apparently solved I'll pass this along in case someone encounters this, I have two ac adapters, one is OEM Dell, the other an Ebay replacement that powers the laptop just fine but apparently is not recognized by the Dell in BIOS. I had the cheap replacement plugged in all the time and after...

I have a problem with the battery charging, the laptop runs fine with the ac adapter, it has a brand new battery, (the second one now because i thought the first battery was defective) so it is not a battery issue. With a volt meter I checked the pins on the bottom of the laptop that go to the...

I did load a rom for the pandigital called "ubernova", at this point there is nothing to lose as I'm on the verge of getting a new tablet, anyway it booted and now I get a "parsing error" on several apps. My android version stayed the same at 2.3

yes, that's right, she is a student, kindergarten works...right?

I downloaded an .apk file called "gingerbreak" and copied it over to the tablet which lets me delve a little bit deeper into the system but still no access into upgrading the newer revisions of Android OS. These are not considered great tablets, it was an inexpensive promotion by Tiger Direct...

No student here, i'm nearly 65 years old, just trying to put together a decent pc for my grandaughter and learn something as I go

I have an old tablet, a Pandigital 7" with Android 2.3, is it hard or even advisable to update this, I see nowhere in settings where I can, it only states the level and that's it.

where would be a good and reasonable place to purchase Windows 7?

so what do they do, they acquire some desk tops from a company upgrading? How would they know whether a key has or has not ever been used, is there a way they go online and enter a product key number and it tells you if the particular number is or is not active? It does look illegal but Ebay...

Looking on Ebay for the most cost effective way to get this Compaq Presario running and legit I see where many sell Product keys along with a useless dead hard drive or some other piece of hardware. It looks like the product key came off of a computer now trashed but the key itself they say has...

I would think it is in standard IDE mode, although have not checked

I have a Dell Latitude E6400 that is in good working order, however I'm curious as to how changing to a 120GB SSD will improve it and conserve power as it is always running, also seeing that my laptop is registered activated Windows 7 with Microsoft is there a program where I can just...

thanks, makes perfect sense, I'll take the memory out and throw it away, it served me well and ran non stop for quite a few years, how about my Latitude E6400, right now it has replaced the older one and has 4gb memory and a 2.8ghz processor and works well, would a SSD conversion make sense, it...

I have an older Dell Latitude 610 which was my first laptop and has served me well but now the HD I replaced has also died, from what i've read SSD make more sense, also SATA looks better priced, I see there is a converter to allow me to install a SATA instead of the on board PATA interface, has...

I had to buy some DVD blanks as they hold 4.7gb but have not tried burning one yet

as I said this has been educational for me in many ways, every inch of the way from getting this computer has been difficult, no video at first, one of two hard drives don't work, no boot, then when it does I need a password, all my attempts to reset and clear the password did not work so I...

there are many sites offering the download of the OS, I think the illegal activity must start upon ways around certified registration, license, activation. I'm fairly new at this and have not run into this scenario so it's educational for me. The question may be asked, how is this illegal?

I was able to download three different versions of Windows 7, I have both Home Premiums 32 and 64 bit, and 32 bit Ultimate. I'm at [email protected]

As for the OS the COA tag says Windows 7 Home Premium, it is a Compaq with a Athlon 2.7 ghz processor, probably quite old by now as it is DDR2 memory and no usb boot in bios

I just got off the line with Microsoft, the product key cannot be verified because it is a Compaq (though there is a "HP" above the product key#), at this point I wish the password reset on Hirems boot disk programs worked like it said it did. Although there is a slight chance Compag can help...
