1. Fix it yourself?\nThis is your best bet if you know what you are doing. I encourage this approach as many people bring it to me after they really screwed it up. Then I make more money than if they had brought it to me in the first place.\n\n2. Call the Hardware or Software manufacturer?\nGreat Idea if you speak  Indian or Cantonese\n\n\n3. Call or bring the PC/Notebook in to the place you bought it?\nThis approach seldom works unless you bought it from a computer specialty store.\n\n\n4. Have a friend, neighbor, relative or co-worker fix it?\nI really like this idea, I generally make even more money than if you tried to fix it yourself.\n\n\n5. Call or bring the PC/Notebook to a PC support company like Geek Squad or Nerds on Line? (which)\nSure if you can afford them. Your local small computer business is a better bet, because they actually care about repeat business and their reputation.\n\n6. Other (please specify). \nBuy a new computer!

So is it not still under that warranty, I assume? (If it is send it in!) \n\nMany people buy broken laptops to either fix or strip of the other parts. I say put it up on ebay with a startng price of about $50, see if it sells for that, you may even get more, because it isn't that hard to buy and replace a harddrive! (Hell, I wouldn't mind fixing it, and I knwo how to do it! and I generally suck at computer things) It may just be more cost effective for you to get it fixed?\n\nHell, if you want to send it off and then have it shipped back to me, I'll give you $100!

Well, I would do a few things:  I would purchase one of those cans of compressed air - for cleaning computer keyboards - and go outside with the laptop, spray away!  Every nook and crevice you can spray in.  Flip it upside down, sideways, etc.  Open whatever compartments you can and spray in them too.  Just be sure the can has had a good shake and isn't running low, or the air will be moist.\n\nThen I would use lemon juice... not IN or ON the laptop itself, but open it up, keep it turned off and squirt some lemon juice around it - on the table/surface it's on.  This works, no joke!\n\nAnd you'll want to keep the laptop off as much as you possibly can because they will be attracted to the heat.  The next thing you know, you'll have fried little ants shorting out your sensitive electronics inside!

you need more memory.  go to any electronics store and get more, and just ask a sales rep there what would be best for your laptop.

If it is a new laptop, bring it back to the store, contact the manufacturer site for help.\nIf it is old, bring it to the store for repair, cause it is a hardware problem, more fix on your end only cause more trouble.\nKeyboard is a very robust device, so if it doesnt function as expected, it got to be hardware.

Go to the mfr's website (of your laptop) and look under support for downloads.  Most major vendors have the drivers available for download.  You may even find that there are newer drivers available.

call up tech support and tell them ur problem. i know some ppl who had HP laptops who had the same problem. they were told to download a patch which fixed the problem.\nbefore u do this, install some software that gives u ur system info. try belarc. search for it at www.download.com where u'll get it for free. if it sshows up as 1.25GHz, call up tech support or take ur PC back if u bought it from a store.

I used to have a Toshiba and it crashed and nobody can fix it. My suggestion: dump it and get a Gateway.

Forget the IBM!  You don't need the headaches\n\nGo for the HP, or go for Dell

Most companies for tech support with software issues will either suggest re-imaging every time(whether or not it works) or will charge an arm and a leg.  I would actually recommend that you find a computer shop close to you and count on help from them instead.  Figure out which laptop manufacturer you like, then find someone who is a certified to do repairs for them.  It will usually come out cheaper in the long run

Just get the installation CD and reinstall from scratch.  It will be a faster and healthier computer with a fresh installation.  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!
