Hey All,

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted. Anyways, I have an HP ZV6000 series notebook PC. I received it from a friend and it had several keys missing on the keyboard and was...

They probably would save your data, but, they charge extra and from the few times I buy parts from them I think they charge more then some of the machine are worth. I think your better chance would...

My adapter is keyed so I can not plug it in backwards. I Believe though, that pin one does go towards the jumpers.

DaMoogle - How old is your laptop? Is it under warrenty? My thinking would be to...

How much computer experience do you have? When I get a laptop in my shop I usually take the hard drive out and use a special plug I have that allows me to plug the hard drive into my desktop computer...

Laptop hard drives are the same physical size. But this depends on the age of them to. I have an old pentium 1 toshiba which I scraped for parts but the hard drive was still good. I decided to make...

Well first off, I'm not really sure if you are trying to run linux on the cd or trying to install it. If your trying to install it, it's probably not a good idea especially if you data on the hard...

ok Problem solved... I think. I tried the power settings. Of course, they didn't work. Not long after I changed them, windows crashed, again. The second fresh install of windows, nothing else but...

Hi,

No nothing shows up in the logs. I did not try the power settings in windows. None of the systems are on UPS. I will look in the bios and the windows power settings. Thanks for the info. I'll...

I finally got my webserver back up. Unfortunatly, it keeps droping the connection to my router. I have changed the NIC card from a Linksys to a D-Link. I changed the cable. I switched the PCI slot...

lol yea I didn't know about that trick when mine went in the T22. I learned about it long after the fact. IBM shouldn't of sold their PC line. I'll never buy another one from them again! Time to look...

Just go to ebay and search T22 I usually get 13 pages or so of parts, accessories etc.

Your hard drive is definently fried. I had the exact same thing happen to my IBM T22. I got it for xmas. A few months later, the drive blew. I was lucky to get my data before I couldn't boot it at...

I personally cannot stand HP's (not to offend anyone who does). I fixed an HP for my buddy one time I think it was a ZT1000 laptop. Machine wasn't even a year old and the screen was failing. I like...

I just recieved a Compaq Persario desktop. I believe it's a 5000 series.
specs:
AMD Athlon 1.1 ghz
128 megs of ram
60 gig hard drive
16 meg Nvidia graphics card
dvd-rom
cd-burner
Windows ME

Try a different hard drive. I recieved a T22 for christmas and a few months after my hard drive failed and made the machine do all sorts of weird things. But IBM was quick and had a new drive to me...

lol yea I know. I'm 14 and 1/2. But my original thought was that there other sites out there like www.freemarketri.org but they do everything from appliances to furniture. I didn't know if there was...

I know you guys are going to probably think this is a stupid question but I am a teenager on a very limited budget. Are there any "swap" sites out there that computer "geeks" like myself can swap...

Don't buy an HP. I personally cannot stand them. I have worked on a few of them and HP Pavilion and an HP vectra. The Pavilion had a really small power supply unit (PSU) which got hit in a lightning...

add more ram and ditch 98. lol. I am not a windows 98 fan. I have had to many problems with it. If you switch to 2000 or XP they find almost all your drivers XP should or will find all and you need...

5 and 1/2 years old sounds like it could be a pentium 2 possibly a pentium 3. I have no experience with AMD so if its AMD i'm not sure what it would be. But depending on much RAM (random access...

Hey all,

Went to a local computer show with a friend. Working on building him a ccomputer. Any ways, he got hold of an HP pavilion 7850. The machine had been caught in a lightning storm and the...

I am not a real big fan of HP for personal reasons and for the way their machines are built. I had an HP pavilion 7850 come in for repair. The power supply was a wopping 124 watts (sarcasim) which is...

Same here, I have an IBM ThinkPad T22 haven't used my desktop much since i've recieved the T22 at christmas. I belive most of the IBM laptops (please correct me if I'm wrong) have some type of like...

Ok I'm sorry if i put yet another thing in the wrong forum lol. Do you guys know anything about Beta Testers? I ran across this link (link below) to HP's website about prduct testing. How old do you...

What Program can I use to view my desktop from a remote computer via the internet? I am using a free program called I'm InTouch. When I log on via the internet to see my desktop It's extremly slow...

check the power plugs on your drives. i bought a cheap case at a trade show for 27$ w/ a 300 watt psu and free case fan and the power supply was nothing but problems. the pluags wore out and I ended...

I just bought a powmax tower case for my computer. It has an LED fan and dual blue bars in the front along with another LED that changes colors. my question is that I leave my machine on all day will...

check the proccessor. I had my PIII 450 do the same thing and come to find out the proccessor was just about out of the socket

change the ram. make sure the jumpers are set for the correct processor and ram on the mobo (motherboard). Having the wrong ram can hang you up. and also the jumper settings.

I have never had a problem with any asus board other then the one my dad fried because he got a faulty power supply. I have been running and asus p2b-f and an asus p2b mobo and never had a problem...

I had a machine that did this once I was getting ready to do a slide show for my sister's 6th grade graduation and at the time I did not have a laptop. I got up to the school with my mom and tried to...
