I have a dirty mouse and need to clean it as the wheel is sticking. Problem is that I can't even open it! It's a PS2 mouse, which I believe it's actually called a 'Microsoft Intellimouse', with 2 buttons and a wheel. I tried to undo the 'catches' at the sides...'that part seemed successful,...

Hi, The CD drive in my Easy Note VX laptop appears to have failed, and I need to replace it. I can source a replacement easily enough, but I'm having trouble removing the old one. Can someone tell me how the CD drive is secured to the casing, or provide a service manual for the Easy Note VX...

I won't have my own monitor till next week, so I borrowed my father's monitor, for an automatic setup of a Packard Bell computer. Both monitors are flatscreens and new, but they're different makes. If I just connect my own, will the computer detect it correctly?

Hi, My original hard drive has failed and I had to buy another a hitachi 80 Gb unfortunately it is not seen in the BIOS, I would imagine that the bios is too old to recognise the size of this new drive. I looked at IBM /Hitachi website to see if I can get a hard drive manager that would be able...

I have an old Packard Bell 486 system which I am using as a Linux router, and it is performing well. The system battery is dead, though, and I don't know what voltage external battery to use. The unit has the following information on it: Front - PB 1666CD Back - Model PB440A If someone could tell...

I got a "replacement" CNR modem this morning from 'Regis' in Canada via this NG, and rushed to put it into the pc as I was desperate to get my own machine online again. Wishful thinking I'm afraid! The modem is not the same as the one I need. You'll never believe this (or maybe you will), but...

The power supply in my Multimedia 7900 recently died and I also have an old Legand 4610 lying around that has seen better days, but the power supply apparently still works. Frankly, I've been hearing a lot of horror stories about Packard Bell proprietary parts and I was just wondering if I could...

This has only happened twice, tonight and one time several months ago. I turned on the computer and I noticed the clock was an hour behind. Without making any changes, I restarted the computer and went into the BIOS setup to check the system time. The system time was correct. I exited the BIOS...
