Q:I recently purchased a new power cable for my HP laptop (v6000 series) due to the disappearance of my old one. When I first plugged in the laptop, I noticed that it did not charge. I thought this might just be due to the fact that the battery has been dead for an extensive amount of time, but after leaving the computer plugged in over night, nothing has changed.What can I do to make my laptop's battery charge?Do I need to have a more powerful power cable?Thank you all for your help.

by power cable im assuming you made sure to purchase the correct model, and that you mean the cable, along with the transformer connected to it? (ac plug transformer cord laptop) if everything's plugged in, your charge icon on your laptop should let you know with some sort of animated plugged in/charging icon. if the charger is known to be good, then unfortunately you may have a loose/bad dc receptacle in your laptop. the port where you plug in the cable sometimes comes loose from wear and tear and the connection fails. try gently jiggling it around to see if it comes on when its plugged in. if it is bad, you can take it to a computer tech shop and they can fix it. just a thought.

Q:I'm installing my car audio system in the morning. I have a 650w 4 channel amp for my four interior speakers and a class D monoblock amp for my sub.I have an 8awg wiring kit. If I split that to use it on both amps, it would end up at 16awg going to the amps. Is this thick enough for my setup?

1. We can't answer without knowing more about your amplifiers. 650w 4 channel doesn't tell us anything useful, because the power rating may be a peak number that's only good for marketing, and you didn't tell us anything about the monoblock amplifier at all. Give us brand and model numbers and we might be able to help. 2. If I split that to use it on both amps, it would end up at 16awg going to the amps ....no. That's now how it works. (I'm not sure how you envision splitting the wire to make two wires that are half the size; are you cutting it down the middle with a razor?) You can use a distribution block to connect both amplifiers to the same main power wire, but you don't have to go to a smaller wire out of the d-block: you can run 8-gauge wire from the battery to the distribution block, then more 8-gauge from the d-block to each amp. 3. Even if you did cut the 8-gauge wire in half, a wire half the size of 8-gauge isn't 16-gauge. It's 11-gauge. If you put six 16-gauge wires together, you'd get a wire that's a little smaller than 8-gauge. Please edit your question with the brand and model numbers of both amplifier, along with the estimated length of the wire run (ie, how many feet of wire do you need to go between the amps and the battery?) Then we can tell you what gauge wire you need. Edit: thanks for the update. Based on the information about your amplifiers, I don't think you should run both of them from the single 8-gauge wire. I'd switch to a 4-gauge dual amp kit, or you can buy a second 8-gauge kit and run each amp with its own power wire to the battery rather than sharing a single wire.

Q:I need a longer power cable for my xbox 360 dvd drive, can anyone tell me where I can find out on OKorder?Or what its called? I type in dvd drive power cables on OKorder, but only the short stock ones show up I need one with about 10 inches or so.Thanks!Can these be found in radioshack?

try looking at a game store like Game Stop or check with the manufacturer

Q:When I say different types, I mean different types of Xbox 360 203 watt power cables. And I know that my xbox 360 is compatible with 203 watt power cables.

No, it really doesn't matter. All xbox 360's can use the 203W power supply. Though you can not use the 175w or 150w power supply with a 203w xenon motherboard xbox. There are 2 different types of 203w power supply, there's a 2 pin and a 3 pin. It really doesn't matter which one you get, one is grounded and one isn't.

Q:can i cut my computer Power Supply cables/USB and HDD cable to add an extension myself? They're all short.

No chance in hell. besides the fact you would have to extend the wires in the data cables with the EXACTLY same lenght, the chances to break the shielding is 100%. Not mentioning the fact that the power cables do not support the extra load given by makeshift connectors.

Q:Recently I bought a EVGA Geforce 8800 GTS. When it came in, the card fits in my case but has 2 cables to plug in. I only have 1 cable to plug them in connected to my power supply. Should i only plug in 1, or is it nessesary? Is there an extra one I just dont know about? Please answer!

After looking at several 8800GTS's online, I don't see any that require two PCIe six pin plugs. This means I think your talking about the 4 pin molex adapter to be used by those that lack a 6 pin PCIe plug. Because this is a powerful card and it can't get enough electrical power to run from the socket, it needs more juice, and it gets it from the 6 pin PCIe power plug found on newer PSUs. For people that don't have that, many places include an adapter that you can use. If you don't have enough open/free molex plugs however, I question whether or not your PSU has enough power to feed the 8800GTS. What PSU do you have? How many Amps are on the 12V rail? Open your case up and see if you can read the sticker that should be on all power supplies. If you don't have enough open plugs, I would NOT use a splitter. Splitters can be used to hook up several low power devices (like fans) not high power devices like video cards.

Q:the contant power cables go to my car alarm, led lights, siren, power locks, power windows, and alarm bypass... they are very small thin awg wires... the ignition and constant power cables under ignition housing are alot thicker... is this possible with no problems?

confident, you're able to do this. make beneficial each and every capability twine has its own fuse close to the battery. Addressing the different solutions: this won't drain the battery any quicker than working a single twine to a distribution block; and there isn't any might desire to characteristic a 2d battery except you intend to play the gadget for long classes without the engine working.

Q:What type of power cable does the ps3 take? I found a very good deal on craigslist, but it doesnt come with a power cord. Does ps3 take the standard 3 prong cable, like xbox 360? Or is it a special kind? And do all of the versions of ps3 take the same kind?

the ps3 does take that standard 3 prong cable.

Q:can i use this to power a pcie x16 card in a pcie x1 slot

I doubt it will provide full power. You care better off using a PCI-Express x 1 video card, forget about x16...

Q:In the wire and cable factory, will be marked on the wire and cable voltage level, I would like to ask the current market, wire and cable marked on the voltage level which? Such as: BV-450V / 750V. Cable in the order to pay attention to what issues? As well as cable inspection when the attention to what issues? More

Basically are refining, the wax is also used, the high cost of particles
