Hi, I have problems with my Armada 3500 display. Its very temperamental and getting worse. Depending on the position of the screen (the laptop lid) the display is OK or at worst a horrible pink colour. There's either a loose plug connection or a break in the wire. Can anyone direct me to...

My notebook is Compaq Presario 3017cl. I have a battery charging problem. It appeared a few months ago. My laptop couldn't run on battery power, even if it was indicating a 100% charge level.

I have a Compaq 7360 (an older computer). The only thing I've have ever done to this computer was to install more ram. It worked fine for a couple months and then one day the computer wouldn't boot. I see the compaq logo and see the computer checking the memory. That's it, it just stops after the...

My daugther has a Compaq Presario R3000 notebook. It came with an integrated Broadcom based mini-pci wireless-G card. Because I use an Atheros based router (DLink Di-624) I would prefer an Atheros card. The speed is much higher when Atheros to Atheros rather than Broadcom to Atheros. I have...

I bought a deskpro P3 733mhz with 16mb onboard agp graphics 128mb ram. I am running xp pro on it but the graphics stutter. Thinking that the onboard vga was not up to the job I installed a TNT2 M64 16mb PCI card but get the same thing. If you run dxdiag it shows the bouncing square stuttering...
