HP Omnibook Xe2 LCD Screen half out by Gary Seven
I bought my mother a secondhand HP Ombibook Xe2 last year. Big mistake. After a few weeks the left side of the screen is out. If I squeze the bottom part of the screen it might come on, but after a while that stopped doing the trick. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

Help Revive my Dead Presario 4814 by gdkucera
The kids' Compaq Presario 4814 has no power. When I plug the box into the wall outlet the fan turns for about 3 seconds then stops. I'm wondering if it may be the power supply. Anything else I should consider before spending $71 for a new power supply?

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the processor in my Presario (currently a 1.7GHz Celeron) and was wondering if anyone else had done this? As I understand it the best I can get is a Pentium 4 with a 400MHz bus speed because of the i845 Intel chipset, this seems to limit me to a 2GHz processor. There...

I actually don't quite remember how i managed to get that combination running, but I am quite sure it involved resetting the system to it's default values using the System Management Boot Disks.

I have a Compaq Presario 1600 XL-145 running Windows XP Pro. This may seem quite odd, but it shutsdown whenever I use the T or the Y buttons on the keyboard. It doesn't do this when I hook up an external keyboard though. Would this mean that the keyboard is going bad or is there something...
