If battery in laptop is bad will it prevent it from booting up when plugged?

If you have a bad battery in your laptop it should not prevent it from booting up when plugged in. However, it depends on how long your battery has been bad. When your battery goes bad it can start giving off chemicals. Those chemicals can get into your hard drive. When those chemicals get in your hard drive they ruin your hard drive. That prevents you from booting up from your hard drive. That makes your hard drive worthless. If you do not have good backups, you will spend a lot of money recovering the data from your bad hard drive. You may be able to boot up from a CD ROM or the Internet depending on your computer.

No, sleep mode shuts down most all hardware components (CPU, graphics card, NIC (network card), VDU) to preserve as much power as possible without losing your current computer session by keeping the ram turned on. In turn, the driver that powers your network card is off, the CPU that processes the data is off, and the hard drive that it saves to is off.

How can you damage your laptop by closing the laptop screen too hard?

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.

How do you connect a laptop to the internet using wireless connection i have a wireless router and it used to be connected but then it disconected so how do i connect it again?

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.
