Best Replacement AC Adapter?

Why-oh-why does Apple refuse to make a better adaptor for their laptops? I know they could do it if they just put their minds to it.
Another sad AC adaptor is looking like it is going to fail me soon. I am now only allowing it to be used when I am right next to it, in case it catches fire.
So...what do I replace it with. Buying another pathetically constructed AC adaptor that will fail in exactly 1 year and one week (perhaps they have an inbuilt failure mechanism??) seems out of the question right now, but as I look at the options, it is hard to know which is best.
Does anyone have any recommendations for third-party adaptors that have held up well? Also, should I be concerned about purchasing one that isn't grounded and why?
Thank-you in advance for any help!

mcetech.com makes one for $39.95. I like it. It pulls apart like an old fashioned PB 2400 adapter, in fact fairly easily. This can be a pain, but you're also less likely if you trip over the cord to bring the whole computer with you. It doesn't light at the end like a normal adapter, of course. It's not grounded or even polarized, but I've never had any problems. Here's the link. (no line feeds, of course)

Why Using Top Link is best in DB Adapter?

Hi All,
Can any one suggest , Why Using Top Link (Build-in Insert, Select etc. operation) is best in DB Adapter over using custom query?
Thanks

Hi Vikky,
for insert/select it depends on what kind of user you are. TopLink lets you browse and click on a tables and have everything generated for you. If you are more a DBA or show me the SQL type then you can just type SQL directly.
Some advantages of TopLink would be:
-The range of SQL generated by TopLink is limited, but if you hard code complex SQL into your service you need to maintain it.
-TopLink can generate at runtime the correct SQL for a given database, making switching from say DB2 to Oracle easy.
-The merge operation will compare the input XML to the columns on the database and update only what has changed. It can also do a sparse merge. If only 4 columns in the XML were set, only those 4 columns in the database will be updated.
-For inbound polling the strategy used (LogicalDelete, Sequencing Table, etc) is a configuration property and then at runtime multiple SQL statements are generated. The SQL also takes advantage of advanced syntax like the Oracle-only FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, writing it all yourself may be tedious and error prone.
-The main benefit of TopLink is when you go beyond thinking about a single table. If you import multiple related tables at once, TopLink will generate the SQL to select from and maintain multiple tables, establish a commit order, and generate a hierarchical XSD. With custom SQL the matching XSD is always flat. I.e. if you just need to insert an emp you could get away with custom SQL. If you need to insert a dept and emps, I would use TopLink.
-This is also when the intermediary abstraction of an object/table makes more sense, as you only need to import a complex relational schema once, then generate inserts, selects, etc.
So I hope that helps. They are each equally viable and can do something that the other can't. Where you see an overlap I would go with personal preference.
Thanks
Steve

Replace E1- Adapter with Business Services

Hello,
We are using E1-adapter to communicate with web Methods ( like calling business function, table IO etc..), now we are planning to replace E1- adapter with Business Services. We are using tools 8.98.11 and Application Release E812.
Question is , is it possbile to create a wraper to call any business functions just like E1-adapter? Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thank you.
Edited by: user3448054 on Oct 12, 2009 1:09 PM

Yes, you can use the JDE Business Service Server to simulate the E1-Adapter associated with webMethods. Oracle provides out of the box Business Services for a majority of the E1 transactions. We have implemented Business Services Server with our webMethods and it is working very well.

What is the best replacement for iWeb?

I have been using iWeb for a very long time. I need to move on to something that is being updated. What is the best replacement for iWeb? I see Wordpress needs special software to work on a Mac.
Thanks!

I have used HostExcellence in the past and they support all the CMS's including WordPress, so you should have no problems there.
The top CMS's that most have heard about and use are Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.
There is probably no best one, but you need to look at them all and use the one that best fits your needs.
I have used all of them in the past, but most recently Joomla and Drupal. Drupal has a reputation for being quite hard and Drupal 6 was, but with the advent of Drupal 7, things got a lot easier. There are a lot more themes that you can use and if you want increased functionality in Drupal, then you can download Modules and install them. You can have a membership site if you want it and this is easy to do - people can sign up for an account and you can restrict their access to certain parts of the site and then limit what they can do. You can allow people to complete forms on the site itself and the results to be sent to you. There is a Blog module that you can enable and that comes in Drupal Core with no need to download an extra module.
Joomla is good also and you can have a Blog with it too and there are lots of themes to choose from, but sometimes you have to pay for extras with Joomla - you can download Extensions and Plugins, but they may not always be free.
WordPress was always just thought of as a blogging platform, but it has evolved in to much more than that and you can now create stunning looking websites with blogs - there are a good range of free templates to choose from and if you want your blog on the front page of your site you can have this, or you can change it to another part of your site if you want a static front page. To extend functionality you can download plugins from inside WordPress itself, most of which are free. This might be the easiest one for you to use if you just want a website with a built in blog that is relatively easy.
Check out the others though at Drupal.org, Joomla.org and then WordPress.org.

Replacement AC Adapter for W500

Hi,
I ordered a replacement AC adapter for my W500 and got a 135W (6.75A) can I use this when the old one is a 90W (4.5A)
TIA
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to Lenovo Community! keller
Yes, it should be workable as long as the new AC adapter provides more power than the old one, as well as having the same round connector.
Have a nice day!

Fourpoint Surround FPS 2000 Digital - Replacement AC Adapter?

Yeah, anyone reading this is thinking, "That system is ancient! Didn't that come out around EAX 1.0?" Indeed, friends, indeed. And a faithful and wonderful system it has been. I would love for it to continue its service in my home, too, if I can locate a replacement AC adapter. Go figure. Speakers still work, but without power what good are they? Again, I'm looking for the AC adapter for the Cambridge Soundworks Fourpoint Surround FPS 2000 Digital speaker package. It features 5VDC 3A output. I'm a bit hesitant to PAY to ask Creative if they can help me through customer support. =/ Especially for such an old system that gets no recognition on their site at all. =) Thanks all! -Rober

Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 Digital System Model#: C5W500AC Adapter Model#: TEAD-66-53000U Hope that helps.
I just found a generic transformer at Radio Shack (gag me!) and they want $90US (again, please) which is a bit more than I ever plan to pay for a Radio Shack part. At $90, I'd just save up and buy one of the newer model systems. =/

Replacement AC Adapter - Output Discrepancy

I bought a replacement power adapter on ebay, the specifications for the non-apple replacement matched exactly. The one I received though is slightly different: output of 2.65A instead of 1.875A as stated on the original A1036 adapter. The vendor assures me this is acceptable, but I don't want to cook anything. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Dave

Hey Dave,
Well I'm sitting here on a 1.2 14" iBook and just read your post. I looked at my power adapter and it's a 65 Watt adapter outputting 24.5 Volts @ 2.65 Amps model A1021. Didn't realize I had one. I never even look at the Amp rating but the 65W A1021 is considered an upgrade from the A1036 and is usually more expensive. If you had a larger PowerBook it would require this adapter.
So upshot is I apparently have both ( about 5 all together ) and use both interchangeably. The iBook is not going to care how many Amps the adapter is capable of putting out. It will only use what it needs.

What's the best replacement program for idvd to burn dvd's, what's the best replacement program for idvd to burn dvd's

What is the best dvd burning program to replace idvd? i'm trying to burn good quality DVD's from imovie.

There is no truly "best" replacement - I haven't found one that can do what iDVD can (customizable menus/themes).
You can still purchase the retail iLife 11 disk which includes iDVD from online resellers, ebay, and Amazon. I've seen it there for as little as $25; Apple no longer offers it - I'm assuming they ran out of stock. I purchased it because I use it extensively and wanted to make sure I can reinstall if necessary.
The closest alternative would be Roxio Toast ($$); excellent burning app (plus a slew of other things), I use it, but its' menu choices are not acceptable to me.

Help with WRVS4400N - Need to find a replacement AC Adapter

Hello, I have a Cisco WRVS4400N V2. I need to find a replacement AC adapter and the stands if possble. Can anyone direct me to the right place? Thanks.

Mike,
unfortunately we do not stock or have product numbers for the AC adapter or the stands. Any universal AC adapter should work provided that it provides the following power requirements:

What music app is the best replacement for iTunes 11 on OS X? Must be able to open multiple playlists.

What music app is the best replacement for iTunes 11 on OS X? Must be able to open multiple playlists.

First step before doing anything with OD is to make certain that local DNS services are correct. To verify that, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities on the test server, and issue the following harmless, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter your administrative password for the sudo to be accepted.
If the output from that command reports no changes are required, then an export from the original OD and an import into the test system would be typical for testing, if you trust what's in the original OD.

How do I best replace the battery latch in a HP Probook 4510s?

How do I best replace the battery latch in a HP Probook 4510s? After letting it fall, I had to replace the battery latches.

Hi:
Please review the notebook tour guide at the link below. See page 9 for the bottom components illustration.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01849861.pdf
There is a battery release latch on the bottom of the notebook. When you remove the battery there should be a part number on it on a white tag. The part number would be arranged 6 digits a dash, and 3 digits (123456-001).
Then you can input the part number at the HP parts store at the link below. You may need to change the country location at the top. I have it set for the United States.
