    Computer wont power up

    Easy way to test your power supply unplug it from ac and mobo take a paper clip and jumper the green wire to the grey wire, plug the ac back in,if it turns on that means the power is good. Its most likly a dead mobo, even if no caps are burnt up it dosnt take much to fry one of those...

    Who's right???

    1st. Swap out the video card it could be that 2nd if the video card didnt fix the rpbolem check all of the voltages on the PSU, the powersupply can turn all of the fans on and still be bad. It needs a signal (power good) to fully turn the system on, i've seen about 20 PSUs at my job that...

    Need help with a LED resistor...

    just remeber to add up the current of each branch to get the total and make sure you dont go over the power supplys max on the 12v rail also why only 1 resistor on each path in parallel voltage is the same on each branch thats on parallel to each other. So in that setup theyd all get 12v...

    Need help with a LED resistor...

    I was just using the source voltage as an example Also if you wire these up in parallel you can put more then 3 on a line Because in a parallel circuit voltage is the same accross each branch. So if you have 5 branches each line will get 12v then you cabn have a resistor and 3 leds on...

    Need help with a LED resistor...

    The optimum settings are 3.5v 20mA peak current so using ohms law V / I = R 12 / .02 = 600Ohms If i were wiring that up i'd go - negative - LED - LED -LED - 600ohm resistor - Posiive 12v /\ - LED - LED -LED - 600ohm resistor - Posiive 12v /\ - LED - LED -LED - 600ohm...

    Help new A64 system won't boot - it beeps

    now that its summed up to a memory issue, if your sure its seated right then you can have some bad ram sticks. The amount of static electrcity it takes to actually fry one of those ICs is so small you would never actually feel the shock. Since you have 2 sticks just try them 1 at a time

    Instead of just guessing on what it is do you happen to know what bios you have. If so you can look up the bios beep code and it'll basically tell you what to look for. I'm surprised no one mentioned this already its one of the first things you learn to do in a+ You can find the bios...

    Should I fix and repair or go new?? The things We Go Through :(

    I'd upgrade scavange what you can sell it for money to fund the new systemand not look back. And being an electronics technician i hate this idea of water cooling, water + electronics equals system dead. it only takes one liuttle leak to kill your system. I like the idea of having massive...
