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.

It's not thermal compound, it's a hard type of dried paste to keep the heatsink locked on like a woman knowing she's got 20 years of child support coming her way. I don't think I'll be in any trouble, but it's something I really don't want to deal with. Any suggestions?

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...

any ideas?

I purchased a gateway mp8708 from a friend recently knowing it had some hardware problems. The problem that has me scratching my head is the issue that the computer can run off the power adapter, but unplug it and leave it to run off the battery, it goes dead. So I don't know if it's the...

http://www.geekbb.com/showthread.php?t=494 Demon, I'll look into bootvis, it sounds interesting. With the above trick, there is a moment where security might be an issue, it does take a few seconds to kick in so I wouldn't recommend it for a work place. But this is basically what I was...

Basically I want the pc to "lock computer" upon starting up. I don't want to walk out the room and then find a family member using myspace and having to throw them off the pc. But at the same time since it is a slower computer, I don't want the wait twiddling my thumbs for windows to load when...

I'm using a slow computer at the moment, so when I start it up I want it to boot up and log in to windows but at the same time I want it to be password protected. Let me rephrase that, I want the computer to load up my stuff in the background while the password prompt exists. Maybe it's...

I have a working geforce 4, but with a broken fan. I don't need a new card at the moment, so I would like to be able to repair this one. If anyone has a broken/non-working card that is taking up space and you would like to get it off your hands, send me a pm and let me know a price for...

There's got to be someone here with the exact setup that I'm looking to achieve. Anybody?

I'm looking to take a spare lcd and be able to use it to watch some tv and hook up my consoles to, both new generation and old, so I'll be requiring a multitude of inputs. When I want to test old console hardware that I just bought or just try out a game that I've got the itch for , I want to...

iseedeadpeople, thanks for the response, I'm in the US. I would like to be able to hook up any old console that I have laying around, whether it be a ps2, or a 16 bit gen console to play a game that's been itching me or to test any consoles that I would be selling and need to make sure they...

Heres a couple more that I found: Hori Up scan converter 2 Upscan Converter+ TV Micomsoft xrgb-2plus xrgb-3plus Anyone have first hand experience with these? The Hori one's look decent, and wont make as big of a dent as the xrgb. If this discussion would be better suited or more...

Thanks for the responses. As for aim, it's an added layer of knowledge that they would have to know and be familiar with. Many of the patient are in their 50's and 60's and may have a harder time grasping the technological curve compared to the 20 and 30 year olds, so they need to keep it as...

I posted this previously, but with the database outage, I never got to see if I received any replies. A family member who works in a hospital is looking for a service that will both send text messages to a patients phone and the patients would be able to reply with the messages appearing on the...

I'm looking to take a spare lcd and be able to use it to watch some tv and hook up my consoles to, both new generation and old, so I'll be requiring a multitude of inputs. Does anyone have any first hand experience with any of these boxes out there? Something like this, except that this is a...
