Hi all My ADSL modum died on me , to be more acurate it was the power button the one for on and off so instead of getting a new one or getting it replaced by my service provider I opened it and hard wired it to always on. it was a simple enough operation of soldering a link and it works just...

Please help! I tried to upgrade the ram and did not seat it well. now the putor don't work. Did I fry the CPU or the motherBoard? Can I just find the wires from the power supply to the electronic switch on the motherboard and short them or add a normally on switch. I realise it would cause...

OK, here's another one. My mother board will only support 266FSB however I have updated the BIOS. I have previously asked what would be better, a used Athlon Socket A, or a new Duron Socket A. But, I notice I can get a Sempron socket A for ten dollars more. The sempron is a 333 FSB however. Can...

I've got three Compaq AA03631AC6 drives that I've tried installing Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro on. Every time it goes to format, it halts on a file and asks me to keep trying or skip the file, usually the same files, though a bit different with each attempt. I've put it on an Adaptec's AHA-2940U2W...

I can't get my LCD to dim. The Fn F6/F7 seem to have no effect. It is definitely NOT the LCD itself, or the cables (I have swapped the lid and the fault stays with the base) Seems a strange one as the picture is excellent - but it eats the batteries unnecessarily fast Thanks David

I have a GigaByte GA-K8NXP-9 motherboard with two ATA discs in a RAID-0 configuration running BIOS version F4. The other day I ran the manufacturer supplied iTune application that can be used to update the BIOS version as my supplied version was out of date. I saved version F4 to the hard drive....
