How do I test a lapotop power cable by
someone_else
Hi all,
What do I need to test a laptop cable? Often there is no LED on the adapter,
and I'm often left wonder well is it a broken cable, a broken adapter or is
there something broken inside the laptop. Usually I find the cable is at
fault.
thanks for any advice,
cheers!

RAID newbie by
Grinder
Does it make sense to set a PC up with an operating system drive, and
two "document drives" in a RAID1 array?
There's a practical benefit to having a seperate operating system and
document drives, and I would like the safety net of mirroring the
document drive. I just don't know if having a...

I can get a used SONY PCG-GRV550 laptop in seemingly good condition
for a good price. But, the owner says the BIOS requires a password

Upgrading Compaq F572US HDD by
Gary Brown
Hi,
Can someone tell me the maximum disk capacity for a Compaq F572US laptop?
It now has is a 80GB, 1.5GB/s SATA. 160GB would be nice. Would a 3.0GB/s
SATA show any performance improvement at all or is a 1.5GB/s interface still
1.5GB/s?
Thanks,
Gary

On CRT monitors, when the screen isn't updating, it's called the

Is there a similar term for LCD monitors when they're not drawing?
