How to Use a Symbol When You Have a Laptop
1, Make sure you have a laptop that has those hidden numbers on some of your letter keys. (Usually a different color than white).
You could also have a separate regular keyboard instead of using the keyboard that is in your laptop.
2, Look for a key that matches the color of the hidden key-number.
3, Hold down this key, then start holding down the Alt key, then hold down the hidden key with the number 3 on it.
4, Congratulate yourself. You now have a heart!
5, Remember you can also go into your character map, a few utility in Windows, to find the symbol that you want, cut it, and paste it.
Try to hold down the keys all at the same time.
If you don't have a newer laptop, then you can type in & hearts ; but without the spaces.

Laptop Keyboard Sony Various VGN-NR Series
Compatible Code:NSK-S6101 9J.N0A82.101 81-31205001-04
Fits Models: Various VGN-NR Series, Various VGN-NR160ES, Various VGN-NR110E, Various VGN-NR260ES, Various VGN-NR240ET, Various VGN-NR280ES, Various VGN-NR260ET, Various VGN-NR285ES, Various VGN-NR280ET, Various VGN-NR110ES, Various VGN-NR120ES, Various VGN-NR123ES, Various VGN-NR110ET, Various VGN-NR220ES, Various VGN-NR240ES, Various VGN-NR160E
Type Foreign Language Characters with an American Keyboard
1,Go to the Control Panel and click on Regional and Language Options.
2,Click the Language tab, and under text services, click "details".
This will open another window with the list of installed and available languages.
3,If you wish, remove the English US keyboard from the list. Highlight it in the list and click Remove.
Alternatively, you can have multiple keyboards installed at once. (For instance, the configuration shown includes Greek and Dvorak keyboards.) For multiple keyboards, you may select the default keyboard of your choice. You may also wish to define a keystroke to switch between the selected keyboards.
4,Click add.
5,Pick the first thing as English (USA). Click on the second one below it and find United States (International).
6,Click OK, and OK and you have it!
7,To use this keyboard, notice that it is similar, with a few differences. For example, when you push the [`] button (next to the one) it just makes a backtick [`]. However, if you press [`] and then a vowel (for example o) it will produce ò. Typing
[`] and [o] makes ò
['] and [o] makes ó
8,Find more options by pressing SHIFT:
The [~],[^], and ["] also function as accent keys.
[~] and [o] makes õ (~ is also used for Spanish ñ or Portuguese ã)
[^] and [o] makes ô
["] and [o] makes ö
9,Learn to use Alt-Gr. On this keyboard layout, Alt-Gr this takes the place of the Alt key on the right side. Alt is short for "alternative". Press it to get the following keyboard layout:
10,Optional: If you still want to do other unicode characters like ţ, ş, ă, ą, ł, or ☏, ☼, ♂, etc. Install the free software JLG Extended Keyboard Layout then redo the steps above, except that instead of choosing the US International keyboard layout, you choose the US (JLGv11) keyboard. More than 1000 unicode character are made available in this layer.
Note:Some languages still don't have very good software support. Asian languages and Indian languages typically require certain fonts to be installed.
Right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, may display poorly in some circumstances, and may not coexist well in the same page or document as left-to-right languages.
As you can see, this keyboard layout incorporates most letters used for west European languages, including French, Spanish, German, Danish, Old English, Swedish, Portuguese, and others. You can also type world Currency symbols like Euro (€), Yen (¥), and the generic World currency symbol (¤).
These accent adder button things are quite useful, but remember if you want to type just a ["] you will have to press the space bar after it so it is not combined with the next letter (example "At" vs. Ät").
If you are missing other keys you will need to learn the alt+ code for the letter(s), buy a foreign keyboard, or download the Microsoft custom keyboard layout maker from the developers site. To use an alt code, hold down Alt while typing a number. For instance, Alt+165 produces ñ.
If you want to type in a language that is composed of all non-English characters, such as Greek or Russian, it is best to install that keyboard and, if you wish, choose a keystroke to switch between English and that other language.

Pop a Key Back Onto a Dell Laptop Keyboard
1, Start with all the pieces. Examine them carefully. Note where the tiny tabs are on them. Arrange them correctly according to the diagram.
2, Note the orientations of the tabs on the U-shaped piece, and slip the tabs under the metal loops on the laptop.
3, Slip the second O-shaped piece through the centre of the U-piece.
4, Hook the tabs on the O-piece under the hooks on the laptop.
5, Click the tabs in the O-piece into the notches in the U-piece.
6, At this point, the two pieces are gently locked together. If done correctly, they will not sit flat. They will be raised slightly above the laptop surface.
7, Place the key right side up over the U and O pieces.
8, Click it into place.
9, Voila! The key is replaced.
It may be easier to remove the base U-shaped piece from the keyboard in order to attach the O-shaped piece (or attach the pieces together before replacing to keyboard)
You might want to turn your computer off while doing this to avoid causing errors in your open applications.
Make sure you ground your self by placing one hand on the metal part of the notebook
If you break any of the plastic parts on an often used key, you can harvest spare parts from a seldom used key. Just be very careful when taking the key's plastic parts off
For a Latitude D800 this works slightly different. Best tip is to carefully remove another key as well and peek how to do it.
If you are trying to put the spacebar on your dell laptop, there is also a long U shaped metal wire. Two ends of the wire go into their slots, and then you can pop back the spacebar key on top of the frames (i.e. the two set of frames for the spacebar)
It's all too easy to pop the keys off a laptop, and almost impossible to get them back on without losing or destroying the nigh-microscopic parts. This is a step-by-step diagram of how to put the keys back together on a Dell 4150 Inspiron, but the principles should work on other Dell laptops; these steps with HP Pavilion notebooks as well.
Note:Make sure that you don't scratch the board underneath the key on some models.
Doing this may void your warranty.

How to Select a Laptop Bag to Travel With
1, Decide on the type of laptop. The options available are metallic cases, backpacks, messenger bags, totes, briefcases and sleeves.
2, Research on the various materials available for the particular type of bag you choose. Corduroy, koskin, vinyl and suede are some of the popular materials. Go for a lightweight, waterproof, good-looking and easy-to-maintain material.
3, Ensure that good quality padding is in place. Good quality padding provides better safety to the laptop.
4, Give a discerning look at the seams to ascertain the quality of stitching. That is the area taking up maximum load. Good stitching at the seams contributes to the life of your bag.
5, Look for good quality zippers and other fastening attachments. The better the locking facility, the more secure is the laptop.
6, Look for a spacious interior so that it can accommodate both the notebook and other accessories, such as an extra battery, chargers, cables etc.
7, Look for external pockets. External pockets are a great addition to your laptop bag. Just think of the advantages if you have space for your mobile or iPod in the bag.
8, Make sure your notebook has more than one holding option. For example, a briefcase type handle, shoulder straps, messenger bag type strap and, if possible, telescopic handles along with wheels are some of the holding options you should look for.
9, Pick a color that you love. This will contribute to the "belongingness" you develop for your laptop bag.
10, Make sure that you get the best value for money. Compare prices and features and then buy.
Carrying a laptop is a necessity for professionals who fly frequently. So the safety and comfort of the laptop is of prime importance to you if you belong to that category. Since the laptop bag is a part of the trip, it makes sense to choose one that is made for your needs. Let's help you choose one.
Note:Do not get carried away by a particular brand. Test a few models from different brands before selecting.

Make Your Laptop Last Longer
Laptop accessories of lcd inverter :Pavilion ZV5000 Series, Pavilion ZV5100 Series, Pavilion ZV5200 Series, Notebook 500 Series, Notebook 510 Series, Notebook 520 Series
How to Make Your Laptop Last Longer
1, Purchase a luggage tag to attach to the carrying case with your name in it (no flap that covers the name).
2, Attach something unique to the carrying case (to prevent someone else from mistaking your case for theirs).
3, Label all parts of the laptop with your name and put a sticky address label on the top of the laptop, inside, under the keyboard, both parts of the power cord, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/Floppy drives, and a USB drive.
4, Safety and Care
Be cautious about leaving the laptop unattended anywhere that there is a chance it could easily be knocked onto the floor, sat on, or stepped on.
Know that dropping, jostling, or bumping will cause damage to the hard drive (if the computer is turned on).
Do not place drinks next to the computer. One accidental spill onto the keyboard will damage it, probably beyond repair.
Always hold the laptop by the bottom (keyboard half), never the screen. Use two hands.
Correctly remove the wireless card (if applicable) before transporting.
Do not store the laptop where very cold or very hot.
Do not place the laptop close to any electrical appliance, because it generates a magnetic field.
5, Screen/Body of Laptop
Never twist the screen on its hinges (it could crack the screen.)
Do not ever scratch or push on the screen.
Never close the lid when a pencil or pen is left on the keyboard (it could crack the screen.)
Don't slam the lid down (it might damage screen or hinges).
Always transport the laptop in a padded carry case, and never stack items on the lid of the laptop.
Stickers leave a residue that can cause permanent damage.
Clean the screen with a lint-free cloth; Do not use Window Cleaner the ammonia will dull the screen. Use a screen cleaner from a computer supply store.
6, Electrical Cord
Be careful when removing the power cord. Yanking it out of the laptop from a distance will cause damage.
Do not wrap the cord tightly around itself. Instead, loosely wrap it in a figure eight pattern.
Never turn the laptop over when it is plugged in. This could break the adapter plug at the back of the laptop.
7, Disks
Be careful when removing disks from drives. Small pieces are easy to snap off if you are not careful.
Do not use damaged floppy disks!
Remove disks from CD-ROM drive or floppy drive before carrying.
8, Software related
Downloaded software and screensavers often cause conflicts and use valuable memory. Remember that the laptop is a tool for learning and keeping it free of extras will keep it working quicker with less freezing.
Always back up all files in at least two places.
Virus protection is very important.
Beware of Spyware. It is the latest computer security problem. Spyware is software designed to collect computer users' personal data without their knowledge. Spyware is secretly installed with many downloaded Internet software programs, and transmits information about computer usage and generates pop-up advertisements. Microsoft estimates that spyware is responsible for half of all PC crashes.
9, Routine Laptop Maintenance
Run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter at least monthly. You can find this under "Accessories," listed with Programs. Start > Programs > Accessories. Be sure to turn off screen saver before performing maintenance.
Check for disk errors at least monthly. Open "My Computer." Right click on drive C, then select Properties. Click on the Tools tab. Where you see Error Checking, click on "Check now." Select "automatically fix file system errors," and then Start. You may be prompted to restart the machine.
Set virus protection software to download and install updates automatically and enable virus realtime protection.
Perform weekly virus scans.
Set your computer to automatically download any newly released Windows updates. To do this: Open the Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel) and double-click “System.” Click on the Automatic Updates tab and make your selections. Most people prefer the option “Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them.”
10, Recommended Computer Settings
Microsoft Word User Information (this feature automatically adds author information to Microsoft Office files)
Open Microsoft Word.
Tools > Options. Click on the User Information tab.
Enter your name and address.
AutoRecovery Settings (this feature will make your computer automatically save your work as you are working)
Open Microsoft Word.
Tools > Options. Click the Save tab.
Put a check in the box where it says "Save AutoRecover info every:"
Enter 5 in the minutes box.
Printing Settings (this feature sets printers to work fast, using the least amount of ink)
Start > Settings > Printers.
All printers that have been installed are shown.
Click on a printer to select it.
Right-click, and then choose Properties.
Click on the Setup tab, and under print quality, select draft.
Click on the Advanced tab, and put a check in the box by "print in grayscale." At school, we request you print in grayscale for most assignments. For special projects when you need something printed in color, you can remove the checkmark.
How to Make Your Laptop Last Longer
1, Purchase a luggage tag to attach to the carrying case with your name in it (no flap that covers the name).
2, Attach something unique to the carrying case (to prevent someone else from mistaking your case for theirs).
3, Label all parts of the laptop with your name and put a sticky address label on the top of the laptop, inside, under the keyboard, both parts of the power cord, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/Floppy drives, and a USB drive.
4, Safety and Care
Be cautious about leaving the laptop unattended anywhere that there is a chance it could easily be knocked onto the floor, sat on, or stepped on.
Know that dropping, jostling, or bumping will cause damage to the hard drive (if the computer is turned on).
Do not place drinks next to the computer. One accidental spill onto the keyboard will damage it, probably beyond repair.
Always hold the laptop by the bottom (keyboard half), never the screen. Use two hands.
Correctly remove the wireless card (if applicable) before transporting.
Do not store the laptop where very cold or very hot.
Do not place the laptop close to any electrical appliance, because it generates a magnetic field.
5, Screen/Body of Laptop
Never twist the screen on its hinges (it could crack the screen.)
Do not ever scratch or push on the screen.
Never close the lid when a pencil or pen is left on the keyboard (it could crack the screen.)
Don't slam the lid down (it might damage screen or hinges).
Always transport the laptop in a padded carry case, and never stack items on the lid of the laptop.
Stickers leave a residue that can cause permanent damage.
Clean the screen with a lint-free cloth; Do not use Window Cleaner the ammonia will dull the screen. Use a screen cleaner from a computer supply store.
6, Electrical Cord
Be careful when removing the power cord. Yanking it out of the laptop from a distance will cause damage.
Do not wrap the cord tightly around itself. Instead, loosely wrap it in a figure eight pattern.
Never turn the laptop over when it is plugged in. This could break the adapter plug at the back of the laptop.
7, Disks
Be careful when removing disks from drives. Small pieces are easy to snap off if you are not careful.
Do not use damaged floppy disks!
Remove disks from CD-ROM drive or floppy drive before carrying.
8, Software related
Downloaded software and screensavers often cause conflicts and use valuable memory. Remember that the laptop is a tool for learning and keeping it free of extras will keep it working quicker with less freezing.
Always back up all files in at least two places.
Virus protection is very important.
Beware of Spyware. It is the latest computer security problem. Spyware is software designed to collect computer users' personal data without their knowledge. Spyware is secretly installed with many downloaded Internet software programs, and transmits information about computer usage and generates pop-up advertisements. Microsoft estimates that spyware is responsible for half of all PC crashes.
9, Routine Laptop Maintenance
Run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter at least monthly. You can find this under "Accessories," listed with Programs. Start > Programs > Accessories. Be sure to turn off screen saver before performing maintenance.
Check for disk errors at least monthly. Open "My Computer." Right click on drive C, then select Properties. Click on the Tools tab. Where you see Error Checking, click on "Check now." Select "automatically fix file system errors," and then Start. You may be prompted to restart the machine.
Set virus protection software to download and install updates automatically and enable virus realtime protection.
Perform weekly virus scans.
Set your computer to automatically download any newly released Windows updates. To do this: Open the Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel) and double-click “System.” Click on the Automatic Updates tab and make your selections. Most people prefer the option “Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them.”
10, Recommended Computer Settings
Microsoft Word User Information (this feature automatically adds author information to Microsoft Office files)
Open Microsoft Word.
Tools > Options. Click on the User Information tab.
Enter your name and address.
AutoRecovery Settings (this feature will make your computer automatically save your work as you are working)

Tools > Options. Click the Save tab.
Put a check in the box where it says "Save AutoRecover info every:"
Enter 5 in the minutes box.
Printing Settings (this feature sets printers to work fast, using the least amount of ink)
Start > Settings > Printers.
All printers that have been installed are shown.
Click on a printer to select it.
Right-click, and then choose Properties.
Click on the Setup tab, and under print quality, select draft.
Click on the Advanced tab, and put a check in the box by "print in grayscale." At school, we request you print in grayscale for most assignments. For special projects when you need something printed in color, you can remove the checkmark.
