    XPS A2420 (Dell All-in-one) - Motherboard seems un-removable

    I am trying to replace a bad motherboard in this All-in-one unit. I have drilled down to the motherboard but cannot remove it. I don't see any other screws or latches, but something is holding this board in place. I can barely budge it. Does anybody know what the special "trick" is for...

    1tb ssd $250

    Honestly, for the most sought after models (read: samsung evo), i think that is a bit too optimistic. But for the drives that do not have the marketing campaign behind them that Samsung definitely has, i'm thinking 512GB may fall to $125ish. The Evo is in so much demand that i do not expect to...

    Actual dimensions of 27 inch 1080 monitor?

    Is 21.6 the actual panel height (disregarding the stand, in other words)? That seems rather large. That makes the panel height almost 2 feet. BenQ web site states display size in mm as: 598 x 336 25.4 mm = 1 inch 336/25.4 = 13.2 inches height for display (seems accurate) 13.2 inches +...

    Actual dimensions of 27 inch 1080 monitor?

    I am trying to figure out if the 27 inch BenQ XL2720Z will fit on my corner desk where i have a hutch on the right and left sides (that I know will be obscured to some extent). Could somebody tell how many inches in H x W the panel needs? Thanks, Wedge1

    Gamestop PC Spring Sale

    I bought Far Cry 3 based on outstanding reviews, but after trying it out, I will not start it up again. There is a keyboard mapping problem, i.e., keyboard mapping doesn't work for all keys that get changed. It is hit or miss. Bummer because it seems great otherwise.

    Need Gateway M320 sound driver - having no luck

    Yes, I have been to Gateway's site. They do not offer a sound driver. They also offer a Wi-Fi driver that does not recognize my controller, so i'm searching for that too.

    Need Gateway M320 sound driver - having no luck

    I have googled quite a bit, but I think that because this notebook is so old, I can only obtain the driver by installing some "driver detective" type of software, that costs money to find the driver and allow me to download. Can anybody provide a resource that may get me closer to the sound...
