Area 51 m17x Ribbon Cable Replacement

I didn't find what I was looking for through Google or eBay, but I did eventually come across a mention of DigiKey on a forum. I found a compatible ribbon cable there, and the laptop is up and running 100% now. Thanks.

Area 51 m17x Ribbon Cable Replacement

Hey everyone, I just bought a used Alienware A51 m17x that wouldn't power on via the touch panel(but will turn on via the emergency power switch next to the cpu). I removed the panel and found that the flat ribbon cable connecting the panel to the mobo has broken contacts at one end. The flat...

BEST 3-MONITOR GAMING: AMD Eyefinity vs NVIDIA Surround & Samsung 245BW vs HP ZR24W

I've played games like Amnesia, Dead Island, Left 4 Dead 1/2, Metro 2033, Riddick/Dark Athena, Batman: AA, Crysis, SC 2, etc. I couldn't give you any numbers because I've never run FRAPS or anything.

BEST 3-MONITOR GAMING: AMD Eyefinity vs NVIDIA Surround & Samsung 245BW vs HP ZR24W

I have no experience with AMD cards or IPS panels, so I cannot comment on that. However, I've been running a pair of 1GB 460's since release in NV Surround @ 5990x1200 on a trio of 245BW's. It is an older monitor setup(circa 2007) but games look great. I have had no problems running any of...

Food cravings and weight loss

The key is moderation. Through 2006, my day wasn't complete unless I drank two liters of Coke, ate loads of fried and sugary food for all of my meals and snacks and finished it off with a half-box of ice cream. I'm 6'4" and at the time weighed 318 pounds so I wasn't in terrible shape, but I...

Is working out in the morning a bad idea?

I feel better when I work out in the morning. I wake up, eat, go to the gym then head to work with a burst of energy that carries me through the day. You will burn more calories this way, opposed to working out in the evening then going to bed soon after.

How much water do you drink in a day...?

I drink one gallon of water a day, plus 1-2 protein shakes with 8oz milk. I hate coffee and gave up sodas and tea a few years ago and don't miss them.

HP PSC 750 printer install problem

Hey, my parents got me an HP PSC 750 a few weeks ago. I was installing the drivers for it, when my CD-ROM(Kenwood 42X) froze up the install at 19%, so I had to reboot. When I tried to reinstall the drivers, I got an error stating that the drivers could not be installed, because drivers were...
