New Battery

Just bougth an HP Mini Netbook – seems that the battery is either 1) Inserted incorrectly (cannot imagine how, it just clicks in); 2) Will not take a charge; 3) Battery indicator does not indicate there is a battery, or I guess 4) Battery is defective.   Any clues/suggestions? Thank you!  

Multimedia Control Panel not working

Hi, I have a Gateway M-6750 and the multimedia control panel is not working and also the touch volume on top is not working. However, the mute button on top does work. It’s strange. If you could help me figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it, I would be very grateful.

How to Upgrade to Win 7?

I recently purchased an HP DV4.  It qualified for the Win upgrade since it has Vista Home Premium 64 bit.  Could someone tell me how to do that?  I remember seeing somewhere that HP will send discs by mail.  But how does HP know my address?  Do I need to requerst it?  Or better yet, can I download it from somewhere?  Thanks for your help.

Introducing Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Apple promised a year ago that the successor to Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) would be all of the things The Six Million Dollar Man was — faster, stronger and better.  Well, now we get to find out how much faster and better it really is. Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6) makes its debut this week with many tweaks and enhancements.  Apple’s focus was on making Leopard — already a good thing — better, not just on adding new features.  The refinements have reduced Snow Leopard’s footprint to approximately 5GB, less than half of the disc space needed by its predecessor.  There is a brand new finder, 64-bit support, Open CL technology, brand new and streamlined Quicktime player, faster and easier installation, and numerous other performance-boosting enhancements.   Snow Leopard is available in both single-computer and family-pack versions, depending on how many Intel-based Macs you have in your household.   My copy’s already ordered!  You should get yours too.

The Witcher Enhanced Edition

I bought this game and it says I don’t have the minimum requirements.  How do I improve my computer to run this software.  Can anyone help me?

PS3/PS3 Slim deal

So I bought my PS3 about 6-8 months ago I think.  It has been awesome and never really had a issue with it.  Sadly I saw the price drop but I know its to late to do anything about it but I just saw this too, http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/26/rumor-best-buy-offering-new-ps3-buyers-a-free-game-to-discourag/  I’m not sure if it is true or not.  I wish I could take advatage if it is but since it has been so long, I think I am out of luck.  Oh well maybe it will actually break one day so I can get it replaced.

iPhone upgrade gone wrong

This topic has been moved to the Best Buy and Geek Squad Policies board under Customer Service.

returned a laptop, just remembered i registered for win7

i bought two acer laptops for me and my brother. i opened up mine and registered for win7 and registered his before opening it.  turns out when he came back from his trip he wanted a laptop with eSATA and HDMI so i returned his unopened box.  just today as i was registering an MSI laptop he bought from JR.com that i alrady did a win7 upgrade for him (but from that Acer laptop).   i don’t want bestbuy or acer coming back at me in 2 months when win7 comes out.  do i just let this go or do i have to call up acer or bestbuy and have them cancel the  registration for the returned acer laptop?  or will they just send me that copy anyways?
