    Dell laptop has power but won't boot - please help

    Update: I removed the CMOS for about 20 minutes, reinserted it and did a reboot attempt. Still nothing. Another board suggested trying to reseat the cpu, but that requires taking apart the machine and I'm not really up for that unless there's a good chance that would work. Sounds like I'm...

    Dell laptop has power but won't boot - please help

    Awesome, I'm guessing that's probably not even worth the price of repair if it's that?

    Dell laptop has power but won't boot - please help

    I found a working vga monitor and just tried it. Still no video on the other monitor either. Also tried reseating the hard drive and ram, but no luck.

    Dell laptop has power but won't boot - please help

    I'll see if I can find an external monitor to try this on, but at the moment I don't have access. Just wondering though, even if it was a monitor problem, wouldn't the hard drive still show all signs of going through it's normal bootup? (i.e. light flickering on and off, being able to hear it...

    I can't try starting in safe mode because nothing ever appears on the screen, it's black. I'll look into the button battery, thanks.

    Do you know of any service guides or diagrams that show how to do this? I'm a computer repair newbie, so as easy as it sounds, I wouldn't know what to look for. Thanks.

    Dell laptop has power but won't boot - please help

    I have a 2006 Dell E1505 laptop (with Windows XP Home Edition). The computer has been running fine lately (no viruses, no bsods, etc.). This morning, after leaving the computer in standby mode, I came back about an hour later to a computer that would not come back into operation. After turning...

    Can anyone recomend free software for image-copy and file-based backups?

    I want to do an image copy of my hard drive, and also set up a file-based backup software for my system so that certain folders can be backup up at regular intervals. I'm running windows XP. Can anyone recommend some good free software to accomplish these two things? Thanks!

    UPDATE: Situation was resolved by performing a repair install from the recovery disk. Thanks for everyone's input. I may still go back and try to delete anything involving iomega.

    BSOD, Can't restart XP normal or safe modes

    Thanks JHM. I think this is a very real possiblity. I'll give it a try once I get the system up and running. I came across a guy on youtube who had the same problem, just after uninstalling something like I did (he also suspects it's a registry issue)...

    BSOD, Can't restart XP normal or safe modes

    How do I get my website to open up a pdf outside of a visitors web browser?

    I must be doing something wrong, because no matter which one (text or image) I place in the code, it just displaces one of my slices. I must have placed the code in the wrong place. How do I know 'where' to place the code so that none of my existing slices are displaced?

    How do I get my website to open up a pdf outside of a visitors web browser?

    Is there a way to code this in such a way so that someone can just click on my logo or other image? I tried a code similar to this someone gave me, but it just created text on my index page. Problem is, I don't want text, I just want an image to link it.

    How do I get my website to open up a pdf outside of a visitors web browser?

    Sorry to be a pain in ass, but most of that was way over my head. I understand everything through uploading it to my web server. After that.... How do I place html code on any web page? (and what html code are you referring to?). How do I adjust the path of the href (what is the href?)
