Thank you for starting a thread for computer related issues. I want to know if I can temporarily change the IP address so that I can surf the Internet as anonymous user? I have downloaded a free software for masking the IP address but the problem is, it sometimes freezes the websites. I have to refresh the fake IP address every time. I want to know if there is any good software (free to download?

if you insert it back into the bold 2 can you acess the files... ? Get the files out if that works....or do these.. Find a card reader and connect to your system. Open command prompt by going to all program-acessories-command prompt then type G: or whatever the devicee letter is maybe E: or F: and press enter key....type chkdsk and press enter. It should read and tell you there are errors. It should fix it automatically else type recover g: and press enter...note g is your drive location letter. Report back here.

has the laptop ever fallen? Is the britness due to changes in power plans like when you plug in the ac charger it lightens up and when you remove it dims. Or does it flicker on and off.

why not go for the dell 15s laptop sold by jumia at 67k or so. Core i3,500gb HDD, 4gb ram and a year warranty. Instead of all these you listed...that dell laptop is rugged and nice and graphics is better than previous versions. It has an intel high definitiom graphic and can play latest games without problems. Just installed need for speed most wanted by ea games on it and its running smooth with not even a slight sign of overheating.

Sorry..thought i saw 500gb & 4gb...320gb to 500gb is no big difference.if i were you i would pick that to an intel that's just dual core at 79k to an i3 at 67k. You can even buy 500GB external hdd at less than 10k if you want additional space.Or even buy an SSD I bet you. You cant use up the 320GB. Except you want to start a data warehouse biz.. cheesy cheesy

But I can vouch for those dell systems. you could as well pick the vostro which is 71k with 4gb, 320gb hdd
