iPod screen flashing

Hi, I have a 5.5G iPod that I bought last year (I think.. I can't remember!). Anyway, my iPod's screen has been flashing over and over again! It won't turn on. I can't even reset the damn thing. And I can't connect it to the computer! Anybody knows what's happening? Please help!

Laptop Problems

Okay, here are the problems with the laptop.

My laptop is an Acer Travelmate 4000.

The screen has been giving me these very colourful vertical lines. Connected the lappie to an external monitor and it was fine so that means it must be problems with the monitor, right? And then the other problem is with my USB ports. My laptop has three USB ports, 2 has malfuntioned. When I connect something to the port, it won't detect it.

How much would it cost to repair all of these? My friend had a similar problem with her laptop's USB ports and then she had to replace her motherboard but it was still under warranty, so does that mean I have to replace mine?

On top of that, my charger decided to kill itself LOL. Problems problems.

Is it worth it to repair or should I just buy a new one?

I was so also planning to upgrade the RAM because now it's just a measly 512MB.

Laptop Problems

I'm facing many problems with my laptop nowadays.

My laptop is an Acer TravelMate 4000 (to be exact, TravelMate 4000 WLCi).

My LCD screen is giving me some colourful vertical lines when I turn it on but this usually happens when I've not turned the laptop on after a few days. It usually goes away after a few minutes (depends on how long I've not turned it on). Another problem that I have is with the USB ports. Sometimes they'll work, but most of the time anything that I plug into the port won't even be detected.

What I want to ask is how much would it cost to get it repaired?

Blank screen on phone

I dropped my Nokia 6111 a few times already and as a result, the screen has died on me! It still lights up, but there's nothing on the screen. Does anybody know how much is it to repair this? And where can I repair it?

Windows XP Product Key

I've just reformatted by laptop. As I've lost my restore disks, so I figured I'd reformat it using the Windows XP Home disk instead. Everything is fine, except that when I try to use the product key that's pasted underneath the laptop to activate Windows, it says incorrect product key! (Another PC is using the other product key) Help me! Do I have to purchase another key? Was it wrong for me to use the product key?
