a no-brainer. As one might imagine, when booted for the first time on the replacement motherboard, Windows re-established all the PnP data previously kept in the CMOS of...

They work when the monitor is connected to my Dim 8400 but aren't working when connected to the XPS 420 running XP SP3. The light on the various USB devices I've tried is on, but the device it's self won't work. The correct monitor is showing in Device Manager. I tried the update driver...

Should there be lights (indicating the drive is busy/working) on the optical drives of the XPS 420? It's hard to tell on this computer but it doesn't look like it. Monica

Recently bought an XPS 430 with 1Tb single drive installed. Can this system take a 1.5Tb as a second drive (2.5Tb in total) or am I limited to 1Tb drives (2Tb max)? Thanks

I got warning when I turned my computer on yesterday morning of a "low battery voltage". I am assuming this is the small battery on the motherboard. What is the proper procedure to replace it? Is it as simple as just switching it out? Brad

I need a bit of advice. I'm replacing my video card in my Dim 8330. I currently have a PCI card and am replacing it with an AGP card. Question, to replace the card, do I need to uninstall the PCI card first, shut down, remove the PCI card and insert the AGP card and restart. OR - do I just shut...

Received my 1530 on Tuesday. Spent most of that day loading apps and getting files over. Then the drive started dying - clickity-clack. So I used Acronis Home 10 and imaged it (Vista 64 Home Premium). I've used both my CD of Acronis and the USB drive I had the image on to rebuild a 1505 the...

E1505 with Vista Home Premium recently stopped sleeping and waking when the lid/cover is closed or opened. Sleep works fine on a timed basis and when Fn/Standby is pressed. Control Panel--Power Setting--"What to do when closing the lid" was verified and reset to sleep when the lid is...

I've never been into (or understood) RAID. My soon-to-arrive Dell XPS 430 has, and I quote, "1.2 TB (2x 640 GB) Serial ATA (7200 Rpm) Dual HDD Config Raid 0 Stripe". All I want is two independent drives that I can partition as I want. When any new Dell pc arrives here, I DBAN the drive(s) and...

Ok checking max ram allowed, crucial.com and Dell web site says 4gigs but Kingston.com say 8gigs. Which is correct?

I d/l this free s-ware. It seems to have a good reputation. I ran the reg cleaner and it found 950 errors. I'm hesitant to have it clean the registry. Should I (after doing a sys. restore and data b/u)?? I've had no computer problems.

I'm looking at the dell mini 9 semms light, cheap and functional at 2.26 pounds. The mini 10 & 12 are a bit heavier. Is the Atom N270 acceptable or is it underpowered for office/web/email?

I downloaded the latest driver for the Dell 2007wfp monior. It came as a zip file containing 3 files - ..cat ..icm ..inf What's the correct way to install these files? Where should I put them etc.

We had (still having) bad weather last night and my satellite service was down and wasn't able to get Brian's reply. Went ahead with the reinstall of XP (sans the Matrix Storage Drivers) Reformatted the drive Install went fine When I got into Windows I installed the following: Chipset...

My nephew asked me to look at his XP-MCE XPS machine after a "friend of a friend who's an IT tech" messed with it after an apparent virus attack. As he describes, the problems started when he tried to play an downloaded video and WMP (apparently) requested permission to download a new...

I am considering a SSD drive for either my Lenovo ThinkPad T61 or MacBook. The one that seems to have good reviews on Amazon is: http://tinyurl.com/cpoxf6 Any opinions, any better recommendation? I want more speed and better battery life, but I don't want to be on

Saturday, I got a blue screen with a PFN_List_Corrupt error message, powered down the computer (to restart) and when I did, it revved up like a jet engine. I'm sure it would have (literally) blown up if I hadn't reached the electrical plug in time! Smoke was coming out of the back of the...
