Are your computers warranties really void when you open up its side panel?

This is a question that makes me ask if its legal for a company such as Acer or Gateway
or eMachines to do this. You break the seal and add memory. 1 month later the mobo goes bad.
Boom, you have a 200 to 300 dollar paperweight on your desktop.
Anyone elses thoughts on this?

As a firedog I replaced a video card for a customer that owned a dell. They ordered it from dell and then they paid for me to install it.
The interesting thing was that it was a laptop I felt really special replacing a video card in a laptop, I mean, how many computers on the market actually have replaceable GPUs?
That being said, I think that dell has some major quality control issues, but so do most. I prefer Asus out of all the pre-fabs that BBY carries, and IBM above all others.

    In the options before you click on add finger you will be able to choose your  name
    And if you don't want it so you will click on i don't want it
    and it won't say your name

  • In FF (30.0) Password Manager, when you open Edit, what are all the fields and how do you fill them in?

    When you open Edit, there are two choices: Web form and annotated.
    What is the difference?
    Then, there are fields for Host, Submit Prefix, Username, Password, etc.
    How do you fill in these fields?
    When you click to have the manager "Guess from Current Page," all fields don't necessarily get filled in, so is it just for username and password?
    I use the edit feature constantly, so it's a little odd not to see more detailed instructions here.
    When I click on Tools, the Saved Password Dialog is on the list, so it's on my toolbar all the time.
    I use it constantly.
    What is the latest in password security? I know there are competing ideas. What does Mozilla think?
    Thank you.

    Hmm, could this be a feature of your extension, "Saved Password Editor"? The support article ([[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]) doesn't show those changes when I switch the version from 29 to 30 in the left column.

  • How to stop firefox from going to a URL your most is hovering over when you type in a URL and press enter.

    When you open a new tab and begin to type a url to visit, if your mouse is hovering over any of the suggested results when you press enter, instead of firefox going to the url you have typed, it goes to the url that the mouse was hovering over.
    Is there a way to disable this functionality as it is annoying when you are say, trying to access youtube or google, but then you goto a completely different page from your history because your mouse was hovering over a suggested result.

    @philipp:
    I restarted in safe mode with all add-ons disabled and the problem still persists. Apparently a friend also seems to have this problem.
    How to reproduce (to the best of my knowledge)
    1) click on url bar
    2) start typing part of a url which generates many results from history
    3) mouse over one of the results (usually the first as thats where the mouse is after clicking on the url bar)
    4) press enter with autofilled url in url bar
    What happens is say that i start typing "goo" for google.com, firefox will auto complete with http://google.com, but since my mouse is hovering over a historic google search result it opens what ever my mouse is hovering over even though the url bar says "http://google.com"

  • When you open multiple documents, what's the rhyme and reason for the order the tabs are arranged?

    Hi, a student had a question and I honestly never thought about this: when you open multiple documents in Photoshop CS4, what's the rhyme and reason behind the order they're arranged in (left to right?). Sometimes they're in one order and sometimes they're in another, and it doesn't always correspond with the filenames or the order in which they were selected.
    Thanks, hope someone can enlighten us. It's probably really obvious, but... !

    My student says that's not exactly what she was asking. What she meant was, is the arrangement of multiple tabbed documents open within Photoshop (which one is furthest left, which one comes next to it, which one is furthest right etc) dependent on something? In what order they were opened, alphabetical, date created or what?

  • How do you stop random screenshots from appearing when you open an app

    These screenshots really bug me, especially when it comes to safari.  I use safari daily and sometimes I stumble upon rather frightning images.  Because.the screenshot that appears when you open an app is always a random snapshot of when you used the app in the past (I sometimes see screenshots that are over a year old), my biggest fear is that a scary picture I looked at in the past may appear when I open safari in the future.  Jumpscare.
    aside from that, this could also be a security violation, as a picture of your login information foryour bank may aappear at any time.  This is especially dangerous if your iPhone is in the hands of another person.

    When you open an app or when you close an app using the App Switcher (double-tap the Home button)?
    If you are talking about the App Switcher, there's no way to disable the displayed screenshot. If you don't want to see the "scary image", browse to another website. I have Google set as one of my favorites...when I shut down Safari, I just hit the Google favorite so the next time I open Safari, it opens to Google. I've never heard of nor experienced random screenshots popping up when opening Safari.

  • Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

    iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

    Hi Cyclosaurus,
    Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
    In relation to your points:
    1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
    2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
    Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
    Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
    Thank you again for your help
