I have a friend with a problem.

"I have a laptop that wont even boot. numberlock button flashes then the power light goes out"

Do you have any thoughts?

Also my own laptop did something weird today. I turned it off last night and it installed an update.

When I booted up this morning, it told me it could not find the profile. Then it loaded up into a new profile.

I logged off as that user and my normal profile was there then.

Thoughts on that one?

Arwen:

For the laptop that won't power off: try removing the battery and remove the power supply connect, wait 3 min, leave the battery out and then connect via power supply to see if it will boot up. What kind of laptop is this?

For your profile: it may be nothing other than a hiccup but definitely watch it for a little bit.

It's a Dell Inspirion 1200. I've got a Dell Latitude D600 refurb. :) I'll tell him. grin! Love you. Thanks! If that works, is it a bad battery?

Possibly. How long has he had this laptop and battery combo? Rechargeable batteries do a finite life to them (usually 2-3 years) and cost about $50-200 to replace. The Rechargeable Battery industry does have a recycling program in place (check at Radio Shack to see if they have a box) where you can drop off batteries (particularly NiCads) if that is the culprit.

I have an HP Pavilion, less than 6 months old. My parents don't have high speed internet so when I try to get online there I have to use dialup. It's worked fine in the past, but recently it won't connect. I log on to AOL and can hear the dial tone. I can hear my pc dialing in but it will not connect. Could it be a modem problem or maybe a side effect of a virus? I even uninstalled AOL and reinstalled a newer version, and downloaded new drivers. Same problem.

It's been a while since I've done modem internet. Since you are getting a dialtone that suggests that the modem is ok. From the time it did work to now was anything installed/added/changed (particular areas to focus on are firewall/AV software)?

Have you also followed the following steps as outlined by AOL itself: http://tinyurl.com/yl3updn

Mac


Hi there Linus! lol

Loving my new Mac but have a couple of questions..

when I highlight to change font color all the HTML code shows.. also shows on other peoples posts etc... i cant find where to change this

there is no backspace button.. the delete button moves backwards and I miss the delete button sitting still while all the crap i want to delete magically gets sucked up into this delete button.

any thoughts?

Do you mean when replying? As for seeing the code, you may need to change the editor being used. Which browser is it? Safari or Firefox?

I don't understand what you mean by this. Do you mean what the backarrow would do (move the cursor) or did you mean something different?

There is normally a backspace button.

I'm really kind of starting to feel unloved here, Linus. :(

Is it cuz I didn't pay upfront? :(

Linus 11-12-2009 03:53 PM
Ah..

Yes, use Firefox. Safari sometimes doesn't render all HTML properly.

And an extended keyboard might be the answer. You can get a USB external or re-learn life without. I never used it before so I don't miss it (I do miss the page down buttons).
