Is there any way to upgrade the graphics card on a hp pavilion notebook?
Yeah,
Although you can upgrade the video card on a laptop, it is very difficult and you would need to open your laptop up, and then un-solder the card and then put new compatible card in and then solder again.
The soldering part is the main question... a professional computer tech will have to do this... and it'll cost you$$$...
So by the time you pay for that, investing in a newer computer is a better option.
Good Luck!
You have two basic options.
1.You can connect your laptop to your cable, fibre optic, or DSL modem or Ethernet port using an Ethernet cord.
2. You can connect your cable, fibre optic, or DSL modem or Ethernet port to a wireless router using a Ethernet cable. You then connect your laptop using wireless to your wireless router.
If the external monitor works fine then most likely there is nothing wrong with the motherboard or video card and the problem is somewhere inside the laptop display panel.
Here's what I usually do in order to narrow down problems like this:
1. I reseat the video cable connectors on both ends, on the motherboard/video card and on the back of the LCD screen. If the video cable gets loose, it might cause a problem like on your laptop.
2. Replace the video cable
3. Replace the LCD screen
I have never had the problem before but my computer wouldnt allow me to play for a while so instead i tried changing the way it ran to windows xp (service pack 2)
just go to properties
then compatibility tab
then change the compatability mode to windows xp (service pack 2)
hope it helped
Why does my laptop say it is plugged in and not charging it isn't even plugged in but was all night?
Well that's a question lots of people encounter, who use laptops.
Its reason is not common for all, for example mine problem was caused due to heating.
Actually i live in hot environment, so i had to first let the battery cool off by shutting down laptop for some time.
Some people say that their problem was never solved.
some say that a bios upgrade solved it.
some say installing windows vista caused it. (Well personally i don't believe this one because Microsoft keep sending you upgrades and it would have been solved by installing upgrades. actually mine disappeared after updating to service pack 2)
So try these suggestions :-
- First install an bios upgrade. (You can find it on your laptop manufacturers website.)
- second try what i did. And Update windows regularly
- Third there is a fan on bottom of your laptop, it helps it to cool off so do not let it be covered, use a flat cardboard or wooden board beneath it if you want to keep it on something like bed sheet, sofa etc. ask a carpenter to cut one of your laptops size if you don't have 1
- Fourth Lithium ion batteries of laptops are considered to have a life of 1 year (Yeah 1 year that's what i thought when my company told me) So calibrate it once a month (Calibrating :- charging laptop battery 100% than Discharging it until it turns off on its own and than charging again 100%)
- Now i have told you what your customer care executive might have told you. Still If your laptop is in warranty than for gods sake call your company first.

edit:
Call the company first? Really?
I feel that you should call the company after you do some searching online. It usually results in you finding an answer much faster than you ever would through customer support, and is actually much less stressful all the while being just as satisfying.
Thanks for wonderful answer though! But anyway, it ended up fixing itself. I am guessing it's a problem stemming from Windows 7 RC1's power management functionality.

What do you do if your DVD gets stuck in your laptop and your Mac laptop is beeping?
I don't know why the mac would be beeping, but to remove the disk you have to restart the mac. Then once its shut off, hold down the 'left click' on the mouse or keypad until you can tell its starting up again. Then while still holding the mouse down, you hold the opition key. Do this for a couple seconds and the disk should come out, even if it isn't far enough in for the mac to read it :) I had the same thing happen to me and this saved me from a $100 bill :)
Where can you find a cheap MacBook?
You may either browse eBay, or try the Refurbished section on the Apple Online Store. Although, I wouldn't say the price of a new MacBook is expensive. It is relatively cheap in comparison to other brands and it's big on features.
Also, since April 2009, it is advertisements that Apple is overstocked and are letting new, factory sealed macbooks go for a fraction of the price. This situation might not last forever but ia friend of mine got a new one for a realy low price at MyAppleSlice.com

Where can you best learn how to use laptop touch pad?
The best way to learn to use a touch pad is by using it. Its a very simple interface to use. Lightly touching it and moving your finger around on it moves the mouse pointer. Tapping it is like clicking the mouse button. You can double-tap it for a double click. Some touch pads have buttons adjacent to it so you can use these buttons like mouse buttons.
Are the keys on the Gateway NV53 removable?
Yes, but I wouldn't suggest it. I took off one key, and it was troublesome to get off. I could snap it down again, but I believe the part that I lifted up broke the piece to snap down, so it only snapped down all the way on the opposite side.
How do you connect my epson stylus nx420 printer to my laptop?
You can connect your epson stylus nx420 printer to you laptop, by the mini USB cable included with it. If you don't have one, look on eBay, you could pick one up for £10. If the printer supports Wi-Fi then you can also configure your laptop and set them both up. It also depends on what laptop you have.
Hope this has helped.
Which is the best laptop for you besides an apple brand?
There are hundreds of brands out there. The best way for you to decide which one is for you - is to draw up a list of what exactly you want to use a laptop for. Write down the types of programs you're likely to use etc - and take it with you to an independent computer shop (not somewhere like PC world or Dixons etc).
An independent retailer will sell you which model would suit you based on your needs - rather than just try to sell you the most expensive model they have in the shop !
