Motherboard may have possibly burnt out

I have an HP Compaq Presario CQ50, my laptop has always had issues with screws falling out and such. last Saturday one fell inside, while I was getting ready to get it out I accidently turned on my laptop. It immediately started smoking and I held the button to turn it off, I had my laptop on for about a minute.
I then disassembled it to get the screw out and check for damage and clean out my fan...after all of that which took me all day I went to turn it on after reassembly and it wouldnt turn on...
I saw that the charger light comes on so it's charging, but it doesnt start at all no flashing lights or fans. I initially thought that I must have not assembled everything good enough specifically the power button ribbon. After disassmebling and reassembling 6 times nothing has changed. So Im guessing my motherboard is dead?
My laptop is about 4/5 years old, and while I was disassembly i noticed some of the wires were worn out and starting to become freyed so I would need a knew one soon, but Im in high school with no job and $200 dollars to my name so I was hoping to save this one until some buys me a knew laptop or I manage to scavenge enough money to buy myself one

Okay, screws don't just fall out in the passive voice. Someone has to unscrew them. And when a laptop smokes, it is fried. And I am also wondering how the wires inside got frayed all by themselves. At this point the only advice I can give is that you likely at least need a new motherboard.

May have figured it out but, "don't quote me".

Hello : Disgruntled ipoder's, after being on all morning and evening, I have figured it out. Listen to this. I only have had my ipod 7 months. After watching the products be introduce to the public, decided to download new itunes. I think there is a flaw in it. My problem was, system error, needed to re install itunes. Okay, so I had on my computer the last few updates before today.
So, I removed the programs of the itunes and updater Completely from computer. Yeah, you might think your music is gone but wait. After doing that I reinstalled using my disk from the initial setup. Then, I did not download from the site new itunes. Guess what, My computer recognizes my Ipod now. It is possible your computer still has your music on the drive. I have no errors, no problems. Now my ipod kept saying do not disconnect and I could not hit the menu and even go through the ipod because of error. But, everybody knows you usually can whether it is charging or not.
Now i just stuck a cd in and imported the music fine and everything. I tell yall what if apple thinks they are gonna get some more money out of me they only have proceeded in #&*#/ me off. To get rid of the mini is just crazy some of us just got it and it hasn't been a yr. Of course new products , they want more profits. I understand but, for many who is really go buy another one? Unless your well off, it may take you a minute to accumulate money. I do wish I had color but, I don't know if I'm willing to rake out another $250 when I was planning next yr to get that laptop I wanted. It was gonna be a powerbook or ibook. I think I will take my time and search elsewhere. So, to sum it all up. I won't be attempting to download anything because apparently there's a problem.

I hear you, i've only had my ipod mini for about two weeks and i already run into a major problem, because the screen of the ipod is blank, even when i conect it to the pc. I've tried all the suggestions that come in the manuals and nothing has worked.
If i knew they were going to replace the Ipod Mini i wouldn't have bought it and would have waited for the new one.

I Think I May Have Figured It Out!

Hello Everyone!
First off I would like to say thank you - so much. I just got my ipod back from repair - my FOURTH ipod back from repair, do to the glich with the new iTunes update. Unfortunatly... vista, and linux wouldn't detect my iPod.
So i called customer service.
After a 45 minute wait, I talked to a gentleman about resetting my ipod... but my ipod and itunes couldn't stay connected long enough to reset it.
so we ran it in disc mode
and it works just FINE! all 10,000 some files are transferring beautifully.
I hope this helps.

Hello shawnz28,
Thank you for taking the time to sign up for the forum and post about your recent trip to our Elyria, OH store. While the trade-in offers that we have are a great benefit for our customers, an experience like the one you had can definitely put a damper on things. You should not have had to spend 45 minutes in the store trying to explain to us how to process the trade-in. This is not the first trade-in offer we have had this year, so we should all be pretty familiar with the offer details and how it works.
I am glad you were eventually able to trade-in your tablet for the $50 Best Buy gift card, but I am still very sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced. To ensure our Elyria store has the correct offer details, I am going to reach out to their managers. The current Trade-in offer is valid for another few days, so we want to ensure that another customer does not encounter similar problems while trying to trade-in their tablet.
I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy the gift card!

When I launch Firefox 4.0.1 I get an error message that says "We noticed your may have signed inor signed out in another window. Click Ok to reload your page." I have to sign in with my username and password. Richard

When I launch Firefox 4.0.1 I get an error message that says "We noticed your may have signed inor signed out in another window. Click Ok to reload your page." I deleted Firefox and reloaded it - did not solve the problem. This started occurring after I downloaded Windows Service Pack 2. I have Vista 7 OS. So every time I close and relaunch Firefox, I have to sign in with my username and password. Very very, annoying. If I can't get this corrected, I have to start using another Browser. Thanks for your help. Richard

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were

I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were created in and get them to be useable in InDesign 6, but I'd need an email address that was registered to our software to give the help desk person. After finding the correct email address, different adobe help number people told me to come here to ask as there is no phone support. Can anyone get me to an adobe technician that can provide a price quote for finding out what created these files and for getting them converted? Thanks.

Sorry, I understood you to say you had the whole CS6 suite, which includes Illustrator.
As far as finding out what the files are, sometimes you can look at them in a text editor to figure this out. See below; the, Creator Tool line. Not every software package makes it this easy, though.

What does this statement mean: "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue?"

I am able to make it to the site for about 2 seconds and then I am quickly logged off and the statement, "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue."
I don't have a clue as to the problem but since this is impacting my participation in these classes and ultimately could have a negative impact on my grade, I am more than a little concerned!

Have you allowed this site to set cookies?

I get this message everytime I start Firefox..."We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page." How do I get rid of this?

Every time I'm finished with the internet, I close/exit out of Firefox, but every time I sign into Firefox, I get that annoying message telling me I have signed in or out of another message. What causes this and HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?
Thank you for any help.
I have contacted ATT DSL service, and they told me it must be my browser.

I have moved my sdcard over to my samsung brightside phone. but the videos can not be read. Is there anyone out there whom may have experienced the same issue?

i have moved my sdcard over to my samsung brightside phone,. but the videos can not be read. Is there anyone out there whom may have experienced the same issue? I also tried transferring my files over to my pc first, then reformatted the sdcard, then transferred to the appropriate files back onto the sdcard and put back into samsung.

Thanks for the info SuzyQ. lorsa, the community is correct, pictures and videos can be saved differently on other phones. What phone did you remove the SIM card from? Where did you purchase your SIM card from? Your previous phones SD card and format may not be compatible with your Brightside device. I show you advise that you reformated your memory card but make sure the files are saved correctly. Listed below are the different type of files you can save, receive, and view for pics and videos with your device.
Files that are compatible with the Brightside device:
JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe)
BMP (*.bmp)
PNG (*.png)
GIF (*.gif)
3G2 (*.3g2)
3GP (*.3gp)
MPEG4 (*.mpg)
Please let me know if the information above helped with your issue. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Make sure you always power cycle periodically. You may also need to peform a hard rest for your phone.

I read many technet articles and other blogs but that didn't solve this issue. I tried things like
A) Run as administrator
B) nmconfig /install in cmd
So could you please help me how I can fix this issue?
Regards,

Seems our driver didn't get installed. What you see when you type "sc query nm3" from a command prompt?
Thanks,
Paul

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I cannot figure out how to view the history of pages so I can easily go back to a page I may have been in 10 clicks ago.

In the latest version, I cannot figure out how to view the history of pages so I can easily go back to a page I may have been in 10 clicks ago. I don't want to have to hit the back button 10 times, I want to be able to view a list of the past clicks and pick where I want to go back to. How do I do that now?

Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored.

How can I find out what is on my iCloud. I used to share an account and now I don't but the other person may have accessed my cloud.

I am trying to find out what information it actually stored on my iCloud. I shared an account with someone and no longer do however I believe that the other person has accessed all of my contacts. Is there a way I can find out what was on the cloud that was accessed.

You can go to icloud.com from your computer to see what data is in the account (other than photo stream photos and your iCloud backup), but you won't know what data may have been accessed by someone else. If you're concerned, change your password as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624. After changing your iCloud ID password, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new password.
When you delete the account it only deletes the account and your synced data from your device, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will be synced back when you sign back in. Save you photo stream photos before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll)
