My Dad has the 1TB version and the only complaint is that the micro USB 3.0 connector on the cable goes loose. The clamps don't clamp at all.

This used to happen on my age old Compaq Presario C505. It had metal speaker grilles and back then we had faulty earthing at home. I used to get a shock at the speaker grilles. We fixed the earthing, the issue went away and the laptop is still working after 6 years. The thing I don't...

Take care of the USB connector on the HDD. That is the thing that fails first. Any brand.

Re: Need a lightweight but powerful laptop with great battery backup and SSD required - Budget 40k-6 If you don't need a GPU you can get it even cheaper.

Turns out, it is my HDD who is the issue. I connected a friend's WD passport and it worked fine. Then connected my hdd to his laptop. It died within seconds of starting copying

Re: Need a lightweight but powerful laptop with great battery backup and SSD required - Budget 40k-6 Asus S46 or the Asus S56 or the K55 and the X55. All thin light and cheap. I am using the S46CM with third gen i5 and GT650m and I play games too. Played NFS Most Wanted 2012 at high, NFS rivals...

New discovery: I have this cable, it has a USB 2.0 male on one side and USB 2.0 female on the other side and is almost 15cm in length. An extension. I used that to connect the HDD and it works. Although slow. So this is not a power issue I guess. Or is it?

Yes. Other than providing battery backup, it did everything. Line filter AVR and what not. Whenever there was a fluctuation, I could hear it click. That thing has a HTPC drawing power through it. My place used to have a lot of fluctuation 2 years ago. Nothing happened to the TV and the HTPC...

I used a Aplab PowerBook UPS with a dead battery for my Samsung Series 5 LCDTV back in India. I didn't replace the battery as I found it very convenient to leave the UPS power switch to ON and just use the wall socket switch to turn the thing ON. LOL! It is still working flawlessly and its been...

@Silverlight: I guess they're talking about internal drives in the blog, but still, WD external HDDs fail at the mini and micro USB ports. Earlier drives could be put to use by swapping out the casing, but the newer ones have the micro USB ports soldered on to the PCB and it takes a lot of skill...

So is it totally a power related issue?

Hello all, I am facing a weird issue with my external HDD. Whenever I connect it to the USB 3.0 port on my laptop, it is detected. But as soon as I access it be it read/write, I get the error location not found especially when copying files on to the hard disk. It doesn't vanish from My...

Cost? Is sapphire really more reliable than Xfx or any other brand? I am looking for a robust card that will not get damaged easily. I don't care how big it is or how much noise it makes. It should last really long.

So my Display card is dead.... which one to buy now? 3.5k max budget.Config is G41+Pentium D 3.4GHz+2GB DDR2+VIP GOLD 400 Also, Which is the most reliable GFX card brand?

Tried re-installing the card and starting the system that way. The POST messages remain in weird color and Windows 7 loads in 640*480

I have a XFX 8400GS on a Gigabyte G41 chipset motherboard running a Pentium D 3.4GHz with 2 x 1GB DDR2 533 RAM powered by a VIP Gold 400W PSU. Today I was watching a simple DivX movie and suddenly the video froze and audio was like krrrrrr... I tried alt+ctrl+del but nothing happened. The...

No. the sound card is anESS 1938 chipset. It has the driver for the same. Only the application[ jsut like realtek sound effect manager] that I found with the Cmedia card worked for mine too.

Finally found a solution. Used a C-media driver from intex website that had an audio config app that worked for this soundcard too.

I've been using PCs for the last 9 years now. I know how to access the sound settings from the control panel. But the page where we select speaker type as we used to in winXP is nowhere to be seen in Windows 7.

Sir the page you specfied talks about level adjustment and the System Sounds scheme. Not 5.1 mode selection.
