Yeaaaa....Got it da one Tosiba at 3 now which is better than the 2 it had.

Hmm I wonder if I added another 2GB to my Toshiba a505 if it would make that big of a difference. On my meter it says my laptop is only using like 2.6 GB of the 4 GB is had anyways so I am assuming it would be useless. N if I did this I will have to buy a 4 GB stick of ram because the a505 only has 2 slots.

So the iPad comes out in about 10 days, and I was curious who here is going to be getting one?

For anyone who doesn't know what a iPad is check here http://www.apple.com/ipad/

I will prolly grab one as well, but will wait til the 2nd gen...UNLESS a first gen comes into my second hand store for cheap! I would love to have one of these puppies jailbreakin' ..

welcome to our humble forum dwt1966...

is everyone signing up in the frapper??

I think something is wrong with the Frappr server. it doesn't wanna load the link for me.

I'm helping a friend out trying to get his laptop to connect with the internet. I am trying to install the correct drivers for it, but when I install them I get an error "invalid access to memory location."

What does this mean?

What's the specific brand and model of the computer?

Try putting pressure on the pixel with your finger (massage) and maybe it will let the pixel pop back!

Imma give it another try. I tried it but donno if I used enough pressure. I will try one more time and if it don't work I guess I am gonna leave it go. Thanks for the help tho!

let us know if it will work man, glad you probably found a replacement.

if not post back and let us know and i'll do some looking around also. i bought a B key for a compaq laptop and might be able to snag a deal for a netbook key if they have one.

Got the key! Now to find a replacement video...I can't figure out how to get this darn they apart...Like the whole key with both plastic arms.

My desktop monitor used to do this. The thing I found that worked. Is I tapped on it with my finger tip with the monitor on and it fixed the issue. Few light raps with the finger and its all better. Not saying you should do this, Just saying thats How I fixed mine. There are a few other things they say to try, that may help or make it worse. Google can help you out there.

Hmm this is weird...Are some dead pixels diff? I just used DPT Dead Pixel Tester and clicked info and it said yellow dot on white screen or black dot on blue screen it is DEAD. mine does neither...I tried tapping and everything.

Dead pixels usually happen at the manufacture. It's just something that happens, but is pretty rare now. It use to happen a lot. Heat is one thing that will cause it. Those pixel things that just put a bunch of noise on the screen will never fix a dead pixel, and will hardly ever fix a stuck pixel.

It's most likely nothing your doing, unless there is some kind of heat source around the display. You just have to check right away. The first thing I do when ever I get any kind of new computer is go over the screen, look for dead pixels, and do color correction, if its not up to my standard it goes back to the store. But it has to be done right away, with in about an hour.

Blah! Alright, I guess I am stuck with a burnt pixel then...Geesh, ANY electronics I buy seem to have SOMETHING go wrong and I seem to just not have the luck...Oh well I guess, ugh...

N I did check it when I bought it...There was nothing, but oh well again...Shit like this makes me want to just stop buying electronics

What causes these friggin' things?! It seems like ANY laptop I buy I can not get a break. My last Compaq (burnt pixels), my last Toshiba (burnt pixel), Yawwnnnzzz yepp my new Toshiba a505 burnt pixel in the top left. All I see is a tiny small dot. I tried JScreen or whatever it is pixel remover and nothing. Is this just my luck or am I doing something to cause these or what? I can't take it back because I am passed my 30 days, but ugh what the is going on?

Wyantm you had we worried for a while with the topic header " Pink"

I have overcome simiular problems by asking at computer repair shops , ( they usualy have a stack of faulty laptop/netbook keyboards ) maybe it is generic to all aspire netbooks ? , not sure on that though ,

I think the key is white with black print ? , use a black key sprayed white with black letraset ect ?,

if you can get a correct apspire key but not page up , try changing the print,

sorry I can't help more , little point serching from the UK ,

BTW if it works out but looks a little odd , tell her you personal modified it especially for her

is this the keyboard ( http://www.laptopsparesshop.co.uk/acer-aspire-110-uk-keyboard-new-white-kbint00670-free-uk-shipping-758-p.asp about $25 usd , I doubt if you will be able to buy just the one missing key retail , hence my sugestion of checking out repair shops

I THINK I found one on eBay. The company sells ANY key you need for the Acer Aspire Netbook but I have to wait until I get home to make sure it is correct laptop key. $3.99 with free shipping is OKAY but worth it to me just for her. Thanks for the help! N naa no pink laptop for me haha.

Still having the issue if anyone finds anything out. I hope this doesn't continue or I wish I could at least figure the issue. It is bothering me and I bet I am going to have to end up sending it into Toshiba. Btw I didn't have any issues today, I donno I wish I had a stat recorder or something to figure out what it is doing when it lags up...

Did anyone figure anything out about my issue? I haven't yet so I assume no one else did lol...but I will appreciate it a lot when someone does find anything out please let me know.

I got my girl a Pink acer aspire netbook for a good price but the battery was bad and the Pg Up Home key is broke. I found the battery replacement for pretty cheap on eBay but I did a Google for the missing key and found a few sites. But none direct me to the actual key. If someone could PLZ PLZ help me find the white Pg Up replacement key I would appreciate it. I want this laptop looking nice for my girl.

Yeaaaa....Got it da one Tosiba at 3 now which is better than the 2 it had.

Well this is wierd but I just tried again, start menu "AI Roboform" click, then click "edit passcards" it opens but asks for the master password before allowing any other operation. I really don't know why it is now working correctly. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and Roboform Pro.

Anyway check for an update and try again. It really is a great program.

You're right my friend...I was so dumb! I ran ccleaner a few times then restarted n it asked for master password...Blah this program rocks now!! Btw best program EVER if you have a bazillion passwords...Dead up it is a life saver...

I have two toshiba laptops (not my a505), I am trying to take ram from the one and supe the other up. The one is PC2-4200s-444-12 and PC2-6400s-666-12...I am almost positive it won't work but would like to know. If it DON'T work can someone link me or explain how to tell if one ram will work in the other?? Thanks a lot...I am sorry people I know I am a pain in the ass on these forums!

i also forgot to add, by looking at the two the pins match....But I don't wanna be blowing anything up.

My stats seem to be running normal when it does it. My buddy who got the identical laptop has his next to mine everyday, and it seems like mine does it when the fan kicks in high gear or something...Or does it more when it is runner hotter. His does it, but not as often. Ugh...

HeyWyntam06 whats happinin man

I'm thining watch your system stats while this mouse issue is happening, se is something is maxed, like the memory, cpu what have you. Something might be consuming too much of whats there. Watch the network traffic as well.

Could you post your findings ?

every once in a blue moon i have to restart my computer because when i turn it on its either no sound or my wireless net wont pick up. a restart fixes it for me, but like i said its so rare i havent tried to figure out why it happens. is this the first time its happened for you?

Yes, first time. BUT I tried restarting and nothing. I had to dig deep on Google lol. I could not get sound until I pulled the battery and restarted that way. Anyways, i am having this mouse lock up more now today since I been home since 6 it froze on me 3 times. now by freezing I mean a quick 1-3 second pause...The mouse just stops for a second or 2 and boom it's back, but it is very noticeable and annoying! I donno if this is a simple fix or should I just be pissed and lose everything I installed so far and get a new one before my 30 days is up.

I use it as well and I guess the object is to secure your system with a password so only you have access to it. I also have the mobile version which then you don't have to have it on your hard drive. One more option is the online version which allows you to access your information from any computer anywhere. It seems to be very secure in that your first have to logon with a userid and password, then you have to enter your master password to actually use or view the information.

Porkfat rules

Okay and that very well is not the case for me. I HAVE to enter in my Master Password before my first attempt online...But to view my passwords in start menu anyone can. is this like it for you to? HEY MOMMA!!

I just recently tried this program and loved it. But I see a flaw, and it seems anyone who accesses your computer can view any password you have saved. So I uninstalled this due to being nervous about it. Anyways, to view your passwords without even entering your master password do this. Just go to AI RoboForm in the start menu and click edit passcards, and viola! You can click any site you saved. If I am missing something to lock this I would appreciate you help! I would like to re install because it was useful. Thanks!

This is screwed...my sound went out in my a505 today...Shows its playing n everything, just nothing peeps on the volume up or anything.

Okay, I fixed the sound issue...I had to pull the battery...very interesting...

This is screwed...my sound went out in my a505 today...Shows its playing n everything, just nothing peeps on the volume up or anything.

it just hit me that i also have that same mouse. and it hasnt happened with me while using this mouse yet. (the mouse issue) so perhaps your problem would be solved as well! if not post back and i'll help ya figure it out!

Yeah, I just got this mouse via FedEx this morning. I been using it all day at work, and love it! So far no lock ups.

hey man, i had that problem with a505 when i first got it, but honestly it seemed like it only happened when i had the touch pad on. but after a while it just stopped happening. not sure what it was, but i'll do some research and testing to see if i can figure out what fixed it.

also you had a question a while back about my battery. mine is just a 6 cell, so it fits nicely in the back without sticking out like the 9 cell does.

i know that every once in a while my sound will act weird. it'll like glitch then catch up with its self then run fine again for who knows how long. its weird, i still havent figured that out either.

but i'll let you know what i find out about the mouse.

Mine does the same thing with the sound every once and a blue moon bro. I guess just some minor glitches! Ordered me a Microsoft Mobile 6000 mouse anyway for $29.99, so I will be using that more often.

Nice. Alright appreciate the info! My a505 gets about 3 hours 45 minutes on high performance and 4 hours 30 minutes on balanced. Wow since knowing you have the same laptop, do you have the extended battery? What I mean is the one which makes it sit up more in the back. Also it is a bigger cell battery I believe. But reason I ask is because my battery has major play in it. Just curious to see because my friend also bought the same one as me and his is really loose as well. Again thanks for the info tho.

Okay this question is for the dude who has the a505. Or anyone that may know the issue. Okay ever since I owned this laptop I have been having this small issue. When ever I get to doing a bunch of things, sometimes my mouse will freeze up for a very few seconds and then everything will be good again. Any clue why this would do this? I donno if it is something I should be worried about n take the laptop back or what. I'd rather not take the laptop back because I just broke this bad boy in and am in love with it.
