Take a closer look at the LCD screen. Can you see a very dim image on the screen? If you can, most likely there is a problem with the inverter board.

The inverter board is located inside the laptop display. In order to replace it you'll have to open up the display panel.

THE LATEST IN LAPTOPS

By David H. Rothman Rothman wrote The Complete Laptop Computer Guide (St. Martin's, $18.95).

October 1, 1990

(MONEY Magazine) - Smarter and slicker, the new fliptop and notebook computers are also more affordable. This year, worldwide sales are expected to hit 3 million, up 38% since 1989, says Dataquest, a Silicon Valley research firm. Barbara Bush taps away on a GRiD portable. Walter Cronkite works on a Compaq. Here's how to tell which one is right for you: -- Software. Most laptops are IBM-compatibles to run such favorites as WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3. -- Memory. Most IBM-styles now boast 640K of random-access memory (RAM). -- Speed. If you're a demanding user -- say, a C.P.A. -- get 16 megahertz or higher. -- Storage. A typical laptop floppy holds 720K or 350 double-spaced pages; most hard disks stash at least 20 megabytes or about 27 times that. -- Power. Batteries commonly last three or so hours. MODEL PICKS: Tandy 1500 HD. Just released, this six-pound notebook offers a 1.44-megabyte floppy drive. The 20-megabyte hard drive stores about 10,000 pages, and the NEC V-20 chip runs at 10 megahertz. RAM is 640K. Price is $1,999. Toshiba T1000SE. This one-floppy, 5.9-pound machine has a 9.54-megahertz 80C86 chip. The disk holds 1.44 megabytes. Price is $1,699; discounted to $1,100. Bargain hunters might scan the older 6.4-pound Toshiba T1000. Sharp PC-6220. This trim 4.4-pound model has a high-resolution VGA screen (Video Graphics Array) and a 12-megahertz, 80286-class chip. The hard disk stores 20 megabytes. List is $3,999; discounted to about $3,000. Data LP320 Laptop. This is a full-fledged 80386, speeding along at 20 megahertz with a VGA display and a fast, 43-megabyte hard-disk drive. Trade- offs are a hefty 19 pounds and 1 1/2 hours of power. Order from Dataworld (800-736-3282) for $2,665. Outbound Systems of Boulder, Colo. (800-444-4607) offers an alternative to Apple's misbegotten 16-pound portable. The Outbound weighs nine pounds and costs $2,999 with a 1.44-megabyte floppy or $3,999 with a 40-megabyte hard drive. A dealer removes two Read-Only Memory (ROM) chips from your Mac and sticks them in the laptop. Last, consider the Tandy WP-2 word processor. It can't run IBM-style programs, but it's ideal for frugal note takers. Cost: $350 list, about $300 discount. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/moneymag_archive/1990/10/01/86115/index.htm

Internet on a laptop with a modem?

You can connect your laptop to the Internet with a cable modem, sure. You will need an Ethernet cable to do that. If you want wireless internet, you will need a cable modem, and a wireless router as well.

What is Runtime Error 216 at 51f29FF6 This appeared soon after I switched on my Laptop?

This message means your laptop has been infected with a SubSeven Trojan virus.  What you want to do is update your virus protection program, or have one installed, and run the virus program.  This should rid your laptop of the virus.  I know in Windows XP, they recommend you turn off the System Restore before running virus protection programs.  Not sure in any other version of Windows. 

In my laptop wireless connection showing sent activity but activity received showing zero and in support its not showing default gateway how to add this default gateway?

i am experiencing the same problem in my new PC. My ISP isa saying my vendor has some sort of firewall installed that is preventing me to ping my defualt gateway.

I am also looking for the solution.

anyone?

The most likely answer is that your wireless card is not properly configured to connect with your network. The sent activity is coming from your wireless card attempting to contact the router and then the network; the lack of incoming packets means that the router is not receiving your sent signals.

I would suggest setting you laptop next to your wireless router and attempting to configure your network from there. This would eliminate almost all chance of being out of your router's range.

The configuration menus change by make and model of your router so I can't provide any specifics only a general list of steps to take.

First I would open up Command Prompt (Start>Programs>Accessories) and then type "ipconfig" and press enter. This will provide you with the general information and configuration of ALL enabled network devices that are part of your computer. This means that if you have a wireless card and an ethernet card (wired) the status will show up for both.

typing "ipconfig" will tell you your Internet Protocal (IP) address. This will most likely be something like 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 1 and 255. If your IP is not within this range then your router has been altered from its factory settings and your problem would need hands-on help.

ipconfig would also tell you your subnet which should be 255.255.255.0 and your default gateway wich may or may not be displayed.

Sorry for the long answer but it isn't exactly an easy problem to solve. It would really help to have you trying the steps I have suggested while in communication so I may provide more specific answers.

Hope this helps

Is the HPH 82.7 handbook online?

Short and simple answer would be no. HPH 82.7 is the "Passenger Transportation Safety Handbook" created by the CHP to be used as a "read along" manual by the driver when being instructed by a "Certified" instructor.

What this means is that it contains a list of abbreviated laws that pertain to the driving of School Buses, SPAB buses, Transit Buses, and Farm Labor Vehicles. It is only meant to be a help not a end to a means.

How do you remove ink from your skin?

Solution 1: Well what you do first is scrub it with soap and water. Most of the time rubbing alcohol will work. If that doesn't help then you put baby oil on your hands and then use a pumice bar gently so that you dont rub your hand raw. THAT SHOULD HELP

Solution 2: The best way I've found to remove ink (especially printer ink) from the skin is with a diluted bleach solution. Just mix one part bleach and 3 parts water into a spray bottle and spray on hands. If you dont' have a spray bottle, the bathroom sink can work just as well. It works almost instantly. Of course, be careful not to get it on clothing or into open wounds.

Solution 3: I found this stuff called REMOVEEZ. It gets all kinds of stuff off skin. It takes permanent marker off your skin just by massaging with your fingertip. Ball point pen ink, printer ink, and even markers. So glad I found this stuff so we don't have to use all that harsh chemical stuff on our skin anymore.

It depends on the type of ink. For drawing ink, washing your hands with toothpaste (let it stay on your hands until gummy, then wash off) usually does the trick.

Use a pumice stone! If you don't have one, they usually sell them at local pharmacies, it is the most efficient way to remove ink.

How do you get sand out of your laptop?

Some laptops have sealed keyboards which prevents some of the damage sand could cause.

Another option is using one of those roll up or rubber external keyboards to type with and keeping the main part of your laptop off the sand.

If you do get sand in your laptop on your tropical vacation, try opening up the computer and using compressed air to clean out the sand.

Of course, in general, we don't recommend the mixture of computers and sand at all. However, it is nice to be able to work at the beach. If you take your laptop to the beach, you must want to get sand in it. Sandy is how things get at the beach. It is why we go to the beach. If you don't want things to get sandy, don't take them to the beach. Everything in its place: laptop-office; surfboard-beach.

Are you allowed to take a laptop as well as a bag as your carry-on luggage when you fly?

Yes, you can use laptops on an airplane. You need to turn it off when they close the door to the plane at the gate and stow it under the seat. Then about 10 minutes after takeoff, they will announce that you can now use your electronic devices. When landing, they need to be turned off again and slowed under the seat. About the time they call for tray tables and seat backs in the upright and locked position, they will ask you to turn off your electronics again until you reach your arrival gate and the door to the plane is reopened.
