I did the heat gun fix on my motherboard a total of four times. Three myself and paid someone the first time. Each time temporary, including now. I told myself after it goes again, I wouldn't go through the effort of disassembling the laptop to temp-fix the motherboard and that I would buy a...

I have an older PIII pc that has been running the same xp installation without needing to reinstall for several years now. I am getting kind of nervous that the hard drive might give out on me and I will need to have to go through the horrors of losing years of software installation and...

I have two hard drives. One contains my xp install, the other contains the boot files, NTLDR, boot.ini and some other files I assume go along with them. What I want to do is move them over to the hard drive with the OS install so I can have only one hard drive running. I don't remember how...

Thats a bit of information you left out which would explain the high price. The system alone I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for less than 30 bucks today. But yea, if anyone has that adapter, I'm still looking.

allenpan, You sure you have your systems right?

Small Street Fighter competition at my school next week. I might as well try and have an advantage. Prize is a psp, so you can see why I want to win. Looking to pay 10$. Negotiable. Ebay feedback available for reference. ps-Any other sega video game stuff you may have and want to get rid...

You were right, it worked! I don't recommend using a plug in room heater though.... It's off, now to see if it works. Thanks.

So my problem is I wanted to clean out the dust from a computer. I unscrewed the fan, took off the brackets holding down the heatsink, pulled on it and out came both the cpu and the heatsink. The stuff on the cpu isn't thermal compound, looks like some type of adhesive, so I can't put the cpu...

I figured there were going to be a few people who had these dinosaurs laying around. Shipping to NYC. Thanks for the responses and whoever searched for theirs.

I've been wanting to cut back on my electricity consumption at my desk. I figure this would help, although I wont have it under my monitor, but instead screwed onto the bottom of my desk so the switches are facing out. This looks very old school, but it's what I'm looking for...

It wasn't a dog that broke this laptop, it was the previous owner, fed up with not being able to get a connection with the wireless, he vented the only way he knew how, with his fist at the lcd. That's the only problem I thought I was going to have, but then he tells me, 'oh yea, the comp wont...
