WOW! that's one very expensive battery! I searched hard and, when I was unable to find anything under $100.00 (US Dollars) I decided to approach it from another angle and do some research on the laptop itself. Now I understand what's going on! Razer is NOT a very buyer friendly company. They...

If you could faintly see the images on the screen with a flashlight the backlight is not the problem. With a bad backlight you can't see anything. Very faint images means your inverter is bad and needs to be replaced. Replace your inverter and everything should be back to normal

You said it's stuck in the BIOS screen. I am assuming you mean the screen where it tells you what version the BIOS is. Can you access the BIOS setting screen? Have you tried to reset the COMS? Resetting the COMS varies from computer to computer, but with most laptops you need to remove your...

Need more information before any help can be offered. What's the make and model of your Laptop and how old is it? What OS are you running? How old is your battery? Can you access the BIOS settings window? Have you tried connecting a monitor to your laptop and see if the monitor works? You say...

I agree with das_stig, Linux Mint x86 32-bit version is the absolute best choice for what you've described. You will be very pleased with how fast the system loads and how well it runs. Makes a older computer run like it's brand new!

Darksky A3 is a Chinese laptop and is a new release. Because of this there's very little information as to how well it's constructed or how dependable it is. Considering the price and what you said you will be using it for it should meet your needs. Don't expect it to be super fast, especially...

Yeah, in safe mode Windows only loads the "must have" apps and programs to run. Sound is not considered a "must have" for operation. Problems like what you experienced are not unusual when using Windows OS

80 degrees is not that hot for a CPU. Actually, it's rather cool. You need to realize that Windows OS are extremely "resource" hungry. Windows has so much useless, unnecessary junk apps and programs running in the background that there's not much left for the necessary apps and programs to use...

If you want someone to help you really need to give a lot more detail. Right now the info you are providing makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

Insert the disc in the drive, shut the laptop off, then press the start button. As soon as the screen starts press and hold the F12 key on the top of your keypad.The laptop will either show a message on the bottom of the screen or start to beep repeatedly, release the F12 key. This will bring up...

The MS Surface Laptop has a 7th Generation Intel® Core i5 or i7 CPU and should run Linux with no problem. What flavor of Linux you choose to run is the real question. Of course personal preference is everything but If your open to suggestions I would recommend the latest version of Linux Mint...

Sorry to hear that. If you give me the model number, in/out volts, milliamps and any other information that's on the battery I'll see if I can help find one for you.

That's a tough one. It really comes down to personal preference. If your looking for a quality laptop that will provide many hours of good reliable service then I would suggest an HP or Dell. Both make a quality laptop, no cheap shoddy workmanship. If you willing to spend a little more then...

Start your laptop in "safe" mode and see how it runs. If it doesn't freeze then you have a software conflict. Keep me informed

When it come to computers and laptops you can get the most "bang" for the buck at ebay.com (cheapest price). Amazon is not a good site for computers (as far as the price is concerned), Neither is negegg.com. Both sites are way over priced for electronics. Ebay is the cheapest bar none. I sell...
