Electronically the device becomes a brick. It's just a box , It won't turn on, the software is damaged, or there is an error in the system. So... you can use it as a door stop if you want because other than that it wont do anything except take up space.

Should i remove my harddrive before recycling my computer?

depends on several factors- 1) if there is any data on that harddrive you need, TAKE OUT THE HARDDRIVE. 2) if the harddrive is less than 120 GB, and the above is not true, GET RID OF IT. 3) if the harddrive is working, and number 2 is NOT true, KEEP IT. A working harddrive of decent size is always helpful to have around.

What is 15.0 GB available HD space?

A gigabyte is equal to exactly 1024 Megabytes. So basically a Harddrive is the part of a computer where the data is stored (for example: Music, Photos, Videos, etc.) With 15 Gigabytes of disk space you can store about maybe 5 movies or 20 videos or 2,200 text files on your computer and keep them saved. So if you need to store more than that if you are using a mac and have FileVault on you can turn it off and have a lot more Harddrive space by going to: Apple >System Preferences >Security >FileVault >Turn Off FileVault...

What is a cached page?

simply a cached page is like a page stored in faster memory rather than on hard disk. www.heightz.blogspot.com A cached page doesn't have to be in memory, a cached page can simply mean that the majority of the content on the page is stored on your harddrive for faster retreival. If you visit a website a lot, chances are that your browser will keep some of the images, etc. cached on your harddisk so it doesn't have to download the content over again.
