Hello everyone, I'm looking for a tablet. Here's my set of requirements: 1. Must run android or Linux 2. Battery must last at least 4 hours 3. ~$500 4. Screen size ~7" or so, perhaps larger 5. I do not care how much it weighs 6. I do not care how thick it is 7. 8-16GB is plenty, but the more...

The standard procedure for a notebook that doesn't turn on after confirming the AC adapter works is to: 1. Disassemble the notebook. 2. Disconnect everything. You should be left with the motherboard, a CPU, a heatsink, and 1 stick of memory. 3. Connect it to AC power and an external monitor. 4...

killerclickIf it's crap, why pirate it? If it's good, why not buy it? Because you can't always buy it. I couldn't watch Game of Thrones legally even if I wanted to. There just aren't enough options for everyone. If only they had an on-demand streaming service with no cable requirement - but...

Could be a fan and heatsink, but that's very expensive. They're probably marking up the part a fair bit.

Are you playing with the machine plugged in running on the performance power mode?

Is the machine getting very hot?

This does sound very virus-esque. Unfortunately you have few options. You can: 1. Remove the virus via another PC by removing your hard disk and scanning with with the other PC 2. Back up your data (if any) to another PC, scan it, reinstall windows on your notebook, and put the data back 3...

When games don't work, do they not work from the start or does it always seem to happen while playing - i.e. is this a temperature issue? Perhaps Windows is switching GPUs on you? Is there a way to turn one off/ set your power setting to turn one off while playing?

Yes, that's about right. It's a pretty easy thing to do, really. the hardest part will be getting the cable from the LCD chassis to the lower chassis - not all machines have that room if they didn't have wireless to begin with.

1. Yes. If you use your notebook on AC power for an extended time (days), consider removing the battery. 2. Yes.

My Windows Mobile 2003 PDA's had this functionality. Really..? I don't even. Honestly, how can these kind of court cases go through? Oh, wait, that's right...lawyers write the law for lawyers and don't have knowledge or regard for science and technology. You shouldn't be able to write...

It depends - what do you do with the notebook?

I honestly don't think disabling them will make a difference, but there's no harm in trying, I suppose. Really though, the board is the limiting factor, and it simply can't do more. There comes a time where every machine just gets too old to be useful.
