1 :
Blinking Charge usually means the battery cannot be charged properly. The battery pack is probably almost dead, check your battery in other laptop. remove dust from battery connection. or it could be mainboard or powerboard issue. go to repair shop, if it in warranty then go service center.
2 :
that has happened to me. what i did was i took my battery out, i blew on the battery and where it goes to remove any dust or anything and i put it back in and turn the laptop on and it worked. hope this helps :)
3 :
does it beep when you try to turn in on... if so look up the bios code... also was the battery charged at last removal, and its type....
4 :
I think your battery pack is not dead. You can take an external hard disk out and try again. If the problem persists, it could be the motherboard power supply.

3 :
The compaq is definitely better because compaq is now owned by HP and HP makes some of the best computer on the maket. Hp has surpassed even Dell in sales in recent years(i don't know who is on top now). The compaq has a bigger screen, more ram (very very important), a bigger harddrive, and the last thing is the operatin system. It is hard to find good games for linux. For college you would want a windows based computer or a mac based computer(mac cost more than windows based computers but they are more reliable). 512mb to 1gb of ram is significant, it is very important for multitasking and other things such as watching movie and such. The benq does have a better processor though in my opinion. Intels tend to last longer than AMD's but in the overall deal the compaq is much better. unless you are willing to upgrade the ram on the benq. then the benq will be much better. If you are not limited to compaq and benq then i suggest checking out the new inspiron line from dell. they are cheap and can be configured from a simple machine to a very highend machine.

You can't. That's your punishment for having benq JUNK. I've hooked my windows 7 HP pavilion to several printers and it has searched for drivers, found them and all work fine. Of course they are good scanners: Canon, Lexmark, HP and the like.

Benq Joybook Lite T131 laptop

Laptop randomly froze and had to take off battery to get it to turn off?
I just bought the new Benq Joybook Lite T131 laptop within this month, and while I was browsing the internet using Mozilla Firefox, the laptop suddenly froze. Holding down the on/off button did not turn it off however long I held it down, and my only solution was to take off the battery. After I put the battery back in and turned on the laptop, it is working fine. What could have been the problem?? I was thinking that it might have been heat issues but I was in a very well-ventilated area??!! help!! Is it a problem with the laptop itself??

Depends.. were you running a whole load of programs? It's normal to freeze when you have a lot of things running. Trust me. It's nothing too strange for that to happen. Even if you did have to take out the battery it's probably a slight problem. If you still aren't satisfied, call up Benq tech support and ask them.
2 :
The most likely cause is a bloated registry which has become the home for all kinds of useless bits and pieces of data. Whenever any change is made to the system settings or a program is installed or uninstalled, a new entry is generated in the registry. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There is a multitude of useless bits and pieces to be removed.Parts of uninstalled programs,parts of incompletely installed programs,dead drivers and many other things. clean your registry and remove all the useless data fragments and no longer needed information to fix the freeze error! I should like to commend Registry Easy http://make-a-computer-run-better.com to you ! You can try ! Good luck!

You should be able to order a replacement recovery cd for your laptop from the supplier, try their website Hope this helps Rob www.robinclapworthy.com
2 :
Just backup important files to you. Music, pictures ect. ect. Then do a system recovery. You only need to put pictures and other important files into a new folder you have created and burn them onto a DVD-R and music also but on a different DVD-R. If you have vista, just type in recovery manager in the search bar in the start menu. XP, this explains it for you. http://commandwindows.com/recovery.htm
3 :
If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press ENTER. (If Repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not include Startup Repair as a preinstalled recovery option.) Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next. Select a user name and enter the password, and then click OK. On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair might prompt you to make choices as it tries to fix the problem and, if necessary, it might restart your computer as it makes repairs. Be sure to keep your Windows installation disc in a safe place. If your computer came with Windows preinstalled and you do not have an installation disc, check the information that came with your computer to learn about recovery options Cheers

Any laptop suggestions for multimedia student?

Any laptop suggestions for multimedia student?
I have asked several technicians, but all of them have suggested different brands of laptop such as Asus, Dell and BenQ.. I was actually planning to get a Dell XPS M1530 because i read alot review that says Dell has good warrenty which i'm not sure if its true, but also review that says BenQ is as good as Dell XPS which is another great option for multimedia. I'm not sure which laptop is the best to get because i do not want to waste my parents money so i need to make sure that i choose the right laptop that is very useful and also worth the price. I really hope that i can get some feedback from the laptop users so that i can make the right decision. Please and Thank you.

4 :
Dell xps laptops are nice, but they can be more expensive then a Dell Insperon laptop. If you customize your own insperon laptop from the Dell website you can get a higher end insperon that is almost as powerful, if not just as powerful then an xps, for a smaller price.

Apple Macs are great and come with a good warranty, but they are a lot of money.

most media students and company's i know use Macbooks they tend to be very quick and powerful and have lots of built in video and graphic editing tools

BenQ Joybook 5100

Laptop RAM Upgrade?
My current laptop BenQ Joybook 5100 has 512MB ram installed. It consists of 2x256MB modules. On both of them it lists: Infineon, PC2700, 256MB, DDR, 333, CL2.5 and another: Kingston, KVR333X64SC2.5/256 2.5V From the existing modules, I can see that it is 200-pin SO-DIMM DDR 333MHz. I'll like to upgrade to perhaps 1GB, can I install other modules that is running DDR 400MHz? It doesn't matter if the modules end up running at 333MHz rather than 400MHz. As my main concern is that I'm not sure if the DDR 400MHz would work in my laptop. Thanks all!

http://www.crucial.com run the system scanner, it will tell you what upgrade options you have.
2 :
The 400mhz ram should be able to step down to 333. As long as its not like DDR or something Just when you replace it, remove both of the current sticks and replace with 2x 512 or 1x1024mb. Dont mix unlike size and speed ram.
3 :
you'd need to check the manufacturer. your laptop BIOS may only support a maximum of 512mb.
4 :
Yes, the 400 would work and as you pointed out, it would be downgraded to running at 333 IF there's another 333 in there or the motherboard cannot run the 400mhz. Sometimes the motherboard can handle faster ram but that's not what's installed so if you remove all of the 333, the 400 may run at 400. You'd have to find the specs for your laptop to be sure.
5 :
Don't know about DDR 400MHz. Go to: http://www.datamemorysystems.com/
6 :
as long as it is the same time of memory(some laptops can be picky) and it has the some number of pins it will run. make sure its the same voltage, 200 pin ddr
7 :
go with Gene's suggestion.. that way you know what you're getting and it will tell you what the maximum amount of ram is for your puter and what you can put in each slot.
8 :
I agree with gene also... run a diagnostic on your MB and see what it will accept. Why put 333 in when your MB can handle 400? IF it can that is. Memory is ficle. Do your homework.

1. You need first connect your laptop to your wireless network. 2. Next, you must connect your laptop to your Xbox 360. 3. Go to Start Menu then go to Run and type ncpa.cpl. 4. Then select your local area connection and right click. When you right click, you will be able to find the sharing tab. 5. Here, you must remember not to allow the other network users to connect to the internet through this computer. All that you need to do here is to uncheck the first box. 6. Once you have unchecked the first box click Ok. 7. As a next step, you should create a bridge between your local area connection and your wireless network connection. 8. At times, you might get an error message where the error message will say that you need two connections, which are not used by the internet. If you get that error message, you try to create a bridge for your wireless network connection too. This should solve your problem. 9. As a next step, select the system blade by going to the dashboard of your Xbox 360. Here you need to edit the network settings. 10. Here go to basic settings tab, select the following options IP Address, IP Settings, Subnet Mask, and Gateway and press A. Choose the Automatic options and then click on A. 11. Click B and test the Xbox live connection. If the test runs without any problem, you have succeeded in flashing Xbox 360 with laptop. There is more than one method for flashing Xbox 360 with laptop. Rather than getting confused with too many methods, try to master just one method and stick to it so that you can avoid confusions.

Can a Benq DS550 dlp projector hook up to a DVD player?
I'm looking to purchase a projector to play DVD's and i'm not sure if this one will play them or not. I did find out that its compatable with video, but not component video, but I do not have a clue what this means. I am able to hook one up to a dvd player, ps2, or laptop.

The DS550 is an old projector (See link). You could watch DVDs via a laptop as long as you have a driver that will work at 1280x1024 or less. You MAY be able to connect a DVD player via a component to VGA adapter (many projectors accept this), and will be able to connect via composite (yellow RCA) ... although the picture quality won't be great. The 450:1 contrast ratio is borderline for video (it will look somewhat washed out) .. but it will work. Bottom line --- you can connect but you won't get a great picture. It would be preferable to find a better projector (one with a 16:9 aspect ratio, better contrast ratio and that accepts a digital HDTV input (DVI or HDMI)). Many other better options are available in the $600+ range. See elsewhere on the linked site for reviews and recommendations. Hope this helps.

It'll probably cost alot of money to get it fixed, if it's not under warranty. It's a risk, but you can open up your laptop and see if the keyboard is connected properly. It's pretty straightforward on my Fujitsu notebook, but your mileage may vary. If you want to send it back to the manufacturer, you'll have to pay for shipping + service + parts (if necessary). It could easily cost $200-300. Another alternative is to search for "laptop repair" in Google and take your chances on a third party laptop repair service. Good luck.

Doesn't have to be, my laptop had a similar fault, i now use a usb Cherry keyboard. and could cost u at least 130 Dollar, although most likely more. so USB Keyboard is the best bet matey, you could always check by borrowing a keyboard from a mate or from work. don't think its Hardware.
3 :
Just upgrade to a Macintosh and all these moronic problems will go away.
4 :
Could you please explain what DOES NOT WORK CORRECLTY means? Does it work at all? Do some of the keys works, but not others? Do some keys result in the wrong charcters? etc. etc. If even one key works then the chip controller that works the keyboard is fine. Usually, there is a liquid spilled on the keyboard that shorts out the wiring traces and garbles the signal sent to the controller chip....
5 :
Answer...For second time...pls don't post same question twice... Depends of keyboard type from 19 till 99$ for keyboard . But you Can try by yourself to fix it - just check connector - probably it it not switched. Go to here and see images how to fix or get new one - http://www.laptopsforless.com/installation1.htm
6 :
just buy a keyboard with a usb adapter on it so you can use the keyboard don't buy a usb keyboard they will ask for more just buy a keyboard and adapter to conncet on to the the keyboard cable then into the usb port
7 :
So, faster check whether the warranty still valid or not!

The screen resolution will not fix the problem. You need to adjust the size of the "border" (not sure of the technical term) of the screen in the settings menu. Refer to the manual that came with the computer to adjust this border. If you can't fix it then, you should talk to a computer technician. if he can't fix it, you should return it. Good luck!
2 :
Some programs are designed to run at certain resolution and if your small machine doesn't support it, you might be out of luck. Call tech support of the company, that makes your computer. Ask them what they think about it.

It's possible you have a manufacture defect, I had the same problem when I purchased a laptop. Do you have extended warranty. It's a good idea to take it to a technician, possibly where you bought it. They'll determine what's the source of the problem.
2 :
This could be corrupt operating system files or the hard drive having bad disc sectors. Reinstall the operating system. Replace the hard drive and install operating system. Correct procedure to turn off: close all programs, go to start desk top screen, click log off, at next screen click turn off. To turn on press power on button and wait for log in screen.

Can a BENQ monitor be connected to a macbook pro laptop as well?

Can a BENQ monitor be connected to a macbook pro laptop as well?
Thanks to someone, they told me Yes, if you buy the right adapter. The miniDisplayPorts or miniDVI ports on iMacs, Macbooks and Mac Minis will work with any VGA or DVI monitor, as long as you have the right adapter. MY Next question is i have a macbook pro laptop and what is the best adaptor to get , and what is it called? also what adaptor do i need to connect the BENQ and AOC or NOC (not sure wat it is ) monitor together so i am able to use both monitors at the same time :) and when i do connect the adaptor how do i set it up so both screens interact at the same time?

The current Macbook Pros (early 2009 till now) have a miniDisplayPort. For monitors that have a DVI port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-DVI adapter: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0ODY and a standard digital DVI monitor cable. For monitors (and HDTVs) that have an HDMI port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable: http://www.amazon.com/Value-Pack-DisplayPort-Displayport-interface/dp/B0021YG5FM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1265688736&sr=1-1 For monitors that only have the old analog VGA port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-VGA adapter and a standard VGA monitor cable: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0NjA You should use a digital connection (DVI or HDMI) whenever possible. Macs work best with digital connections. Just hook up your Macbook Pro to whatever monitor you are getting with the appropriate adapter and cable, and your Macbook Pro should automatically detect the monitor.

You have probably turned on the numeric keypad. Hit the fn key and the num lk keys, normally in blue, then hit it again. I think one will turn off the scroll lock which is on the same key as the num lock, then the other press will turn off the num lock.

Laptops & Notebooks - 1 Answers

The D drive probably won't be formatted because it's the one that holds all the recovery information... this procedure won't necessarily format the C drive either but it will do recovery. Hopefully it'll fix any problems without a full format. Remember, formatting means that your C drive is deleted, or at least everything on it, so you'll want to avoid that if at all possible. To open recovery console: If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press ENTER. (If Repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not include the System Recovery Options menu as a preinstalled recovery option.) Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next. Select a user name and enter the password, and then click OK. On the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.
