G50 LED's For AC Power, Charge, and Disk Activity

Good morning,
Does anyone know why or had any experience with the LED's located on the lower left side of this laptop not functioning?
Had the power connector cable replaced by a service center because the cord was loose and not those LED's don't light up.
Everything works well and nothing seems impeded, but those LED's don't light up. I'm pretty sure a ribbon cable probably came off during the repair, but am hesitant to take this apart myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And here is hoping everyone has a great holiday and Happy New Year.

Hi @Working_Stiffie
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a superb place to find answers and ideas!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I see you recently had the power connector cable replaced and now the LEDS in the lower left do not light up. You are uncomfortable disassembling the notebook. It is most likely a loose or not connected cable as you said. As you just had it repaired I would take it back to the repair shop and advise him of the situation. He should be able to correct it for you.
Here is a link to HP G50 Notebook PC and Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide that will go over removal procedures if you would like to attempt this yourself.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays!

I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?

I think that we all understood what you meant. If the extension cord is no longer working, then return it.
We are all trying to tell you that you can plug the power block into a standard household extension cord - using the short cord that came with the iPad - and there is no need for the extension cord that you bought.

I want to use my new netbook for my ipod charger and storage

How do I use my new netbook for my ipod charger and storage?

I gave full info for how to do this setup in this thread with screen shots..

Any of it you don't follow just ask.
The TC is really a complex thing to use, when you don't do it as Apple designed it.. and in fact on your iMac an external drive will be cheaper, faster and more reliable than a TC. But I guess you already have it so may as well use it.

What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
I see this on amazon
*Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
*Technical Details*
*¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
*¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
*¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
*¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
*¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
Go figure, but for now there it is.
Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

Solution for monitor power supply and raid 5 on x4150 server

Hi everybody,
a simple question :
my compagny have some server SunFire x4150 in some Datacenter, and there is a thing that we cannot really monitored remotly : the status of the 2 power supply and the status of the raid 5 of the server.
(i want to know if a power is down or if a disk is "dead")
We are using Nagios, cacti and munin actually, so can we use these interfaces for that?
if the answer is no, a script can be developed , if only i knew the command that can be used to take informations from the state of the raid5, i'll comunicate later the type of the raid card.
what are the best solutions availables for monitor those things?
thanks by advance

We have some x4150s but they're running Linux. There are separate solutions for each of the 2 problems.
1. For the power supplies, you can use the ELOM/ILOM system management interface (also used for monitoring the fans and temperature). If you've got it configured and connected to the network, you can set it up to email you about any events. We have the older ELOM firmware running, which includes the ability to add some actions to take in response to specific events. The new and supposedly better ILOM firmware doesn't seem to include this. Since this is IPMI compatible you can probably also hook into this using ipmitool or SNMP tools.
2. For the RAID card, assuming it's the standard Adaptec (rebranded as StorageTek) controller, you can install and use StorMan software (it's on the tools & drivers CD if not pre-installed). Once again you can configure email notification from the StorMan GUI, but this time it relies on OS host services to do the mail forwarding via the host NIC.
I'm not familiar with the details of your network system admin tools, but hopefully these tips will provide pointers on what hooks are available for these tools to tie into. Presumably there's also Sun N1 management software which can probably do this in a more built-in way, but it sounds like you've already got more than enough management tools.

My iphone 4 stopped recognizing when it is plugged in to charge. I have to let it completely die and do a soft reset for it to charge and start back up. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

My iPhone 4 stopped recognizing when it is plugged in to charge. It has to completely die and a soft reset has to be done to it before it will charge and start back up running. A tech at a store said it was just a short in the phone and nothing could be done to fix it, but I'm sure there has to be other options. Any suggestions?

To rule out a software issue or damaged data inside the backup, set it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards.
If the phone is back to normal after that, restore from the backup again.

Constant CPU and Disk Activity

I just upgraded my MBP from Tiger to Leopard, and also upgraded from trial to full .Mac account, so I now have an iDisk for the first time.
I have iStat Menus installed and where, before the upgrades, the CPU graph showed a very low level of activity (almost zero) when the computer was idle, it now looks like a picket fence, with spikes reaching almost to the top of the graph. The disk activity graph exactly matches the CPU graph with regular spikes, which occur about very 7-8 seconds.
I opened Activity Monitor, and the highest usage switches between 'Sync Server' (with a value of anything from 2 to 9) and 'kernel-task' (with a value of around 2.5). Something called 'mds' sometimes pops up to the top (with values of 2-3). It appears the culprit is 'Sync Server'. I've tried iDisk sync set to 'Manually', and also with it turned off altogether, but it makes no difference.
Does anyone know what's going on here and, more importantly, how to get my MBP to relax again.
Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

I'm resurrecting this question because the problem still exists. Restarting the computer always stops the spikes but they always start up again at some point (I'm yet to pinpoint a cause) and, once happening, I can quit all running apps (except Finder) and they persist, and they seem to occur about 10 secs. apart.
The spikes occur in both cores but, if one core has a big spike (close to 100%) the other's is small and vice versa. Or they both have moderate spikes. It seems the total usage is about the same for every spike, though spread differently between the two cores.
And the HD still shows activity at the same rate as the spikes.
Any ideas what I should look for?
Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

New 9 Cell S10 Battery-Advcie For First Time Charge and After?

Did search on first time charge for laptop batteries. I just picked up a 9 cell laptop battery for my S10. What is the best way to keep the life of these battries long. Read discharge fully then charge for 12 hours. Read charge fully then discharge 3 x's.
Any one know for sure? Please advise!-Thanks.
PS- the battery came charged at 81%.

Hi ... i did the first 3 x times charged full / empty .. later you can charge if you want / need the battery ... if you use long period of time plugged with psu (week, month) ... its better to eject the battery ..
store at cool & dry place... and use it when you want mobile
thats only my suggestion

I need the mother board plug for the battery charger and Bios Battery for an XT178 Laptop?

HP xt178 Laptop (1P) F4685H SN: TW24604214
I need to replace the motherboard plug that the Battery Charger plugs into as it is broken.
The Bios Battery has failed and is NO: ML1220 with a number 28 in ink stamped on it.
are these parts available from HP or can you provide me with common part numbers.
Jack

Hey JD,
That's a reaalllllllllyyy old laptop. As an HP employee I feel obligated to recommend picking up a new one at your local retailer.
If you are serious about finding parts then you may be out of luck. HP stopped servicing that notebook in 2006.

OVI Suite 2.0: memory consumption and disk activit...

Hi all,
the new Ovi suite is consuming ridiculous amounts of memory:
- nokiamserver.exe - 150 MB
- Nokiaovisuite - 240 MB
Come on!
in addition to this the nokiamserver.exe keeps the hard drive extremely busy in every boot for more than 20 minutes!
I have this latest OVI suite now installed now in my BUSINESS laptop and I just don't need or want mediaservers running in it. Just want the internet connectivity and occasional photo/message sync.
Is there a way to disable it and start it I ever happen to need it?
JH
Running on XP SP2

Absolutely the same here.
It seems so avid of resources because it is in "Watchfiles" mode (absolutely consuming if you, like me, use OVI on a virtual machines whose folders (almost ever on VM) are located on a net share.
I didn't try it on a normal machine, but IMO if OVI have to handle large pictures/music folders its background watchfiles process do a hard job to monitor changes in real time.
So I launched regedit and removed (or you can leave it putting "REM" before the path) the registry key
REM C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\MPlatform\NokiaMServer /watchfiles startup
that you can find here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Anyone know of dock for itouch 4 with charging and audio out

Anyone know of a decent simple dock for itouch4 with charging and audio out? Searched a bit but can't see one. My old Belkin dock connects audio with adaptors out but no charge.

I know what you mean. I would love to see Google offer the (email pic from mobile) to post like other sites (FLICKER, FACEBOOK, etc) offer. I did sign up for Facebook just to try it out. Worked great, but I really don't care for Facebook itself (or any social sites like it). Would rather just stick with Google's photo albums (also like their iPhone interface into it). All they need is the ability to upload via mobile and I would for sure use them only.

What is the correct part number for the ac-charger for hp mini 110-1191eo (part vj213ea#uuw)?

I need to find the correct part number for the ac-charger for hp mini 110-1191eo (part vj213ea#uuw).
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Good question.
That I don't have a definite 100% answer to.
It probably is OK. Wattage is what it is rated at. More wattage is probably a good thing, and I have read that = or - .5v is not supposed to be an issue.
You can do a google search of the part number for your power adapter and see if they still carry it, if you are concerned.
