Q:I have a Samsung NC10 net book, from europe. A few days ago I forgot the power cable in another country. Can I get just any laptop power cable from a computer store, or should I get a proprietary cable? Will the quality matter?

As long as the cable has enough power for your laptop, same watts, volts etc. It's usually on some part of the power cable, and on the bottom of your laptop or on the battery.

Q:Some said that living near the power cable line might cause cancer because of the radiation from this powerline. Please help me decide. Thanks.

I can only tell you what my husband would say. He is a chemist and has done a lot of research on Electromagnetic Fields. He wouldn't buy it! Thirty years ago, he threw out our electric blankets! He moved the clock radio and phone off the nightstand! When he gets a call on his cell phone, he puts it on speakerphone and holds it away from his head! Obviously, he thinks there is something bad with EMFs. He would advise looking at other properties!

Q:Hi everyone. On a national trading website, I am planning on buying a second hand xbox 360. Now the auction I'm aiming for, only comes with the console and the hard drive. No power supply or av cables. But on another auction, they are selling power leads and av cables on their own. I was wondering if all types of power supplies/ av cables work on the different types of xbox's (Elite, Pro, Slimline, Orginal etc)10 points for best answer ;)

The power cables and A/V for XBOX 360 work with any other XBOX 360. Be careful on an auction that you aren't getting a bricked XBOX.

Q:I am trying to hook up a LCD display (CPU Temp, USB's in use, Memory Temp/usage, etc) and It came with a 5pin DIN connector for what I assume is the power. I am not sure what I need to do to connect it to the PSU. Any help or ideas?

I think this device should have a power connector as well as a sensor cable (USB in use should have a connector running on to your motherboard.) can you provide me the make/mode number of the equipment. Also provide me with a link so that i could see the connectors and wires and the device. Else take a pic, upload it some image hosting site and provide with a link. (you can edit your question or add additional info and provide a link. Replace the http with hxxp, if the link is getting blocked)

Q:Hey guysA 6mm power cable can hold up to 25A, but, if a product draws a maximum of 4A, in theory, can this 6mm be reduced? If so, by approx how much?Cheers, much appreciated!! :)

yes. Resistance, and therefore voltage drop, is inversely proportional to the square of the radius or diameter. in other words, cut the diameter in half to 3 mm, the current capability would be 1/4 or 6 amps. 25/4 = 6.25, and square root of that is 2.5, and 6mm/2.5 = 2.4 mm, using only voltage drop considerations. If temperature in the wire is important, it gets more complicated, as you have to consider physical size of the wire, insulation type and thickness, etc. Of course wiring codes would override all this.

Q:My system was working fine until today. The bass stopped hitting to the music and thumps in intervals of about 5 seconds regardless of whether the music is turned up or down. I hooked up my system without my capacitor to see if this was the problem. It worked...but only for a minute. The bass was hitting like it was suppose to but all of a sudden it went back to the interval thumping and the power cable got hot to the touch and the fuse inside the holder was melted. What the heck is the problem?

to much electricity going throught the wire u need thicker wire try 0 gauge

Q:How to test internet cable through home power plug, stead of internet tester?

DO NOT DO IT! = Household power is deadly! - At least, household power will fry cables anything connected.

Q:I just moved to the UK, and I have a US xbox 360 slim, I still have the power brick and everything. My friend here has a power cable that will fit the US power brick (it is from his UK xbox). Can I plug in the UK cable to the US power brick then plug it like I normally would into my 360? Or will that fry the power adapter or xbox? Thanks!!

Ya you can plug it in. It should be fine b/c its all emitting the same amount of power. I think. lol

Q:do you know if there any router power by rj45 cable not an AC adapter?

Okay... let's start with this: RJ45 is the plastic head on the end of the cable. The cable itself is either Cat-5 or Cat-6. Secondly, no... A router can not be powered by the Cat-5/6 cable. There is not enough in there to carry the power supply needed to run the router.

Q:I lost my Xbox power brick and was wondering if I could use a cable from my old ps3?

of course not, they're made for a completely different system
