I disagree with both monkeh and efc at times but it's all just an opinion and there's a mutual respect (I think). For example I'd say that a compromised system should almost always be reinstated to a known good point else a rebuild would be required. That would be for *nix systems and for...

Your ram module should be ok with a fsb set at 133. I assume youre not getting the synch error on boot anymore? At which point does the install freeze? Is it a hard lockup? Do you get a kernel panic message?

In the bios make sure the FSB is set to 133 and the multiplier to Auto (should be 12.5x), if not change the settings to this

Anyone coming the wrong side of a capacitor on a CRT/tv can count themselves lucky to be alive. I never strip a CRT/tv down anymore. The cost of replacement LCD tech outweighs my cost of risk to life. My shorting of the hv suction cups on crts us thankfully over.

Of what ? A potential 12v dc shock ? I assume you are then earth strapped in which case my r.a. ( risk assessment) woul indicate there is a far greater danger of touching a live connection elsewhere and the earthing strap burning my wrist a least and killing me at most. People under...

That's the motor run/start capacitor btw. My multimeter read 0v at +/-v input. Shame i didn't read it at the capacitor. As monkeh says the r.a. On atx would be , end result, it's perfectly safe to work on the inside and the safe side of 12vdc transformer Your electrician is working...

Upscale it, remove power to your tumble dryer. Now remove cases and touch the capacitor. There's a number of places to achieve this. I don't recommend you do this btw as I worked out the hard way what capacitors do in a "no power" scenario 415v at 8uf is enough of a poke thanks

I hate to agree with monkeh but he's right. I only stated to remove power as I've had some strange issues with cappacitance loads on a motherboard with a psu plugged in. the earthing benefits of it being plugged in is normally reason enough. The op needed to reset the CMOS and this is the...

And so is Solaris, HP-UX, AIX. I'm not too sure I'd knock any of those (well maybe Solaris) ;) I'm still winning this based on the Windows-ME devil-spawn. Well thats what I'd like to think. :( edit:sco unix as well *shudder*

Whilst we are hijacking this. The irony when Windows ME has been mentioned in the OP ;) Even DBAN isnt enough to remove that scourge! After an ME install, only thermite would be sufficient to remove all traces of that godforsaken OS! Im not totally Apple, Ok I have mac book air...

Sorry Sir, It won't happen again Sir, A bigger boy made me do it Sir.

I like to be thorough , my A7N8X was a strange beast ;) At least you're certain theres no power to the CMOS (short of taking a hammer to it) You'll be pleased to know Monkeh, that I questioned my renegade action of removing the power lead and thus the simple act of erthing by touching the...

[/url] As an Apple developer I can comment on the following 1. ios5, nothing major Im afraid, the social communication accounts is nice (twitter, facebook etc now integrated) as is iCloud (see below). Wifi Synch with itunes is also a good idea but would appear to be ripped off from a...

Locate the cmos battery and remove (I think the MSI KT4V has a removable CR2302 battery). Then pull all power to the base unit (ie the kettle lead to the psu). Locate the cmos reset jumper...

I hope its 10mm² cable and not 6mm² :/ Depending on cable run, clipped, free, conduit, insulation etc.

Just a note that MobileMe for the iPhone is now end of life, its replaced by iCloud. MobileMe users get another 1 year free MobileMe use until July next year to help them transition. If you are part of a corporation then a blackberry is probably your best bet, else the iPhone (iOS) or the...

8P8C, RJ-45 was a telecom standard which used 8P2C ie 8 positions, 2 conductors as opposed to network 8 position 8 conductors.

Sorry :) Ok in simple terms Your external USB HD (Hard drive) is simply either 1) A laptop HD or 2) A desktop HD Put inside a plastic case with an interface to allow the drive to talk to the computer Now quite often this interface dies. But the drive itself is ok. So the...

If the drive itself hasn't died and it's just the USB interface then you can just remove the drive from it's enclosure and use a USB to ide or USB to sata cable (amazon have lots of options) If the drive or drive inboard controller has died then it's more of an issue. You can simetime...
