Given a "broken" HP dv6704

Thanks all. I'll go ahead and give it a try. I don't mind if some "extra" buttons don't work. I did read some old posts on various websites a few weeks ago after a google search about some of that stuff being a pain to get working.

Sentimental about old hardware?

I have fond memories about my old C300. I had paid a friend who has/had a home IT business to build my first computer for me. It was based around a celeron 266. Within a month I had spent so much time o the internet learning about computers that I decided to get the new Celeron 300 and...

Given a "broken" HP dv6704

This laptop came from my girlfriends mom. She was having problems with it and she took it to a shop. The shop told her a virus had corrupted the motherboard and it would need a new one. Before she told us anything about this she bought a new laptop similar to this one. I assume she probably...

Installed Sapphire Radeon x1600 Pro - Problems

I wanted to connect my PC to our TV this weekend so I bought the x1600 to replace a ATI radeon card that didn't have any outputs. With the new card installed, on reboot, as soon as the log in screen is about to come up, my Dell 24" widescreen goes blank. If I put the old card back in or go...

Solid Website Hosting Deal, HostPC

I've been mostly satisfied with them as well. My biggest complaint is has to do with the fact I have been using their online site designer. They keep having to switch outside providers for the software.

Canon EOS20D at amazon for 1249, Nikon D50 for 583.

Remember that Canon has some good rebates as well. Not for certain if the buy before date is over yet though.

Did you ever think that maybe OP needed a computer and doesn't need/want the absolute latest and greatest? It could be that it will last him just fine for YEARS. For instance, a couple of months ago I got a Canon 20d. Which is my first DSLR. I knew that sometime this spring a replacement will...

Solder or Crimp in my new car stereo connections????

Crimp. Most professional car guys (not talking about stereo installers) use crimps. Soldering is to "stiff". If the wiring gets moved much it will weaken at the spot where it enters the solder.

Joint Accounts with Spouse?

What's the point of getting married if you aren't going to do things "jointly". If you do everything as individuals, your really just roommates. We just have "one" account, but everything is based on a budget. That way we can sort of keep track of spending. Not to keep each other from...

That's what I was thinking as well. Do they have updates that you can download for the Rebel? I just ordered a 20d last night and have heard some brands of cards don't work in it but you can update it so they will work.
