I think that my backlight is dead! What should I do?

Hey all. I have an Inspiron 9100, that starts up fine, but the screen is almost black. I can barely see anything on it and the brightness adjustment does nothing. This leads me to believe that anything that lights up the screen is out.

What would be the most cost-effective way to solve this? Thank you!

I hung it on an external moniter for now, but it beats laptop while the type of the computer object of the thing.

    Hello! My AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g) lights no more. I think he lost his power. What should I do to restore its power?

    If AirPort Express light does not illuminate, this indicates that the internal power supply inside the Express did not, and the device will need to be replaced.

    HELP, trying to install Illustrator but get this message that I need to download "Adobe Support Advisor" when I go on the site, I see that it has been abandoned, what should I do now? got trapped in the labyrinth HELP HELP!

    Hi Joseeyk67276640,

    'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server.  From the following link, please download the version of Illustrator, you need: other downloads

    Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.

    Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:

    Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\

    The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.

    You can use a utility to extract the 7z or gz to unzip.

    Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)

    Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.

    Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors. Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html

  • For the last few weeks, after that I closed 19.0 FF, I can't open it. I resorted to having to re - install FF each time so that it can open. What should do?

    For the last few weeks, whenever I close Firefox 18 (and more recently 19.0), I can't reopen the browser again. The application runs as if it is going to open, then stops and sits there. I had to resort to the re - install the browser every time now, very irritating. He remembers my tabs as they had been, that I want to. I used to open up to 40-50 tabs, but now made an effort to keep them below 20, thinking that it would help work more optimally. I'm tired of re - install the browser all the time. What should I do? Thank you

    When this happens, check the Windows Task Manager to see if there is a hidden window or the firefox.exe process is at a standstill?

    To open the Windows Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc

    On the Applications tab, look for any window with the icon of Firefox. See something wrong here? In another thread, users have reported finding what seems to be a rogue process. If you find something, try to select and killing using end task.

    Under the processes tab, look for firefox.exe. According to the displayed columns, you can often see that the program is reading, writing, communicate or simply sitting there, doing nothing. If you have allowed time to stop Firefox and it crashes, you can select firefox.exe and click on end process.

    After that, Firefox expected to start normally.

    Please see this article for troubleshooting suggestions for when Firefox crashes out. https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-hangs-or-not-responding#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it

    IMO, if you have Windows XP or a newer version of Windows, not worth obsessed during defragmentation.

    That said, I offer the following comments:

    • Files that start \System Volume Information\_restore {... are your system restore points.  If things are running OK and you do not anticipate the need to restore to an earlier time, disable System Restore (which will delete all system restore points) and then turn it back on again.  Or just run Disk Cleanup and use remove all but the last restore point.
    • The \WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\G7HWHKBP\iTunes[1].msi file looks like a file cache of remains of Internet Explorer 5.  In any case, it is a setup of iTunes and you can safely remove.  In general, you can safely remove all in C:\Windows\Temp
    • I guess you kept all of these files in e-mail Netscape 7 for some reason, but if they had just neglected when you moved from Netscape 7 for any email application you use today, you can remove these establishments.
    • The normal Windows Defragmenter cannot defragment various system files, including the page file and the MFT, which are quite highly fragmented in your system.  I think that for this reason there is not enough contiguous space on your hard disk to defragment most of the other files in the list even if you have more than 9 GB of free space.

    To defragment the paging file, you can disable (or very small), restart and then set it to "system managed size".  To do this

    • Make a right click my computer and select Properties
    • Click on the "Settings" button in the box 'Performance '.
    • Click on the "Advanced" tab and the button 'Edit' under 'virtual memory '.
    • Click on "No paging file" and the "Set" key
    • OK your way out and restart
    • Defragmentation and then go back and put the pagefile "system managed size".

    A better approach, however, would be to use (free) PageDefrag, which defragments non only the pagefile, but both the Windows registry files.

    Microsoft has apparently made a utility that will defragment the MFT (on the restart), but you must call customer service to get it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.Aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320397 I used not this utility and cannot give you any information about it beyond what is in the Article.

    Some commercial defragmenters defragment the MFT (on the restart).  If they have trial versions, trial versions may include this feature, but I don't know.
