Open Question: Why won't my battery charger work?
You always have to unplug it from the outlet, EVERY NIGHT or every time you shut down the computer. Never leave your computer on all the time or just put it to sleep/hibernate when your not using it. You should always SHUT IT DOWN THE PROPER WAY after every time you use it & you have to leave your room.
I used to work for a big name computer company & usually received a lot of call regarding battery issues.
A brand new computer's battery comes w/ a Standard 1yr Limited Warranty w/c means the expected life time of battery is only 1 year. Same thing goes for the charger.
So, if you don't know how to take care of it, it will die out on you sooner than than expected.
FYI: I always tell my customers, a laptop's battery is similar to a cell phone's. You charge it when it's depleted & you unplug the adapter when it is already fully charge (this will prevent the battery from getting overcharged & extend the life of the battery). So for less hassle, I always advice my customers to just remove the battery if they plan to use the computer for long hours straight (more than 1 hour) and just run it on AC power alone so as not to overcharge it & shorten the battery life.
ONLY USE THE BATTERY FOR PORTABILITY, if you're on a trip, at McDonalds or Starbucks.
If your not after its portability, you can use it just plugged into the wall socket all the time.
For chargers, make sure you don't stretch out the cable too much that the one by the power jack that you plug into the side of the computer gets bent. Make sure this part is always straight or else the copper wires inside will break & soon you'll have the problem of the charger not working anymore like what happened to some of my callers.
Luckily, if your computer is still in warranty, Dell will replace it with a brand new one for free (within 1 year of purchase). If it is still in warranty, call DELL Experts hotline number (1-800-305-6561) for further assistance from the Phone Tech Support Team. Make sure to write down the name of the person who will get your call. Tell them the charger stopped working & you want it replaced.
FYI, which ever country your call will be routed to, please be patient & polite to the person who will take your call. After all, you are the one calling them for assistance with whatever issue you are having with your portable computer. Make sure to speak your name clearly (spell it, if need be) & provide all the info needed & asked for. They are trained professionals for handling simple matters, so I believe they should be able to assist you w/ any issue as long as IT IS WITHIN THEIR SCOPE OF SUPPORT. It depends on the company but be cooperative because these phone technicians have a specific handle time to be able to resolve the issue of a caller, so please do not be a jerk. Listen carefully to their instructions & follow it, because IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW MORE, then WHY CALL FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
If your computer's 1-yr Standard Limited Warranty has ALREADY EXPIRED, then ask them politely & talk to them in a friendly manner, for they are there to listen and PROVIDE YOU BASIC INFORMATION as much as they can. Ask them for the model number of the charger,
then see if they sell it here: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.…
Best time to call, after midnight Pacific Time.

Open Question: do i have to reinstall windows with a new pc?
In some cases the Windows install will reference data from the BIOS chip (a certificate or similar) to validate the Windows install. This is usually on OEM installs however. If u have one of these installs, then the Windows OS will not validate on another machine. (U would have to buy another validation key).
If u bought your Windows OS yourself, this will not be an issue however. Just reinstall on your new computer and use the same key.

That's one way. Two fingers on the trackpad + click = right-click and you can save them. Videos and music can be download with iTunes, a variety of Youtube grabbers, etc. You get Word by buying it, of course, just like anything else.

Open Question: My Presario f700 no longer turns on?
If you need a new charger you can look online on sites like ebay or amazon but I would personally suggest you visit Topmic instead. Topmic is well known for their great services and their durable products. They include free shipping and free lifetime warranty. Yes, lifetime. This means if the charger ever stops working on its own for whatever reason, they would replace it as many times as needed at no additional cost, for life.
This is a great way to save money in the long run and a good investment as well.
Here's their link:

Best of luck.
Open Question: Having trouble uploading pictures?
Meg Member since:April 03, 2008Total points:18 (Level 1)I have a Sony Cyber-shot 10.1 Mega Pixels camera, and for some reason it won't upload a couple of my recent pictures. I had the USB cord connected to my camera and my computer, but instead of the usual box that pops up that allows me to import my photos, it doesn't- nothing comes up for a way to upload my pictures. Instead, my camera says, "USB Mode Connecting... Switch on [MENU]"-- OK, well I do that and get a USB Connect screen and then click on "AUTO", but it takes me back to the " USB Mode Connecting... Switch on [MENU]" screen again, and continues to do so every time I press menu. Help please?? Thanks!!Answer QuestionBe the first to answer this question.

Open Question: Organizing folders on a USB Drive?
Back to the question:
1st Reason: Say you are organizing music into genre's. You can first make a music folder or use the preset folder that windows come's with, if you have windows. In that music folder, you can make genres for all the types of music that you have, most likely the computer will sort the genres out for you in the windows media player if you import all of your songs. That is one scenario that sub folders are good for organizing information.
2nd Reason: Say you were a college student and you were organizing all of your classes. You would make folders for all of the classes you are taking for that period of time. In those classes, you would most likely to sort things out by homework, essays, reports, projects, etc.
3rd Reason: You would be arranging a wedding and all of the sub folders would have the name of the people that are coming, and sub folders explaining if they are be able to attend, and etc.
