Can you use a car battery to charge your laptop?
No It will give the laptop an overload and will wreck your laptop. Do not do it.
How do you take a snapshot on a compaq laptop?
To take a snapshot on a Compaq laptop, a person can use the web cam if there is one installed. To take a screenshot (print what is on the screen), go to the screen that the user wants to print, hold down the Fn key in the lower left of the keyboard, and then tap the Insert/Prnt Scr key. To see what the computer printed, open the MS Paint program and save the image.
Why is a laptop called a laptop?
It is called a laptop because a desktop is a computer that goes on a desk where as a laptop is a computer that goes on someones lap.
How much do you have to pay for a laptop to run sims 3?
it can depend, just find the cheapest one you can that still meets ALL of the system requirements for the sims 3 in order for the game to work smoothly.
Are the hard drives for laptops the same for Desktop computers?
Laptop hard drives are very similar to desktop hard drives, indeed they work in exactly the same way and even use the same interfaces. However laptop hard drives are designed to be much smaller (2 inches as opposed to 3.5) and draw less power than desktop hard drives. As a result laptop hard drives are usually much slower in terms of data transfer and have much smaller storage capacity than a desktop hard drive of the same year manufacture.
With an adapter it is possible to use a laptop hard drive in a desktop computer, and if mounted externally it is also possible to use a desktop hard drive on a laptop.
Can you still run The Sims 3 on your laptop even though you don't have enough CPU Speed?
Probably, although the game would lag.
Not recommend as it would lag so much that it is impossible to play. It would take 10 seconds for a Sim to just make one move. I bought a new laptop because of it (mine was a bit old and I needed an upgrade anyway).
attach the battery cables together, turn key on, put bike in 2 nd gear, hold clutch in push, then pop clutch,
How do you make minecraft look realistic?
You can download texture packs and put them in a folder. Make sure to get a realistic texture pack. But keep in mind that it wont look very real but still more real
What games can the Alienware M15x play with basic specs?
You can play any game with the basic specs, its basic CPU and video card can handle the latest games.
How do you determine the salvage value of a computer?
That really depends. Are you wanting to know how much to sell it for or perhaps determine if its worth upgrading...?
If upgrading, try to determine what it is you want the computer to be able to do that it cannot currently. For example, run the latest 3D games.
Check the mainboard's manual to see just how far you can upgrade, and then match that to the specifications of your needs.
Then check the prices for those components to determine if its worth it or not.
If you are trying to sell it, it would depend on whether or not someone else can get use out of it. If all a person wants to do is surf the net and write email, then a 500MHz Pentium II with 256MB or ram would suffice. But they could never play the latest games with it or expect it to play videos or movies with any quality.
Further, compare it to what otehrs are selling theirs for online at places like eBay or www.craigslist.org (careful, craigslist is an addicting website)
If you are speaking of salvaging something like an SGI Onyx, or Cray, well that's quite a different matter altogether. Check with the manufacturer of the machine as they often buy back those older, high powered supercomputers and mainframes.
It also depends if the computer is very old to very new.
A. the value is an exponential curve as it gets old the software and the hardware installed is insufficient to compete with a new computer. And that is the reason that never upgrade a computer if old it actually may not work. Example win xp cannot comete with win ver7. no matter what hardware you install into it.Buttom line never upgrade but spend the money when you buy a new one. Lots of RAMS and fast I/O THAT IS THE TRICK
How do you start laptop if the start push button is broken?
You can Actually get it fixed.
Or depending on how it is broken.
If only the top cover is off, you can push into it.
If that piece in there is gone, go to a local computer shop or something to fix it
:D
What are some sounds that give people information?
Speech radio waves Air raid siren Fire alarm Referee's whistle Car horn
A network card (aka. network adapter, network interface card, NIC, etc.) is a piece of computer hardware designed to provide for computer communication over a computer network.
No, acer is of much higher quality compared to an hp, according to price.
try getting the drivers for the lan card from the manufacturer. If it still does not work, buying new/more ram for your computer MAY help

How is the cooling mechanism implemented in fanless laptops?
The most common way that I have seen in my professional experience is by slowing down the operational speed of the processor inside the machine. The idea behind having no fans in the computer is to cut noise down to only that produced by the clacking of the keyboard and the clicking of the mouse buttons. For the modern computer and its performance, I would rather have the very slight noise of a fan (most are quieter than a cat's snore--and I should know since I have three cats, five desktops, and two laptops) than to have the significant performance hit.
For those who want to be trendy, go ahead and pay the upcharge for a less-capable but only slightly-quieter machine. One warning, though: be aware that there is a greater potential for damage to the machine if there is no fan. In the case of the CPU overheating, the machine may not be as capable of dissipating the heat as it would in a fan-cooled configuration. The reason being that a fanless machine also has no heatsink of any significant size (if any at all) to draw the heat away, so that means that even if the CPU's thermistor does turn off the system due to the overheat condition (and that is not guaranteed since the CPU has been slowed down and installed in a configuration for which it was not designed), the CPU will still be at its excessive temperature and not have anything to which to drain the excess heat other than the motherboard and nearby components. At least with a fan-cooled system, the CPU still has a decent heatsink that can be used to take soak up most of the heat, thereby protecting the motherboard and other surface components in close proximity to the CPU even if the fan has failed.
Depends... It is educational, a way to communicate and its convenient. (Let's not forget entertaining). On the other hand, it takes up too much time of kids lives. For example, the time kids spend on the laptop could be time to be doing exercise. I mean with technology these days, kids are leaving exercise out of the picture.
What is the cheaptest laptop you can buy that is at least 2gb?
Upto my knowledge ASUS is the cheapest laptop of 2GB.
