Just chiming in...my family has owned a 20gb PS3 since launch and it has been extremely reliable, as in not a single issue. It hasn't even been given the TLC that it probably deserves. It replaced a defective slim PS2 and has been playing PS2 games probably more than PS3 games for a long time now. T...

How in any way is that a problem? Christian Bale is an outstanding actor.

jp1 was helping me out and he also informed Device Manager would not be very helpful. I went to Samsung's website (maker of my laptop) and they didn't have any firmware updates for me.

Ok, well I did the best I could with the best I have at getting the corrosion off. It appears to be off and the system seems to be working just fine. I put wii sports in, played for about 10 minutes and everything worked just fine. Before I put it back together I'm wondering if there is anything I s...

So basically buying a laptop with blu-ray capabilities was absolutely pointless. I haven't been able to play a new release in who knows how long. I finally downloaded the newest version of Cyberlink which is completely up-to-date and it still won't play my movie! I've only managed to play a handful...

Well I finally got to the actual eject button on the board. It does appear there is some kind of corrosion on the switch and where it is attached to the board.
