Squiffy Laptop Screen
The screen goes 'liney'. It sort of flickers with green lines all over it. Tried restarting, and then I get an error message, but it doesn't specify the error, just recommends restarting. It was fine the first time I turned it on ~ it's 2nd hand ~ and then it went squiffy. It was suggested that the memory could be loose,…

Want a mid-range camcorder but which?
I don't know a lot about camcorders (most of my experience has been with still cameras) so I wonder if you could point me to a good review site. I want one with an optical zoom lens so most of the cheapest models are unsuitable. I also want to show my results on our Panasonic High Definition TV so presumably require a HD…

This technology is around the corner but I dont know much about it. Does anyone know whether we'll need to buy a new '3D' television or whether an existing 1080p screen will work?
