My wife's laptop no longer displays an image on the LCD. It started about a month ago. She turned it on and Win98se booted normally, POST data showing. Within a few seconds of reaching the desktop a small white blob emerged in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It quickly spread...
Thanks for all the replies. The resistor chart I was using didn't have a choice for silver on the third band, so I mistakenly thought it was gray. The bands are brown black silver and gold. I'll go back to the parts store tomorrow and get the .1 Ohm resistors I need.
I recently purchased a broken Soundstream Granite 110.2 amp off of eBay as a project. I'm having trouble locating the correct replacement resistors. Please view the image and confirm that these are in fact 1000MOhm 2W 5% resistors. My local electronic part stores are unable to locate any with...
I tried returning a Sylvania 17" monitor I bought there just under 5 years ago today. It started getting a little flaky a few years ago. At random times the entire screen will black out, almost like it has a loose connection. Each time it does this it only last a half second or so, just...
The switch and it's diagram appear to have been originally designed for automotive use - the reference to a battery or fuse box gives it away. It's fine to use the switch in a PC, but the retailer should have made an updated wiring schematic. The easiest way to wire it would be to locate a...
Upgrade completed. The Sempron 2400+ is purring along with the MSI board and 9600XT video card. I found a stick of Kingston ValueRAM PC2700 512MB on sale at Staples and popped it in next to the module he already had. System is now very responsive. He's using a cheap 15" LCD set to 800x600x32...
The constant 12V lead on a car stereo is to keep radio station presets and audio settings intact. As mentioned earlier you'd probably want to use a seperate "always on" power supply to keep the system's memory working. As others have also already pointed out, car speakers are unshielded. Hard...
Thanks. I should have mentioned that this is his home system. Agreed that the 1.5 Gigs of RAM is a bit much for him. The upgrade came about when he found he couldn't play Far Cry. We already replaced his GF2 MX400 64MB with a ATi 9600XT 256MB, wiped the HDD and installed XP fresh. Big...
Thanks for the replies.
He's already got a stick of PC2700 512MB of unknown brand. We're adding a pair of Kingston PC3200 512MB sticks. Still undecided if we should run the 1.5GB of ram at 2700 speed or ditch the slower module and run the new stuff at 3200. Opinions?
Also saw the Fry's...
I've built dozens of Intel systems over the years, but only a few AMD rigs. My boss has asked me to help upgrade his PC. Currently he's running a MSI KT3 Ultra mobo with a 1.2GHz Athlon. The MSI website states this board will support 2200+ and up processors. A search on Newegg for Socket A...
CircuitCity.com shows two subwoofer mono amplifiers at $199. As mentioned earlier, all the Alpine equipment listed on the site is only available for in store pickup. I added both models to my cart and then started the checkout process to find if any of my local stores had either in stock. All...
A quick Google search turned up this review of the non-LCD model, and a list of online retailers in the UK that sell them. Nice case, hope Newegg picks them up soon.
Search eBay for "humidor supreme 100" (no quotes) and you will find a very nice model. Paid just under $50 for mine, including shipping. That's about half of what they sell for in my local cigar shop.
Thanks DKim81 for the heads up. Got mine from Radio Shack and it's working fine. Perfect...
