Mini laptop ?
 

Hey,

My Amazon account was suspended a while ago. I've bought a new laptop & changed my IP, so I can start selling again. The laptop was 800Euros, but I didn't purchase it specifically for selling on Amazon.

But there's a chance that I get suspended again. I'll need a new laptop if that happens.

Can I use cheap mini laptops/notebooks to sell on Amazon? They are like only 80 Euros or something. Those small 7 to 10 inch laptops.

Is that possible? I think it would be a cheap and quite good option. It's better than spending 800 Euros every time you get suspended :D.

If you have a new IP and new all-other-info, I would not see why not. They would work fine if you have a good browser.

New phone number too

I have a new IP and;

New name (father's)
New bankaccount (father's)
New address (PO box, I hope this works with Amazon?)
New e-mail
New IP
New credit card (prepaid)

I guess a new laptop is all that's left. I do have a new one, but I mainly use it for school, so there is a chance that I leave it behind in my locker, and I think that would be risky, especially if it is weekend (can't accept orders for 2-3 days, and I think this will result in a suspension if it happens a few times).

You dont need a need laptop.

If you want to keep it separate from your current laptops hard drive, just buy a new hard drive, install an OS on it and pop that in when you want to do Amazon

Will costs a lot less.

Well, uhm, I don't know a lot about computers :p.

Completely unrelated question:

My desktop computer does start, but my screen doesn't receive an ''input signal''. I opened my computer and cleaned it, but it still doesn't show anything. Not even the blue screen (windows computer, I am currently using my macbook).

We did receive a letter from our internet provider about a week ago, in which was stated that one of our computer was infected with some kind of a virus. Zero Access or something.

Edit:
D'OH! Forgot to state the actual question.

Question: what's the problem and how do I fix it? :p

I purchased a new display screen & anti-virus package 2 weeks ago and my computer crashes... My luck...

How much you figure a good hard drive will cost then...interesting point JamesNorth

You can pick up a reconditioned 40GB HD for £20 ($30)

Does the trick nicely. I keep 10 user accounts to each hard drive and have a couple of laptops. Never need to be logged into more than 2 or 3 accounts at a time, also stops any potential slowing down of the computer.

Hey,

I use my macbook as my main computer. But I don't want to change anything, as it is quite new and I don't want to lose my warranty.

But my desktop computer crashed. It does start, but no signal is send to my computer screen. I think this might be a hardware / drive problem? So I guess it's best if I replace the hardware on my desktop instead of my macbook as it is already crashed and a few years old.

BUT I don't know what to buy/replace. It is a Packard Bell computer and I use Windows Vista on it. Which type of hard drive (if there is any type) should I buy? Could you give maybe give me an Amazon link or something? :help:

@helpmelol

Look in your local papers for a computer shop.

Phone them and ask them about a hard drive and your other issues.

If you do not know what to do to solve problems, you can make more.

Try that.

Good Luck

Very cool with the cheap swap in and out.

@helpmelol, time to take your computer to a local service shop. Try to look for cost vs. value so you don't overpay. Best of luck
