RAM Came

June 2nd, 2008 by admin

Today the two 64mb Ram Cards that I ordered from eBay for my Dell Inspiron 3200 has arrived today. I was excited to have put them in but I made myself do it after I had lunch in the afternoon. I am glad I did.

Patience brings good things as some may say. And it was good for me because both ram cards worked perfectly maxing out the total RAM the laptop can take which is 144mb. May not be much but more than enough to make it work smoothly

Tomorrow I await a new Hard drive for it.

Giving up on Laptop

May 30th, 2008 by admin

I tried fixing my Lenovo Laptop today and for about 15 hours I have gotten absolutely ZERO progress. I was not able to even restore it properly. All the problems remain and after a last restore it wouldn’t even let me turn it on properly.

I may actually have to call up my college in a few weeks when they open back up to ask them if they can help me restore it all. Hopefully they can do something about it, more than I can.

Laptop Broken?

May 30th, 2008 by admin

I know I said I fixed a Dell laptop a few days ago but this is not about that. My old Lenovo laptop that was given to me by my college just under a year ago just stopped working properly last night. I believe the hard drive is corrupted so I can’t restore or even install the operating system all over again because the thing is locked with a password.

Hopefully I can fix this because it is my favorite laptop in the house. I am on an HP Laptop and this is great too but I am more comfortable using my old Lenovo. I am trying another restoration now, hopefully I can get something done.

Wireless Adapter

May 29th, 2008 by admin

Just a few minutes ago I won an auction on eBay where I bought a good wireless adapter card in order to test the internet connectivity on my newest fixed laptop. I also plan to use this in future laptop fixes and hopefully it works out.

The operating system used is windows 98 and I had to make sure that the wireless card supported that otherwise I would have had a headache when it came. This also means the card is a bit older than the ones you see in laptops today, but hey, whatever works.

Buying RAM

May 28th, 2008 by admin

Today I ordered two RAM Cards from eBay hoping that they will fit my dell laptop well enough. Both are from different auctions and they are both 64 megabytes in memory size. I am hoping they get here soon and are compatible with my laptop.

I want to upgrade the laptop because I want to install windows XP and hoping that it will work perfectly. I know the motherboard and CPU is very old but I am hoping to work my magic through this and make it work.

Fixing Laptop (Post 1)

May 28th, 2008 by admin

Well this is the first post where I tell you about my laptop fixing scheme. I bought a Dell Inspiron 3200 Laptop last week on ebay and it arrived last week but I had to wait for the power adapter. I finally got to fixing it yesterday and so far I have done a great job at it because this afternoon it worked perfectly.

But earlier this evening when I went to show my father of my accomplishment i was not turning on. I had to take it apart about three times before realizing the processor kept getting loose. And once I had to remove one of the RAM Cards. It is annoying but hopefully I’ll be able to get it ready soon to be able to sell it off.

Antivirus

May 9th, 2008 by admin

As the name suggests, an antivirus is the anti-virus meaning if your computer has a virus in it, an anti-virus program such as AntivirusWare will detect the virus, trojan, or worm, and delete it from your computer or at least quarantine the file if it is not deletable.

One of the most famous and well known antivirus program is known as Norton Antivirus and this is one I have plenty of experience with dealing with in the past for many years on my old computer. It works great and it is awesome in detecting viruses and actually being able to delete them. Antivirus is here to help all of us from the means of software virus.
