  • Dell Laptop not charging but not shutting down?

    I have a refurbished Dell Latitude D630 that runs on Windows 7. I got it in January of 2011 and sense then I have gone through 4 chargers, 3 in the past eight months. Recently I plugged in my charger before turning on my laptop, but despite it being the right charger it tells me to plug in the right charger a 65w-AC adapter, despite it being compatible with 90w-AC adapter. It will occasionally charge if I hold the wire just so, BUT even when it says "Plugged in, not charging" the computer is not shutting down.

    I experience power issues when plugging and unplugging my computer. The screen flashes to black a bit sometimes I just have to restart because it just stops working right. This only started after I had my hard drive wiped due to a virus.

    *I did leave my charger plugged in all the time could I need a new battery?

    *Should I just upgrade to a better computer? (I was thinking Acer, or some cheaper brand that I could use for video games such as The Sims 2 or maybe Dragon Age: Origins)

  • Do logitech mouse and nano receiver have matching serial numbers?

    My father and I have the same version of Logitech wireless mice.

    After he took my computer to be fixed, resulting in my having his for a few weeks, I discovered that neither my laptop nor his was able to use the wireless mice. I tried using my brother's mouse, and realized that maybe my father's nano reciever was mixed up with my own.

    I noticed what appeared to be a serial number on the inside of the mouse battery slot and a similar but different number on the nano receiver.

    Do the receiver and mice have matching serial numbers on them so that you can tell which mouse goes to what?

  • Precut philly cheese steak strips?

    So years ago my mother used to buy my brother and I these prepackaged flash frozen "rib-eye" steak strips she found in the frozen section of the grocery store. While we enjoyed them they disgustingly greasy and were known to make for some very upset tummies. If you wrapped them in ten foil a soup would form at the bottom and spill sometimes, they were that bad! I am wondering if anyone knows of a brand of philly cheesesteak strips that I could buy that wouldn't be so greasy or fatty.

  • Help! I have gone natural but have NEVER really done more than comb my hair and have no clue where to start...?

    I have recently transitioned to a natural style, and after months of weaves I am actually trying to learn how to deal with my natural kinky hair. However I have never truly dealt with my hair before beyond combing, brushing, oiling, flat ironing, and my rather poor attempts at rolling it. My hair is medium length with straight falling to just below my neck. I'm a thick girl with a very oval face...well more like a long circle, so afro's do not work on me so much. Can someone please give me a step by step of what to do with my hair on an everyday basis? And perhaps styles that are not short

  • What Sims2 game is worth playing?

  • I need some instrumental music?

    Hi I'm working on a little project on Photostory, so I need to know what sized files would work, and ya know actual music files. I was looking for hopefully pure instrumental (eery chanting counts as instrumental)

    I was originally planning on using the Depeche Mode Song Pimpf

    -It must be under 3 minutes long or a piece that can be cut off and/or shortened

    -The piece I'm working with is incredibly dark and I have very creepy images

    -the theme masks being used as deceit, causing pain. Basically everyone wears a mask and your forced to wear one

    Please help or give me some advice

  • My computer speakers keep making a clicking noise?

    It is not the sound of a mouse clicking nor a buzzing sound. It's reminiscent of the sound of when one hooks something up to the computer or anything with the speaker. Like when you plug in a mic and it makes a kind of click/pop noise. Nothing else is problematic that I know of, but it's vary annoying. It is even showing up when I plug in my earphones

    Notes:

    -Before this started I had recently started using the program Audacity to record my singing and speaking.

    -A few days ago I noticed my speakers seemed to be decreasing in volume even when it was maxed out. As in if I listened to itunes and put the volume on max and than put the computer volume on max it was as if I just turned the speaker to 50%

    Please can you help me?
