How can you install Ethernet in your laptop for free?
Unless you actually happen to have an Ethernet adapter lying around, there is no way to install it "for free."
Laptop and PDA support IrDA which devoce is no longer needed traveling?
You don't need the PDA cradle.
I use to have this problem all the time on my laptop. Eventually we had to switch providers. You can try making sure you are receiving a connection and then diagnose the connection. That should tell you what is wrong. Depending on what the answer is will determine what you need to fix. Try seeing if your IP address is still functioning. If you have another computer with internet access, you could probably go to your internet provider's website and get on a help chat desk to talk live with someone.
How do you downlaod music to cell phones from a laptop or computer?
Depends on your phone type. Some phones let you copy and paste, but others you have to make an account with a certain company. I.E. Itunes. I could tell you how to hack your phone but apparently that might be saw as bad advice sorry.
How can you damage your laptop by closing the laptop screen too hard?
Most likely you will damage the laptop screen itself if you slam it hard, not the laptop. An LCD panel is lit by a very thin, long, bright lamp. It is fragile, like any ordinary light bulb. If you put lots of pressure on the cover, the back light lamp will break. Depending on the laptop, it should be relatively easy to replace for $100-$200
How do you play sonic robo blast 2 on eeepc laptop?
'Sonic Robo Blast 2' is indeed an excellent free game, and - luckily - one which is easy to get running on the Eeepc. I downloaded it this morning onto my Eeepc 701 SD (with standard Xandros OS), and so far it's working fine.
First, follow the instructions (VERY carefully) about pinning your system and adding extra repos available here:
http://wiki.eeeuser.com/addingxandrosrepos
Then download 'Wine' - a program which allows Windows programs to run in a Linux environment (yes, I know that SRB2 is available in a native Linux form, but for various reasons it would probably be easier/safer to just use the Windows version).
Instructions on installing/using Wine can be found here:
http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:wine?s
I'm running the standard Wine 1.0, and SRB2 works fine under it.
Finally, download the latest .exe file from 'www.srb2.org' (other sites offer the file for download, but they mostly have older and inferior versions).
Right-click on the .exe file and type 'wine' into the 'Open With' field.
Initially, I tried unpacking the file into the standard Linux 'Z: Drive', but experienced some major program issues. However, after removing and reinstalling it in Wine's virtual 'C: Drive' (as recommended in the above Wiki article), it now works fine.
There do seem to be some minor issues:
The music seems distorted, but can be safely turned off without detracting from the game's playability.
Every 30 seconds or so the frame-rate inexplicably drops off for a fraction of a second.
Once or twice their have been peculiar computer freezes while running the game.
However, these are minor issues that have yet to interfere with my enjoyment of Sonic Robo Blast 2.
Do laptop AC adapters protect against power surges?
No. The offer no protection. If you need protection, you must use a surge protector and even that is no guarrantee it will not damage the battery or the computer.
How can you get the wireless Internet on your new HP laptop?
Most HP models, like the HP Mini Netbook have built in wireless adapters, and if you go to the control panel, then at the bottom, to wireless network settings. Then give your network a name, leave the rest and click next. IF you have an external hard drive (flash drive) with a pre-existing network setup on it use it. If you want to set up a network manually just click setup manually. Should be easygoing from there, message me on AIM with any questions. ben3278 -sn
Is there such thing as a portable WiFi adapter?
what im asking iis that , the adapter would plug in and the console would be able to connect to the internet wherever you are. if this thing exists, what consoles are they for?
Yes, but it is not called WiFi. You are looking for wireless broadband such as EVDO, 3G or 4G provided by cellular carriers. This costs considerably more than WiFi (around $60/mo) and can be used with any computer that has a USB port, PCMCIA slot, ExpressCard slot or even WiFi.
This last option requires explanation. You use the WiFi in your computer to communicate with the a MiFi device (credit card sized device) that communicates over wireless broadband with your cellular provider.
There is also and internal, mini-card option for most laptops, but this would not be my recommendation for reasons of self-installation and the ability to use the other options on multiple computers.
What laptop or computer does Freddie from iCarly use?
Freddie Benson uses a fictional laptop with a pear on it (a parody of MacBooks which have an apple). They've never really given it a name, but I believe it's a PearBook. Like the 'PearPod' and 'PearPad' that are also seen on the show.
I think you need to get it fixed or shove a knife under the button attucually dont do that you'll ellectrocute yourself

Laptops are intended to be portable so you won't have to go through the trouble of lugging an ordinary PC around. Laptops are easy to carry, small and powerful. All it is is a little computer that is mobile, really. You can use them for anything a normal computer is used for doing. You can get really cheap ones, minis, ranging from 300 to 400 dollars.
There are many ways to use a laptop. You can:
Access the Internet from anywhere (as long as you have wireless Internet)
Can do everything a computer does, only in a smaller version
Complaining to businesses
Create presentations
Do homework
Download music
Filling time
Having fun
Play games
Study
Take it anywhere you go
Take courses
Use it as your own personal computer
How do you get cat pee out of a laptop?
My deep condolences.
Cats don't usually spray much volume of liquid. The bulk will be on the outside of the computer. Wipe it off with a barely damp cloth, dampened with a chlorine based bleach to remove the stink. Don't use solvents. Computers are easily damaged by solvents.
The keyboard is tricky. If you are feeling poor and don't want to replace the whole keyboard module you can clean it yourself. On many laptops the key caps will come off, if prised upwards. Clean the space under them with those cotton wool sticks you stick in your ear. (Use clean ones - please)
Once separated, the plastic key caps can be washed in hot water and regular detergent. Dry them well before replacing. Oh, remember where they came from - perhaps photostat your keyboard before pulling the caps off.
Its a tricky job. If you aren't a handy sort of person with a talent for watchmaking get it done professionally. Answer:Just so you know, be careful not to break the little link thing at the bottom of each keyboard. if you don't take them off right, they'll break a little and you'll wonder why the key doesn't click back onto the keyboard. Also, as for not letting the cat to even get to the laptop, just make sure your cat doesn't get to where your laptop is. Even if you clean it thoroughly, being electronic equipment, obviously you can't use strong solvents like specified above. Your laptop is already marked by the urine smell, the cat can smell it even if you may not anymore. I heard there are things cats hate to smell, so maybe get those things around the laptop. (I hear they hate pepper, lemon, and some other smells as well as hate some herb smells, although i can't remember what). they do like some herbs though, so be careful not to mix it up. And some cats get spiteful and try to pee again to cover that hateful smell, so this isn't 100% sure method. I just kept putting my cat away (just pick him up and put him back on the carpet) if he gets on the table/desk every time he does it. He's smart emough to realize the chairs are okay but tables/desks are off limits. If he tries to get on dinner table "wanting to share dinner", I just straight up pick him up and lock him up in another room. He first gets ANGRY and gets worse sometimes when I let him out again, then I pick him up again and lock him up. Then you let him out and sometimes he'll be good again, sometimes he gets pissed off... Then I just pick him up and lock him up for couple more hours. After awhile, the cat kinda gives up trying to get up the table... The key is not to give in and just let the cat out (it makes the cat think he can just be let off the hook as long as he cries pitifully) when the cat starts begging to be let out. (I still give him food and water and all in that separate room with his toys. It's not like he's lacking anything there. He just wouldn't get attention which he took it granted). You ONLY let him out when he's not too angry and when he behaves and doesn't meow like he's pissed off. If he acts like he doesn't even wanna see you or deal with you, then he's not done being angry (which means he'll pee all over to mark his territory even more). Just have to show him who's the boss and mark those areas with stuff he hates to the point that he won't even want to get close to the laptop.
Where does the word laptop come from?
The original inventor of the laptop wanted it to be called a top lap, after his top hat he was famous for wearing. Unfortunately his overzealous busyness partner decided that it should be named after a combination of his favourite things: Strip clubs (lap dances), Labradors (that's where the la comes from) and top, which is actually an acronym for totally orange pineapples! Crazy huh!?
