    Troubleshooting No Display Problems

    Sorry for being slightly ignorant POST errors more or less are the string of beeps it throws out? This board doesn't have a display for errors like my old one.

    Hey guys, a while back I ended up getting a Toshiba laptop from OfficeMax which was a Satellite L35-S2366 model - PSL33U-03W02K. It originally came with Vista on it which I wasn't a huge fan of. I ended up installing a copy of XP I had from my old desktop I bought but I can't seem to...

    Priceline: Name Your Own Ticket Price

    Do they pretty much shaft you on times and give you huge lay overs or how and the heck can they do that? I took a look and its kind of enticing but I'm curious if its even worth the trouble over normal "online booking agents" - Kevin

    "Out of Country" Tuition?

    Haha, I don't have anything horribly specific in mind, for the most part nothing in the Americas, shooting for Europe or possible the Carribean.

    Washing Machine just broke **LOL**

    If its only 3 months old I would assume your warranty would cover it. I've rarely seen a warranty less than 90 days, I wouldn't say if they do that Whirlpool has much confidence in their product
