  1. Hey, This might be a little off topic, but does anybody recommend any good places to learn about networking? It is something I am keep on learning as I want to do it as a job when I leave education later this year. Any of you guys have any resources/videos I could read/watch to learn? This would mean a lot guys Thank you for your time listening to me, Kind Regards VainApple.
  2. Nope, didn't smell anything burning. I cleaned everything out, compressed air and a micro fiber cloth. Applied some new thermal pasts to the CPU. And nope it is not under warranty, this laptop is like 5/6 years old! Had it a while now, good few years and its been great, just over the last 2 week is where this black screen problem occurred just out of the blue for no reason.
  3. I am back. I have a video but I do not how to add into the convo. I tried the laptop via VGA to my TV as I could not find the old monitor. I then tried the laptop to my TV via HDMI and still no result with this. I entered a CD into the disk tray, it span up and did nothing (not playing). I don't think I can even get past the log in screen, I tried entering password in through black screen which came to no avail.
  4. I have an old crappy monitor from an old PC I could use to plug in via VGA cable, I will go and get it now from the attic and see. Also, I got no log on noise like I should do, but anyway be right back just go and get this monitor
  5. I have tried before and still black screen. I suppose I can always try again, shall I do this HDMI or the VGA slot guys? Which will be best for results?

  7. Hey guys. Recently my laptop decided to stop working. I was using it as normal one day, turned it off like normal, and then the next day I turn it on and the screen is blank. The fan is spinning and the power light is on as normal, but the screen remains blank. I bought this piece of equipment which tells me a diagnostic code (shown in the image) and this is the code I received. I have had the laptop apart today, cleaned everything, taken everything out, then put back in about an hour later, everything screwed back into place, all; connections fine like normal, finalise the laptop and ready for turn on, and I still get the same message. Can anybody help me with this error POSTcode number of 01FF. It is driving me insane! Thank you for reading, Kind Regards Steven
  8. Good stuff. I am liking this. Will this old router help with download speed on my Xbox 360 by any chance? I started a download of a 6.5GB game yesterday at about 11:45 AM, and it finished at..... 8PM.....
  9. Nice find. I was thinking of turning the old router into a WAP but I am not sure how to do this and what are the risks as I am fairly new to networking. This website you posted seems helpful
  10. Hello guys. I am learning networking at University and I am currently in my first year. I am very excited to learn networking as it is what I would like to do as my future job. I was just curious, I have an old router just lying around at home and was wondering what you guys recommend that I can do with it? Thanks for listening to me - Ste.
