There are 2 ways you can send an SMS text message from your computer:
- via a web interface or via a software application that resides on your computer

How do you obtain mac address of HP Laserjet P2055dn?
Usually you don't need the MAC address directly - except perhaps to improve the documentation in a large network.
If you know a device's IP address, you can do a pingcommand; before and after, compare the ARP cache - the one that shows assignments of IP addresses to MAC addresses. In Windows, the steps would be more or less like this:
- arp -d * (this will delete the ARP cache)
- arp -a (this will show the ARP cache)
- ping ... (this will connect to the IP address you specify)
- arp -a (show the ARP cache again. Compare with the previous one.)

CPU's are usually directly attached to the motherboard or they are in a slot that is under a fan. If the CPU is broken, it is very hard to fix because they are small and are not made to be user serviceable. The best thing to do if your CPU goes out is to just go to the store and get a new one that is the same. CPU's are generally expensive so make sure that it wouldn't be cheaper to just go out and get a new computer. It also may be a good idea to just bring your computer to a repair shop and have them replace the CPU so you don't mess something else up too.
