ok, the screen going blank may be your inverter going bad. i do not know about the wireless issue. and the sluggishness of windows is due to the fact that your computer isnt really powerful enuf for vista.
Cannot connect to the internet
you should have a button F2. if you push the function button located at the bottom left hand side next to the Ctrl button and press F2 that should turn it back on.
Oper. sytem will not load w/ 2 Gb upgrade only w/
Is your "2GB upgrade" one memory-stick, or two?
If it is one, then it's possible that the motherboard does not support so much RAM on one stick.
If it is two, then remove one stick, and try.
If it still fails, then remove that stick, and try the other stick.
If it still fails, then try your original 512KB stick.
If it still fails, then try your original 1GB stick.
It won't bootup and it beeps
probably itz either minor case of software corruption/improper ground/cpu fan..
or major case of faulty or defective main board/ram/daughter or addon card(s)..
..plz do check the following as in order:..
the Hardware part:..
1)a)in
power on mode, open/unplug the data/vga cable of the monitor
from cabinet..see if raster or 'osd' is appearing on the monitor
screen..if so monitor is ok..else replace the monitor and see..[not
applicable in case of laptop]..
b) in case of laptop try to get
output from external display unit/monitor using vga port..if there's
proper display in there..the problem is probably with either the 'lcd'
or 'ccfl' or 'inverter circuit'..
2) if u hv a graphics card, replace with a standby or onboard and see..[not applicable in case of laptop]..
3) unplug mains supply..pick open/remove the cmos battery..check (above +3v)..resit..
4)see if
the ram(s) is loose/faulty..open clean/remove carbon & or
oxide formed on the teeth with an eraser n resit it..or replace with a
standby n see..
5) a) see if ur hdd is noisy or emitting any 'ticking' noise (like 'tuk tuk' or 'kirr kirr')..
b) or if the system is not supporting either the newly installed device or itz software/driver /firmware
if so, u need either a fresh os installation or ur hdd is likely to b replaced..
6)remove/clean
dust neatly..dust is non-uniform in nature n may cause jam/short
circuitry/excess resistance n many more..resulting an increase in heat..
7)
open the CPU Heat-Sink with fan out of the socket..put some "Heat Sink
Compound" (available in local electronics chip level spare market)
between the cpu/processor and the CPU Heat Sink *** fan..resit/fit it
tightly in position..
8)on main/mother board..see with a debug
card for mb error..may b short..look for defective capacitors(esp
above1000mfd)/mosfets..go through the mb's south bridge n the circuit
lie around atx connector..the crystal clock generator (if cpu isn't
heating up)..
9) [in case of desktop] the smps itself may b
defective/faulty..check the outputs of smps viz. 0v (black~ground); +12v
(yellow); +5v (red, green~ps-on, violet~pg& grey~sb); -12v (blue);
-5v(white); +3.3v(orange)..the 'oscillator and error amplifier ic',
or pwm switching regulator circuit..look for
defective protector-transformer/resistance(esp 4.7k)/mosfet..
check the battery n adapter [main power], in case of laptops..
if u r bot a professional, always better to seek advise from ur system admin/vendor....
How do I get enable my stepnote laptop to have
Based on the web site it looks like your OS is VISTA. go to help and type in "wireless network" this might get you to a help page that can walk you through how to turn on radio. I know this is vague but I am not that familiar with VISTA yet. I know in XP i would go to "Control Panel" > "Wireless Network Setup" this opens a wizard that steps you through starting your wireless network.
I Hope this helps some.
GOOD LUCK!!

go find your rescue disc or just reinstall windows the info on the hard drive is gone but if you want to pay it proably can be somewhat retrieved by an expert computer lab

look around ur laptop, there should be a button key or a switch 2 turn it on. if look on the bottom right on ur taskbar, there might be an icon for ur connections e.g. bluetooth, wlan, wi-fi etc. see if u can switch it on from there. if u still can't do it take ur laptop 2 a pc world center and they might be able to help u. i hope dis helped =)

Hi,
On your Everex laptop look at your keyboard and press the following>>>>
FN + F2 they both have blue symbols on them.
Your wireless radio should now turn on and detect your wireless network.

Make sure it is getting enough airflow underneath. Laptops generate a lot of heat that must be removed.
