7601.	Solve : about my earbuds....?
Answer» I've got a pair of sony earbuds but the sound only COMES out of one side. It's something to do with the earbuds themselves I think, as I've tested on portable cd player and my computer with same result. It doesn't bother me that the sound only comes from one side, but if I could be fixed, that would be cool ^_^One of the wires is probably broken. Probably can't be fixed.Quote from: quaxo on January 24, 2008, 12:38:58 PM One of the wires is probably broken. Probably can't be fixed. ahh, it can though, i have done it multiple times. if its a wire, it can be fixed, if its the speaker itself, then you will need to purchase NEW earbuds, unless of course, you HAPPEN to have a spare earbud that you could SOLDER on. you will need to find a spot that is subject to excessive flexing and/or has exposed wire showing, as this would be the most likely place where a wire break could occur. the most USUAL places for the wires to break, due to excessive flexing, would be at the point of entry in the earbuds themselves or the point of entry in the audio jack. you can purchase new jacks if the break in the wire is too close to the jack. if you do plan on soldering, just take note that the wire is covered in a thin layer of laquer. before soldering the wire you will need to sand off the laquer insulation to expose the bare copper.It's easier just to buy a new pair.Thanks for the info guys. I already did buy a new pair.

Answer»

I've got a pair of sony earbuds but the sound only COMES out of one side. It's something to do with the earbuds themselves I think, as I've tested on portable cd player and my computer with same result.

One of the wires is probably broken. Probably can't be fixed.

ahh, it can though, i have done it multiple times. if its a wire, it can be fixed, if its the speaker itself, then you will need to purchase NEW earbuds, unless of course, you HAPPEN to have a spare earbud that you could SOLDER on.

you will need to find a spot that is subject to excessive flexing and/or has exposed wire showing, as this would be the most likely place where a wire break could occur. the most USUAL places for the wires to break, due to excessive flexing, would be at the point of entry in the earbuds themselves or the point of entry in the audio jack. you can purchase new jacks if the break in the wire is too close to the jack.

if you do plan on soldering, just take note that the wire is covered in a thin layer of laquer. before soldering the wire you will need to sand off the laquer insulation to expose the bare copper.It's easier just to buy a new pair.Thanks for the info guys. I already did buy a new pair.

7602.	Solve : Online chat tool --- I really need help?
Answer» OK, so I've been working on this problem since THURSDAY. I am in an online class and I need to access a live chat. I get the following error message while trying to connect to the chat: Error: Connecting to angel.usp.edu:5222 failed. Ensure outgoing traffic is not blocked on port 5222. Please try again later and contact an administrator if this problem persists. The suspects and the actions I've taken are as follows: Verizon (internet service PROVIDER): it is not their problem as the problem with the computer existed in the library while drawing off of their internet service The university server: it is not their problem because nobody else on or off campus has this problem McAfee (security): I tried with all firewalls off and the problem still existed Dell telephone tech support: not their problem I tried booting in safe mode and got the same error message. By the way, I am working with a Dell Inspiron 600m with Windows Home XP.Are you connected through a router? It might have a built-in firewall that's blocking the port. Also McAfee is a poor choice when it comes to antivirus programs, to say the LEAST. Get AVG Free and a free firewall, I use Comodo.I have an actiontec modem and we connect via cable modem. I am not sure if there is a router within the modem. if this, indeed, was the problem, do you have any recommendations for resolving it? Go to start, click run. Type in "cmd" and hit enter. At the prompt, type in "ipconfig". There should be a number labeled default gateway. Type that number into the address bar in your browser. If it asks for a username/password try "admin" for username and leave the password BLANK. If that doesnt work try "admin" for username and password. It'll open up a PAGE, look for something that says firewall.

7617.	Solve : Web Site Lets Geeks Trade Beta-Testing Invitations?
Answer» AP- Tuesday , August 21, 2007 NEW YORK — As many techies know, getting in on a hot new startup's invite-only "beta" test can be tough. Some resort to posting pleas on their blogs, others beg friends of friends and — as best illustrated with the slow rollout of Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Gmail service in 2004 — some are even willing to purchase invites through eBay Inc.'s (EBAY) auction site. But with the July launch of InviteShare, things might get a little easier for those aching to pass the online equivalent of the velvet rope outside the trendy nightclub. InviteShare connects users who have or want access to new Internet offerings, including the online TV service Joost and GrandCentral, a one-phone-number-for-life communications service owned by Google. Although some sites open beta testing to ANYONE to raise awareness and work out glitches, many initially limit access to a select HANDFUL, creating a certain cachet through their scarcity. Many Internet users, particularly the tech-savvy early adopters, clamor for access to such invite-only sites, considering them a peek into what could be the next best thing on the Web. On InviteShare, users register for free and then submit their e-mail addresses to lists kept at the site for particular startups to which they want access. Those with spare invites respond directly to individuals and are encouraged to give priority to users listed higher — those who have done their part in the past to share similar invites. The site tries to thwart spam by posting the address lists as image files, something more difficult for spamming software to grab for their marketing annoyances. Created by Jeff Broderick, a computer programer and Web designer in Denton, Texas, the site was sold to tech news blog TechCrunch recently for $25,000. TechCrunch founder and editor Michael Arrington, tired of negotiating with startups for beta test invitations to pass on to his readers, said his company was already looking into creating a similar site when he discovered InviteShare. In fact, he wrote about the site on the TechCrunch blog before BUYING it. As of Monday, InviteShare corralled more than 28,000 users, who collectively sent more than 34,000 invitations. Nearly 50 different startups had LISTINGS — sometimes without the startup's blessing, though Arrington said he has yet to get a complaint. Adam Healey, co-founder and chief executive of InviteShare-listed VibeAgent, said he is happy to have his hotel-recommendation site included and has even sent invites to InviteShare users. "InviteShare provides another channel for startups to access early adopters, which is so critical in building community," he said. Healey said 10 percent of his site's traffic in the past month resulted from InviteShare. He also has used the site to get invites himself — for services like joost and social networking-focused online application suite 8apps. Eli Horne, a 21-year-old freelance Web designer in New York, has also gotten into InviteShare. So far, he has sent out about 25 invitations to various sites and gotten access to about eight new ones, including GrandCentral, he said. Horne thinks the site — which lists the most popular beta services on its FRONT page — is also a way to keep tabs on what's hot online. "If I were trying to launch a product, I would try to get it listed on there," he said. Arrington knows only of one other similar resource: A group for beta testers on social network creation site Ning, which was co-founded by Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen. And although InviteShare isn't currently a big money maker — Arrington estimates ads placed on it bring in a few hundred dollars per day — he believes there is real value is in its user base. While signing up for the site, 80 percent of users have indicated they want to be notified about future private beta opportunities, he said. Eventually, he'd like to pair startups with users, either for free or for a fee, depending on the company. "All these people want to know about all the new services," he said, "and this is a gold mine for a new startup to have access to." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293954,00.html?sPage=fnc.technology/personaltechnologyI've been tempted to purchase some beta tests, especially for some of my top highly anticipated games (e.g. Warhammer oline), but looking at the prices for many of these I can't believe any person in their right mind would pay that type of price.

Answer» They are out to get you...It cant be stopped.... Very true but I can THINK of a lot better things to do with $220,000. Some day the RIA will win a damages case against a provider of file-sharing software, that will put the brakes on.

7629.	Solve : My e-mail address is being faked---causing problems for my class. Help please!?
Answer» Okay, here is the situation. I have a one year instructorship position as a philosophy teacher at a college. Somebody, presumably a student of mine, sent out a fake e-mail to everybody in the class, except me, saying that class was canceled last WEDNESDAY (the Wed before fall break). The SENDER address was somehow FAKED, and so it looks as if it came from me. I had a student forward a copy of the email to me, but it didn't provide me with any clues. I have a few questions regarding this: #1: Is there any way I can trace this back to a real e-mail address from the copy forwarded to me? This would be the best option. #2: Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future? I would appreciate any help, since this could get out of hand very quickly. Popinjay Unfortunately, it is trivially easy to fake the address LISTED as the sender in an email. Tracing the message back to the email account used to send it will be hard. But you can get a lot of useful information from what is known as the header in an email. The header will list what IP and domain the mail was sent from. This could possibly lead you back to the culprit. How to view the header varies between email clients so its a bit hard to give specific instructions on how to do this. Furthermore you will need to examine the header on the original email since the header will be different on one forwarded to you. So if you can get a student to show you the original email I suggest you Google the name of his/hers email client and "view header". E.g. "Outlook Express view header" this should provide you with the info needed to access it. Here is some reading on headers. http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html Furthermore I'd be happy to to take a look at the header for you if you wish. Contact me via PM to arrange this. Unfortunately blocking someone from faking your address isn't currently possible. But, depending on where you live, impersonating you via email might be a crime. So if you suggest to your students that the matter will be turned over to the police, it might be enough to discourage anyone from doing it again.

7630.	Solve : Forwarding hotmail e-mails to an other hotmail account?
Answer» Alright, I recently changed my e-mail ADDRESS because my other one was 6 years OLD and very childish. But now everybody keeps sending me e-mail to my old address. is there any way how they can be automatically send to my new when they type my old? Thanks in advance Jonas Let's start with the basics. Did you notifiy everybody of the change in your email address? I'd check with my ISP to see whether they had an email forwarding option. Of course, that should be a temporary fix; you should still notify everyone of the change. You might try an email forwarding service; see http://www.emailaddresses.com/email_forward.htm or Google for more.I did notify everyone but some people keep sending to the old address. BTW: Its an @hotmail.com domain. I did some RESEARCH and they all say that it is IMPOSSIBLE to forward hotmail mails to an other hotmail account. Thanks for the help I didn't knew the name with the name I was able to do some research. Jonas I suggest re-sending your e-mail addy change to everyone in your address book...those who can't pay attention enough you probably don't want to hear from ANYWAYS...

7632.	Solve : I have a basic question?
Answer» what is the difference between dvd-r and dvd+r ? this is the reason i ask. i have been puting my pictures on a dvd+r and i can view them find on my computer but none of my dvd players will recognise the disk. am i using the WRONG format disk or is there a PROBLEM with my cheap dvd players? thank you in advance for your help. peterIt basically two different formats. Today most standalone dvd players should be able to read both, but some might be a bit picky about the media they'll accept. But check the manual for the dvd player to make sure it supports dvd+r discs and also that it supports reading pictures from a dvd DISC. I have HEARD of players that only supports reading mp3s or pictures from CDs.DVD-R was the first DVD recordable format released in the market. It has broader playback compatibility than the "+" especially with much older players. DVD+R is the newer format developed by Philips and Sony with their DVD+RW Alliance. Introduced after the "-" format. Because the DVD-R format has been in use since 1997, it has had a five-year lead on DVD+R. As such, older or cheaper DVD players (up to 2004 vintage) are more likely to favour the DVD-R standard exclusively. So you should stick to DVD-R disks and/or buy a newer higher-spec player.

7636.	Solve : Floppy has life of its own?
Answer» HELLO everyone the other day my floppy drive decided it needed to run I guess, every few minuts or so it turns on, lights up, makes noise, then stops, I have checked to see if something was trying to access it but did not see anything, I tried putting a floppy in to see if that helped but no good, any ideas?? THANKS DaveThanks for your help. I ran my virus protection and no that it is okay. But, will try checking in the CMOS and let you know. Thanks again.hello? sorry about the wait ok has ur drive run anything latly? Try feeding it?It's likely that something on your computer is randomly trying to access or scan the floppy drive for diskettes. Often this is caused by a virus scanners. Many virus scanners will randomly check the floppy disk drive to see if there is a diskette in the drive and if so scan the diskette for viruses. However, often this only occurs at boot or when the computer is being SHUT down. If your computer is randomly doing this frequently as your using the computer you may have some other type of program on the computer attempting to copy something on the floppy. Boot the computer in safe mode and see if the issue also occurs in safe mode. If it does then it's likely something with the floppy drive and not SOFTWARE, in which case you may wish to replace the floppy drive or live with the issue. If the issue does not happen in safe mode then there is some other program running while in normal Windows that is causing the issue. Make sure you virus scanner is up-to-date as some viruses often attempt to write themselves to any drive on the computer including the floppy drive. Otherwise see if you can determine what program you have open that is attempting to write information to the floppy drive and see if it can be disabled.Ugh.. just realized this was a 2004 post.. bumped up..

7638.	Solve : simple help...keypad on laptop?
Answer» Please advise how to turn on the keypad function on my laptop. I know its a simple set of keystrokes but I've forgotten!! I have too much numeric data to enter to be using the numbers above the alphaset. I know that there is a numeric keypad here in the right center of my alphaset as it is marked, I just can't ge the num lock to work. Using FN only allows the function on the left lower key (ex: home, pgdn, del) Please advise - this couldn't be much easier but I cannot make it happen!Don't you just press the Num Lock key? Try these steps to turn the Num Lock on or off: 1. Open a program that you can type in, such as Notepad. You can find Notepad by choosing Start --> All Programs --> ACCESSORIES --> Notepad. 2. Type I just LOVE Kimmy into Notepad. 3. Find the Num Lock LIGHT on your laptop's strip of lights. The light confirms that you're in Num Lock mode and can use the embedded numeric keypad. 4. Find the Num Lock key on your laptop's keyboard. Somewhere on your keyboard is a Num Lock key. It may be called NumLock, or NumLk, or Num, or it may even be labeled with a symbol. Locate that key. 5. Attempt to activate Num Lock. Press the Num Lock key. If nothing happens, then try Shift+Num Lock. If the text "Num Lock" is listed in a different color, find the matching color key, such as Alt or Fn. Then press that key in combination with Num Lock. You're successful when the Num Lock light comes on (if your laptop has such a light). At that point, the keyboard has switched into numeric keypad mode. 6. Try to type I just love Kimmy again. It doesn't work. You get something like: 14st 36ve 500y. That's because most of the keys on the right SIDE of the keyboard now have their numeric keypad abilities activated. It works well for entering numbers or working a spreadsheet, but you may find it rather frustrating at other times. 7. DEACTIVATE Num Lock. Press whatever key combination you used to turn Num Lock on. 8. Close Notepad. You don't need to save the document.

7639.	Solve : issues?
Answer» at one point in my life i hac a very good computer . then my operating system crashed. then my computer wouldnt recognize the drives, so i couldnt re-install the operating system, so i mix and matched, i took the hard disk off a new dell that had a fried motherboard and put it into my computer, and i also swapped out the disk drives to a dvd drive and a burner. now when i try and start my computer the activity light turns on red and nothing happens? a little help please.More info We'll need the specs on that computer Does the computer sound like it's booting up? I.e. does the fans and hard drives start spinning? Do the computer make any beeping noises? yes the fans and hard drives start up, but thats about it, i can open and close the drives, but thats it, i dont know what the specs are, i bought it used for 25 bux, all i know is the new hard drive has WINDOWS xp, and it has a pentium four processor. and two memory sticks in it and whatever else, did i POSSIBLY hook something up wrong?With anything after Win2K you cannot just swap HDD's around from machine to machine...it simply won't work. Post a lot more DETAILS on the machine and how exactly you would like it to be set up and we can go from there.. If you got a 25 dollar machine with a P4 chip you did pretty well..i bought it from my local library they where going to junk it, all it needed was a reformat and thats where i messed up, i just want it to work again, but i swapped the hdd out with the original one and it STILL didnt work, it just did the same thing. and im pretty sure my disk drives wouldnt have any effect on that would they.As i said state clearly what your goals for the machine are ...what OS ? what drives ? ? and we can assist further. What Windows OS are you attempting to install etc...the new hdd has windows xp home , the old one dont have an os period, i was going to install either xp home or milenium what ever one i have sitting in my room, the drives are a dvdrom, and a cd rewriteable blah blah blah im not hardware smart i know about keeping themrunning and programs and stuff but it ends thereSince it is a second hand machine your best bet is to choose what hard drive you want to boot from, install it and format and do a clean install of whatever flavor of Windows you choose. Anything else and you will be spinning your wheels. After you get a clean install of Windows up and running i would DLoad, install and run Everest Home and use it to locate all the appropiate drivers for that machine especially the MBoard drivers... Good Luck and let us know.but thats the whole problem, there is nothing. the activity light in the tower is red stays red the screens stays black the monitor light dont even turn green it stays orange. i cant do a thing untill this problem is fixed.Read your first post and see if you would be confused... All i can tell right now is a bunch of drives have been swapped into a machine that came from a library and it's still not working. If i missed something i apologise.ok i can understand why your confused. your probably just as confused as me. here is the scenario. when i try to power up my computer, nothing happens. it turns on, the drives power up and start spinning, but nothing happens. i dont know how to explain this, but on a normal working computer, there is a green light with a cylinder looking symbol by it, some times it turns orange some times its green. well on mine its red. nothing shows up on the monitor, or anything else. i can still open and close my rom drives, but i dont get anything on the monitor. and i know its not the monitor because i have hooked up different ones and still nothing shows up on them there is no activity in my computer, is it posible that when i took my PROCESSER out it screwed something up? some wires where under the bracets so i had to take it out to get them out.The red light means the hard drive is not being read properly... It's either hooked up incorrectly; the jumpers aren't set properly or the drive itself is no good and has failed.well the jumpers are not it, and the drive worked right at one point but now it wont. i switched the jumpers and thepower connections and still nothing, but now the red light dont come on, butnothing is showing up on my moniter and the moeter light is orange but i dont get anylights on the computer eccept one gren light on the motherboard by my proccesser.

7641.	Solve : WWW1?
Answer» When I insert some web addresses as - http://www.etc - then CLICK to find, the web address sometimes appears as http://www1etc Where does this 1 come from? why is it there? is there a problem? What web browser are you using? How about your operating system and memory and other hardware specs? Check for updates for your software as well as spyware and viruses. Of COURSE, without more information, all we can do is do a whole LOT of bad guessing.Some sites uses this because they have multiple servers (in order to handle high loads). So the site could have servers on sub domains called www1, www2, www3, etc and then it balances server load by redirecting visitors to one of these sub domains. One example that utilizes this method is http://cd-wow.com. So unless you're experiencing a problem I would say this was quite normal.Deerpark, Thanks for that information, its put my MIND at rest. I wasn't sure if someone was hijacking and redirecting my input. Now at least I feel a little safer. Michaewlewis, I've got a relatively new computer - Advent T9408. IntelCore 2CPU, 1022MB, 1.8gH, 320GB, with Windows vista, using the latest versions of explorer etc., have automatic updates enabled and scan every day for ANYTHING untoward, I'm also using Norton 360 which I find easy (but uninformative) - A bit like vista defragmenting! Thanks again

7642.	Solve : Unwanted website listings?
Answer» Hey FOLKS, Maybe I can get some help here. My son came to me with a problem a while ago. My son loves porn sites. He ASKED me if I know a way to delete the temporary internet files. I told him to open up the internet and open up tools. Click on internet options and delete the temporary internet files and cookies. His girlfriend came home that night and did something on the computer and noticed that he has been to some porn sites. (He is now in trouble) I am wondering how did she find those when I had him delete the temporary internet files and cookies? I am puzzled. Can someone explain to me how she found out about the sites? Thanks, JeffYou may have cleaned up the temporary internet files, but you neglected to mention History of visited web pages. If you didn't clear the History...there are still tracks to sites he has visited.In addition to Saviour's good advice. 'As always'. You could download CCleaner. http://majorgeeks.com/download4191.html I USE a program I bought by WebRoot called Window Washer. It is also a good idea for him to not go there if his girlfriend would be hurt,or offended.how about you tell your kid to CONTROL himself You should also tell him to disable AutoComplete. IE>Tools>Internet Options>Content>AutoComplete>UNCHECK all boxesThe best way for him to cover his tracks is to not do it.

7644.	Solve : Phone off hook?
Answer» I have HP Officejet Pro L7780 All in one . On the little screen it reads "phone off hook" I have a seperate line for fax. Cand anyone help?So what you are saying is that you are trying to PRINT, but that little screen pops up whenever you click "print"? You need to go to your control panel, then to Printers and Faxes. Find the printer you want to use, and right-click it. Then click Set As Default.No that is not the ISSUE. I can print, but cannot fax. On the little screen on my printer it reads at all times "phone off hook." I am not aware of any changes being made. I have a seperate line for my fax line and all SEEMS normal and customary. Thanks Could just be a phone line issue...check the phone line(s) connected to your all-in-one. If necessary, if this line runs to more than one location in the house...see if that line is in use or ANOTHER phone is off the hook. You can also TRY removing the line from the wall jack and then plug it back in. You can also unplug the all-in-one and turn it back on again.No that is not the issue either. I have tried all of those things. Thank you for your suggerstions.

7645.	Solve : moving lines on computer?
Answer» what do these moving lines on my COMPUTER mean? what can i do? have already scanned for viruses.Welcome to the CH forums. It's a bit difficult for us to see the lines but they could be caused by a defective monitor or video card or EVEN just the monitor connections - have you tried unplugging/replugging?. Can you swap monitors for a trial? (don't try that with a LAPTOP). Can you describe the problem a bit more for us?

Answer» I just got an old laptop with no os installed. I am trying to load an os, however the pc doesn't recognize the CD drive. I can only get ms dos to come up. Can SOMEONE please help me?What are the system specs (processor speed, RAM installed, ect.)? You probably need to set the BOOT order in the BIOS.I really could not tell you any specs except for it is a compaq armada 1550. when i turn it on it shows 81920kb ok. it does have an intel pentium prcessor, but guessing it's not dual! In fact I can't even get into the bios at startup Which version of Windows are you attempting to INSTALL?I am attempting win2k.Do you still have the manual for the laptop? It should have instructions on it on how to access the BIOS.

Assuming you're selling it with the screen I'd probably expect something of that specification to be priced anywhere from $1,000.00 to $1,300.00, my currency (New Zealand Dollars). Maybe you could take a look around eBay for auctions with similar computers. Best of luck with the sale, If you're selling it.for your sake id keep it i bet you could sell it on craigslist or ebay for US$400 - US$500 if it were a little newer mobo and cpu, maybe $600 Dont sell your computer !!
