How are they connected to the computer? Is it PS2 or USB? Is it directly or through a USB hub etc?

If you turn off the power at the wall and wait for the lights to go out; then switch the power...

It'll only recognize the speed if this new fan is plugged into the Power Supply fan socket on the motherboard.

If you mean just small screwdrivers (as most laptops just have normal screws) then they are available at almost all tool/DIY shops - On Sony, HP and Dell laptops in particular you can use a normal...

All games produced after 2006 tend to have widescreen support; but I know what you mean. Games like BF2 are not widescreen etc.

Also with a normal 1280x1024 screen you still have a good resolution...

Well if there's option on the bios then it's probably a case of lumping it or like many others in this thread have, fixing it yourself! Try and find some specs on the fan and then just try it!
...

Maybe a lack of power? Is your PSU capable of powering your new card?

RE: the error with the bios; you should post that elsewhere as it's probably related to a hardware issue.

So simple, but the correct way of troubleshooting.

Take everything out and identify the problem - Asus mobo's seem to be particularly picky when things fail! :(

Yup thats right. It should only display the resolutions up to the native. If it allowed you to choose higher then there would be a risk of someone selecting it and making the mistake of turning the...

Well for a pricetag of ~ $440 you could get rather a lot!

You could even get a 22" LG L226WTX-BF for about $370 on Amazon.com; and that's a pretty nice monitor.

If you do really want a 19" then...

Out of that list, I would've thought the ATi X1300 would be the best bet. If you could find a PCI version of that in full form then that would do you.

Or you could upgrade your motherboard and use...

Well you could reattach the monitor, open the nvidia control panel and set the display as a clone of your laptop display. Then you could ensure that your resolution is 1440x900 simply by going to...

Flickering sounds like the backlight has died (if you can still see the desktop behind it).

What's your laptop model?

Dodgy GPU or screen connectors. Flickering is never a good sign so send it back!

-- like dogbreath says :)

When you tried the second monitor and it worked, was that with the UPS?

I'd stick with the other monitor and see whether the problem happens on that one after a while. It doesn't seem quite right...

Unfortunately I had to send it back to the service center - great!

Nevermind; hopefully it'll come back ok :)

Meh, that's a great result :)

Try a free website counter like statcounter.com, signup and they will tell you what to do.

I've used them myself for a number of commercial projects and it just saves time and provides extra...

I'd suggest finding a torrent sharing script if you're not too sure about it.

Then you would have a fully functional script, and just need to focus on the design.

Or use Dreamweaver 8 - I've found too many annoying issues with CS3!

Hadn't used IFRAMEs for a while and forgot about having to use _target. Really messed me up!

Useful reminder.

What language is the site written in? Dreamweaver will only show a design view for .htm and .html files.

Otherwise Dreamweaver has developed a problem - probably best just to reinstall it and...

Or you could use an IFRAME (embeds the content better in the page). This would always use the same menu but would make editing the pages easier.

If you could provide an example of your content we...

I just copy over the ringtones to my Sony-Ericsson and it can use those.

My older Nokia also let me do that, but preferred having smaller files so I used Switch Wave Pad to cut down the file size...

^ I'm with it's still being accessed.

My pc won't let me eject my USB hard drive UNLESS I close all programs that I was using files on. So I may have had a Word file open, but instead of just...

I'd say it was underpowered.

Okay - so a couple of things.

- You know the hard drive works? (Does it spin up).
- You have the correct connector (eg. SATA or IDE)


If so, go into the bios and check that all of the IDE...

Two problems I've had:
- The ribbon cable, they do wear out and they cause intermittant problems.
- The GPU has been shorted, or is on the way out. Had a HP laptop with a screw loose inside (don't...

Ah they're all the same!

Well chances are it's just a dead button like you said, and if so you will need to open up your laptop.

If you haven't done this before, you need to be really careful...

Has anything changed since it was last working? Any settings or drivers?

Yup, update windows to SP2 (as it's genuine you won't have a problem) and then restart.

Go into device manager if they still aren't working and uninstall ALL USB devices. Scan for new hardware...

Having worked on many Sony's myself, did you make sure that you replaced EVER niggety little ribbon cable, every little wire and every little screw?

Even if it was just 1 wire not plugged it it...

If it's a bios issue search for any issues found with the new version. It may be that there's a problem with it that would be easy to fix.

Try resetting the bios settings (you could take out the...

Yup, better to run it paired - the extra 512 probably won't be too important under XP; unless you're running Vista in which case the extra memory might actually be a good idea.

I'd try to get...

Just got a new Sony Vaio SZ660NC through the door and had it running, all's ok. Sony update works it's magic - all ok.

Reboot, and NOTHING. Power will come on, bluetooth and power light come on...
