I’ve had this laptop about a year now, it’s spent a lot of time on a bed which means the air-intakes are sucking air up from through my matress, and hence there might be a lot of crap in there. Does anyone know the best way of cleaning it up?
I’ve never cleaned it before, so advice on giving it a proper spring clean inside, and out (i.e. internal circuit boards/fans and under the keys o the keyboard) would be gratefully appreciated. I don’t really mind about voiding any warranties, putting the laptop at risk, so please don’t suggest I take it to a professional, but if you do offer risky advice, please state that somewhere in your response :).
Also links to maintenance manuals or anything would be cool too..I would like to know how to safely get at the innards and know how to get it all back together when I’ve finished.

Cheers All

I would have to make this cd by myself when I on it first time but I did not it that time can I make window back up cd now there is alos a recovery disk creation option will i have to use this option and I asked same question with hp helper and they replied me…….as I would request you to reinstall the windows either through recovery partition if recovery partition has been shipped with the Notebook by performing the below mention workaround.

1. Press the power button to turn on the PC, and press F11 on the keyboard immediately while the computer is starting up. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager window will appear.

2. Click advanced options, select the System recovery option, and then click next.

3. If the Recovery Solution can access the hard drive it displays a prompt to backup up user files before continuing the recovery. You may either backup your files, or skip the backup and recover the operating system.

4. If the Recovery Solution cannot access the hard drive to fix the system errors, use the set of Recovery disks that you created to recover the hard drive to its original condition.

Note: – Personal data and software you have installed on the notebook will be lost during the OS reinstall. HP recommends that you make a backup copy of all personal data before beginning this process. HP is not responsible for any data loss.

Regarding dual boot operating system I would also need to inform you that HP does not recommend dual boot of operating system.

but I m still confused I m not that clear is anybody know and has done this thing so plz guide me step by step easily plz i will be ve

I am replacing the CPU fan on a T42 laptop following the instructions in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

But I cannot lift the fan from the GPU, I have applied a significant amount of force in the direction indicated by the HMM (pushing a lever between the fan and GPU).

I have removed the 3 screws from the fan assembly and removed the keyboard and wrist pad.

Has anyone does this that has any experience or thoughts that could help guide me?

Thanks,
David

This is a 30 second blurb for the 2008 Google 10^100 contest. It’s about a new kind of one-hand keyer + mouse that provides full desktop usability on highly mobile computers. See chordite.com for instructions on how to build one for yourself. If your mobile device(s) can’t do everything — the whole enchilada — as well as your office desktop computer then you cannot escape the desk, the office, the daily commute, etc. Weak data input technology is the main reason we generally don’t …

Manufacturing sector. Needs to run multiple SAP screens. Will probably be dropped at one point or another. Lightweight because our facility is large and I walk back and forth all day in 1/4 mile segments. Help please. Thank you so much!
Recommend laptop or Tablet PC? I don’t know if there will be a surface to set the computer on.
I wanted to have them purchased by this afternoon, but I think I ‘m going to have to make next Friday the deadline.

That is the link to the SAP page, it’s how we do everything for all our facilities worldwide.
I used a tablet that was 4 pounds for a week and, while it was ok, it got pretty hot and I found that the "keyboard" screen didn’t track the pen as well as I would have liked, but it was very rugged. A few of the technicians here wouldn’t even carry it around because they said it was too heavy (to which I replied, then you obviously don’t need it badly enough—but I did, so I carried it all week and it wasn’t too bad).

I love Flight Simulator and have been using it since it was available for the Commodore 64. I now have a notebook computer with a dual core processor and 2 GB RAM that should be able to run Flight Simulator X, at least in the less-demanding modes. I have a Microsoft force-feedback USB stick that really works great, but it is practically bigger than the notebook! I have been searching the Internet for an hour trying to find a small portable joystick that I can use with the notebook, or at least something smaller than the full-sized Microsoft force feedback stick. Any gamers out there who have any suggestions? I find it difficult to run the simulator with the keyboard only.

It did not look like a laptop or a desktop or a PDA. It was small, but large enough that it had a keyboard — almost looked like a toy computer, but it was being marketed to people who only needed email and didn’t care about doing anything else (Internet, Word, Excel, etc.)

I'm looking for a keyboard that I don't have to worry about if I or my kids happen to spill something over…coffee, juice etc ;-) Any suggestions where to get something like that?

I need to upgrade from my Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 and the CF-30 is ridiculously overpriced. Is there an alternate brand that is as good or better? I only use the laptop for writing, the Internet, and movies. Something completely sealed with a rubberized keyboard, touchscreen LCD, and customizable would be perfect.

Thanks,
j

…Korean. I've included the gobbledygook translation I got from an internet translator. Thank you!

12.1인치 제품들과 비교하여 키피치가 그다지 좁지 않으며 팜래스트도 비교적 넓기 때문에 타이핑을 하는 것에 불편함을 느끼지 않았다. (10인치 이하의 미니 노트북의 경우 휴대성에는 최적화 되어 있지만 키보드가 작아 타이핑을 하는 것이 무척 신경쓰였던 기억이 난다. 이 제품의 가장 큰 장점중 하나는 빠른 타이핑이 가능한 키패드가 아닐까 생각된다.)

상단에는 스피커가 부착되어 있으며 전원버튼 및 Windows Media Player 실행버튼이 부착된 것을 확인할 수 있다.

About low of 12.1 inch product and comparison the height pitch was not is not narrow to that extent and neither the [lay] [su] [thu] which it sells felt comparison to doing the tie ping because wide is inconvenient. (The case carrying frost of the mini notebook below 10 inches only is not becoming optimization the keyboard is born to be small the memory where the nerve it is used the tie ping highly that it does. This product low me in the biggest strong point the height pad where the quick tie ping is possible was thought will not be all.)
