  1. Help! Laptop wont power on!

    Finally got the part (new power jack) and got around to fixing the computer. (part took almost two weeks, regular mail from hong kong) Had a buddy who knows how to use a soldering iron replace the power jack on the daughter board. Reassembled and now the computer just blinks (power button led...

  2. Help! Laptop wont power on!

    You're probably right. I have fixed computers that were pretty FUBARed before but never did any manual repairs to PCBs. I suppose I could break down the laptop and remove the daughter board that the power port is attached to and just bring that to a shop and have them solder the port then put...

  3. Help! Laptop wont power on!

    Nope, I have two compatible power bricks. One came with the ASUS laptop the other is from an old gateway but they both have the same specs/plug. Neither gets hot, symptoms are the same with either. Answered my own question from my previous post. Looks like I need to learn basic soldering and...

  4. Help! Laptop wont power on!

    After further testing this is definitely a power problem and not related to other components. After leaving the laptop alone and plugged in for awhile (almost 24hr) it did power on and we were able to use it normally for a couple nights. We left it plugged in most of the time but I did briefly...

  5. Help! Laptop wont power on!

    Thank you for your reply. Since I made my original post the "plugged in" LED only comes on amber, it was green before. So I'm guessing you are correct. I will order the new plug and see what happens.

  6. Help! Laptop wont power on!

    I have an ASUS K52F, a little over two years old. It was used last night with no issues. This morning it wont power up. When plugged in the corresponding LED on the front lights up. When the power button is pressed the LED on the power button lights up, the "lightbulb" LED on the front...

  7. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    Thanks, I've always been reasonably good at problem solving in general not just tech stuff. Like if there is a problem with my car and the mechanic cant quite pin it down usually I can ask him the basics of how the part works and then say something like, well why don't you try x? I...

  8. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    Typing this from the rebuilt rig. Post above duly noted, despite my success the remaining parts could have had their operational life reduced. Windows repair installation couldn't figure out which way was up. Googled around and ended up having to load the drivers for the new motherboard...

  9. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    The three dead input devices and the printer were all plugged in the back. While waiting for my keyboard I spent last night finishing up the physical build. Installed radeon and tv tuner card and the machine still booted and everything seems to be fine so far, though I didn't leave it on long...

  10. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    She's breathing again! Installed new mobo, and all old parts. Left out the gpu and tvtuner card for now. System fired right up and started to load windows. Different mobo / chipset so windows of course went WTF and started a repair installation. So now it should just be a matter of getting...

  11. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    The printer doesn't take its power from USB, maybe that helped? New motherboard should be here late tomorrow. Got the multimeter today and I will test the PSU tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Worst case I'll have learned a lesson and get to have fun shopping for a new build. EDIT: 11.9, 5.2...

  12. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    Thank you for your responses lakedude they have been very helpful. Only other system in the household is a laptop. The ps2 controller mouse and keyboard are all shot. When plugged into my wifes laptop the ps2 controller does the same perpetual vibrating thing. The wireless keyboard receiver...

  13. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    I'm not going to pay for labor to diagnose a 4 year old build and like the post above noted even a pro would just be swapping parts. Using a paperclip to complete a circuit on the main atx connector I was able to dupe the power supply into thinking it was plugged into a functioning...

  14. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    This is what I am going to do. One of the fans on the PSU has been grinding on and off for awhile now so I was planning on replacing it anyway. If I can find a dirt cheap mobo that is compatible with my current components I may try just replacing that first. Somebody above asked about the PSU...

  15. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    He is very sorry. He is 3 and has said nothing but "oh no daddy pooter isa bo-ken!" "howee fixit?" and so on.

  16. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    Yeah circuit breaker is fine other things plugged into the same power strip are fine. Im having trouble imagining how an ac surge from a USB port would cook a PSU maybe im not thinking about it correctly. Haha, just noticed there are little melted holes in the carpet where no doubt little...

  17. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    Just finished dissecting my rig and spreading the parts out. There is no visual damage to any parts. In fact I've forgotten which USB port the cable was plugged into and can not tell the difference between one port and the next. There is a black burn mark on the socket in the wall and the tip...

  18. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    Thank you for the responses. I didn't know that plugging a damaged CPU into a new motherboard could actually damage the new board. Would there be any risk plugging the hard drive into a new motherboard? Obviously I would like to recover some files off of it. {Edit thanks post above for...

  19. Help! My son nuked my computer :(

    He took a usb cable that was attached to the rear of the motherboard and plugged it into an oversized power outlet designed for an AC unit. The outlet was partially obscured by my desk and I never used it, totally forgot it was there. I'm very lucky my son didn't get hurt. A big spark and...

  20. Digital signal problems

    I'm having a problem receiving digital channels on my HDTV. On digital channels the picture freeze/pixellates/stutters with what looks like classic weak signal to me. The TV's menu is showing that the channel signal is erratic. Everything else on the TV works perfectly. Problem is I've...

  21. Dual display issues

    Gave up on the HDMI connection. Got a DVI to VGA cable. (this TV has a D-sub connector but no DVI). Now it works fine but if I set the refresh rate over 60hz the tv goes black. My main monitor wont run its native res at anything other than 75 hz. So to get the duplication of display that I...

  22. Dual display issues

    I'm using an ATI 4850 with VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs. My monitor is an older VGA only LCD. I would like to use my HDTV as a second display. (All I want is a cloned display, don't care about desktop stretching.) I had this setup working fine with an 8800gt using a component output to the tv...

  23. Would you like to see Matrox back in gaming?

    I had a 2mb s3 virge integrated on my p133 system from 1995 or so. It came with a version of mechwarrior 2 which was "optimized" for the virge. My god it ran slow and looked awful. I remember getting my diamond voodoo 1 card, which had the 3dfx optimized version of mechwarrior 2 bundled...

  24. So, there's no way I can OC my processor?

    I was able to successfully overclock my q6600 g0 from 2.4 to 3.0 by covering a pin with a 1mm square piece of electrical tape. This was in a Gateway computer with a mobo/BIOS that did not allow any sort of overclocking. I couldn't believe it worked.

  25. cheap gaming CPU's, wich is best?

    I'd strongly suggest using the bench feature on this site instead of synthetic benchmarks like passmark. Sounds about right.

  26. cheap gaming CPU's, wich is best?

    I'll second khons opinion. the i3-530 is the fastest one you listed, its ~115 bucks. The X3 445 is the best buy under $100, should be about $85 I think. I disagree with SP12, the X3 445 is a fine chip if you are on a very tight budget. Whats the resolution on your screen? If its fairly high...

  27. Required Power supply for ATI 5770

    For the whole system maybe, not just the videocard.

  28. Required Power supply for ATI 5770

    nah "ATI rates the Radeon HD 5770 for 18W of power consumption at idle and 108W maximum board power at load. The Radeon HD 5750 is even lower at 16W idle and 86W under load."

  29. Best bang for the buck gaming card?

    This deal might have expired by now - I picked it up last week. 4850 512 with GDDR5 for 71 dollars shipped, preposterously good deal.

  30. Required Power supply for ATI 5770

    You should be fine with a mid-range card and a 460w PSU. More info about your PSU would be helpful to make a definite recommendation. There should be a sticker on the side with info about how many AMPs at different voltage levels.

  31. 4850 w/GDDR5

    Been messing around with this new card for most of the day. After some tinkering 750/900 doesn't seem possible by just playing with the sliders in the catalyst control center. May be possible by upping the voltage suggested by the post above with a more detailed overclocking tool. Something...

  32. 4850 w/GDDR5

    Thanks for the tip. After running the benchmark and some googling I was able to find comparable results. Looks like my 4850 512 with GDDR5 @ stock speeds (625/750) equals a standard 4850 512 GDDR3 with a decent overclock (700/1000). Not too bad, I'll have to try overclocking it and see if I...

  33. 4850 w/GDDR5

    I recently purchased this card, I'm interested in benchmarking it to see where if falls between a standard 4850 and a 4870. Can anybody suggest a benchmark that isn't CPU limited and can give me an apples to apples comparison? and/or let me know what type of scores I should be looking for...

  34. Post your Fritz Chess Benchmark Results

    8728 Kilo nodes 18.18 relative speed. Q6600 G0 @ ~3339 (371x9) 4Gb DDR2 ram, on an ASRock P45XE. I forget what my ram timings are, nothing special if i recall.

  35. What's best AMD for general use?

    This chart here shows the X6 processors outperforming the X4s at applying a buncha filters to a TIF image in Photoshop. So long as the program is sufficiently multi-threaded multiple cores should beat higher clocks. And yeah holabr if you are running a bunch of single threaded apps the...

  36. PC2700 memory config

    Aha, now we got all the details - sounds like a cool project! I love playing around with emulators. Anyway I think the above advice still stands, just add some pc2700. A gig would be nice but 768 without the dual channel should be sufficient.

  37. Best Quality/Most Reliable Hardrive?

    I've had power supplies fail, motherboards fail, graphics cards burn out and faulty RAM but in all my years of using PCs I've never had a hard drive go bad - maybe I'm just lucky. That being said most of my hard drives were Seagate or Western Digital. Last I checked my 40 MB seagate drive from...

  38. PC2700 memory config

    Like others said I wouldn't sweat the details of dual channel or not, just stick in more compatible ram. I'd assume you're running XP, you should see a world of difference going from 256meg to 768 or 1 gig. I noticed you said you "need" to upgrade. Is there a specific program or application...

  39. What's best AMD for general use?

    If your primary workload is photo work you may want to check if your photo editing software is optimized for six cores. If it is get the X6 otherwise get the X4. All of those chips are overkill for office apps/surfing, none of them are overkill for gaming/video editing. The X4 chips will be...

  40. Dead 8800gt?

    You guys are starting to convince me to try baking it. Even though I've already got a replacement on the way my brother in law could use it, he's still using an 8600GT - on a high native res monitor, scary. In other news the 4850 with gddr5 memory is already sold out from Newegg, less than 24...
