When I switch off - there is the same delay. From this I guess there...

    iKlear - recommended by many manufacturers - Apple use it in their workshops - very good stuff. LCD Panel screens need very careful choice of product or you get a nice shiny and largely useless doorstop! http://www.screenclean.co.uk/ - a good source. I maintain a lot of screens at work and...

    PC upgrade

    The ports on the motherboard go out through a mask with holes in it. The chances are the mask on your P111 case will not quite match, but it's thinthinthin tin - scissors! No or unlikely - yours is probably a PCI graphics card - might be early AGP (short brown slot) A new MB will have built in...
