    Have an old Klipsch 4.1 speaker system? Did it die? I bet you can fix it!

    Thread necromancy here! I just attempted this repair and in my rusty, sleepy state, I grabbed a 47-ohm resistor instead of 47k and dropped it into R26. Obviously, it didn't work--the fuse blew in a glorious show of light. At this point, I'm game for replacing it again with the correct...

    Official BenQ FP241VW (not FP241W) Thread. Reviews and Pics

    So far, no luck on the display stands independent of the product itself, but if anyone here would ever be willing to part with the bulky wonder, perhaps some form of payment could be arranged. To reiterate, I'm looking to acquire an extra base (control module not necessary) from which to begin...

    Official BenQ FP241VW (not FP241W) Thread. Reviews and Pics

    I sent an email to BenQ asking if they have any thoughts on sourcing a pair of display stands. I'd also be curious about finding the differences between the FP241W and FP241VW inner structure. It seems probable that they are mechanically very similar, with the control modules relocated to the...

    Seeking a decent traditional gamut 24" with bonus babbling

    Having purchased a Soyo 24D6 and a BenQ FP241VW, I give the BenQ my strongest recommendation for purchase. The stand may be silly in a dual-monitor arrangement, but the display is fantastic. Once I configured the brightness to appropriate levels and made some slight color changes, it was...

    Official BenQ FP241VW (not FP241W) Thread. Reviews and Pics

    Seems my my post was eaten by the great internet gremlins. I'm looking to do a stand amputation on my FP241VW with the hope of making it more VESA-friendly, similar to what 10e did with his model. In all likelihood, I'll be eliminating the USB ports entirely in an effort to simplify the...

    SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 Official Thread

    Bam! Proud owner of a thoroughly used Soyo Topaz D6 here. It's definitely a VA panel, armed with no dead pixels and a vigorous break-in period as the display for our store. The Omax employee discount was finally worth something. ;) When it went on clearance, I snatched it up as fast as I could.

    BenQ FP241VW Deal

    Funny that you mention it today. I just purchased one last night at $450 before shipping. Not a bad deal, but certainly a nice extra percentage off :p

    Seeking a decent traditional gamut 24" with bonus babbling

    the NEC and Eizo are both high on my "want" list, but are too far above my range of affordability to be considered viable options. I managed to get the dell at $480, so it was quite a steal for me. The BenQ is increasingly difficult to find new, but I've been looking around. I'll most...

    Seeking a decent traditional gamut 24" with bonus babbling

    So here goes the post. I've spent some time over the past few months dwelling over an upgrade for my workstation. I did the research, attempted to design a system around my usage habits and optimized the entire environment to best fit what I believed I'd be trying to do. Part of my plan was...

    sRGB LCD? HP LP2475w, Samsung 245T, or other?

    I purchased a Dell 2408WFP a few days back with the intention of both designing for sRGB and general use. Regrettably, the gamut on this display is so wide that it simply makes casual use in non-profiled applications unbearable. Reds and greens are both severely blown out (as one would...

    Domains, Migrating them, and the stuff between

    First off, thanks for the responses. It can sometimes be difficult to get good information from the cloud of minds that is the internet. Anyhoo, I was lassoed by the boss this evening and during the time I was expecting to be configuring the server, was forced to sit and listen to an only...

    Domains, Migrating them, and the stuff between

    Well, my preference would be to avoid seizing and instead do a proper transition, removing the corrupt users and any damaged data before the attempt, but I'm not opposed to it. Would this allow the original domain controller to remain (technically) active a drop-in backup if the need arises...

    Domains, Migrating them, and the stuff between

    So domains aren't usually my territory, but I believe I have a functional understanding of this manner of system. Anyway, the problems I'm encountering (seemingly) simple ones offset by the fact that I am, for all intents and purposes, completely green when it comes to domains. The local...

    Troubleshooting boot problems following addition of SATA drive

    Sort of a bump. Decisions need to be made and two options exist. The drive in question can either be fit into an external USB enclosure which *is* confirmed as being compatible with the drive, or it can be returned and exchanged for a product of greater compatibility. However, I'm curious...

    Troubleshooting boot problems following addition of SATA drive

    Samsung Spinpoint F1 750gb, Model No. HD753LJ I've been reading cases where people do actually appear to have this drive working on the board (Asus K8V-X, VIA K8T800 NB, VIA VT8237 SB), but this evidence only manifested itself after purchase. Anyway, an exchange seems likely. If anyone could...

    Troubleshooting boot problems following addition of SATA drive

    This is a brand new drive. It is likely unformatted, but the problem is far more simple: It simply is not being properly detected by the computer. While I cannot verify this, the board in question does not appear to offer a list of drives detected by the SATA controller, thus making it...

    Troubleshooting boot problems following addition of SATA drive

    Well, Followup time. Turns out, there was never any SDB showing up under linux. Miscommunication paved the way for needless experimentation and wordy forum posts. So now I need to figure out what the root problem is and go from there. Is it the motherboard? Is it the HDD? *sigh* Could a...

    Troubleshooting boot problems following addition of SATA drive

    That's a damned good point. I wonder if the OS could be failing to attempting to address the drive at that point during the boot and failing miserably. Of course, not being there is making this a real nightmare ;) I need to confirm whether or not Ubuntu recognized the drive. Edit 1: BSOD...

    Attempting to troubleshoot rendering glitches...

    I don't usually prefer to bump my own threads, but a lack of apparent views and replies leaves me little choice. It seems like the tv-out connector may have been causing something, but it isn't quite certain. Unplugging the tv-out module has resulted in the problems not returning as of yet...

    Attempting to troubleshoot rendering glitches...

    Howdy, folks. I come here with ears open for thoughts on the following issue. The card in question is an a passively cooled Gigabyte 8600GTS running at stock clock speeds and was previously chugging along fairly happily until recently. The owner of the system largely plays Battlefield 2 at...

    BSOD in XP install,"Unmountable_boot_volu me"

    I return with updates. Today's experiment was a simple substitution of the source drive for installation. I tried a known-good DVD/CD-RW combo drive. Lo and behold, it worked! Went right on through with no problems. We'll see how much further it gets with time, but no problems thus far...

    Repairing an LCD (Sony SDM-HS93)

    I had stumbled over the Powernet website earlier, but by inability to speak the language has made finding details a bit difficult. And as far as I can tell, there is no matching controller board on the earthlcd site. hmm.

    Repairing an LCD (Sony SDM-HS93)

    So I got my hands on a freebie 19" LCD. It's a beautiful display...nearly perfect in every way...or at least it would be if it worked. It was going to be tossed, but the issue seems to be one of either two modules: The video controller or the power supply. the LCD itself is perfect. Here's...

    KDS Rad 7 mysterious flickering/black out

    I am having this problem and I have trouble pinning down the cause. My 3 year old KDS Rad 7 17" LCD monitor works perfectly fine. Except when I play the game "Guild Wars", or a specific minigame in Sid Meier's Pirates. What happens (at random points in time) is lines of tearing and distortion...

    Is there any chance you could elaborate on how the noise and distortion was removed? A number of my aurora shots produced centered rings that were quite distracting.

    Well, my free capacity generally rises and falls depending on how I allocate my files. I'll jump between 1.5 or 2 gb to just under a megabyte on occasion (usually because I just don't think about the sizes of my transfers :D I'll investigate talking to samsung about it. I'd hope I'm not...
