Troubleshoot for yourself - Dell related problems
Yesterday One of my friend ask me to help him out, He was facing some problem with his dell laptop ( 1525 ) , His laptop goes off without showing any error message , It was just a power setting problem
today i thought of writing one FAQ post over dell (laptop) related problems with their solution, so here it is......
There is a vertical line coming on my screen ,pinkish in Colour on the left side of the screen..
For line on screen :
1. update video drivers from support.dell.com
if that does not work
2. boot to BIOS , if still you see the lines on BIOS screen then there is problem with videocard or monitor,(LCD SCREEN)..
but if there is no problem on BIOS SCREEN , u have to format and reinstall windows .
You can also run Test by pressing Fn key while booting .But around 75% of such cases are problem with video drivers or LCD..
I formatted Vista and loaded win xp sp2 prof edition. Now my Fn key is not working (not the usual F1 and F2 stuff). Do i need to install a driver for this. if yes then which one.
More than 60 % people have formatted vista and facing problems with xp...
Fn, f2 f8, f6 ...will not work now , because these came pre installed from Dell..
SOLUTIONS
1. visit support.dell.com and download and install all the drivers according to your notebook. for XP .
2. if you have an active warranty . call del tech support . and tell them that your hdd had gone bad... tell them its not booting up .... and its stuck on blue screen ... they will tell u to boot to F6 or F8 screen , then tell them that u cannot see hdd over there ..
After that they will walk u through troubleshooting , do it smartly and make them replace your hdd ...important
TELL THEM TO SEND FIHDD (factory instaled hdd)..once u got them ...use vista
Keyboard Letter Keys not getting Pressed
update the BIOS
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/,if that does not work , run the custom test that will test your keyboard . When i start the booting process, the vista screen(Green and bluish) comes out and a small patch on my screen on the left hand side appears illuminated, it shows very light green color almost looking white....
Boot to BIOS ,,if screen has those patches then the video card or lcd is not working...connect a external monitor to check whether it is a lcd problem or a video card
but if patches are missing on BIOS screen then its software problem...update video and bios drivers if that does not work u have to reinstall windows
My wi-fi is not working...
there is a function key on which there is wireless logo
wireless logo >>>> http://www.psln.com/img/logo_wireless_icon.jpg, what you have to do is Press 'Fn' Key with that key >>> , for example if the wireless logo is on F1 key then you have to press Fn+F1., and for F2 you have to press Fn+F2.
computer restarts after certain time It could be problem with the codec needed to play the audio format, I would suggest the following steps -
1. To isolate whether it is some app causing the prob - disable all startup items and all non Microsoft services and then try playing the game. Also play some mp3 to check if the audio codecs have any corruption.
2. If mp3s play and game runs fine after doing step1 - try to single out the application from the list of startup items causing the problem and then reinstall the app. If music files also don't play - uninstall the sound driver from the device manager and while doing so make sure you select the option if you have for deleting the driver files too. Reinstall the updated audio driver from support.ap.dell.com and then check.
3. If mp3s play but you still get the message while playing the game, install K-Lite mega codec pack - default selections and then check.
4. Additionally to doing the above if your OS is any flavour of Vista - then definitely run the following command at command prompt - sfc /scannow
System goes off without any error messege
If computer restarts after certain time method 1:
go to control panel >> change it to classic view and then go to power options >>on lest side click the option "change when computer sleeps" >> then change all options to never >> and save changes ....just below that >>click option of change advance power settings >>
there will be lots of option like hard drive , hibernate >> change the required one's to never then click "ok"..
method 2 :
xp users :
right click on my computer >> click properties
vista users :
right click on my computer >> properties >> click advance system settings
now both xp and vista : you are on system properties >> go to advance tab >> click on settings under startup and recovery area >> there will be an option " automatically restart" ....uncheck that option.....then click ok

SEO Techniques: Link Building
LINK BUILDING AND ITS HISTORY It started off long back when Google implemented the Pagerank concept in the Search Algorithm. Webmasters all over the world started misusing them for their own benefit. Concepts like Link Farms and bad neighborhood came into effect. Thanks to Google that took evasive measures to tackle this kind of spam through their numerous updates.
LINK BUILDING FOR GOOGLE
From my experience I can say that it is really tough to make your way to the top ten in Google for competitive keywords. Google considers Link as a vote of support from a site to another site on the web. And for that you have to pick quality links. Editorial links are the preferred ones but even links given out by other sites are appreciated. Link bought through any kind of network or Paid Links are the typical links that can harm you in the process and the effect may vary from poor performance to getting banned from Google.
LINK BUILDING FOR YAHOO AND MSN
For Yahoo and MSN the case is different. If you have proper structure with great navigation, content, and few numbers of links, then you have good chance to rank for fairly competitive keywords.
IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER WHILE LINK BUILDING
1. Do not link out to bad neighborhood site.
2. Always check the link provided to you.
3. Before giving a link out to any site think how it would help your visitors.
4. Getting a link from related site is much more appreciated.
5. Check the Anchor Text and the position of the link.
6. Check the Anchor Text of the link pointing out to the site linking to you.
7. Prefer directories for best one way links.
8. Editorial links are preferred ahead of other links.
Inbound links are one of the main factors for ranking well for competitive keywords. But only number of inbound links can't do the job for you. Inbound links are only helpful when it is a one-way link or a relevant link for your site. That's why there is always two opinions regarding link building.
Copywriting - By Hand or Hire?
One solution is "outsourcing" authorship to various copywriting companies that specialize is writing website content.
These companies usually have staffs that specialize in various categories and often provide bulk rates for mass production. Though we do not endorse any particular company or website (nor are we affiliated with any),
we have provided a short list of some available companies that are worth exploring:
Elance.com: Web Content Providers
M.L. O'Brien Communications
Another solution is to automate the authoring process by writing scripts to convert the text and information from eBay's API into coherent, relevant "articles" that appear alongside the listings. eBay's API enables affiliates to access listing-level titles and descriptions - a wealth of text and information that can be turned into valuable content. For standardized items like DVDs, Books, CDs and electronics,
this information is standardized and cataloged - and is accessible via the API. For instance, look at the listings for "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" on eBay; there is valuable content in each listing that would supplement any related affiliate webpage. Of course, our information can be parlayed alongside other forms of relevant content such as datafeeds, pertinent articles, blogs, etc… just remember, content is only worthwhile if it is relevant and adds value!
Generating unique content can be time consuming. If content is needed for only select number of pages, it can be done by oneself or internally. If content needs to be generated across 1,000s of pages, content development becomes tougher.
