Q:Which is the best way to prevent damage to the laptop / ac power jack when someone trips on the cable ?Dont ask me to buy a Mac since I already have one. This is for my new PC notebook.

Purchase a warranty that covers accidental damage. If you don't want to do that, arrange your cables where they can't be tripped on easily.

Q:Where can I find a power cable for an HP Photosmart C3180 printer?

Q:Hi will this Graphics card, require a power cable or do i just plug it into the slot and away it goes??

YES it uses a 4 pin molex power connector like a hard drive. look at the top right corner to see if a video card uses a power connector...

Q:NO power convertor needed? I can go straight from AT to ATX?

You are confused between AT and ATX. As described by pdl756 the power connections are different and two plugs. Another big difference was the AC went from the PSU to the Start switch on the P.C case and back to the PSU for switch on. AXT started with a 20 pin power plug and later to a 24 pin power plug. Your link shows that converter from 20 to 24 pin but it was not needed for long because PSU manufacturers provided a 20 plug plus a 4 pin clamp on extension

Q:I am looking to replace a broken power cable for my DigiTech RP1000 guitar effects board, but I am curious as to whether I need to find a cable specifically for this device, or if I can look up any cable with an output of 9V AC; 1.3 Amps.

Hi at such low current and voltage it really doesn't matter that much.

Q:I'm building another computer to give to someone, i have all the parts and when it got down to installing the CD drive and the Hard drive i plugged the sata cables into the motherboard but when i looked to install them to the power supply mine did not have any of those cables. I had spare cables from my other power supply but they require you to plug them into the power supply but since the other power supply is older it doesn't work. I was wondering if i could get cables that plug into the extra connectors then to the CD drive/ Hard drive instead of plugging them into the power supply then the CD drive/ Hard drive.

Handycam Camcorders do no longer draw potential from USB. you may desire to purchase a replace potential grant cable. while you're taking the camcorder to a place like superb purchase or Radio Shack, you may in all likelihood get a clean cable for little or no money (regardless of if that's not the best Sony cable).

Q:where do i put the wire through from the inside of the car to the battery located under the hood?

First, examine the vehicle for an existing penetration in the firewall that provides access to the engine compartment from the passenger compartment. If there isn't one, you will need to drill a hole in the firewall. Make sure you are not drilling into any wires or vehicle components and then drill an appropriately sized hole through the firewall. Place a rubber grommet in the hole and then thread the wire through the grommet. Try to find a grommet that fits snuggly on your amp power cable so it will help to keep the drilled hole as water tight as possible. Also drill the hole so that the grommet fits snuggly as well, don't drill it too big. Make sure to secure your power cable inside the engine compartmentso it isn't loose. Good luck!

Q:Can anyone tell me the best place to run the power cable for my amp from the battery through the firewall? (2000 Chevy Impala)

Look for where the factory wire harness goes through. there's usually enough room to cut or drill a whole and pass your power wire through. If not, you'll have to make your own hole in a safe place.
