The Extensa 5220 screen comes apart without any other disassembly being necessary.
lj50: It's an Extensa. But I would assume that most laptops have the same construction. Arie: As a 20+ year computer builder and tech, I'm...
My 6-year-old Acer Extensa's screen has been gradually dimming over the last few years. By that I mean getting less bright. Is this caused by some...
Again, thanks, Antik. I'll try the /D switch. Cheers :-)
Thanks Antik, but filelist.txt, opened in Word, looks much the same as when it's opened in Notepad. Maybe some of those alternative commands will...
Thanks Antik. You said Did you mean 'Open filelist.txt with Word'? Or change the command to read: 'dir c:\*.txt/d/s>filelist.doc'?...
Thanks, TonyT - I thought there might be a catch to that conversion to Word - it sounded too good to be true. Antik, thanks also. That's a good...
Thanks, TonyT: Only problem with that method is that the output structure is quite different to the Windows Explorer arrangement. One method that...
Before you rush into print, please read my request carefully. I suspect the answer is not as simple as the title suggests. I'm trying to...
Antik, thanks again for the tip - CCleaner worked perfectly. I selected 1 pass (which is all I've ever done with my DOS-based Wipe Drive Pro) and...
Thanks guys, I didn't know CCleaner had that capability. Re the "writing zeros" facility, I only mentioned that because my WipeDrive Pro disc...
I'm running Windows 7. I have a slaved 160GB SATA hard drive (sitting in a USB Thermaltake dock, actually) and I want to completely nuke it -...
Thanks Arie, but my guy isn't prepared to spend that much for the recovery. Regarding the link that lj50 provided, I ended up going down the...
Thanks Neil. lj50, I think your link might just yield the info I'm looking for. It's a complex fix, but it seems to have the potential to cure my...
Hi guys. Thanks for your input. It doesn't seem like there's much chance of recovering my friend's data. Like, if Windows doesn't see the drive,...
A friend got the 'NTLDR is missing....' message on his 3-yearold XPPSP3 tower and employed an IT guy to fix it. The tech apparently ran FIXMBR...
Thanks guys. For some reason or other, I wasn't emailed\informed of any responses to my question, so I just checked in to see if anyone had...
Hi guys. A couple of my friends have moved town but still want me to carry on fixing their (XPPSP3 and W7) computers. I've not had much to do...
SpywareDr: Good call. It's a bit late for me now, though: should've started writing software thirty years ago when I had more bottle. We might all...
SpywareDr, thanks, but your suggested solution, while obvious for you, isn't practical for me, partly because I have caches of software all over...
