lost my original 7A cable and the uk wire is 2.5A
The slim is a two prong power cable however the fat one has a three prong.
It wont do any damage will it?
No. Can't do that. There's a reason why they have a different number of pins.
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.
to give the end user another alternative to connect the drive to the pc if there is no usb slot available or free
theres a red wire, black and yellow. i turned the power supply to the shower off at the main switch board. but when cutting through the cables to repair it it nocked off another switch on the switch board even though the shower is on its own circuit. does this mean there is still power in the wires and is there any power in the yellow wire (earth). witch is the live wire red or black?
Power near shower or to? You have 220 power and both the red and black are live (will deliver 110 to earth.)
computer MB does not contain a power supply connector for the SATA power cable leading to the SATA HD, is this the norm? the cable connector is 5 prong female, there is no 5 prong male connector on the MB or the PSU. any suggestions?

I have just bought a pair of Yamaha HS50m monitors, connected only the power cable, switched them both on, and they are both making a noticeable constant hissing noise?Is this normal? Should this happen?Is it because I have not yet connected them to my interface or any other device?I am worried I have purchased a dodgy pair and would be grateful for any info.many thanks
You might have a short somewhere.
I recently replaced my 300W Bestec power supply with a 600W corsair power supply. the 600W electric cable (the one that goes to the wall outlet) is too short, can i use the power cable of the 300W power supply ?
Yes...all psu cables are interchangeable...all are 3 pronged..have been sence the 80's.....some psu makers don't even include them with new psu's figuring you'll have a extra laying around EVEn you monitors cable well work..
eSata means you connect the drive from outside the case. If so, what kind of cable do you use for power, assuming you're not opening up the case to use the regular molex connectors?
I use an external sata for backup with a usb cable converter the power comes from the usb cable, esata I suspect would be similar unless you are hooking it up with arj45 or something?
