That's a really good question.  I did a reverse lookup of the FCC ID and got this page, https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearchResult.cfm?RequestTimeout=500 unfortunately it provided no new insights on what you can do with your notebook.  It also appears that the manufacturer has faded into obscurity.  But there are two things you can do, one is to download Belarc Advisor, http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to see what hardware you have installed, most importantly it will tell you what motherboard you are using and then you can look that up on Google.  The second thing you can do is to download CPU-Z, http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php which will tell you the speed of your memory and how the board is populated so you will know how to proceed with an upgrade.\n\nYeah, all of this kind of assumes that you are using Windows XP, if not I can't guarantee anything.

I suggest you take it to a shop.\n\nOpening things OTHER than a standard PC can be very difficult to those without proper tools and knowledge.  It will also void any warranty.

Are you talking about something like making the desktop monitor the primary input source for the notebook?\n\nYou should be able to connect the cable from the desktop to the notebook. You may need a specialty cable, depending on the model of the notebook and type of monitor.

If you have room, get a desktop. You'll have more power and more memory in general, plus it won't fry if you drop some crumbs on it.

Put the notebook to in a dry place for 1 week..then\nTry to see if it starts up if not....then\nYou can buy external 2.5" HD caddy cases, so that you can take the Laptop harddrive out and put it in the caddy and connect to any computer with a USB port to transfer your data.\n\nCould be a costly repair job, if you've not got accident cover

Notebook for as low as $500 won't get you a new computer.  I find it impossible to find it, but you can still find notebook, refurbished or used in that price.  It depends where you bought the refurbished notebook as different stores has their own policy - some would even carry the same warranty as a new one.\n\nIf you're looking for used, try www.Craigslist.org\n\nIf money is no object, electronic stores or Dell for instance has great price usually around this time (graduation gift) or near school starts.

It is very hard to say which notebook is best. \n\nHowever, given that you would be using it primarily for office work and downloading lots of music for your iPOD, it is imperitive to say the least that you would require a HARD DRIVE with lots of space. \n\nThe ideal configuration for you would be - \n\n1) Intel Centrino Processor, which is designed for mobile computing needs. Since you would also be using it for office work, one would presume that you would be carrying it often. So you would want to have a processor designed for laptops and not desktops. New technology like Centrino Duo processor will be an added boon, but is really not required for your pruposes.\n\n2) The minimum RAM you would want to go for is atleast 512 MB. This is because for office work you would be working on system hungry applications like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook etc. Moreover, a 512 MB RAM would help you to smoothly uprade to Microsoft Windows Vista edition for which the minimum RAM requirement is 512 MB RAM.\n\n3) You would need a hard drive with atleast 100 GB of space as you would be downloading lots of music for your iPOD. Try to go in for a SATA hard drive with 7200 RPM. This will transfer music to your iPOD faster than conventional hard drives.\n\n4) You would want to have CD/RW drive in your laptop. A DVD/ROM CD/RW combo would be handy if you want to use it for occassional DVD viewing.\n\n5) A dedicated graphics card in your case is not required.\n\n6) For your kind of purpose you really don't need the screen size bigger than 14". This would not only lower your budget but also help you in carrying it. (Trust me bigger the screen size, the bulkier and heavier the laptop)\n\n7) Lastly buy a laptop from a vendor, who provides good service like onsite next business day warrenty. You don't want to keep running to the service centre in time of a crisis (laptops are complex machines and prone to defects).\n\nHowever, the choice of a laptop (like a car) is very personal and individualistic.

call your local waste authority to see where you can take idems like that.  There are usually several businesses around that will take older hardware and make it new for other people in need to use.  It was very nice to think about something like that. :D

I wouldn't turn my back on it. It always depends on price and anticipated use.\n\nThree of my friends have recently picked up a brand-name notebook, 1GB RAM, 100 GB hard drive, built in bluetooth and WiFi, DVD burner, Windows XP Home, AMD 1800 processor and 15 inch screen, external (USB) floppy. It has been selling here for US $999, no rebates. That's been the cash register price.\n\nIf what you are looking at is $200 less, I would say they are equivalent values.\n\nAs for use, yours is quite adequate for standard business use and home computing. For graphics manipulation or gaming it is a bit of a lightweight. If it's significantly cheaper, US $600 or less new from a good local store, I'd go with your selection. It sounds like yours is a respectable, competent machine. Only your preferences and pocketbook and availability in your area can say for sure.

that can't be more than a PII processor. I wouldn't put XP on that. Even if you do manage to get it on (which I doubt you will) your notebook won't have the processing power to run XP satisfactorily - it will be sluggish and barely capable of running two apps at a time.\n\nBad idea all around if you ask me. I know this from experience. Me ma let some clown do something similar and it took me three days to get it off and reinstall her PII 233mhz notebook with Win98.

Just let it be a simple machine to surf online for your kids or old folks. Just try not to install too many applications like office or graphic program which will slow it down.\n\nOr depending on how comfortable with techy stuff, you can use it as a print server, a fax server to route your faxes to email, a router if you have a network of computers.

It depends on the make and model of your particular notebook. If you owned an HP notebook that has an AMD Turion processor I would say that you have choices! YES YOU CAN upgrade your notebook's processor! I have found FOUR AMD Turion processors at a respectable online e-tailer for you. Be fore warned though! It is absolutely essential that you obtain the service manual for your laptop BEFORE 1) Purchasing the processor 2) Attempting to install said processor. Always consult the notebook's service manual for information that is VITAL to the success of your upgrades!\nGood luck!\nPaul_in_NC

A very very good notebook guide can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.download.com/3000-2056-10225869.html\n\nAlthough you just need it for internet use and word processing, many websites employ heavy graphics.. you need fairly good specs anyway. Pentium III or Celeron (CPU clock - 1 GHz) and RAM of 512MB would do. \n\nAcer and Dell have good offerings on their websites. I found some on Amazon.com as well.\n\nDont forget to test for dead spot on LCD screens, check for Harddisk errors, and so on.\n\nPS:\nI found one here:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00080QGD2/sr=1-1/qid=1138758887

You can use the pendrive for the following:-\n\n1. Mobile office\nYou can have an array of free 'portable software' like Mozilla, AbiWord, OpenOffice.org, Foxit PDF reader on it along with your documents and access it on any machine.\n\n2. Recovery tool.\nIf your motherboard supports booting from a USB device and your pen drive also supports it, then you can load 'damn small linux' or DSL in it and recover data in case your OS goes kaput.\n\n3. Quick Access\nStore only the stuff you need very often on it and 'quick access' it on any machine.
