I don't have a problem with my Portege 7100 laptop. I need to get an owner's manual.

Hi! Welcome to Fixya.
Yes, you can run your laptop without the battery. Just plug in your ac adapter.

Thank you for contacting Fixya. Bye for now.

Most later model laptops support up to 2Gb of RAM.

The computer very well may not be capable of displaying 32bit graphics. It is afterall over 10 years old. Very few Pentium III 500Mhz machines with 64MB of Ram (as your computer shipped with from Toshiba) would have had a graphics adapter stout enough to do so.

Slide the button on the front to the left and lift laptop up

no you just need a wireless router

Reinstall the laptop drivers to check.

ur screen is out try hooking ur labtop up to a desktop monitor

Joe how can one help you if you don't tell us what type of help you want? I am sorry joe but need more info

all are not same but you buy through ebay you cant replace it go the shop and verfy onces

they should be the same the close number just means that they revised something... most laptops have builtin wi fi but if it doesnt just buy a cheapie usb or pc slot card! I would NOT reccomend that you install windows vista on your pc.....there are still yet too many problems with them and you will have A VERY hard time getting drivers that are compatible

as far as the rest of the specs... ask the seller! they should know or see if it says on the ebay auction page
