I had a problem with my 40GB 4th Generation iPod. It was giving me the sad iPod icon. I tried
restoring it to factory default but it wasn't even detected. So I opened up the iPod and tried
reseating all the cables. I wasn't paying attention and forced the hard drive cable in (I know,
stupid thing to do especially for me). I'm usually more careful, but now the extra "pin" (maybe
a ground) at the end is broken and stuck into the wrong side of the hard drive. I put it in the
correct way now minus that "ground" pin at the end (which is still stuck on the other si...

I decided CSS tutorials by me would be interesting. This is the first part of the tutorial, in
this, I will be posting some basic information on CSS Syntax, and of course a "Hello World" example
to get readers started on CSS. But first, a quick introduction. HTML Tags, like , , and , were
originally meant for showing content on a web page. Back in the days of pre-html 3.2, layouts were
dynamically made by the browser and contained nothing but a white background and centred text. Soon
though, owners of websites wanted to do the layout themselves. Soon, Internet Expl...

Have you tried this at home or in your Office? Have you tried rebooting your system at least
60 times over and over again just right after Power on, Self-Test without loading the OS. I have
tried this at home! and guess what a 'development' my PC achieved! I want you to try
it first, and share it to me and to the forum. Let's compare what you've observed. ...

Hi there, My voltages seem to be too high when I run some monitoring software. This also occured in

I found out the hard way twice before that Windows XP will have a fit if you change too many
critical components due to it's crappy piracy protection methods. The hardware I am upgrading is
the Motherboard, CPU and Video Card which will obviously make WinXP have a fit and refuse to boot
properly. I am wondering if anyone here knows a way around this? I don't much like the idea of
having to wipe the drive clean of everything and start new, re-configure, re-download, re-install,
repeat etc.... EDIT: Oh and incase it is important I am using Windows XP Home with Se...

I'll be setting up an IT lab here with about 30 computers for our school. IT lab may be a bit
misleading, it's more for children and young people who will use the computer for basic tasks
like Office, edutainment, games, and maybe some light graphics work. Think small projects in
photoshop. So i have several options, and i'm trying to strike a balance between economy and at
the same time getting something that won't be totally obsolete in a couple years. Also i would
like it to be upgradeable in the event that in the future, say a 3d graphics program star...

I am currently developing a program that I would like to protect from unauthorized users (copy
protection). The software itself is free but I want my users to register before they can use it.
Because the software is free, I can’t really use a third-party solution such as eSellerate because
they take payment as a percentage of sales (which is zero). I have played around with several ideas
but the one that keeps sticking is using the hard drive serial number as a basis for protection.
I’m not a big fan of this idea because I have been the victim of such schemes in the ...

Oops! I did it again. In case you may have been wondering why I was gone for so long
resulting in my hosting credits reach :blink -18 :blink... Well I blew one of the parts of my PCs
core system. Just for the record, this ain't the first time I did it. Previously, I caused a
burnt out processor when I tested my PC with the minimum components -> Motherboard , RAM & the
Processor - The Heatsink . It all happened while I was doing my fortnight PC cleaning (I kinda
like cleaning every bit of my PC regularly), I was almost done, when dad asked me to check o...

Alright... Since I'm starting to get a steady income of money (Even though it's very little
money right now) I figure I should upgrade my computer a bit... Since it's a new computer and
fairly bottom of the line... It's decent... but needs so much more stuff... I need more RAM,
that's the first thing I know, I can handle that on my own I do need a new video card, maybe a
new keyboard and mouse... Maybe a better webcam and mic... New speakers... Everything... Yes, we...

i was just browsing on ebay for pc bits and i came across offers like these: #1 #2 #3 could
someone explain to me what is going on with these pcs, possibly some experience of such sales. they
look like really good offers, basically postage for an unwanted pc - either take parts and scrap the
rest or run a few home servers. i would be interested. or do you think they are stolen. i cant
figure these out, either people have too much money basically throwing these away or there is some
scam. thanks...

Hi, I have been troubleshooting lots of Macs lately at my job (mostly iMacs) and want to make it
easier on me in future visits. The most common problem I've seen lately is a folder with a
question mark in it blinking. Great...it's a corrupted OS right? I tried reinstalling by
booting off the Mac CD. It won't boot from it. I tried swapping out the CD drive...then also
the hard drive when CD still won't boot from it. Still nothing. I brought it for in-house
repair and they guys over there said they repaired a "bad contact". Is it safe for me to assu...

Some of you might know about the situation about my computer. You know, the guy with the 4-year old
computer who talked about the BIOS upgrades, etc. Well, you will know. Anyway, my computer needs
urgent medical / hardware attention!! You guys all know how it feels when you get a brand
new computer, right? Well, right now, it feels really old. I have never formatted my disk until 3
years ago, I installed Windows XP Professional on my computer. Since then, I have been upgrading my
hardware, like getting better memory sticks, graphic driver cards, a new sound car...

Hello all. I recently bought a serial modem for use with my Linux installation, and thought I would
share the experiance. Now, I know that a lot of people have broadband now and don't really care
about modems, but I thought someone might get something out of this. I'll preface all of this
by telling you that I live only four miles from the largest city in my county (10,000 people). The
AT&T Transcontenental Fiber Backbone runs across the property I live on, and I know this for a fact
as my Father watched them install it, and the aforementioned city is currently ...

Hi ! I've been having some problems with my PC : It's powered by a P4 - 2.4C GHz
processor with 512 MB DDR RAM on an Intel 865 GBF motherboard. Of late, I've been getting
warnings regarding temperature going into the red zones. That prompted me to open up the cabinet and
perform maintenance and cleaning etc. Intel's Active Monitor which was installed from the
accompanying Driver CD notified me about this. This led me to a search for similar software and
I'd like opinions from users here. The most widely talked about monitoring software that I c...

Hey, I ran into a computer that a friend of mine had been hanging onto from an office he used to
work at. He couldn't get it to work and another friend of his that tried to get it to work could
not either. (btw, these are a few guys quite a bit older then me). Anyways, long story short, he
dropped it off to me after I did a bit of computer work for him at his house. So now I have a
computer that is most likely completely dead, but that I'd like to eitehr fix up or scrap and
salvage parts. My question is, how should I go about testing out the hardware of the co...

I share a wireless network with my family. Because i only bought ONE external wireless network
adapter (Compex), only one person gets to use at a time. The compex adapter worked PERFECTLY and
connected to my compex router with excellent speed (erm.. maybe because they're of the same
brand??) A few days back i bought an internal wireless adapter (linksys) and tried to get it
working on my computer so more than 2 people can surf the net at once. Unfortunately, it didn't
work out well for me. I fixed it up and everything went well. I started configuring its setting...
