Friend Gave Me A Lovely Laptop

How can I convince my parents to buy me a laptop?

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU POST ANSWERS!!!

Alright... Alright... I've read a few other "how can I convince my parents to buy me a laptop" questions, but my situation is very different.

First of all, I'm not spoiled like most people asking this question. Most people who are asking this question can actually get to this web page without the browser crashing and in fact have a perfectly fine computer capable of being upgraded.

Let me give you some specs on the system I'm running...

Hewlett Packard Compaq Presario S3040SE (DF222A#ABA) PC Desktop

-MS Windows XP SP2
-Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40GHz
-247 MB RAM
-Intel Graphics Card (64mb... Not impressive)

Ignore the review, it's outdated.

Okay, now that that's out of the way, on to the reasons. I'll add them next.

Good excuses not to let a friend come over?

yikes mate, well luckily I have a few options for ya:
- say you're not feeling well
- say you already have company coming over
- say the house is a mess
- say you are going out to the gym or to the city
- say you have a lot of work to do
- say they are making you work extended hours
- if you're in school say that you have too much homework
or just be honest - say that you guys just hung out and you need some space
However, keep in mind that it is a bit odd that he is this clingy
Good luck mate

Christian friend: are you a Sabbath keeper? How do you welcome your Sabbath?

WHEN I GET MY LAPTOP BACK I AM GONNA PLAY YOUR SONG.

its nice that there are some sabbath keepers, but also so sad that so many sunday worshipers do not undersatnd the importance.

they must be offended.

i like to start early a poss. on a friday, i am more still, thuinking through my day with God, saying thankyou and asking for help and guidance, i like to play music too. read the bible a little.
Also sing hymns, i love the old SDA hymns.

i truly love the sabbath and am so grateful for that time we have to worship, it always meant family time in our house, and it was always peaceful, the weekdays could be so varied.
We would play Mahalia Jackson records, it was always soup day, and worship time was lovely, always. a very peaceful quiet night, made more peaceful cause on friday part of sabbath w never turned on the TV.
We occassionaly had saturday sabbath afternoon christian videos, which were excellent. Oh and saturday afternoon esspecially in autumn was te bet time after lunch to wonder in the parks as a family in London and Crawley where we lived.... nature is beautiful.

Is my boyfriend a virgin?! or a gentleman? he's 24.....?

Hey guys,
I've met a wonderful guy at uni, he lives in the same student accommodation as me. He made his move on me after telling my friend I was hot, then him and his friend followed us back to my flat. Anywayz, he seemed lovely but when I invited him up to my room for that evening on many occasions, he said he'd come up but never would, only once did he, and we just chilled. Anyway after just giving up on him, a few weeks later, I got a text from him saying "I do want us to get back & talk, am serious cuz i want to get with you". I thought GREAT!, anyhow, He comes round quite alot now and I'm starting to really really like him. He does things for me without me asking, like helping me put my curtains up even lifting up the keys on my laptop and cleaning underneath them so they're not sticky anymore!.....such a gentleman! he would cuddle me all the time but never try to kiss me, by this time I knew him for 3 months and we just kissed the other night from me having to initiate it!, this guy is gorgeous - alot of girls i know fancy him, but i can't help but think he 'may' be inexperienced?! or a virgin?! what do you guys think?

By the way, he spent the night with me, and he didn't try it on at all!!! just held me tightly in his arms!
By the way guys! i wanna take it slow and don't wanna have sex yet because i think he could be 'the one', we both want to move to the US next yr!, i've just never met a man like him before......he's 24 and so am I, it just seems uncommon for an extremely good-looking guy to possibly be a virgin.........

By the way, there was one occasion where i tried to kiss him! before then, he asked me the time and i told him, and then i tried kissing him and he immediately asked the time again lol, do you think that's nerves?.....anyway, the kiss was slighty awkward & later i'd apologised for my 'lame attempt' to kiss him, he said "to be honest, i loved it, wish it had of been longer"...........i thought to myself, that he coulda MADE it longer!!!
And before u guys assume he could be gay, there is noooo way he gives off any impression that he's gay in the 'slightest', i know he loves my body and the way he looks into my eyes, i see a sparkle!

Good laptop for World Of Warcraft?

This is going to sound utterly retarded, but trust me.


Get an ASUS R503U-RH21, 15.6 inch laptop. Here's a link:

You can get these at Microcenter or on Amazon, usually under $300. It comes with Windows 8, which doesn't really work for WoW, but pay someone to put Windows 7 on it. Don't try to do this yourself because the hardware is designed to reject Windows 7. Get a tech savvy friend to do it. Seriously. Once you have it installed, WoW will run on high at about 40 FPS.

How do I disassemble my 'HP Pavilion DV4000' laptop in order to resolder the power jack?!?

I was trying to look up your system for you to find the service manual. Unfortunately you did not provide enough information on your model number as you will see as you go this this HP website: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_...

If you provide more information I might be able to help you further.

When you have the proper model number you might search Youtube for a video.

Hope this helps.

PS... I hope your uncle has electronics soldering experience, if not, kiss your motherboard goodbye.

Per your email to me: (I responded to your email but it came back undeliverable)
Ok... if that is the correct laptop, you will start at page 5-3, ignore 5-38 to 5-49, and continue. It doesn't show the motherboard actually being removed, but that is exactly what needs to happen. You best keep good tract of the screws, 'cause the hardest part is putting it all back together in the proper sequence and not have any screws left over.
Now you can understand why you would pay no less than $100 for the job.
The part is about $5.00 After taking it apart, replacing the dc jack, putting it back together, and now it doesn't work... you'll wish you had paid someone to do it for you.

Good luck... if you decide on not doing it yourself, let me know. Provide the City & State you live in (if you don't live in the US find someone local), and I'll provide you with a quote from my local tech here in southern California.
