Asus 1201HAB will not power up/charge

My son has an Asus 1201HAB netbook that he uses for 6th grade schoolwork. Unfortunately, it is currently out of commission because the battery has run down and it will not power up through the AC power supply. I ordered a new power supply, thinking perhaps the original had "gone bad," but we...

Notebook RAM upgrade gone wrong?

Thanks for the additional posts; it's reassuring to see somebody else replicated the same problem with this model laptop and that maybe it's not just me being a dolt! My 3003WLCI came with Hynix memory, so does that mean that 1GB Hynix sticks would definitely work? I've also heard that Crucial...

Notebook RAM upgrade gone wrong?

I have an Acer Aspire 3009WLCI (essentially a rebadged 3003WLCI) that came with 512 (2 x 256) PC2700 SODIMM RAM. I decided to upgrade the memory when Best Buy put PNY Optima PC2700 1GB SODIMM RAM on sale this week, bought 2 sticks. The PNY configurator told me beforehand that this RAM (retail...

HOT: JBL Studio S36IIPM speakers $149/pair (UPDATE: S36II $129/pair Best Buy B&M) ***CHECK EMAIL FOR $50 GC***

Excellent! Seems to me, after checking out the S36II and S36IIPM speakers I got my grubby little hands on today, and after much hunting for info on the web, including at the JBL web site, where you can find product pages for both items, that these are the same exact speakers, just with different...

HOT: JBL Studio S36IIPM speakers $149/pair (UPDATE: S36II $129/pair Best Buy B&M) ***CHECK EMAIL FOR $50 GC***

SHAZAM! Went back to my local Best Buy at lunchtime, had a blue-shirt pull down one of the 2 S36II boxes up on the top stock shelf, then noticed that the other one up there appeared to have BB packaging tape holding it shut, so I asked if it might be an open-box item. They pulled it down, and it...

I did find a review of the S36 (not the S36II, though -- this review is for the predecessor) speakers via HTF: JBL S36 review Not sure how helpful that is, although the S36II is apparently just an improved version of the S36. Edit: Got my shipping confirmation with UPS tracking info.

I haven't seen pro reviews of the S36II speakers, just user reviews. I'd suggest you visit AVS Forums and Home Theater Forum for more info on these, do searches in the speaker forums there. Lots of knowledgeable people both places. After hunting around for info on these, seems like they are...

If you have problems finding the S-center, which it seems you may, then you might consider also using an S36IIPM as a center; the JBL press release for these speakers specifically stated that it can be used effectively that way. I also saw where a knowledgeable member over at HTF recommended...

Yes, you can use these in a 5/6/7/.1 home theater setup, they'll work just fine with your receiver. Mixing the JBL sound with the Bose sound may not be something you want to do long-term, as each brand, and even different lines within a given brand, can have a unique characteristic tonal...

Yes, they are silver, and they are not the AW version ("All Weather") of S36II that JBL makes. This is the PM version (Plasma Monitor) of S36II that is designed to be used with .... plasma monitors! Heh. Anyway, JBL states that these can be used outside, do have some weather resistant...

I really think that's a Best Buy typo/error, somebody there just eyeing the picture of the speakers and creating a description. The S36IIPM *only* comes in silver. The S36AWII (all-weather version, not sold by Best Buy) is a lighter color. Maybe somebody there went to the wrong product page at...

I almost bought these when the OP had them at $200, so it was a no-brainer for me when SSLB updated the price at $150. Thanks for the update! I hope these will make nice surrounds to go with my new Infinity Alpha 50 fronts and Sony SA-WM40 sub. I currently have a JBL ARC center but plan to...

Onkyo SKS-HT510 6.1 Home Theatre Speaker Setup: $200 Shipped

Yes, those threads are both about receivers. This thread is about speakers. Maybe he has the 510 receiver that Onkyo matches up with these speakers in their home theater package. I've seen that sold separately.

I *think* that the PM at CC will net you an extra $20 off, not $50, as they're selling it for $699.99. Still a good deal, just don't want you to get there and think they're screwing up the PM.

DVD Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl 2 Disc Collectors Edition. $14.99 or $15.99

Yes, it's the same version, the only version out. WM has gotten pretty good in many areas at beating the lowest advertised price. Target had it for $14.99, so your WM, like mine ($14.07) and many others, undercut them a little. They've just let it at that price even though the other retailers'...

Yeah, it's been there at that price off and on for a couple/few months now; problem is that the refurb doesn't come with any accessories, including the remote. Not a problem for some, including perhaps current AIW owners looking to upgrade, and the remote can be found separately, but that bumps...

Worth it to get the nforce 2 ultra over standard?

Seems like the nforce 2 ultra boards are generally faster and have more/newer features than the non-ultra boards. I would think that $12 is definitely going to serve you better on the motherboard than on the mem, where I don't think $12 will make much of a difference, if any, in the...
