Power control unit interface problem

I'm trying to get my intellegent power control unit running remotely through LabVIEW, but i'm having some slight problems. I want to make it a continiously running program so that the user can turn on or off the power to the outlets until they press the stop button. I've tried looping with a while loop but that doesn't seem to work quite right. Any suggestions?

I apologize, I didn't realize how vague I was being. I am trying to make it so that the front panel will basically mimic the instrument itself. I am not able, however, to do so because when I write the code with a while loop I use 'ok buttons' and 'power lights' and place them on the inside of the while loop. I will turn on the power to a switch and when the loop goes through the first iteration the power light and button will reset itself to the default position (light off and button labeled off) I have attatched the very basics of what i am having troubles with (both front panel and block diagram). Thanks.

Problem with 6.1 6700 [I think volume control unit]

Hi, I've a volume problem with my Inspire 6.1 6700. The volume sometime turn to be loud or weak automatically. I think that the problem depends from the volume control unit. How i can resolve this problem? I tried to find another volume control unit, but I findn' it...
Can you help me?
Thanks.

I have the same product (from 3 years)... and I had the same problem!... it's the faulty volume control! I changed it 2 times... the first replaced was broken ,5 years ago... the second (different from the original) 6 month ago... :smileysurprised:

My solution (or so I thought) to Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!!

I have found a solution to all my Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!! Though there is some good and bad news.
{EDIT: The problem has NOT been fixed, even after latest PowerManager (3.62) and BIOS (1.30) versions. Pretty much ignore anything I say below as the problem is still occurring. You can see my full post here: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W520-Speedstep-not-working-properly-on-battery-...}
Good news: I have NONE of the throttling issues or inconsistent CPU frequency problems I was having before on AC or battery power. Everything, including TurboBoost on battery works! It is completely fixed! (I have no idea how this factors into Lenovo’s statements that TurboBoost is disabled on battery “by design”. There is at least one other post from someone else that also reported TurboBoost was working for them on battery)
Bad news: I don’t really know which one of the many things I tried actually worked. I am sorry I wasn’t more methodical about recording what I did and checking results, but this was my last ditch effort to get this fixed on my own without sending the system in for repair and frankly, I didn’t think it would work. Now that it has worked, I’m hoping my steps can help others.
For anyone interested, here’s what I did… and before anyone says something like “That has nothing to do with managing power/cpu, why would that help?!… etc., please keep in mind I’m just stating exactly what I did. I am aware some of the steps may not be relevant, but who knows… We all know how weird PC’s are sometimes, even the smallest, oddest thing may resolve a problem.So anyway, here goes.
**IMPORTANT** Not sure how many noticed, but there was a new version of Power Manager released a few weeks ago, 3.62. The PM driver seems to have stayed the same. That alone could very well be the sole fix, I’m not sure. You may just want to completely remove PM and PM driver and install the latest version before trying any of the steps below.
1)Made a complete system image via Windows built-in backup feature
2)Disable any 3rd party fan/CPU control utilities (Throttlestop, etc). Make sure they are also not going to run at startup or from a scheduled task
3)Remove Power Manager Driver, then remove Power Manager software
4)Reboot to Windows
5)Remove all traces of the Power Manager drivers/software directories (think it was something like C:\readyapps and C:\drivers.) **For some odd reason after I did this, my wireless stopped working but it resolved itself by the time I was done with these steps, strange
6)Reboot
7)Access BIOS and reset all settings to default
8)Boot into Windows, downgrade to BIOS 1.25 [UEFI: 1.25 - 8BET44WW / ECP: 1.14 8AHT32WW ] via the Windows flash utility. I wanted to downgrade all the way back to 1.06, but the software would throw up some error for any version prior to 1.25 and wouldn’t proceed
9)Reboot to Windows; make sure system booted w/ out issues
10)Reboot again, access BIOS, reset to defaults again
11)Shut down system
12)Disconnect AC power. Remove main battery. Access and disconnect system backup (a.k.a CMOS) battery under keyboard. Discharge residual power in the system (there are various ways to do this, but you could just leave the battery disconnected for a few minutes). Visually inspect the system for anything funky…my system had a slightly but noticeably loose CPU/GPU heat sink/fan assembly power connector.
13)Reconnect backup battery.
14)Reconnect AC power but leave main battery disconnected.
15)Power on. Should get a message indicating “checksum error, system time reset” or something like that.
16)Reboot to Windows. Verified still okay.
17)Downloaded latest BIOS version, 1.26. This time I burned the bootable BIOS flash CD instead of running it through Windows.
18)Restart and boot from disc, flash BIOS to 1.26. Once complete, restart. Verify BIOS set to defaults.
19)Boot back into Windows.
20)Install latest Power Manager driver (1.62 ), reboot if/as prompted. Install Power Manager (3.62), reboot as prompted.
21)Boot into Windows, verified Power Manager was active and working. Verified TurboBoost was working. Restarted system a few times and played around with Power Manager for a bit to see if the different power plans worked and retained the settings, all the while monitoring the Intel TurboBoost utility and PM’s own “power gauges”. Let system Sleep, changed power sources, resumed, etc. Everything was working great.
22)Shutdown, reconnect main battery. Booted into Windows. Again, fiddled with Power Manager for a bit, switching between power plans and AC/battery power. Still worked great.
23)Success!
That’s it. Again, this is not a guaranteed fix guide. These are just simply the steps that I took on my system that resolved the problems many of us are having. Hopefully it will work for others.

All I basically did was download and install...
(Chipset driver) http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/oss924ww.exe
(PM driver) http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/83ku14ww.exe
Now, I did chipset first (didnt ask to reboot) then installed the PM driver (did ask to reboot)
I rebooted.... then I went into bios (1.26) and set everything to default... then restarted saving changes...
Since I prefer not using optimus I changed the display settings in bios right after saving the default settings...
Not sure whether or not you really had to go into bios... but everything seems to be working...
My settings in PM is set to Maximum Power in the Advanced tab, 3rd party monitoring tools is TPFanControl and HWInfo64....

Can I install a G3 Blue & White power supply unit in a G4 AGP?

I have a G3 and a G4. The G4s power supply unit (PSU) short circuited a while back and I got a G3 as a replacement. I've tried to find a replacement power supply unit for the G4 and have been using the G3 in its place. Sometimes they appear on ebay but I usually lose the auction. But the G3 has upgrade issues that involve spending money on it. It's a Blue and White 300 MHz Yosemite while the G4 is the Graphite AGP 400MHz Sawtooth. RAM isn't an issue, processing speed is, the G3 is harder to upgrade. Plus I can put up to 3 hard drives in the G4. 2 ATAs and a SCSI. the G3 only holds 1 ATA hard drive. With 2 SCSI bays.
Anyway I'm leaning towrds retiring the G3 and rebuilding the G4 starting with the PSU. And I've seen on auction sites that these units are compatible with both Macs, the Blue and White G3 and the AGP and PCI G4. It is essentially the same 240 watt unit made by Delta Electronics or ATX..
However as I spent part of the yesterday dismantleing and cleaning dust out the Sawtooth's innards, and removing the broken PSU, I also noticed on the G3 that the PSUs cables are slightly different. There is one cable that is connected to the start button. On the G4 this isn't the set up. The start button's cable is linked directly to the motherboard.
To get to the point. Is this cable arrangement a potential problem that I should avoid by not tinkering with it? Or can I ignore this and install the G3 PSU in my G4? I'm preceding with caution and will check back here later in the day.
Thanks.

Thanks, Grant
Interesting opinion.. and funny too.
On close inpsection of the fron panel you're right the cable is a hard drive cable, and without a number. Whereas the connector for the DVD and Zip drive are numbered P7 and P6.
And in the G4 there is a slot for where this old connector went, but there's nothing to connect, no pins. It's as if this slot was evolutionary rump on its spine end where the tail ended, that the G4 designers left in or else they used left over parts from the G3 to save money.. This early G4, introduced in 1999-2000 is one evolutionary step above the G3 which was discontinued in early 1999. The G4 front panel has a slim grey ribbon cable leading under the chassis directly to the motherboard, along witha thin wire and small pin connector leading from the speaker.
There's nothing like a beakdown to learn how to rebuild your PowerMac. And I think most of the repairs are DIY doable. It just takes a few good screwdrivers, a little know how, some patience and a lot of spare time. All that and the correct replacement parts, if you can find them.
So I've finished installing the G3 PSU in the G4. It fits perfectly in and amazingly all the cables were long enough, including the cable to the ATA hard drive bay P2 and P3. Hard drive is connected, RAM installed, ready to go. All I have to do is plug the power cable into a power strip socket and hope for the familiar whirr and chime and breatha sigh of relief. If nothing happens then it prolly means the motherboard is kaputt. Or that it isn't compatible with the G4 architecture and it's back in the G3. I'll let the board know what's happened tomorrow. I'm off to Slumberland. ZZZZZzzzzz. rob

Interface Problems in Yosemite

Problem shows up when using software other than the native OS X apps.
If I attempt to close a window behind the app that has focus by clicking the red x part of the semaphore buttons (top left on every window) it will not work unless I change focus to that app by clicking the bar at the top.
As an example if I'm using Byword to view a document while composing an email in Airmail once I finished and move on to viewing, say a receipt, in Airmail and want to make a copy of that receipt and place it on the desktop. I'm done with Byword and it is covering the desktop so why not close it and get it out of the way. I move the mouse pointer over the red X part of the semaphore buttons and click, nothing happens. I have to bring Byword into focus by clicking the title bar, then click the red x to finally close the window. If the app below Airmail happened to be Safari the red X works properly.
On my Mac Mini using Yosemite this works properly for all apps.
This is only a slight problem but I have been having the odd quirky interface problems for the past while and I'm worried that something has gone south and these may end up adding together to make a very large problem. Initially I had problems with PopClip which seemed to be screwing around with the interface buttons in Rapidweaver 6. I removed the app to clear that problem using AppDelete.
While trying to diagnose this problem I have removed all the auto login apps that I can and rebooted several times to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
My G4 won't start. It may be the Power Management Unit. I want to rest the PMU. I can find nothing on resetting the power management unit on a Quicksliver desktop G4.
Any suggestions?

I am having similar problems looking for the quicksilver pmu instructions, but these should be close.

Triggers and control unit between drums and Logic

I have to purchase a trigger set and a trigger control unit to put on a Ludwig drum kit so that to connect to my Stylus RMX sets on Logic thru my AMT8 interface. I have heard about Ddrum for the trigger set, and for the control unit?..
Any advice?
Thanks
Fulvio

the d4 is ok, but unable to load in your own samples. the d5 has this option, but is discontinued. The Yamaha RM50 is my weapon of chioce and is leaps and bounds better in sound quality and options than anything I've seen from Alesis. Great audio out options, and of course, all the MIDI you need, plus the ability to load samples with a memory expansion, and ability to trigger sounds from any card in the R series synths. meaning, load a card for a bass guitar and trigger that from your kick drum, load some string and fx patches and trigger those from your snare. endless possibilities. Check out the RM50, I love mine and highly recommend it.

Logic Pro 9 & Motu 828 interface problem ?

Hi all. I am running Logic Pro 9 on my iMac with a Motu 828 mk2 audio interface connected by firewire. It used to work fine with logic but strangely i now have a problem.
It works fine with iTunes music and listening to sounds/mp3s etc from my desktop but as soon as i boot up logic pro and try to work on a project the only sound output i get is very high pitched noises and large gaps between these noises. It wont play any sounds at all through pro even samples via the browser.
Can anyone help or explain what maybe wrong? i havent a clue whats happened!
Thanks in advance for any help

Paul, sounds like the MOTU needs a reset.
- Unplug the firewire
- press the button "setup", turn full
- right until "factory default"
- push select
- confirm with "value"
- Power Off the Interface
- Power On The Interface
- Reboot The Mac - Let it settle
- Plug the Firewire Back In
Did you do an OS upgrade with the MOTU plugged In, any time you do an OS upgrade, even if it's just an incremental one (10.8.3 to 10.8.4) unplug the MOTU, some garbage is usually sent out the firewire port during an OS upgrade.

K450 doesn't have Power control switch?

Hi,
I recently bought a Lenovo Ideacentre K450 (refurbished) from lenovo outlet. When I received it I was a bit surprised that it doesn't have the power control switch, and there's no LED lighting as well. It looks more like a low-end K410. I suppose all K450 would have the power control switch, or am I actually wrong? The model # of my machine is 57314032, with i7-4770, 16GB DDR3 and 2TB hard drive.
Does anyone have any idea? Not a big issue but kind of annoying... Thanks in advance!
Solved!

hi adcmaker,
Thanks for Posting!
I suggest you contact Lenovo Post sales.
The Power Control Switch is a solid feature and not part of the optional ones.
It would be best if you would hear it from them since the unit is refurbished Im not sure if this is really how the system is.
Regards

Ford Voice Control & iPod playlist problems

Ford Voice Control & iPod playlist problems
I am having problems with the voice control system and my video ipod (5th gen) in a new Ford Focus Coupè-Convertible which also has Bluetooth phone conectivity ( works great with my iPhone 3G) as well as USB & Voice Control
This is all done through a Sony audio unit (model Sony 6CD DAB) which has a Six disc CD changer built in, as well as the usual FM & AM Radio bands as well as DAB Radio.
My problem relates to the voice control of my ipod and playlists.
Now some commands work just great For example if I say the following sequence ( which the unit repeats back to me at each stage) it works great:
"External Device"
"iPod"
"Play"
All works well as it starts playing whatever playlist the iPod was in prior to connection to the unit, or if no playlist had been selected it just plays the whole contents of the iPod. - It also works fine with the commands "Shuffle" or "Repeat".
But according to the user manual I am supposed to be able to play or select a specific playlist by voice command using the following syntax as quoted from the manual:
'...create playlists named with the structure "Ford<*>" where <*> is a number 1-10. For example "Ford7" without any spaces between "Ford" and the number.
So I made several playlist called
Ford1
Ford2
Ford3
and so on up to Ford10.
Now according to the voice commands list I should say the following phrases which like before, are repeated back to me by the system:
"External Device"
"iPod"
"Playlist"
Then the unit responds with
"Playlist Number Please"
Then according to the manual I should say the following:
But when I say either
'Ford1'
Or
'1'
Or any right up to 'Ford10' / '10'
It responds bystating that playlist number (X) not available.
I have also tried with the quotation marks ("") around the name eg "Ford1", but that has not worked either.
So I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this problem and knew a solution, or could tell me where I am going wrong.
Although my car is a UK model, I believe that this voice control system is available with Sony units in American cars as well.
Hope you can help as this is driving me nuts!
Thanks

Hi Drusus.
I also have a European Ford (Focus ST - 2009) with the same problem.
Have you found any solution to the problem, or know if its possible to contact Ford...?

IPod HiFi A1121 power supply unit

Hi there,
I have an iPod HiFi A1121 and am aware it is discontinued. My power supply unit is the problem with mine, but due to the fact it seems quite complex and there are 3 different output wattages on it, it doesn't seem to be something I can just find a similar one of. Does anyone have a broken HiFi that they are prepared to part with, or does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to find a power supply unit from that would enable me to use my HiFi? It works on battery power and my friend has an adapter, that allows mains usage, but it means it will only play music to the same level as with batteries. Pleeeeeaassee could someone help me with any information? Thanks very much

Thanks!
Interesting, this "Piggy back power adapter" will allow me to plug the fan into one of the ATA/IDE cables? Or do you mean the extra port on the power supply? (it has one plug for the outlet>G4, then another to support something like a monitor or similar) The G4 has a DVD burner, but no ZIP drive, so this is quite do-able if it uses the ATA power.
When you say "lower rear", do you mean at the bottom? Below the power supply, to the right of the PCI slots? If so, this is the inflow for the CPU fan! I can understand mounting it outside the current outflow-vent for the dead power supply fan, although I'm not sure the best way to proceed with attaching the fan.
Another question: what tools and supplies will I need? I may need to remove the plastic cover on the back of the G4 - the one that is outside the power supply - as there's a gap between the gray plastic and metal chassis that lets air from outside the machine come in. The screws for this cover use a funky, hexagonal screwdriver. If I need to take this cover off, what kind of screwdriver will I need? Also, should the fan not include screws/etc, what's the best method to attach it? Glue?
Secondly, to cut a hole in the G4, will I need some variety of drill? I don't have one, so i'll have to borrow one... Since there's nothing in the ZIP slot, I can run a cable out through here (assuming it's long enough), and make a new bezel to keep the airflow inside intact.
Ah! One other (somewhat related) question: my USB 2 card includes a power adapter, for use when several un-powered devices (flash drives) are attached. It works just fine with a flash drive and a small media reader, but it's slow to sense the drives - I think it's low on power. Unfortunately, this power plug uses the same variety of plug as the floppy disk drives found on many win-boxes - of which the G4 possesses none. Is there an adapter/cable for this purpose?
Thanks, this is a HUGE help, I appreciate it.

Resetting the Power management unit

I have a 12" Powerbook G4. have been having problems with the battery, would charge fully, with coconut battery, would show 4081 as current battery capacity.
It would drain down to around 79% then immediately go to sleep and when plugged in, battery would show 0%.
I want to reset the power management unit, and see if this might solve the problem.
I've followed the instructions
shift-ctrl-option-pwr button
After I do that (I've done it with the power cord connected, with it disconnected, and with it disconnected, and the battery disconnected). The time doesn't reset. I had thought that the time was supposed to get reset. Can anybody confirm that this? is there any way to know that the powermanagement unit has actually been reset?
Just want to try a few last things before spending the money on a new battery. btw, the computer is about 3 years old.
Thanks.

This line:
Full charge capacity (mAh): 5893
and this one:
Cycle count: 60
indicate that the battery is healthy. However, the voltage, at 15961, seems high. However I can't compare to my PB17 right now because my daughter borrowed it.
Maybe someone who has their PB handy can compare their numbers.
If the battery is healthy and the a/c adaptor seems to be working, that leaves the internal power circuitry as a suspect.

Faulty Power Monitoring Unit?

I updated to 10.4.9 about a week and a half ago. I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem, but before that, I had no issues with my battery.
Recently, I was using my Macbook, running on the battery, and with about 3:30 remaining, it shut off into sleep mode.
I plugged it in and restarted it to find that my battery capacity went from 5200 mAh to about 550. That's TOTAL CAPACITY, not current charge.
So, I called AppleCare, and they told me to reset my PSU and PRAM. Surely enough, I was getting a correct reading for my capacity and charge.
I just charged my laptop before going to bed last night and I let my MacBook sleep while running on battery while I was at school. When I got home to use it, this is what the readings for my power were:
Current Battery Capacity - 6533 mAh
Original Battery Capacity - 5200 mAh
Approx. Time Remaining - 47 hours 49 minutes.
This was about 10 minutes after turning it back on, mind you.
I tried to reset my PSU and PRAM...twice...but to no avail.
Is my Power Monitoring Unit faulty, or am I not reseting it properly?
Help is appreciated.
NOTE: This Power monitoring problem only seems to occur when I let my MacBook sleep for long periods of time (about 10-12 hours). Could that have anything to do with it?
MacBook (White) Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1GB RAM 80 GB HD SuperDrive 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo

I am going into the Apple store tomorrow.
I have done 7 PMU Resets and 5 PRAM resets, all to no avail.
I swear, this battery is faulty. Please post new updates if you can. I may not be able to log on and reply because I'm having connection problems. Post any suggestions you can, other than a PMU or PRAM reset - those HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT WORK.
