Q:how can you make one. the one with three silver sticks. the one that looks like a mic connector. how can you make one? male3 sticks female3 holes

That's a great question. Of course buying one would be simple. But if you really want to make one it's actually very simple. The only thing I recommend you check on is the wiring of the other devices. This wiki link pretty much shows you everything. You just have to make sure the polarity is correct and of course a good ground. It's very simple, I've made a few. Good luck.

Q:I have a Dell Pentium 4 with Windows XP. I bought a Wireless USB connector so that I could access our wireless network. When I plug in the flash drive it does not come up with an icon on the toolbar as it said it should in the manual. What do you think is the error? Somebody suggested that I download Windows Service pack 2? Please help.

You dont have Windows Service Pack 2 yet? Damn!! Have you tried loading the driver?

Q:Husband replaced heater core, been frustrating. He's got dash half way on but has a connector that he cant find what it plugs into. (prob something he forgot behind whats already together) PLEASE help. It's near the wires and connectors for the heating/cooling dials, lighter etc. Its white (not good at guessing measurements) about 1 x 1.5 in. rectangle- almost square. There are 5 little kind of cone shaped plugs on it, by plugs i mean the mail parts that would plug into where ever its supposed to go. Anyone know?

Please do not suppose i am being a intelligent alec. I had a Jimmy which is similar and i have no idea how but I was once equipped to take the important thing out and the following morning after I could not get the key to turn; had to wake my husband up and get him out of bed, just to find out that I had now not put it in park the night before. So 1st, i might be certain it is in park. 2d, is the key stepping into the entire way. Is something else caught in the ignition. You probably have youngsters that is consistently a possibility. Last, in many instances for those who turn the steering wheel and get it to the lock position, the ignition will then turn. My daughters automobile is fairly fickle like that and will get me very pissed off oftentimes. Excellent good fortune!!

Q:I have 3 colours red, blue and yellow, I would like to know what the ampage rating of theese connectors, I have checked for the rating printed/imbossed on the side but no luck!Thanks!

The different colors on the crimp connectors is so you crimp the yellow connector with the yellow crimp notch on the hand crimper. The reason is, if you crimp a yellow connector in the red notch of the crimper, it will squeeze it too tight. Too tight of a crimp will damage the plastic insulation on the connector. If you crimp a red one in the yellow notch, the crimp will be too loose.

Q:I just got a new PSU today (My previous one was dead when I bought it). It came with an 8-pin EPS 12V connector and a 4-pin ATX 12V connector. My motherboard supports both. I have a Intel i7 930 core. I've heard that I could plug in either one and it would still boot up, but I've also heard that plugging in the wrong one would either fry the CPU or cause instability. Which one should I plug in?PSU: Antec EarthWatt 500W

If you have both, plug in the 8-pin EPS connector. It definitely won't hurt. It only makes a difference when you get into extreme overclocking (4+ GHz) and you start pulling ridiculous amounts of current through the CPU. The 130W Thermal Design Power of that processor isn't a maximum value, it's the normal, heatsink design level for running at stated clock speeds. Under extreme overclocking and overvolting, those silly processors can pull twice that much - assuming you have an extreme cooling system that keeps the cpu from burning up. At stock speeds, the 4 pin connector (rated for 150W @ 12V) is more than adequate.

Q:i just bought a new psu from tiger direct and hooked it all up come to find out that my mother board has a p4-mb connection slot but the power supply doesnt have any 4 pin connectors how can i solve this problem do i need a different psu?

Check your connectors CAREFULLY. There is probably a 8-pin connector that breaks apart (it just slides apart) to make (2) 4-pin connectors. It would be unusual to see a power supply that has an 8-pin connector but no 4-pin connector. The usual configuration is a 4+4 connector that you can slide apart if you need to.

Q:I have an hp pavilion dv9000 laptop. It has no hard drive so I'm putting my hard drive in it from my Compaq presario CQ60 laptop in the pavilion. I believe I need a hard drive connector to do that. Does it matter what kind of connector I need? Also where can I buy them? I need to know places offline that sell them like walmart best buy etc.

1. the dv9 takes 2.5'' SATA hard drives in a special caddy. 2. the CQ60 will have the same type of drive, but not the caddy. 3. without the caddy you are likely to damage the connectors. 4. you can get the caddy off e,bay - see link . 5. SATA drive connections are fairly delicate, so take care putting it together. 6. if the new drive has a larger capacity than the dv9 original the machine may possibly overheat. 7. good luck.

Q:I need to know if this will work on TV, I like if I put a movie in my computer can I watch on my TV screen. also do I need something else.Thank you:

At a minimum, I would imagine, you might be able to do it using WMP as a player, connecting the ouput of your video card with an s-video connector to the s-video input on your tv, and the audio output (2 stereo jacks or composite) from the pc to the audio input of your tv.

Q:if I buy a desktop from say Dell or Acer, can I get swap out the included PSU with my own, or do they use proprietary connectors?

They aren't proprietary, but there are a couple different types of connectors for motherboards. If they're roughly the same age, you're probably all set. Some have 20 pin, some have a 4 pin connected, some the 4 pin is away from the main connection. Another thing to be aware of is the connecions for drives. For the most part you will see 1.5 SATA, 3.6 SATA, and IDE data connections, and SATA and P4 power connections. You can get adaptors that will go from IDE/3.5 Sata and P4 to 1.5 SATA connections though. BUt yeah, they aren't proprietary. It just depends on the motherboard and drives you need to connect

Q:got a hd monitor and can play using this, only flaw is there is no sound as i cannot plug in the red and white connector in. any help

VGA cables don't have sound, in basic terms image. this means that utilising in basic terms the vga cable in basic terms image is obtainable. in the journey that your hdtv is by and massive a working laptop or pc video exhibit with audio device, there could be an audio enter linked with the VGA enter. you will might desire to connect the sound connectors to it. An adaptor could be mandatory, which converts the crimson and white phono right into a stereo 3.5mm adaptor.
