Dimension 4600 power cords to connect two SATA HDs

Dell Dimension 4600

WD 160 GB SATA hard drive

My hard drive crashed. Most of the important things was saved, but I want to get some files. CHKDSK is not conclusive. It may be a damaged disc or a damaged registry.

I didn't want to take any chances, so I installed a new SATA 160 Gb HD and reinstalled Windows XP and Office 2003 on this drive. It works very well. Now I want to reinstall the hard drive as a slave and copy some files to a hard drive if possible.

I have connected both hard drives to the motherboard with data cables, but the power cable is a little confusing.

There is a P4 connector. This connector, there are THREE supply wires going to the following areas:

P3 (end of the cable)

P5 (end of the cable)

P3 (middle of cable) connected to P5 (end of the cable) on the same cable

The original HD was connected to the unique P3 (end).

Now reconnect:

the master at the same P3 (end) and the slave to the P5 (end) on SEPARATE cables

or

the master of the P3 (the middle one) and slave for the P5 (end) on the SAME cable

or

It does not matter

Thank you

  • Satellite A300D-15B touchpad plays when the external power cord is connected

    I got an A300D-15B for about 2 months and while using it I noticed that the touchpad is hyper sensitive or do not respond.
    I tried all settings (and it works fine when the advanced settings window is open!), but return to a document or a Firefox window and the cursor sticks, wiggles on trolling or is highlights of the things that I don't want it. The driver is up-to-date.

    After much trial and error, I discovered that it is fine when working off battery power, but the plug in the socket and it is almost unusable.

    Anyone who suffers from this?

    Hello

    I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country and by checking if this problem from touchpad seems using a new power adapter.
    I read here in the similar topic forum, and the user resolved this problem using another new adapter!

    It s really strange but this should be verified absolutely!

  • Satellite L40 - 14N boot question without power cord

    Had this problem for a while, any ideas please?

    My Satellite L40 - 14N sometimes won't start when the power cord is not connected. It starts ok but when I get to the Windows screen drops colored that keep moving from left to right and the machine will not get one more no matter how much time is left.

    This never seems to happen when the power cord is connected and is turned on, it starts very well.

    Hi starmonkey,

    What power lead do you mean exactly? Do you mean the AC/DC adapter?

    To be honest, I also don t know why this happens, but you use pre-installed OS from Toshiba?
    You have installed a different display driver?

    Maybe you should try to reinstall Windows in worst case it s a bad material work :(

  • Portege M200 - connection loose in the power cord

    Hello

    After almost 5 years of intensive use (this is the 3rd battery which is currently begging for replacement...) my M200 still works fine - great device!

    However, the power cord has a bad connection for a few weeks now. The problem is located next to the DC plug. So, whenever I connect the M200 to food, I need to turn and bend the cable in order to reactivate the charge current. Friend of mine, a 2004 purchased another M200, exactly the same problem.

    Problem: The power cord is fixed on the transformer, and a new Toshiba 15V power is quite expensive (if you manage to find one, anyway...). Is there a solution to fix the cable (or get a replacement cable / repair kit) rather than buy a new power supply?

    Thank you!

    Florian

    Hi mate,

    AFAIK there is no repair kit for this problem. You must buy a new Toshiba AC/DC adapter because a cable can t be repaired.

    I know it's so cheap, but maybe you can get another compatible adapter AC/DC to an authorized service provider. Many AC adapters are compatible to different notebooks, so maybe a cheaper is available.

    Here you can search for an ASP to give them a call:

    Hello, I have a Dell Dimension 4600 older XP. The hard drive is dead and I replaced and then reloaded pack 1 with the intention of making all the revisions on the internet. The problem is that I cannot now connect to the internet via my broadband router directly connected to the computer. It seems that the wizard to connect only wants to use the dial upward and does not connect to the router. Just recompose. It seems to ignore the connection from the router to broadband and wants to use the dial upward only.

  • Update on power supply for Dell Dimension 4600

    I searched in the nets, but was not able to find an answer, so I hope someone can help.

    I received recently a 4600 as a hand.  I decided to set up as a game machine.  I know it's an old PC, but I do not anticipate play something newer than Battlefield 2142 (I use my Xbox 360 to play newer games).

    In any case, I was able to get a new Radeon X 1950 PRO on eBay for $35 shipped to replace a 6600GTOC whose fan has stopped working.  I thought that since I was the video card for a good price, upgrading the PSU still would be worth during the upgrade of the motherboard or get a new PC.

    I started to look at the power supplies and noticed that some of them have their own power switch.  This means that the power button on the front of the 4600 no longer works?  I would go with a power supply where can I still use the power button and should not spread in the back to turn on the PC.

    BTW, here's the rest of the features of the 4600:

    CPU: Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz (Northwood) - HT disabled

    RAM: 3 GB PC3200

    Readers: A WD 320 IDE, a DVD-ROM and floppy 3.5 "drive

    No other expansion boards outside the video card will be installed.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    When the power supply the on/off switch, you leave in the position 'On' and use the power button on the front of the computer.

    The Dimension 4600 has an open back panel, you can use most of the generic ATX PSU, with or without the market/on-off switch and with either a 20-PIN or 20 + connector 4-pin main motherboard.

    You should be able to buy food from the local computer stores.

  • Aspire gel mouse/Touchpad V7 - 482PG when connect power cord (Windows 10)

    Greetings,

    I'm having this strange problem in my V7 after upgrade to Windows 10:

    When I plug the power cord of the keyboard and the touchpad and mouse gel (I use a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse and touchpad in my V7 is a Synaptic).

    -If I unplug the power cord, all thaws.

    -If I plug the cord by moving the cursor, either with the mouse or the keyboard , then they don't freeze and I can work normally.

    -Of course if I start the laptop with the power cord already plugged, everything works normally and if I unplug the power cord, there is no freeze.

    The problem occurs only when the laptop runs on batteries and I plug in the power cord and the only solution is to move the mouse while plugging in the power cord. It's really annoying.

    I installed all the drivers on the Acer support and page also tried several combination of new drivers older drivers etc. This never happened in Windows 8.1.

    I don't know what else to try. I hope someone could help with this issue.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Miguel

  • Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

    Hello

    all advice appreciated.

    I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

    There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

    1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

    2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

    I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

    I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

    see you soon
    Chris

    First, please check if the other are lit.
    If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

    > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
    If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

    So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

    Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

  • Satellite Pro U400 freezes sometimes when the power cord is plugged

    Hello! I know that this problem has been addressed here and there, but I'd like to open a new thread about it. Here's the scenario.

    I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original, (b) in addition purchased authentic of Toshiba PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The laptop has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I use XP Pro SP3 (own installation by myself). Everything works fine, except for one thing:

    Sometimes (but), when the laptop is running on battery power and I plug in the power cord, everything hangs and I have to restart. A few observations:

    It tends to occur more frequently when the low battery alarm has rung;
    (b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery.
    (c) it seems to happen most often when a USB device (mouse, for example) has been linked to the laptop, but it is not a rule;
    (d) it seems to happen less often when I move the mouse USB at the time wherever I am connect the power cord.
    (e) I've experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver settings (for example to change the levels of CPU for my profile) but nothing I changed seems to change the situation.
    (f) I tried different suggestions I found on various forums, but nothing works (for example the BIOS settings);
    (g) otherwise, I can say that I have not really seen a smoother computer, everything works really fine, no other problem :)

    Everything that makes me think it must be some sort of bug in the drivers of motherboard driver PowerSaver or other drivers interact with battery, CPU or possibly USB. Y at - it an explanation to this problem and can it be rectified in some way (for example, by providing a driver update)?

    Hello

    First of all, I never heard a driver from the motherboard.
    There is a drive chipset or a graphics card driver. There is no such thing as a driver of the motherboard!

    Look, man. laptop should work fine even the AC adapter is connected or not connected
    If the laptop freezes while there might be a software problem, but in my opinion it could be hardware problem
    You must reinstall the operating system if the laptop would freeze always the issue might be related to hardware

    First of all the memory modules and AC adapter must be verified.
    If the problem persists even using new modules and AC adapter, motherboard may be affected.
