    Broken pin on a SATA drive -- can I save it?

    Thank you for the replies guys. I really appreciate it. This might have to be a project that I save for Fall break. My classes have been taking all my time as of late, but I do have an older motherboard lying around that I could check for that plastic piece.

    Broken pin on a SATA drive -- can I save it?

    First off, my apologies if this isn't the proper board for this question. Mods feel free to drop it in the right place for me if so. A friend of mine gave me a 500gb WD SATA drive which I've been using for a few months now. At the time he gave it to me, the pins that the cable connects to were...

    Very odd touchpad issue

    I ordered a refurbished Gateway for a friend from TigerDirect. It showed up, and everything is nice and it looks perfect, except there's this weird issue with the touchpad. It only recognizes your finger on half of the pad (the right half). If you slide your finger from right to left, it just...

    Bold 9700 vs. iPhone 3G

    I just made a pretty nice discovery. If I turn off my theme I had set on Winterboard, my free memory went from approx. 28MB to 50MB. Wow. Nice improvement. If this is what it takes to make this phone faster, I'm more than happy to use the default theme.

    Bold 9700 vs. iPhone 3G

    iPhone 3g owner here. I got one a bit unexpectedly for my birthday back in October, upgrading from a Blackjack II. It was a great switch, and my first time getting a data plan on a phone as well. The browsing is fast, smooth, and plain awesome. I soon got a little disappointed by the lack of...

    Two odd USB issues

    First issue. This one just angers me every once in a while. Sometimes, when I plug a USB device into my front USB ports on my case, it will cause my monitor to just go black. The blue power light will stay on, but the screen will just stay black until I reboot. Turning the monitor on and off...

    Lost power adapter to a Netgear router, help finding replacement

    Edit - I believe I've conquered this problem. I have the v3 version of this router and my power adapter says it's a DV-1280-3 model number, and it fits the v4 router my friend has. I should be able to buy a generic dv-1280-3 power adapter and be good. My friend was given a Netgear WGT624 v4...

Ideal for connecting multiple PCs to one monitor, or hooking up your PC and your Xbox 360 at the same time. It supports the highest resolution the Xbox 360 can handle and...

    Xbox 360 VGA adapter for computer monitor

    Alright, so I've ordered the 360 VGA cable to play the 360 on my PC monitor. This one: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-VGA-HD-AV-Cable/dp/B000B6MLTG Now, I was originally planning on just getting a Y-splitter to convert the 2 RCA audios to a PC audio jack. Then I got to thinking that it would...

    Looking for a ~$500 laptop. Suggestions?

    Thanks for the info. I'm getting down to the wire between that gateway and some of the Dell refurbs. Some of those dells have 3gb of ram with the x1270 graphics, just smaller hard drives. Plus the 1 year warranty is nice.
