Or just buy an LCD panel, as I can fit.

I tried installing Windows 7 on my X40 thinking that i can restore back to factory setting using the service partition. Unfortunately the Windows 7 installation has made it impossible for me to press the blue button (AccessIBM) to restore back to factory installed XP.

Okay, the careless me spilled alot of water onto my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop last night. I think most of it went into the keyboard portion. I unplugged the AC cord and the power is still okay. It was running all fine , I tried to dab it with cloth. The exterior is dry but suddenly the keyboard keys went bonkers and some keys cannot work.

So the silly me when to restart computer. The boot is fine uptill the windows logon page where they require the password, lol. So now I'm kinda stuck there. I pried open some keys and fixed them back but now, the whole keyboard stopped functioning.

One time, it booted with a "Keyboard Error-reseat keys" or something of that sort.

I'm lost. What should i do? Should i pry open the keyboard and then put it back again, how do I ensure the motherboard and the files in my system are all intact?

Should I go buy a new keyboard and change it? If so, which shop offers such stuff?

I removed the battery all night and dry it, this morning, still the same, can reboot, mouse worked fine, and touch pad is okay, just the keys not working at all ]]> velasco http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=510184 What to do with old good condition notebook? http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=509544&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:47:16 GMT I am intending to change a new notebook as I felt that my current notebook is slowing down on me. ...

Guys, I have been out of touch with the laptop scene and would need some help from you guys. Basically, these are the specs and the uses that I need for my laptop.

1.) 14' Screen size
2.) 3GB RAM
3.) Essentially used for software development(.Net, DBs) and presentations
4.) Preferably Win7

My budget is around SGD$1500.

1 more thing, Acer laptops are absolutely out of the question as I have had very bad experiences with their products. Preferably Dell, HP or Toshiba.

Any help from you guys would be much appreciated.
