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.

Maybe there are something wrong with your new power cable. Are you sure if the compatible is ok? I think you must take it to the seller and required he to explains.

Q:the light on the power cable box is orange when the xbox is turned on does this mean the cable is broke or the console? thanks

you need to find out the error code and find a solution to it.

Q:So I use my laptop with power and only put in the battery when I take it around. So I sat my computer down and it abruptly just shut down. I powered it on and I set it down again and the same thing happened. The third time it went all the way to the desk top. I touched and moved around the power cable connected to it shut down. WTF

sensitive power supply connection i guess

Q:today i purchased a used audiobahn atb10at 10quot;subwoofer with a built in power and for my car but there was no cables for it, the power is a six prong plug and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what the specific name of this cable is or where i can buy it and maybe how to install it, i tried looking into it and didnt get anywhere thanks

Q:My PC shuts down by itself and even if i push the power button, it won't start again. I have to unplug the power cable and plug it again and then push the power button to start again.... it will work for 30mins-1 hour, and then it will crush again.

Of course you can't start it if you Crush it ... sounds like the PSU is overheating and shutting down ... in the process it trips an auto safety feature which by unplugging the power cable you're resetting .... eventually you'll short out the whole thing and fry your computer ... go spend $25 and buy a new Power Supply before you kill your PC

Q:i want to use a 120 vac extention cord wire for the power cable to my amp, is this safe? extention cords have a heavier gage than the wire in radio shack and such and is much cheaper. i dont see why this would be a problem considering car batteries are only 12 volts vs. 120 volt extention cord raiting

HAAAAAA HAAAA HAAAA! No really, come on! Yes this will work. As long as the current required doesn't overload the wire. Meaning that you will have to have a heavy enough guage wire to handle the load. Otherwise,,,,,meltdown. Now I would highly discourage the use of home electrical wire for the purpose of car audio. You need a good clean, true source of power to feed your amps. It's your system, but the weakest link will always rear it's ugly head when you least expect it. My advice.....Drop some cash and get the right stuff the first time. Otherwise you WILL be doing it over again.

Q:the cable for my psp wont plug all the way in anymore so i cant charge it. nothing has happened to the psp. it wasnt dropped or anything, just sat on the table. same with the power cord.anyone else have this problem and if so what did u do about it.and if your thinking about saying quot;contact sonyor anything like that...just leave. i can figure that out for myself ok.

MMMM. im not sure i think you might need to buy a new one if you try to force it in you might break something

Q:I need to select a power cord for a computer and other appliances (like a printer). Power cords usually have their amps and voltage (capacities?) imprinted on the outside. What is the rule of thumb for selecting a power cord and why?For example, if my printer has the following requirements:Power Source AC 120V 50/60 HzPower Consumption - 5W-350WWhat amp/voltage type of power cord will do the job?I am of course concerned about overloading the cord with too much electric requirements.(People who actually know this matter SPECIFICALLY only need to reply; please excuse if the electric language is not used right.)

This probably isn't the greatest answer, but I usually err on the side of caution and buy super heavy duty cords. I replaced a guitar amplifier cord last year with a ridiculous, braided cable that could probably power a jackhammer. I've had no problems with it.

Q:Or better yet is there a 100' snake with phantom power? Can't seem to find anything online.

You should be able to push power through a 100' cable. A mic doesn't draw much current so wire size shouldn't be an issue.

Q:I live in the uk

Laptops each have different power cords, because they have different connections to the laptop itself, so there's no one universal power cable. However, you can easily buy generic powercords for your specific laptop that are cheap. Just go to a site like Amazon and search for your laptop name.
