Attn Computer Geeks

Speaking as someone who services laptops (among other computers) for a living, your problem isn't terribly unusual. The problem with laptops is they tend to get banged around and knocked around and sooner or later stuff breaks loose inside or just breaks. I would explore (in this order) a bad battery, bad connectors, bad power supply.
 
well blue i think getting a new computer AND fixing the old one was a good idea, because as you said it would make a good backup and serve as a new little if i may say it "toy" for your daughter.
 
yeah..she at the age now where she can do some things on it. Im typing on my new one atm :D. I like it, just have to get used to windows vista.
 
actually vista is quite awesome you may like it..... but if you are wise you wont mess with your programs.... lol i deleted the video drive on mine and now it wont play videos lmao but now i have a desktop with xp so im good
 
I would like to remove norton from it. Havent figured out how to do that just yet. Im not sure what is needed and what isnt. The store offered to "optimize" it for me for a hundred bucks, i told them no id do it myself..lol
 
thats good thinkin the store optimized my dads and umm... lets just say, he had to reinstall internet explorer, microsoft office, norton security, windows media player and a bunch of other things.... common sense dictates not to delete half of that stuff but hey what do i know im just a punk teen
