old computer acting odd by Bill Cunningham[_2_]
My computer has been booting fine and there's no picture sometimes. I restart it, sometimes several times. I will get words on the screen as it's booting that are "fuzzy". IMO I think the video chip is going. It's never really acted that way til lately. It's 14 yo. I can expect something :) Bill

I love this printer. Now suddenly it only prints grey, whether color or b&w. I put in new cartridges - same result. Anything I can try? I'd sure like to keep the printer. Thanks JW

What USB devices work through passive hub? by micky
What USB devices should work through a passive hub? My old laptop had 3 USB ports but I needed at least 4. I assumed that it was better to copy files to a flashdrive without putting a hub in the middle. Same for my USB speakers. OTOH, my mouse and keyboard xmit so little that I figured they...

I have an issue with my hinge. I have a Dell Latitude D820 and randomly the hinge has lost its tork. The screen is loose and falls down unless I prop it up.

Is there a hardware limitation to prevent 4 monitors (distributedacross a Radeon 6850 and a V4900)? by Ash[_5_]
I have a PC with 3 multihead graphics devices, but I'm unable to have more than 3 monitors at once. I'm using a P8H77-V motherboard. It has built-in Intel HD graphics (display port, DVI, HDMI). This seems to work (although I don't really plan on using it). I've got an AMD FirePro V4900 plugged...

LG 55UJ6300 Need Help by [email protected]
This old fart is in trouble. I bought a new LG 55UJ6300 so-called 'smart' TV the other day, from Electronic Express, and it came with minimal guidance at best - no manual at all for the remote - useless manual for the TV. I have had no response from my emails to the seller - no surprise. They...
