    I PAD 2 or other tablet

    Yes the iPad will just end up using your phones data allowance. You then would not need the 3G iPad. Note though you only get gps on the 3G iPad which only matters if you want to use the iPad for satnav.

    I PAD 2 or other tablet

    You have the motorola atrix phone? It has 3G mobile hotspot as one of it's features so you can use it. http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/GB-EN/Consumer-Products-and-Services/Mobile-Phones/ci.Motorola-ATRIX-GB-EN.alt You just turn it on and it appears like a wireless access point the iPad can...

    Samsung LE23T52B capacitors AC or DC?

    PMSL ottosump, you have been here a while so I am sure you know about mickmoody. He does make a valid point about the 400v capacitor. You will want to leave the tv unplugged for a few hours just to make sure the capacitor has discharged before working on the psu. Just to clarify a couple...

    How to copy dvd films

    The only free software I know of that can read copy protected DVDs is makemkv but that's designed to take a film and convert it to a mkv file so it can be played by many media players. You could probably convert it back to a DVD and write it using other free software but that's a more lengthy...

    How to copy dvd films

    Anydvd is very good. DVD shrink is free and I have used it before and it works well. If you want something really easy to use then look at the other slysoft software as they do a dvd copier aswell.

    I PAD 2 or other tablet

    I guess you did. That price is standard so no special discounts http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/ipad/ipad-buytwo.jsp The other option would be to buy the iPad outright and get a £10/month O2 contract. Total cost comes out about the same and O2 recently came out best for overall 3G...

    I PAD 2 or other tablet

    Yes there are a lot of android apps but there are few tablet specific versions. They will of course work fine on a tablet but often things like text sizing is set so that is readable on a small screen so on a tablet the screen space is not so effectively used. I have an android phone myself...

    I PAD 2 or other tablet

    It depends what you want to do with it. If you just want basic web and the common applications then go with a cheaper android device. The iPad has a better range of apps so if you want to do things more advanced then it might be better.

    Samsung LE23T52B capacitors AC or DC?

    You are fine using a higher voltage capacitor and chances are it will be better although as they are normally larger you need to make sure they can still physically fit in the space. Virtually all of these types of capacitors are dc. Bipolar (ac) are a specific type. Just make sure the ones you...

    Pocket Autorange Multimeter

    How about this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-3534-Multi-Meter-Tester/dp/B0012MCUVM/?tag=gbnetser-21 A little cheaper than the marlin one and a better ac voltage range and comes with a temperature probe aswell.

    Pocket Autorange Multimeter

    Looks good for the price but the 200mA max current is a bit limiting.

    IPAD or LAPTOP?

    I normally use 'makemkv' to convert a dvd to a .mkv file and then use handbrake to convert the file to the ipad format. Both bits of software are free.

    Best way to back up bootable CD

    Doing a straight cd copy would be the safer option. If you do it the other way its much easier to make a mistake and you will have to check the cd afterwards. Doing a straight cd copy you can use the built in nero verify which is much easier.

    Renault and the Diesel/Petrol decision

    They cut down on emissions which means lower road tax but thats about it really. They are only really suitable if you do a lot of driving and regularly go on motorways.

    Lost display on Acer Aspire 5338

    It sounds like the LED backlight has failed. It might be a broken contact that you could repair if you know what you are doing. You might be able to get a new backlight or a whole new screen depending on how its constructed.

    Renault and the Diesel/Petrol decision

    Do the diesels have a DPF? If you are doing mostly 4 mile journeys and dont take it on a motorway run at least every couple of weeks then its probably not suited to that type of driving.
