Fdisk it between 3 (local govt) and 10 (military) times.\n\nOr do it once and prize the circuit board off with a screwdriver. Makes it impossible to access unless one has exactly the same PCB, even before it's been fdisked.

Turn the power off, pull out the plugs.\nOpen the case\nPlug in the new card (make sure you're grounded first eg. touch something metal i guess)\nConnect the monitor to the new card\nPlug the power on\nLoad up window\nRight click "my computer"\nClick on hardware tab then device manager\nExpand the Display Adapter\nDouble click on your old device\nOn Display usage: disable it.\nPress Ok\nGoto Ati Website and download the Catalyst Drivers for the Radeon series.\nInstall it.\n\nThis is what I would've done, but since I'm not there, I can't really tell you what problems might pop up or occur.

I think your monitor is about ready to die.

just install a video card, or you can manually disable it in the BIOS of your motherboard\n\nwhen you computer is booting hit DEL at the initial boot screen after the system check.

Not worth the effort. Guessing u want to dump "trashed" computer rather than get rid of the "horse". I'd get rid of the horse and save the computer. The other optionis "scrap" the hd (as thats only place the horse lives) and stick a blank (cheep used) ("F" disc it first and don't put anything on it) drive in it, and sell it for what ever....

You can use a commercial product like partition magic, or you can use a free one, which works just as well. The best and simplest free licence one is 'fips'(Stands for "First nondestructive Interactive Partition Splitting program"), which you can get off the internet. You can also use Windows FDISK, but this is a destructive one, meaning that it destroys files on the partition area. Try this website - www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/

Well, sort of...\n\nThe monitor has a proprietary connection to the mother board -- not a standard VGA cable.  It's a very thin flexible cable that goes through the hinge and then plugs onto the motherboard.  It's easy enough to take off the display (a few screws around the hinge area, then usually also the top cover of the laptop), but you'll then have to figure out which wires are which (including power) on the proprietary cable -- I haven't seen these documented anywhere, and they're different for different brands of laptops.\nGood luck :)

Try turning on the monitor, see if it is plugged in right.  If none of that works don't hit it with a sludge hammer, bring it into a computer store.

No. Don't have to worry since data isn't stored permanently. \n\nBut don't buy a monitor without seeing it plugged in first so you can see if all the pixels can be lit.\n\nCheck for coffee/drink/water stains at the top too. Some knuckleheads keep drinks or plants on the top of older/larger CRTs.\n\nGood luck.

Hi there...to do this you would need to find a hack software.  There a few such as Bin-it and Trash X, but each have had negative reviews by users.  Anyhow, here's more on this if you would like to consider trying one.  See section Desktop Trash: http://lowendmac.com/menagh/06/1113.html

You need to change the power options under the control panel. To do this:\n\n1. Open the control panel and double click on 'Power Options'\n\n2. In the 'Power Options' window, you will see the options (time interval) to turn off your monitor, hard disc etc. The values you see are the default.\n\n3. Change these to suit your need.
