I reformatted the laptop after installing a new hard drive in my Sony Vaio and now it isn't letting me use the brightness function keys anymore. The function volume keys still work, it's just the brightness ones that aren't going very well. Is there a software requirement or something I'm missing? -
I'm in the market for a good WIFI router/switch/repeater. Looking for something with at least 5 1Gig ports and the ability to repeat/extend the signal to another Access Point which is up stairs so i don't need to run wired Ethernet to the other side of the house. Looking online, This Western Digital N900 looks nice however it doesn't appear to have the repeater functionality. Anyone buy anything recently which is working out well? Or got a tip on something out there? Thnx

I recently reformatted Windows but now my DVD drive isn't popping up in my control panel. In Device Manager it just has a yellow icon on it. When I put in a DVD with a movie or an installation disc nothing happens, it doesn't even spin up. The drive was working fine before I reformatted it. It is detected in the BIOS and during startup POST. The drive is a Samsung BA59-02702A TS-U633F -
Ordered a new CPU for an older PC and there's all kinds of gunk on it. Figured out this was thermal paste, but how do you remove it safely?

I have an older, but not too old Western Digital 1TB External drive: USB 3.0 It stopped working following a Windows Update. I'm running Windows 8. The drive still works on my Mac and it still works on my laptop so I'm not sure what's going wrong with the Windows 8 desktop.

My PC is having problems with drivers ever since reformatting Windows. I need to figure out which drivers go to it but I don't know the ID numbers that match up so I don't know which driver to install and Windows is being dumb and not pulling them automatically. Is there anyway to find the device info without opening up the box and trying to look at the physical components?

I bought a Kindle Fire a few months ago while visiting my daughter in the California. I live in South Africa. There appears to be no Amazon Kindle support here.The Fire worked OK until a week ago. Now, if I try to execute any app, it pops up on the screen but immediately reverts to the Home page and the Home ikon can been seen flashing in the bottom right hand corner. Any ideas on what the problem could be and what can I do about it? -
Is it possible to connect two computers to one external USB hard drive? If so, how? And, would there be a need for a special adapter?
