    Removing cut laptop locks from laptop

    LOL. Well it was only 8$ so the purchasing guys had no problem ordering it for me. If it doesn't work.... I don't know what I will do. Maybe try another locksmith? If it does work it still means I have to take each laptop apart to get the bolt out of the case of the laptop, which will...

    Removing cut laptop locks from laptop

    I wasn't surprised that there weren't tons of articles out there about how to hack off laptop locks. I AM the laptop support here. Before I worked here, the techs didn't even test the laptops. If they powered on, they were redeployed. I called a locksmith and he said he couldn't pick...

    Removing cut laptop locks from laptop

    I fix Dell laptops (lattitudes) where I work. We've had quite a few come back with the laptop locks cut and the combination lost, so the lock and a bit of cable is dangling from computer. How can I remove these? A bolt cutter? Then I just need to open the case up to remove the part that's...

    Wireless mice and surfaces

    My old Logitech MX700 loved the cloth surface of my couch. It was dead-on accurate. I had to get a new wireless keyboard/mouse because my keyboard died (and I hated the charging station thing - makes it almost impossible to move from machine to machine), and I've tried several Logitech...

    your 2005fpw Display settings?

    I left my brightness at 100. I tried it at different settings, but the difference was mild and I like the extra bright and crisp look when it's cranked.

    Viewsonic VX2025wm or Dell 2005FPW

    Maybe I don't understand your question about text, but can't you just turn the font size up?

    Which 20-21" monitor do you have? How satisfied? [POLL]

    Loving my 2005FPW. Annoyed that a month after I bought it the price dropped by 50$.

    Who has a Dell 2005FPW with *no* backlight bleeding?

    Yeah, it makes sense that the problems get the publicity. I've seen pictures in threads on this forum of perfect monitors. Mine isn't perfect, but it isn't terible either.

    Viewsonic VX2025wm arrived! First impressions and pics

    Thinking about getting lcd directly from dell

    In my experience, Dell will support the hell out of you. I swapped one because of backlight bleeding and they didn't ask a single question or bat an eye. Just overnighted me a new monitor.

    Debating over Dell 2005FPW.

    I picked up one a few weeks ago and I can't get over how cool it is. Mine had some backlight bleeding, so I had Dell ship me a replacement. The replacement was 3X worse, and although I could have continued swapping monitors until I got a perfect one, I decided I was too lazy to do that and...

    How's YOUR 2005fpw

    Bad backlight bleeding. I am in the process of getting a new one. As long as Dell pays for all the shipping, I don't have a big problem exchanging several until I get a good one. And that's because otherwise I love everything about this monitor, including its price. Also I upgraded to the...

    Just got my Dell 2005FPW

    My 2005fpw arrived yesterday. Fairly bad backlight bleeding from what I have read around here, but I just can't tell unless I am specifically testing it. I am going to get as many games as I can installed on my machine and really test it and see. Doom3 with lots of darkness should be a good...

    basic questions about new machine from an old guy

    Oh, it's not required? Very interesting. Exactly how closely matched do two sticks of RAM have to be in order to turn on dual channel? Same size, or down to the CAS speed (or whatever they have nowadays)?

    basic questions about new machine from an old guy

    Thanks guys. Call me closeminded but I am terrified of a ULI chipset. I suffered terribly from the early via chipsets (starting from the slot A athlon classic), and just don't have the testicular fortitude to experiment at all. I have my heart set on an nvidia chipset this time around...
