Q:I have a USB powered external hard drive. The cable that came with it has to plug-ins for the PC. I know the fat one provides power so I use that one. I would like to know what the other skinny one is for.I have seen other people plug both in when using it and it worked fine for them. I am using just the fat one and it works fine for me. I would just like to know the reason for having both on a cable.

I would stick with just using the one cable (the fatty). I would think that having both plugged in would cause issues with getting confused.

Q:I have a hard drive that has an enclosure is there any way to take an internal 3.5hard drive and convert it to an only usb cable portable hard drive with no power cord?

No. Not a 3.5 hard drive. You can do it with a 2.5 laptop drive because the drive mechanics and electronics require less power. A 3.5 drive requires too much power for USB to provide. Though... In the near future, you will see USB ports that are capable of supplying more power than the standard .5 amps that USB currently provides. So after they come out, you might see it being a possibility then.

Q:This is a very small system, just a tape deck, cd player, mp3 input, and a phono pre. This is then run from the L and R outputs from the mixer into a 2 channel EQ, then to a power amp (2x250 @ 2ohm), and from there to 2 vintage kustom speakers.Should I be using TRs or TS cables for all of these connections?FYI the speakers are about 25ft from the power amp on the opposite side of the room

very interesting question

Q:got 1 amp in the back,i want to add another amp at the front without a distrubuter,could i trail another power cable from the battery to the amp?

Yes, you can do this. Make sure each power wire has its own fuse near the battery. Addressing the other answers: this will not drain the battery any faster than running a single wire to a distribution block; and there's no need to add a second battery unless you plan to play the system for long periods without the engine running.

Q:Hi, Im building a computer and my Power supply dosent have enough Cables/wires for all the slots. We do have enough to fill one motherboard power slot and we also have enough to fill about a hal of one. Can my computer run with just half of one of the slots? Also, my computer's Graphics card, a Gigabyte GV-N560UD-1GI nVidia GeForce 560 Ti, has two power slots, and the wires that it comes with have 2 4 pin peripheral power cables brnching off of it. My power supply only has enough to fill 1 of the cables. My dad says it will be fine but i dunno. Please awnser quickly! Any awnsers will be much a preiciated

I'm sorry but no you need to have all the correct plugs installed if you expect them to run correctly. You didn't really give any info about the power supply but for that graphics card you generally want between 550-600 watt power supply to run anyways. Sounds like you will either need the proper adapters or another power supply altogether.

Q:Hey I just recently bought a Randal RB200X bass amplifier combo but it came with no cables or power chords or anything. Can someone please tell me what I need to buy in terms of cables to turn this amp on? I am clueless and am really desperate! Please help.

Abes okorder ... All you need is a standard guitar cable to connect the bass to the amp.

Q:I have a usb powered cup warmer. It has a car adaptor. I would like to know if its possible to use it to charge my cellphone in the car, instead of buying a car adaptor.

The max power you can draw from a USB port is 2.5W (500 mA at 5V)

Q:Can I do the big 3 upgrade by only doing the 2 ground cables(battery to chassis and engine block to chassis) now and doing the power to the alternator at another time? Will this give me a little performance boost until I can get enough material?

no, that would be a waste of your time. having a fatter ground won't mean anything if the power wire is the same. you would be better doing the power wires only. problem with that is, there will be built up current that can't dissipate fast enough before damage is done

Q:I've had this laptop (Dell Studio XPS 1640) for about two and a half years, and I've been through three power cables. The first one was a no-brainer, since the end was wearing a lot and you could see the wires. The past two have basically just stopped working for no obvious reason. The blue light on the end of the cord still lights up blue, but my computer says plugged in and not charging. I just bought a brand new one less than four months ago and it's worked perfectly until this past week. Has anyone else been having this problem with similar laptops? And if so, is there anything I can do besides wasting more money on a new cable?

I would suggest your take your adapter in to your local computer store and they can check it out. If your adapter is working but your still not getting current then the problem is inside your computer and it will need to be sent for repairs... Source(s): CompTIA A+ Computer Professional

Q:What is the meaning of YJVVV and VV22-4 * 25 + 16 in electrical appliances?

Should be caused by power line interference. You can buy a shield with the copper wrapped in audio cable and then placed next to the power cord can be, electronic city should have to sell.
