How To Pro-long Your Laptop Battery Life
Hi there, I have a new laptop and i want to prolong my li-on battery life. I use the laptop as a Desktop computer more offten rather than mobile computer. I've decided to remove my battery which is a li-on battery. Here is how the removing works: Charge your battery on 100%, then discharge (to discharge it you must run your laptop on battery power) to about 45%-50%. Then remove the battery, after removing the battery is good to place something(paper,cotton...etc) in the placeholder of t
light a 2 pin bi-color LED and charge 3 capacitors (maybe 7 soon). On the LED, in one setup, it is green, when voltage is reversed, it is red. Point is, electricity can flow through it 2 ways. Due to this, everything is connected in parallel. I have a resistor connected in series to the ground pin, and a diode is connected in series to the V[sub]cc[/sub] supply. The LED can withstand the parallel ports' power and current. Here's my question. If I remove the diode, when electricity retur
Flipped Out, Flying, Mind Of Its Own Touchpad?!?!
Very recently I've upgraded my 5-6 year old Compaq laptop from XP to 7 (if there be any questions asked about RAM, I upgraded to 2GB). The new OS runs (for the most part) very smoothly...except one thing. The touchpad! Actually, it worked just fine until the Synaptics Touchpad V6.2 driver was automatically (re)installed on the new system. I've even tried messing with the sensitivity settings to no avail. Two things are actually happening. First, when I move the mouse, 1/5 of the ti

Computer Processors Comparison

Sata Hard Drive Not Recognized By Windows
Hi there! I recently re-installed windows on my 250 gb WD SATA hard drive. I had a 50 gb windows partition and the rest for files. First thing that happened was my system partition wouldn't boot and eventually chkdsk said that the mbr was unrecoverable. A friend recommended that i use a seperate parallel hard drive to load windows and then convert the disk to dynamic in disk management. I did this, but the computer crashed and now windows won't even load with the SATA hard drive con

When I overclocked my AMD Athlon 64 CPU I am only able to overclock it to atleast 2.30 GHz. Anything over that my system becomes unstable and fails to boot. My motherboard (for some reason) does not support the use of "Voltage Control" so I can't up my voltage for my CPU. My MSI K8NGM2 MS-7207G BIOS update is 1.60. Apparently this is the latest update for my BIOS. Is there any other way of getting over 2.3 GHz? Connecting Bridges: Is there a way to connect CPU bridges for an AMD

2 Way Dvi D Cable Or Dvd To Hdmi Cable ?
Hi, I have an LCD monitor (Samsung P2250), thats behaving oddly (shuts off itself at random for some reason). It has been supposedly fixed by Samsung (they changed the touch buttons and the VGA unit inside the Monitor). But its still showing the same problem.

Now while looking for the cables I saw two types of cable in the market (actually there are more than two types but I am co

What Does The Information On The Side Of A Capacitor Mean?
Is it the capacitance and max voltage, or capacitance and voltage no matter what the power supply voltage. Lets say the voltage on the side is 50v. If I connect a 9v battery to it, will the capacitor hold only 9v because that's what i'm giving it, or will it charge all the way to 50v?
Hello Trap17 I have some hard drive based questions which I hope you all can answer for me: let's start at number one. Number 1) I have a laptop it takes 2.5" hard drives, will any 2.5" hard drives do? At the moment for example I have a 250gb hard drive running at 5400rps. Could I replace it with a 2.5" 500gb hard drive running at 7200rps or are there certain limits that prevent this? I am assuming yes!

My card is for some reason only running at x1 speed, and it is causing tearing in my graphics while watching videos and stuff. Yesterday after a reboot it went up to

Doubt About Li-On Battery Life

I'm talking about battery maintanence. My netbook has a 6-cell battery and gives an average of 5 hours backup. I easily do 5 hours of computing daily so that means charging the battery daily. Is this going to affect its life? My second query is on how long I can use the netbook with the power cable - if using the po

A couple of weeks ago one of my friends downloaded and installed a key logger program from the internet and now I can't even get a command promt. It seems to be locked out entirely. Is there a way to regain controle of the machine. it happens to have removable hard drive racks,and the hard drive that is locked is win2k. the one he's using now is linux,which is still pretty much a learning curve for him.
I currently have a Compaq Presario F700 laptop. It runs on Windows Vista. I honestly love this laptop and everything about, the only problem is the overheating. It will frequently overheat and then just turn off. When I restart it, the time zone will be off and a bunch of other settings won't be the same. I tried getting one of the cooler pads to help solve the problem, but that really hasn't done much. Anybody have this laptop or any solution to this problem?

Is The Hp Mini 311 A Good Choice?
I've been wanting to replace my 8-year old PC with a brand new Desktop computer which is future proof. But in the time that I need to get my config ready, I decided to try using a netbook, just for fun. So I started researching into the netbook market and found that the users are spoilt for choice - there are a lot of models available and a lot of them have similar configs, sizes and everything else. So I simply went to CNET, and looked at the top 5 list of netbooks, and after Apple Macbook

Kingston Will Launch Cheap Ssd By February
SSD (solid state disks) are the craziest thing ever! Not only it will out perform your ordinary hard drive, when combined with a portable device like a laptop, it will extend the operation time. It can keep your laptop cooler and quieter. But, it's always been expensive. And with newer operation systems requiring 1,5,10GB of space, getting a large enough SSD with the price tag that wouldn't cost your arm and a leg would not have been possible. That is until today.

Hello I figure there is definitely someone out there who can answer my question. Anyways I just recently upgraded my ram from 1GB too 2GB (Crucial 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)) So I took out my two half GB's.

Hey Guys. Well the Processor in the Title is what I am getting, since I am not one of them Intel nubs like most of you are.

Crunchpad Is Dead And Something Else Might Come About
A while ago, I was anticipating the launch of small, personal web surfing device that is like iPod Touch but with bigger screen...let's say 10-12 inches.

Initially the developers of Crunchpad was aiming for around $200 USD. No way, you say? Well, prototypes were launched, YouTube has bunch of working final product and the we

How Good Of A Graphics Card Do I "need" ?
As much as I'd love to have a top of the line, high-end graphics card, I'm going to have to go with a budget model right now. How good of a card do I need to play most games, on low graphics settings? Any major difference between ATI and NVIDIA? I've been seeing a lot of ATI cards in mid-priced pre-built computers lately, mostly in the ATI 4650-70 area. Is something around that range adequate? Should I look for a similarly priced NVIDIA model instead? Or is it useless for games? I j
