How to boost wi-fi range? What products to buy....


Posted Sunday March 4 2012, 3:53 am

Have money- ready to buy..// Here's some history..
I'm an online student, currently with an iPhone and Verizon with hotspot. I can't afford it much longer, and would like to be prepared so I can get internet access someway. I have laptop with Vista (yuck) and intel adapters. My ability to see networks is not good. Can't even see iPhone when it's right beside it. I guess i want to have stronger wifi ability. about 1/2 mile, i have a friend that let's me use his signal. I have to walk there. I need to extend my range? I'm really just a few blocks down the road. If i had his signal at my house.....I have a D-Link DI-604, my intel wireless card 2200BG. I am ready right now to buy something online. so, what should i get?

Java(TM) 6 Update 26 error 1723 missing dll -- SOLUTION


Posted Saturday February 25 2012, 4:55 pm

So yesterday my windows 7 was working just fine, until I got an update for my Javascript. I opened it and began my update it seemed to be going well until it was initializing the download. A pop up 'error 1723 missing dll' came up then I was redirected to Java.com's help page.

They have this error listed, but as for the reason of why it happens, it's under unknown. :( Well I did what they have listed to do, I uninstalled all other older listings of Java as well as failed attempts. I had 3, I don't really remember what they were under, but two were uninstalled normally, but the third would pop up the error when I tried to uninstall it too. So I ran Regedit and found Java(TM) 6 Update 26 and deleted it. Then I restarted my lap...

My computer won't turn off!


Posted Monday February 20 2012, 10:05 pm

I have an emachines laptop. It is in great condition, however, I opened it this morning to use it, and it has a black screen yet the green power button remains on. I try to shut it down by holding this button but it will not react to anything. No screen light, no sounds, just the sound of it running! I don't know what to do and I have so many school assignments due tomorrow and my laptop is going nuts! Help!?

I want to repair my Brother MFC-885CW printer.


Posted Thursday February 9 2012, 2:59 am

The above is a Brother printer that became inoperative recently. I would like to repair it because Brother repair centres charge $75 just to look at it, plus parts! I understand from the information I gave to Brother that the power board is the likely culprit, because after showing an error (which I have forgotten, sorry) it STOPPED functioning completely. It is dead! Thus I need to know:
1) How do I GET INTO the printer,
2) Using my testing meter and soldering iron, how do I find out what's wrong and what might I replace or repair?
Your answer might be that I am too vague, or it might simply be that I should replace that board, in which case what is that part and where might I get it?
Thank you.

Should I buy the IPad?


Posted Friday February 3 2012, 9:43 pm

Hello,

I need your guys' advice.

I am a college student always on the go. I am commuting to school four times a week and going to straight to work afterwards. I currently have a laptop (dell inspiron 1545 17 inch). And honestly, it is really heavy to carry around. Especially since I am taking four classes every day. I have to carry my textbooks and everything including my laptop.

I would also like to use it at work. I work with children and I don't want to be carrying around a 17in laptop around especially since we are constantly moving.

I am a little on the fence on buying it though. I know that it would make my life so much easier. I wouldn't have to carry my big laptop around t...

Selling on eBay!


Posted Thursday January 19 2012, 3:23 am

Hi, I really need some help on eBay!

I've bought plenty of items on eBay using paypal but I sold my first two items the other day. The buyers paid straight away as it said 'payment pending' on eBay. It took about 3 days and was still payment pending. One of the buyers emailed me and said I had to link my paypal account or something??? That doesn't make sence, it must be linked somehow because I have bought things on eBay before. So I did something to my account (not sure what!) and the money is now in my paypal account for both transactions. My problem is that on eBay it still says payment pending two days later. I am worried because I haven't shipped my items yet and I don't know what to do! Can someone please help?! Thanks! :)

Weird virus scan..


Posted Monday January 16 2012, 12:37 pm

This program called "Windows 7 Avista" keeps giving me warnings on my computer, saying it is about to get hijacked and is full of viruses such as Trojan, worms, and other security threats. It wants me to register and purchase a virus cleanup that costs 79 bucks. Every time I try to turn up my volume on my computer, it always pops up. I've never downloaded Windows 7 Avista, and when I open up my antivirus system to scan my computer, no threats come up. I am so confused and this is annoying. Can anyone tell me what to do or how to fix this?
