How can I kill a MicroSD card...

without leaving any marks? The 32GB MicroSD card I purchased in May no longer retains files that are written to it, the files that are on it can't be deleted and no software I've tried can successfully format it. SDFormatter complains that it is write-protected. Windows XP, HP USB Formatter...

The U30265-RV2 is a BenQ 1620. I received two of them on Thursday. As far as I can gather that's the only drive anyone has ever received in the PD model 30265 box from Staples.

Will a low profile AGP card work in full size slot? (Dell GX260 mini-tower)

I want to get a cheap AGP card for a Dell Optiplex GX260 mini-tower (the largest size case this model comes in). Will a low profile AGP work in a regular AGP card slot? Is the bracket end the same as on a full size card? I haven't been uple to turn up the answer with search.

DIM8400 PS2 mouse & keyboard failure

Thanks for the link PegLeg. It solved her problem. I didn't think it would because her keyboard appeared to be dead - no lights or any other response - but she tried it and it worked anyway.
