Do you have the recovery disk set?

If all you have done is change the CMOS battery then the BIOS should be fine but it will have been reset to default settings which may have changed the Boot device and / or boot sequence.

Go in to the BIOS setup when you power on the computer and check that you have your main hard disk drive set as the main boot device.

Your eMachines T3508 has one PCI-Express (PCI-E x16) slot available, so yes you can use this card with it (this video card for newer Pentium 4 motherboards with PCI-x slot).

There is a good chance that you could restore the computer without the restore discs. It all depends on if there is a recovery partition built into the machine. Here is what you should do:

1. Restart your computer.
2. Tap F11 a few times before the windows loading screen.
3. Choose to restore your computer if step 2 worked.

After that your computer should be like new.

If you don't have a recovery partition try contacting microsoft and see if they can give you a copy of the operating system you are running. Just make sure you have your product key handy. It should be located somewhere on the case. Good luck.

I also purchased two of these computers. I wiped the HDD and installed Win7 Ultimate. I could not get the wireless NIC driver to install. My solution was to use another wireless USB NIC and use Windows Update, Voila everything was fine. Iam writing this post with one of them. I am somewhat confused by your post referring to a Broadcom NIC. Both of my machines have AtherosAR5B5 wireless network adapters and Atheros AR9132 PCI-e Fast Internet Comtrolers. Broadcom has always meant Bluetooth driver to me, but I may be mistaken about that.

I have always thought of eMachines as being the cheapest in both price and quality but I did a rather extensive investigation on netbooks in general and could not find and justification for spending twice as much for a more popular name brand with basically the same capacities.

I don't know how to do one to one assistance on this site, but if you can figure it out I would be more than willing to help you. I am very pleased with these two netbooks!

go to this site, choose your model, then download and install the video driver:

The site does not support downloading of their manuals. I tried to find other information or manuals but cannot reach other sites on www.emachines.com at this time, I think they might be having site issues. I will keep looking and keep you posted. http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html not loading at this time from my location.

The only sure way to quiet it down is to replace the hard drives with newer ones, that you have selected based on their noise rating, AND to replace all the fans in the machine with fans that you have selected based on their noise rating. I did this for my self-built machine last year and never regretted spending the money on new drives and new fans. It's SO much quieter! ;)
