Darn! I really like this Epson XP830 AIO. It is printing just fine, but now, suddenly, it will not scan sheets via its ADF. Even a single 8.5X11 sheet jams half-way thru the ADF on the top. Anyone else have/had this problem? If so, how did you deal with it? I should add that it scans single...

Happy New Year, My old Intel MOBO has accepted many upgrades but is stuck at 4GB RAM. Even though prohibited, Win10 works reliably on one stick SOCHOX 4GB 667MHz DDR2 AMD, the past couple of years. However, when two such modules are plugged in, Win10 boots until it panics and flashes a QR code...

Hi all. Before this thread goes cold, I'd still like to know : Has anyone tried using the Kensington Universal Multi-Display Adapter (https://www.kensington.com/en/ae/4524/k33974eu/universal-multidisplay-adapter) on a USB3 port of the docking station itself to add a 3rd monitor ? a) Would this...

Paul: WOW !! I thought somebody might reply, but you gave me a whole moderlode of info! Thanks a lot!! I sort of knew splitting a dual-link DVI into 2x HDMI's probably wouldn't work as they are different technologies and therefore use different signals/resolutions, but it was a nice idea... I'll...

Please help... I am in need of assistance to install XP after formatting with Lubuntu Gparted

The Optiplex 790 is running Windows 7 64 bit. I want to put a 1TB SSD, load Windows 10 64 bit on the SSD and make it the primary hard drive and the existing 500GB hard drive containing Windows 7 as the secondary. I watched the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmFbrBkauBc and estimate the...

The Optiplex is required to connect to three networks so we need to add two additional Network Interface Cards. The machine can support only 8GB maximum RAM from http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/optiplex_3010_technical_guidebook.pdf#page=11 It would be running Windows 10...

I have a 500VA Patriot (brand) UPS that has been working fine for many many years. I have a "mini" computer hooked to it, one that uses a "mini" PSU mounted above the CPU which is also used to cool the CPU. It is very loud, so I decided to re-case the machine and use a standard PSU and the...

Dell Inspiron about 6 yrars old. First startup or waking from sleep, in a given day, and the CD drive is "jazzed" up then coasts back down taking a couple of seconds. Makes no difference if the drive has a disk or not. In the paast I noted this only infrequently, about every month or so, but now...

I'm running an ATI HD7770 (with a QX9650 CPU) but the game I play is getting more and more complex. Also apparently it's better optimised for nVidia cards rather than ATI / AMD. So I need an affordable card that doesn't draw (much) more power than the HD7770 (~120w). Obviously it should be...

Hi, I have a Microsoft SS software RAID with two hard drives. Now CrystalDiskInfo says the raw count for Reallocated Sectors Count is 2 on one HDD. I like to get some lead time so I can purchase a cheap 480 GB SSD on eBay. How bad it is it? Should I wait for the count to increase before I...

I have inherited a HP PC 2026 that is working great even with W10. But it seems to have a keyboard problem that I do not know how to overcome. When I boot up, I see 'keyboard error' flash on the screen at the start of boot. Other than that the keyboard works fine when W10 is up and running. ...

I've just junked yet another inkjet printer for parts (PSU mainly) and, as with the last one I see that there is more ink in the silicone tubes that go to the waste sponge and dried into the sponge itself than ever went onto paper during the ~2 years and ~3 sets of carts. How do they get away...

M$ mouse was never very smooth and sometimes would hang and then jump forward. Very annoying. Someone suggested I try a Logitech and wow what a difference. Smooth, responsive and precise !

I notice high-end soundbars now offer internet. Can someone offer an insight into how that would be worth the extra money, and how used? MrT

We got two HPZ210 small form factor https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-z210-small-form-factor-workstation/5053190/manuals computers from another area, but they don't have a hard disk as well as the data and power cables which connect to them. 1. Can an SSD like...

I looked at the specs http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Lenovo%20Laptops/Lenovo%20G50/Lenovo_G50_Platform_Specifications.pdf and it mentions SSHD with 8GB NAND flash memory. 1. Will any 2.5inch SSD work with the Lenovo 50-45 model 80E30181US laptop? 2. Is any brand like Western Digital...

My buddy needs a new laptop, his is over 6 yrs old, runs out of RAM and slows down often, and crashes when more than 2GB RAM is installed! A computer shop spent 2 hrs with him trying to install more RAM, then get it working again when it crashed each time. Due to its age we think it's smart to...
