(Sounds like battery is bad. When they get real bad they will drain the AC Adapter and might not power up at all)
So i don't use this laptop anymore due to the graphics card being broken in it.
However the other week i went to turn it on and i got a power light and the battery light come on. Nothing else, when i press the power button on the laptop the orange battery light goes out, and comes back on when the button is depressed.
I decided to leave it on charge and I've noticed that the laptop has to be fully charged and plugged in to power up.
But surely this shouldn't be the case. Can anyone help me please.
Its a Sony Vaio VGN-S2XP
Its Running Windows 7 RC -512MB RAM (I thought this might be the problem)
80GB HDD
Graphics card gives BSD when enabled.
Please help

How do you fix a mouse that double clicks?
If you are clicking the left-click mouse button (Or, even the right-click mouse button), and it counts as two quick clicks, try these steps. 1) Be sure you are not clicking any other mouse buttons. For example, if you are hitting the scroll wheel (If using a desktop-type mouse, rather than a laptop built-in mouse), that sometimes counts as a left-click; the result in hitting the 'left-click' button twice without the user noticing it. 2) Can you recall any settings you have changed recently that may have made this happen? Go into mouse options through your control panel and check for any options that you've configured recently. 3) If all else fails, check the manufacturer's website for help or consult the manual for the mouse.

It is a program that restarts your computer. It sounds like you may have a corrupted program on your computer that is causing the problem. This happens for many reasons . It happens most often during reloading of programs and may have happened at the factory. No way of knowing for sure.
I would suggest doing a systems restore. This should be already on your computer.
If you do not know how, contact your ISP or computer manufacturer and hey will instruct you on what to do. Your computer should me under warrantee and while it is this service should be free.
ANSWER:
Let's ask a few questions before we can isolate the issue. First, how long have you owned your computer? (Is it new? Have you had it for a few years? Have you been doing your updates as they come in?) Second, did you add new hardware? (if you did, was it a communications device? IE: network card, wireless card, modem.) And further, did you use a PCI slot that wasn't the last in the chain? (The very bottom of the board, or close to the video card?) And lastly, did you install a new memory stick?
Now, let's address each of these things.
- If the computer is new and you are having this continual re-boot issue, you should contact the manufacturer for support. If you had it for a while, go to the next step.
The most current updates that can, and have regularly, caused the issue you describe are the service updates, or "service packs" for Windows XP Pro or Home. (Mostly SP2) The registry and MBR (Master Boot Record) are not re activated correctly due to a bad downloaded .EXE) In this case, there is only one thing to do. You must remove or uninstall the service pack. Both, SP2 and SP3 have an uninstall program, and it can be performed through the "Add/Remove" tab in the "Control Panel" Since the computer won't boot beyond the initial bios start-up, then you will need to keep your finger at the ready to hit F8 so you can enter "safe mode" (pressing the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly during the bios startup.) If you are successful, then navigate your way to the Control Panel and then to the Add/Remove tab. simply remove the service pack, and reboot the computer. The original condition should be achieved at this point, and you can try to let the Update site try again, or, you could just go to the Microsoft website and download the service pack manually. Because of the length of the instructions, go to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875350 Here you will find the instructions to help you remove the SP in several different ways. (I recommend you go straight to the last one since you can't boot into windows.)
- Almost all mainboards now, have sound and network cards "built in" and are not required to have add on cards. Most of the new system architectures of today have a specific slot in which to install a communications device, should the need for additional or replacement cards to be installed. They are "Electronically Keyed" as are the new cards, so that the communications device can only work in the one "slot". (This has to do with the addition of the PCI-E bus in the newer systems.) In most systems, the location will be at the last slot on the board. (The furthest away from the CPU.) Some manufacturers have been gracious to color the slot "orange". Soon, it will become a standard, but until that day, currently, most manufactures enter this vital information in their manuals as a side note. Not fair to the most of us, but hey,,,it's their thing….for now! The result of installing the communications card in the wrong slot will yield the problem you have described. In some cases, the computer won't even start. (The board, power supply or both will detect a voltage variant and prevent the startup to prevent damage to the board and interface.)
- And lastly, with the advent of DDR2 and the PCI-E boards, there are some issues with memory and the types being used. Some boards have color-coded memory slots. IE: if you have three or more memory slots, (4 is the most on most boards) 2 will be the same color, and the 1 or 2 if there are 4 will be a different color. This would indicate that a.) if you are running two "like" sticks of memory, they should be installed in the same colored slots, leaving the 1 or 2 slots empty. (Even if the board has a "blue-black-blue-black" you would only use the "blue-(empty)-blue-(empty) configuration.) b.) if you are using size different sticks, then the slots "color code" would be used. IE: if you have two sticks of 512mb and one stick of 256mb then the two 512's would occupy the "blue" slots, and the 256 would occupy the "black" slot(s) This also applies to the "FSB speed" (Front Side Bus) of the memory. Ideally, two sticks that are of a different speed, (yet the board supports both speeds) then you would segregate the speeds in the corresponding coded slots.
In summery, there are several things that could cause the issues you have described. Check each one, and see if any of the suggestions mentioned here, could be a resolution. At the last ends, take your computer to a qualified technician, and have them fix it for you.

How do you prevent your computer from turning off by itself?
Most computer towers have a manual on/off switch located somewhere on the back, in addition to the usual power button on the front. Flipping this switch to the off position will stop that from happening. If your computer doesn't have one, I would recommend having it plugged into a power strip (which you should really do anyway), and when you're not using it, simply turn off the power strip which will cut the flow of electricity. It'll save energy too!

Are all routers basically the same?
No, there are many different speeds and other variables associated with routers. Most commonly, the speeds are 802.11, G, and N with variations of those. Those are listed in order of speed with N being the fastest. However, the speed will also depend on the device using the router. For example, if a laptop with a G receiver is on an N router, it will only get G speed.
Which brings me to my next point: There are also wireless and non-wireless routers. The above information only applies to wireless routes. As for wired routers, these are more similar. The only thing you will have to watch out for is the connection type your using. if you have dial-up internet or a 56k connection, you will need to buy the appropriate router. Same thing goes for a Ethernet or cable connection.
Another thing to look for is the number of ports available to use. If you are simple running 1 wire to 1 computer, all routers should have this function. However, if you are connecting multiple computers or sources to it, then you will need to make sure that there are enough ports to accomplish your needs
What computers are compatible with word processing?
that depends on what version of word processor you are using. the latest versions of Microsoft office push the limits of what is acceptable bloat for a word processor.

What is Abraham Marlow theory hierachy of needs?
Abraham Maslow', Hierarchy of Needs is a theory of human motivation that Maslowfirst proposed in 1943. Maslow contended that as humans beings meet 'basic needs', they seek to satisfy successively 'higher needs' that occupy a set hierarchy. While Maslow's theory has been highly regarded among theories of personality and motivation, it had its detractors. Manfred Max Neef for example argued that part of the condition of being human is living without poverty. . He felt that 'Poverty' is the result of any one of these needs being frustrated, denied or unfulfilled.
