1. Power supply connected to new Cabinet - how lon...

2. How long does it take for BT Engineer to install new phone socket once order placed?
3. Has anyone tried the Billion BiAPC 8200N. I'm happy with the Hub 3 and expect the VDSL2 modem from BT to be OK. But a one box solution with 300Mpbs WLAN might be better.
4. Finally does anyone here use Windows Home Server to stream content via DLNA and to do backups. A server has many advantages over a Laptop. Not least of all potentially massive storage. I think a WHS would fit in well with my PC, Xbox 360, Android phone setup.

1. Your guess is as good as any.
2. Usualy 7 days.
3. I believe so, search the forums.
4. Yes I have the readyNAS duo setup, works great via my two smart TV's.

  • Can I use the old power supply with the new unit?

    I have a second generation Apple TV. When I install the new unit next week can I use the old power supply with the new one and the new power supply with the old one? This would save some messing with cords behind the units.

    Hello:
    I would definitely not try that.....  The power supplies may be compatible - or may not be compatible.  I think messing with cables is a small price to pay for not potentially frying a new device.

  • Upgrading graphics card & power supply in a new P6674y

    I just purchased a new Hp 6674y computer and wanted to upgrade the video card.  Reading here on the forums I got some good ideas for video cards for comparable computers to mine and also found out the power supply is going to need to be upgraded also.  My question is, can anyone tell me if there is a specific size, type or model of power supply that my particular model MUST use?  Or can I get a "standard" ATX 12v 600w or so, and replace it.  Also will an EVGA Nvidia GTX 460 graphics card fit into this case?  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi,
    A standard size ATX will fit.  I am using the GTX 460 1 GB in one of my PCs (e9280t) which has nearly the same cabinet as your PC.  I bought a Corsair HX 650 but there are other choices.

    You should open up your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your power supply.  Here is a list of things to consider:
    Specifications
    Total wattage - important
    12+ volt amperage rating - important
    Modular - not mandatory but I like the flexibility
    Warranty
    i7 and SLI ready
    Efficiency rating
    Cost
    Physical size -- standard ATX PSU is 5.5" by 5.9" by 3.4" give or take a few tenths
    www.newegg.com has lots of PSUs choices.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake.....

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI power supply connection

    I was wondering if the power connection type to the motherboard mattered.  Does it need to be a 24 pin connection like what is on the board or would just a 20 pin connection, possibly with the other 4 pin connection along side it, be efficient at powering this board?

    Hi,
    I've notices that loads of people have an issue with power supply & SLI systems (AMD 64). It seems there is no ideal solution yet 
    Actually there are very good solutions, but many don't purchase the correct power supply at the time of the pruchase of their SLI motherboard.    Same problem occured with users transitioning to Pentium III processors and the use of the old 250 Watt power supplies.
    We just like to hold onto our parts as long as possible.    Going with one of the supplies listed on http://www.SLIZONE.com will usually be a safe bet.
    As to using the 20 pin connection instead of the 24pin, many have reported that it works.   The additional pins are providing better amp support to the parts that need it, so I would consider a 20 pin without an adapter temporary.   For a $7.00 part fix, it's worth it.
    The point is that the copper traces on the motherboard may eventually fail if there is significant current demands and only the 20 pin is used, hasn't happened yet, but it's possible.   The gauge wire used for the PSU though is more than sufficient in comparision, so that's why an adapter will help protect your motherboard investment.

  • P35 Neo2 FR Power supply connection

    Hello,
    Can you use a 4 pin power supply on the 8 pin connector to power the board? And if yes what is the orientation of the plug to the socket.
    Thanks.

     Yes. Without undo force it should only fit one way and lock in. The plug has a latch on it and the socket on the MB has a tab for it to lock onto. MB should have had a small bar blocking off the lower half of the 8 pin socket.

  • No power. Power supply connected and green live shows current. photosmart c310.

    This barely used piece of crap lost all its power shortly after warranty expired.  This is evidently a common problem as there are all kinds of mention of it on the web. It was evident before I bought this thing.  Only solution by HP is to buy power supply for $16.50 and spend $11 to have it shipped.   I don't even know if this will correct problem.  Would like to hear from someone who has solved this problem.

    OK, if you plug the printer in and it does not power up with no lights, it could be the power supply.  If you change the power supply and you have the same problem, the printer is defective and you need to have it serviced.

  • MX922 is refusing to power off, connect to network. How to move back to USB?

    My MX922 is being a royal pain in the butt. It's only a couple of months old, but it's the first Canon printer I've had in a decade that hasn't been great from the start.
    It takes forever to shutdown (more than a day right now).
    how can I reset it to the factory defaults? I'd rather shut off the wireless support completely (since it doesn't work worth a darn) and just use USB, but I dont' see how to do that.
    Thanks
    Scott

    Sometimes wireless signals can interfere with the printer (especially connected wirelessly). Try powering off your router and power cycling the printer (unplug if need be). Turn printer back on with the router still turned off. Then, you should be able to reset the settings on the printer. On the printer, press Menu > Device Settings > Reset Setting > Reset All. Should be fine from here to power back on your router. Then, you can just connect the cable to your PC and should be able to print.

  • Power supply connection problems

    I have an HP Compaq 6715b and have gone through several power supplies - it does not take long before I lose connection between the male/female connection. I try to be gentle but this keeps happening, what is the problem? Is there a problem at the female end (inside the computer)? Would a docking station solve the problem? It seems to be an expensive solution jjust to get power.
    Thanks
    Greg

    What is rating of the AC Adapter you got?
    Based on the specification, you should be using a 90W AC Adapter such as 463955-001.
    If you were using a 65W AC Adapter, then it is likely the 65W AC Adapter were running too hot and in turn cut down the life expectancy of this 65W AC Adapter.
    If you were using a 90W AC Adapter, I think you are just unlucky to get some of the bad units.
    Yes. A Docking will help. It is because it uses a 135W AC Adapter to the docking station and your laptop will get power via the docking connector at the bottom of your notebook.
    However, there are so many type of HP docking stations and you need to make sure to order one for your notebook.

  • How can i add to PXI-1044 a new Power Supply

    Hi everbody. I have a PXI-1044 chassis and i want to replace its power supply with a new one because of i have no 220 AC main to supply the 1044 at the working area.
    So that i kindly request to be answered this question whether i can replace internal power supply with "Replacement power and fan shuttle  - 778647-01"

    The part number you referenced is the intended replacement for the PXI-1044's power supply, so yes that power supply will work.

  • Problem with NEW H520 when installed new power supply & graphic card. Please help!

    My H520 was working perfectly and was running FAST..especially when rebooting. ( It was AWESOME!  )Then I installed a new power supply (Coolmax 400w) and a new graphic card (Sapphire Radeon HD6450) and then everything changed.  Now my computer is booting very SLOWLY and all the programs are taking a long time to load too.  I was getting a black screen for almost a full 2 minutes before the windows 8.0 screen would finally load up and then it hangs there for a few seconds and finally goes to the start screen in windows.  But BEFORE I installed this new hardware, when I would reboot, I would see the Lenovo splash screen come up for a few short seconds and then it instantly went to the windows welcome screen.  And even then I would barely have enough time to see the welcome screen before it instantly loaded into the windows start screen.  Everything would load up fast on the desktop too and we'd be good to go. It all took about 30 SECONDS. 
    But now? It takes MINUTES to get everything going.   After it FINALLY loads up (it takes almost 2 full minutes now!), everything hangs up.  When you first click on the desktop, it takes a few seconds for all of the icons to pop up.  Before I loaded the new hardware, everything loaded up instantly.  I didn't even see the icons load because they were already there.  But now I have to wait for them to load up before I can even see them.  And it's like that with every program and web browser I try to use now.  Everything hangs up at first and then finally loads.  The programs work but they are sluggish.
    So I uninstalled the new power supply and put back in the original 280w power supply and I took out the graphic card but it did no change.  The machine is STILL running slow on everything it does and booting very slowly.
    I have seen this problem mentioned elsewhere about Lenovo computers but there is never a solution.  Please help!  It took me a long time to save up for this computer and I have been babying it ever since.  I will never be able to afford a new one or pay for tech repair.  I need to fix this!    I was so thrilled with this computer before the hardware upgrade. This is devastating to me that it is working so poorly now when all I was trying to do was upgrade it a little bit.     Now it's performing horribly and it's only 6 months old. 
    I ran a four hour test on the hard drive and it is fine.  I ran all the system clean ups, optimizations, registry cleanups, windows disk cleaner, defragger and virus scans. Nothing is showing up as not working but there is CLEARLY a problem.  It was never this slow.   And why is it STILL acting this slow even after I uninstalled all of the new hardware that made it start acting this way and went back to the original setup?
    I'm trying to run a memory test on it now but the BIOS will NOT allow me to select another drive to boot from so I can't boot from the flash drive or CD drive to run the memory test.  I have NO IDEA what to do next and I am starting to pull my hair out in frustration.
    Please, is there anything that can be done to make it better again?
    Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.    Thank you!
    Sincerely,
    Jennifer

    I totally give up!!  I restored everything to the ORIGINAL state with drivers AND hardware and STILL everything is not working properly like it was BEFORE the upgrade.
    So this has been the WORST experience with Tech support EVER!!  I have spent DAYS on the phone for HOURS with these technicians and nobody seems to know what they are doing.  They put me on hold every 10 minutes and are gone for 10 to 15 minutes and when they come back, they seem all set on a new solution but when you ask them questions about it, they have NO CLUE how to answer and then they put you on hold again.  Nothing gets solved and after HOURS on the phone, I just tell them to stop because we are getting no where but running around in circles that make no sense.    THIS A NIGHTMARE!!
    So I totally gave up on being able to upgrade this machine.  To any future buyers, I STRONGLY recommend you do all upgrading BEFORE you get it home for the first time.  Make sure you have your power supply and graphic card INCLUDED before you bring it home or you're mostly likely going to have a NIGHTMARE upgrading it later.    Technical support is a HORROR STORY and expect to be WAITING for LOOOOONNNNG periods of time both ON THE PHONE and ONLINE and probably ending up with NO SOLUTION in the end. 
    I've VERY upset with how this turned out!!  I'm just gonna have to deal with the fact that my computer is permenantly messed up and NOBODY AT LENOVO knows how to fix it.    So I'm stuck. 
    I decided to send back the new power supply and the new graphic card because of this nightmare with tech support.  I put everything back to the way it was when I bought the computer and it is STILL acting up!!  I just want to revert it back to factory settings .. INCLUDING THE BIOS... but Lenovo said I have to send the WHOLE computer back to them to do that.  All I can do from home is restore from a point in the hard drive and that's not enough.  I need a TOTAL CLEAN INSTALL.  Everything needs to be wiped out and reset, not just restored to a previous restore point.  I've done this multiple times and all it does is erase all the programs and stuff I put on the computer.  The drivers and other codes are still the same.  And then bugs come up and things get all wonky.  I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I TRIED TO UPGRADE IT!!
    I am NOT comfortable with Lenovo's "solution". I do NOT want to send my computer back to them for them to reset it with factory disks ESPECIALLY when they stated that they are NOT responsible for any damage in transport or otherwise. I have to buy extra packaging to make sure it gets there safely. They told me to use the original box and packaging, that is the only way they can be sure it will get there safe.  Who has the original stuffing SIX MONTHS LATER?!?! I don't want to be sending my computer across the country to get jostled all over the place and have that add to the slowness of the hardware because it was jostled.
    Can't I reset it from home?  Can they not send ME the disks instead of me sending my whole computer to them?
    I'm so incredibly frustrated with this.  I hope somebody answers quickly and that I don't have to wait DAYS to get a response again. 
    I absolutely LOVED my Lenovo computer!  And then I tried to upgrade it.  BIG MISTAKE!!  Now everything is totally messed up and Lenovo's customer support for technical problems is HORRID!!
    Somebody please help.  This is driving me crazy with frustration and totally breaking my heart.  It took me a VERY long time to save up for this computer and it was my most loved possession.  It was a reward for a lot of hard times and now it's all broken and acting slow.  And it's only 6 months old.  
    Is there a solution to this very frustrating problem?
    I just want it to go back to the way it was before. 
    And is there a very low cost KNOWN TO WORK WITH THIS MACHINE upgraded graphic card and power supply?  Is there a very specific brand and make?  If so, could you let me know what it is in case I try to upgrade it again someday?
    Thank you for your time and for reading this! 
    Please have a FANTASTIC day today!!

  • Registering a 65w power supply? Where? How?

    Just had not one but TWO G4 17'" powerbook power supplies go dead on me within the span of two weeks. The first one shorted out totally and left charred plastic and burn marks right where the cord the plugs into the computer meets the power brick. However the second literally caught fire in front of my eyes!
    I was working on my laptop when suddenly everything shut down. I was confused at first but then I noticed the burning electric smell. When I glanced down at the power supply I saw blue sparks and tiny flames coming from where the cord meets the brick (computer side). I immediately unplugged my laptop first and then killed the power surge strip. The cord was totally burnt to a crisp. Gnarly...and good thing I was home when it happened!!!
    Anyway, took it down to the Apple store where I got surprised looks from the staff but long story short my applecare was expired and they didn't have any 65w power supplies to "swap out" with me since all the new books use the 85w standard. Needing my computer desperately, I swallowed my bitterness and plunked down the $90 to get a new power supply. (Personally I find that price outrageous...especially since I recently had a problem with a LaCie drive and they sent me a new power supply free of charge without any hassle whatsoever!)
    So I am using the one cord to power the two machines currently and I tried to register the darn thing in case this one decides to ignite but on the registration page I can't find any product listing for the power supply...or other apple peripherals for that matter. Its funny too because the Apple store staff made a huge deal of telling me to register the plug and I can't find a way to do it. I own many Apple products and they are all registered but it seems I am lost when registering something simple like a plug.
    Can anyone out there help me or provide a link?
    *I tried the normal registration link and there is no category for this product.
    thanks!

    yeah, I figured I would simply call AppleCare or take it back to the store and have them explain how to register online...since they said I could specifically register the power supply online.
    also just to clarify things, the cords were not damaged but they were 3 years old. the litlle plastic flange nubs that are near where the cord from the laptop enters the brick were still intact. in fact, that is what MELTED and got all crispy and black. it seemed to me the problem was that the plug was somehow damaged INSIDE the plastic sleeve right where it entered the power brick.
    I agree to never wrap the cord around the brick though. One thing that I must say to people who bought the G4 17" books when they first came out and are still using the same power supply, please take note of how hot the brick gets. Right before all this grief happened I started to notice that the brick was getting VERY warm (dare I say hot?) to the touch. I never once noticed any physical damage to the wires or connector...as far as I was concerned the power supplies were slightly less white but there were no visible signs that they were going to ignite.
    At this point it is too dificult to determine the factors that may have caused both power supplies to catch fire, so I won't speculate. However, my new power supply is plugged into the same outlet as the other two and working fine. It is also much much much much much much cooler to the touch than my old power supplies.
    My advice: if your G4 powerbook power supply is too hot for you to hold it in your hand it may be time to take advantage of AppleCare and trade it in for a new one OR go to your nearest Apple Store and plunk down $90. Your choice!

  • 1 yr old batt discharging, no led lamp on new power supply?

    1 yr old batt discharging, no led lamp on new power supply?

    17" MBP, Replaced batt 1 yr ago & 85W mag safe a week ago. Batt will intermittently discharge with power supply connected. Upon full batt discharge, LED no longer lit although still connected. Once batt fully discharged 0%, only thing that will resurrect it is literally unplugging power supply from AC. Upon recon to AC, batt will begin charging again & led on transformer will illuminate as normal.

  • Power Supply for multiple Graphics Cards

    I recently purchased an X1900 G5 Mac card. I now have my original (NVIDIA GEForce 6600LE) plus this new one. If I purchase yet another X1900, how do I get power to it? There is only one power jack on the mother board.
    What are my options? Can my power supply support more caards? How do I connect them to the power supply? ATI pointed me to Apple support

    Slot 1 (bottom) is the only slot designed for a high powered card. It is also the only 16 lane PCI-Express slot. The other slots have a power limit of 25 watts. Slot 3 is 8 lane, 2 and 4 are only 4 lane.
    <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWtechPCI/Articles/pci_implementation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003937-DontLinkElem entID64>
    Put the 1900 in slot 1 (bottom), and the 6600 in slot 3. Even if there was enough power for a second 1900, it would not have the bus bandwidth because there is only one 16x slot.

  • Replacing Power Supply Problems

    Apple Care had kindly sent me a new power supply. It is a self servicing part, i.e. I have to install it myself. Tried for 2 hours yesterday to get the old one out...didn't work.
    The problems:
    1. Middle screw on back of power supply does not get loose [the screw close to the power cord connector]. I tried to pull the power supply up while loosening screw...no success. Did anybody run in the same problem...how did you get this screw unstuck?
    2. Middle case screw [the one at the bottom of the computer] needs to be turned to the right...which is in contradiction to the downloadable manual...but the front ot the screw still touches the power supply...and possibly holds it in.
    How easy should the power supply come out...how much force can I apply without breaking the computer's case?
    3. Ambient light sensor connector: comes as separate cable. Since I have not gotten the old power supply out, I do not know how to connect the cable to the new one. There does not appear to be a designated hole on the power supply.
    Experiences welcome!
    Thanks
