Converter for laptop

I have a laptop HP pavilion dv4-1145go and I would use it in the car on a camping trip.  I read online that I should use a converter pure sine to convert dc to ac. I called my local electronics store, and they told me that this filter is built into the power adapter to the pc, so I really didn't need the pure sine wave inverter.  Do I need converter pure sine (cheapest is about $100)?  Also, how much power to I need to run this laptop?  How much is too much?  Thank you...

Glad I could help...

As I said I've been using inverters to power when on employment in construction and while camping for quite awhile.  Have not been able to get camping for awhile, but had developed an interesting configuration for our favorite campground.

picture a canyon of the small box that opens on a lake and is about 80 feet deep and 150 feet in diameter from the open end.  We strings of nylon thread 1/4 inch on the top of the canyon and then use it to shoot and support "zip" (like a lamp cable) cord through the canyon. On this zip line we placed shells.  These are very similar to what serve many Christmas tree. They clip on the line and Pierce the insulation to reach the electrical conductors without having to the Strip or cut the line. On these outlets would put us 14w fluorescent bulbs compact and reflectors facing down we have obtained elsewhere.

So as you can see, the installation program only has attracted about 60w but lit the area very well and had the additional advantage of attracting insects on the lights that were well above our heads.

It's just something to keep in mind for you...   Even 1 fire pulled up in a tree can give a general lighting for an area and prevent people from stumble in the dark and help attract insects away...

Yes, a converter DC-AC 120w will probably run for you.  But in my experience less than 200w inverters are very cheap. The few dollars you save will be spent again when this UPS dies before she really should.

My advice would be to get a 400w inverter as I've described. Check the box to be sure, it comes with the adapter and clips. You can use the lighter in the car where you run the laptop or DVD player and still be well under the limit of 20A of this socket.

'Better' inverters most have a protection mode to not drain the battery of the car down too far. Black & Decker, we're going to make a noise, others might just stop. When you hear the adutiable go alarm and start the car right away. Alarms are not as accurate as we could hope, and also depend on the status of your battery (what age there).

I know, it looks like I give a lot of warnings and a lot of different things to remember, but don't worry. Once you know the limits of your own decision-making power base and keep in you mind will be fine.   Especial en route to your destination.

One last thing.  I would advise that run you to the auto parts store before you go and pick up a box of fuses. For the type of your car uses to protect the lighter plug and for the type of the inverter to the inside of the plug that goes into the lighter. Unscrew the metal of the cigarette lighter to reveal this fuse and get plug end of identical spare parts.

    Hi, so it confused me for a long time now. I have this problem where my backlight ISN'T want to change to any other color but BLUE and its only the right side of the keyboard. The Start button / stop and the speakers are an exception to this decision apparently. I don't know exactly when it happened, but it has affected my computer for a while now. At this point im thinking a factory reset might do the trick, but I don't want to go through the long fight to take back to his feet. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I would be grateful helps it a lot because I love the ability to color, but I'm limited its use. If necessary I will add a picture of this.

  • Need a specification complete for laptop model Satellite

    Hello to one and all. I am experienced with the use of the forums, but this is the first time the Forum of Toshiba. So apologies if I write in the wrong section.

    In fact, my daughter who has autism, got a DSA grant to help him to go to University. They say she may have a laptop computer and the provider gave me the following details of what they provide, which is...

    WKH15 PC Toshiba laptop with Core i3 (3217U) 4GB 320 GB DVDRW WIFI Webcam Windows Bridge Ivy 8 (integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000)

    I want to see the complete specification and any review of the toshiba laptop above, before I accept it. I can pay extra to have a better, if I think it is necessary.

    The problem is, I can't find anything on this model and am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction, or maybe even have one and can give me relevant information.

    Thanks much for any help.

    To be honest I don't understand your provider. Each manufacturer offers different portable model with different model name or model number so that customers can find presentation on the manufacturers web page.

    Different models have same hardware platform, so I don't know how to help you with your question. Ask her to model exact name or model number, so we can find the exact specification for laptop on the toshiba support page.

    This laptop is quite a departure from my experience with servers and previous HP laptops.  I was able to easily find the manual equipment for each different computer server or HP laptop I worked on, not the same with 15-ay011nr.  On any other HP laptop, I was able to find the rear covers to replace the memory and hard drive, not the same for this laptop.  There is no lid at the back of this laptop.

  • new hard drive for laptop

    I have a laptop dv7-3140el and HD samsung HM641JI 640GB 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM (to replace car failure). To buy a new hard drive I have to take the same or I can take 7200 RPM instead of 5400? What technical specifications should I look for when buying a hard drive for computer laptop dv7-3140el? I wouldn't make a bad purchase!

    Sorry for my bad English

    Hello

    Here are a few points to note when replacing your HARD drive:

    You are not limited to any particular drive manufacturer.

    The speed of rotation of the disc can be 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM

    The new drive HARD should be at least the same capacity (or slightly more is okay) as the original drive - mounting a drive smaller than the original often causes risks with recovery media.

    The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    If necessary, the procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 47 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  • CRAVING for laptop - 15-k201tx: download HP Hotkey to URGE support for laptop - 15-k201tx

    HII,

    Where can I download the "Hotkey" to WANT software for laptop - 15-k201tx?

    I already ordered the computer, and it will be delivered over the next 48 hours.

    I have download all the drivers and save them to a disk exernal hard.

    My current laptop (probook) will not allow me to use the shortcuts 'fn' at least I have the software 'Hotkey '.

    I guess that's also the case of jealousy?

    But if I go to the page "Download drivers", it does not show me the possibility to download "Hotkey Support".

    Where can I go?

    PS: I know hotkeys will work right out of the box, and if I recover using the recovery partition.

    I always want to keep a version ALL the drivers in a backup location - in general, I don't use the option 'Recover' for recovery, I reinstall from scratch using my own DVD of Windows and not having a key driver will be a major setback.

    Hello

    If the key Action is enabled in the BIOS, you don't have to press the fn key in combination with the shortcut key F to activate or deactivate the appropriate key feature in consumption like logs.

    If you need fn + f key to work instead of one F key, disable the Action key
