XPS A2420 (Dell All-in-one) - Motherboard seems un-removable

I am trying to replace a bad motherboard in this All-in-one unit. I have drilled down to the motherboard but cannot remove it. I don't see any other screws or latches, but something is holding this board in place. I can barely budge it. Does anybody know what the special "trick" is for...

1tb ssd $250

Honestly, for the most sought after models (read: samsung evo), i think that is a bit too optimistic. But for the drives that do not have the marketing campaign behind them that Samsung definitely has, i'm thinking 512GB may fall to $125ish. The Evo is in so much demand that i do not expect to...

Actual dimensions of 27 inch 1080 monitor?

Is 21.6 the actual panel height (disregarding the stand, in other words)? That seems rather large. That makes the panel height almost 2 feet. BenQ web site states display size in mm as: 598 x 336 25.4 mm = 1 inch 336/25.4 = 13.2 inches height for display (seems accurate) 13.2 inches +...

Actual dimensions of 27 inch 1080 monitor?

I am trying to figure out if the 27 inch BenQ XL2720Z will fit on my corner desk where i have a hutch on the right and left sides (that I know will be obscured to some extent). Could somebody tell how many inches in H x W the panel needs? Thanks, Wedge1

Gamestop PC Spring Sale

I bought Far Cry 3 based on outstanding reviews, but after trying it out, I will not start it up again. There is a keyboard mapping problem, i.e., keyboard mapping doesn't work for all keys that get changed. It is hit or miss. Bummer because it seems great otherwise.

Need Gateway M320 sound driver - having no luck

Here is the complete package: https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/screen-part-number/B140XTT01.0/ It is only $89.99, but it is out of stock. I've replaced LCDs before, but never a touch screen. Is it difficult to separate the digitizer from the bad LCD and reassemble it with the new?

Where can I find a power switch like this?

Thank you both. I guess if I had thought to google "atx front power switch" or something similar, I would have scored. But I was thinking this was probably proprietary to the Compaq PC I am repairing. My bad for a flawed assumption.

60hz IPS vs 120HZ TN for gaming?

I am not so sure this is true. Don't blast me because I currently don't have a source to back this up, but I believe the refresh rate of a digital signal doesn't equate to the refresh rate of an analog. And if we were talking analog, I would agree with you. But I have seen too many people...
