Q:Should I call 911 if a frayed power line fell in my driveway?

Do not call 911, call the power company. If your city has 311 service you could call that. If there are any bodies around the line just leave them be. Don't try and move them with a broom handle, that's an old wive's tale.

Q:I have a Technics SL-D20 Turntable recently purchased from a garage sale that lacks a power cable. The turntable has a 2 prong adapter, but it is not one that has a square and semi-circular portion, but rather seems to accept an elliptical two pronged cable. It is listed on the back as Power Source AC120V 50 or 60hZ 6wThank you

That type of connector was common before the IEC style cable became the standard. Perhaps you can scrounge some more tag sales or estate sales, friends garages and attics. You might check to see if there is an electronics surplus store in your town. Those guys never throw anything away.

Q:I need to run power cables from 4 fans on my stacker 830 around the edges of the case and into the power supply for cable management purposes. The fans I currently have, have power cables that are around only 10 inches long. Any ideas?

Can you solder? If so, just clip the wires then splice on extensions. Add heat-shrink material, solder connections, shrink the material and you're good to go.

Q:or do I need to buy one?

Yes it's a standard 3 prong pc plug.

Q:Last step to install my amp is the Power Cable. Their is a fuse device i must attach to the cord so im guessing i have to cut the gauge install it on both sides and run it to the battery. Does it matter were this fuse device connects? because i want it right next to my amp.thnx

The fuse should be within 18 of the BATTERY!!! I cannot stress this enough. Amplifiers have built in devices which protect the amp, the in-line fuse's sole purpose is to protect the wire in case of a short. Put that fuse close to the amp, and all of that wire feeding from the battery is unprotected; and any part of that wire that shorts to the car can, and continues to pass current to the chassis, until something catches fire due to the tremendous heat created from the short. Mount it as close to the battery as possible.

Q:It's a 250GB Western Digital Caviar drive, sold with an iMac back in early 2007... I want to see if I can recover some files from it, but I have no idea where to start.

Get an external adapter kit. Tiger direct sells them.

Q:there are two cables one thats blue and one thats black what are they called?

One is the power supply cable (Black one) and since its blue the second one would be a VGA cable. Hope this helps.

Q:Will it work if I put a pigtail (connect the wires by twisting them together) or does that stop it from working properly..

If you know how to do a reasonably-competent job and cover your splices with heat shrink tubing, there is no problem. Note that if we're talking about the cable that connects to the laptop, the current is fairly high (3A or so) so the splice cannot be thinner than the wire in the cable at any point. The splice should be both mechanically and electrically solid. If there's a bulge, a thin part, wire sticking out, loose tape ends, or any other such nonsense, the cord should *definitely* not be used. Any signs of incompetent assembly should be cause for completely disassembling and inspecting the splice.

Q:can i run a ati radeon hd 2900xt with a two 4pin molex power cable?

Direct Answer : No you can't. Indirect Answer : You can, you need a converter though, there are converters that connect two 4 pin molex power cables into one six pin video card cable. PS. If your power supply doesn't have a 6 pin cable, more likely than not this means your power supply will not be able to handle video cards like the Radeon 2900XT.

Q:i just moved from canada to asia and the voltage in canada was 110 and here its 240 so i have a ps3 and i plugged it into a converter(converts voltage). After im done playing i noticed that the power cable is warm and you could move the two positive and negative prongs very easily as if they were about to come out of the cable. I have no idea what to do HELP!!!!!!!

The ps3 supports both 120 and 220 Voltage.
