Thanks lucky star and spitfire. Since opinions were divided, I decided to take out the power supply and check (and clean the years of accumulated muck as well). I found out that the power supply was a VIP 150W!!! (Guess the assembler really stiffed me five years back). In any case, decided...

Hi, I have an old PC (P4 1.7, 845GL MB, 1GB RAM, 2 optical drives and 2 hard drives). The PC is about 4-5 years old, and I bought it assembled, so I really don't know the power supply wattage (i'm assuming 200-250 W) nor can I see any rating on the power supply without disassembling the PC...

Hi, I have an old Acer 3300U which stopped working and started making some clicking noises. On opening it up, I found out that the belt was loose. Is it possible to get a new belt for the scanner? Where in Mumbai? I don't really want to buy a new scanner since my use is very occasional. If...

Thanks Vivek, useful information; shall definitely keep that in mind when I'm buying my next TV after HDTV content comes to India; for the moment though, I am very happy with my purchase - like I said, I only intend to watch TV / the usual DVDs on it. It may be useful for other members who...

Thanks everyone for the recommendations - was leaning towards the Samsung myself (because of the price/performance ratio - can't justify to myself the Sony premium) but finally ended up buying a Philips 32TA1600 today - picture quality seemed good and Vijay Sales in Mumbai kicked in a Philips...

Hi, I plan to buy a 32" LCD television this weekend and need your advice. I would like to choose the one with the best price/performance ratio, not the cheapest or the most expensive. Which one, and how much? (Mumbai) Other points: 1. Must be wall mountable 2. I'm not planning to use it...

Thanks a lot, all of you - you have certainly given me a lot to think about. adityagenius - thanks for pointing out the savings on the 946 m/b over the 965 - I do need firewire for my videocam but I presume I can reuse the PCI firewire card from my current pc / pick up a new one for Rs. 250...

Hi Am planning to go in for a new computer. I'm not an overclocker but would want to use the computer for the next 3-4 years. I have not yet decided how much I want to spend but would like some advice on the following similarly priced processor choices (which should I go for at each price...

I am thinking of going in for a new PC but would like to use my old HDD (IDE) (lots of data on it) in it as well as two DVD drives. Given that most new motherboards have only one IDE cable (2 devices), I could only think of the following solution. Connect my current HDD and DVD drive on the...

Shared internet connection laptop and desktop Hi, You can use a wireless router cum access point for this. I bought a Netgear WGR614 for Rs. 2375 from Lamington Road. The RJ 45 from your modem plugs into the router. Upto 4 desktops/printer/whatever else also plug into the wired ports of the...

DLP Projector for home use Hi, I am looking to buy a DLP projector for home cinema use and have a few questions. 1. Is there any major problem with using a business projector for home use; they seem to be cheaper? 2. Found an old (2005) news release about Acer bundling PD 113 projector...

Thanks Ankur Thanks for your help Ankur. Turned out to be an ip address conflict between my router and the modem, so was able to resolve with the help of Netgear support. Extremely annoying, however, that Netgear should not have even addressed the problem in their documentation / setup CD.

Purchased a Netgear WGR614 wireless router today. While trying to set it up on my PC (wired connection), found that I am unable to access "www.routerlogin.com" as mentioned in the setup CD. So basically I can't even configure the router, let alone use it to share my DSL access with my laptop...

Thanks warrior, mediator Thanks guys, but it turned out to be a simple solution after all. Just ran ipconfig on my desktop to find out ip address and subnest mask and then set my laptop to that ip address+1 and same subnet mask. Everything ok now, but i'm guessing that I will have to reset my...

I wanted to backup data from my laptop to my desktop; hence bought a crossover cable to connect the two. When I connected the cable, however, the laptop showed as connected; the desktop showed limited connectivity. When I tried to use the network set up wizard (as in the digit tutorial), I did...

thanks a ton for the help
