• How to change the power supply to the CD/DVD drive so that it is disabled by default?

  When running on battery I often use the icon 'Remove hardware safely' XP to 'unplug' the carpet * CD/DVD drive for Safe some battery life. (Does?) I use Fn + Tab to bring back to life. I wonder if there is a way to make my boot Notebook (M400) with the power supply to the reader off by default. Moreover, any idea where I can find the extra battery for the slot of the CD/DVD player and who the price?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello, Robert

  If you see the start page, you will see that this support forum is not a type of support Toshiba directly but forum users. But you're not alone and many users expect that a Toshiba support team sit in the office and before writing the answers.

  In any case, there are many users of Toshiba laptops with very good knowledge and also amateurs who are trying to help the other guys in different problems and also to share own experience.

  Professionalism is not the forum but action when you need help because of physical damage or something similar. If you need assistance and competent answers each authorized partner must be able to provide the info you need. But please don t mixture and Toshiba service partner because it is not the same.

  In any case, I found the info you can use additional (second battery expansion) and it takes batteries with PA3510U-1BAL, PA3510U-1BRL room numbers. I can't tell you how much it costs, but you will find only using Google.

  Back to your first question: if I understand you just want to save more power and because of this, you want to sign out ODD. It's a nice idea, but you have clearly misunderstood something. "Safely Remove Hardware option is there to help the operating system and and say this material, a part will be removed and don t exist anymore, but it does not physically the disconnection of any other material."

  If you need more power use a second battery and enjoy your life.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome. A lot of users here M400 and I hope in the future that some of them will participate in a little more.

  Good day! :)

• How to replace the power supply VAIO VGN-CS115J?

  Hello

  The power cord on my VAIO VGN-CS115J computer works correctly, but the power supply on my is broken.

  How can I get my fixed Power Jack?

  Friendly greetings,

  Jussi Yrjänä

  Zealious,

  It seems you need to remove the bottom case at least to get access to the DC Jack.  You may need to remove more pieces to remove it.  The p/n DC Jack is A-1609-073-A and can be ordered through Sony parts @ 800-488-7669 (US models).

• Satellite Pro 480cdt: how to replace the power supply and memory?

  I broke the tip of the power where it goes to the back of the computer. The two pins came away from the cable. What is the size of the plug round I am looking for as a replacement? Assume that there is a standard fitting of Toshiba.

  The right size to upgrade as the memory is 128 MB. He got 64 MB it's 2 x 32 MB. I guess we're soldered in, but I can remove the other 32 MB and put the 128.

  Are these modules memory square-shaped?
  Finally, a link to the service manual would be very helpful.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's really an old unit and it is not easy to find a lot of information. I found the info that this device can use 160MO max. Module of RAM compatible RAM are:
  16 MB PA2039U
  PA2040U 32 MB
  48 MB PA2041U
  128 MB PA2042U
  I don t really know where is placed expansion slot memory but check the underside first. Otherwise, that it may also be placed under the keyboard.

  Replacement of plug power is a bit complicated, and in this case I can't help you at all.

  In any case good luck with your oldie!

• power supply-how to determine watts

  I want to install a new video card, but I must first determine how many watts my diet is good for.

  How can I check this?

  Hello

  Usually the wattage is written outside the power supply in order to check the back
  in the case of the computer. If this isn't the case, you will need to check the inside of the case.

  After reviewing the determination of the power supply, you will then need to check
  motherboard and peripheral requirements. The video card is usually one of the
  large power users.

  How do you determine what is from my diet?

• Power supply with Acer Aspire X 1200 problem

  Hello world. I need help. I'm new to Acer Community Forum, but have a problem with my off-warranty X 1200 desktop model. It turns off and I am unable to start it. I changed outlets and also changed the power supply cord. Still nothing. The only thing I see on the Acer Support site is "check the tension on the system setting", but no explanation on how to do this. The system has a fuse that could be replaced? Someone had a similar problem? Any ideas as to what I can do to feed her top? Thank you.

  Ethel

  Thanks for your comments. It turns out that I was able to 'test' the PSU using the method "trombone" (20-24 pin, placing the trombone open between the Green and of the sons of black earth) and confirmed that the most likely guilty was in fact the power supply. I bought a new one on eBay (about $53) and in 2 days it had in my hands. I followed an other UTube on how to replace the power SUPPLY and even if I there was, cleaned dust on the fan, etc., put everything together, and SUCCESS! Now everything works fine. I agree that it would have been probably not cost-effective to have Geek Squad troubleshoot and replace the power supply, but to do it myself, I would say that it was well worth! Considering that it was the first time that I NEVER opened a tour, I feel pretty good on the result. Thanks again for your response! Ethel

• Power supply selection guide

  This MOD can make a post-IT.

  Here is a general guide on how to select a power supply for your HP desktop computer.  The majority of the standard ATX power supply (PSU) must fit in an envelope of HP.  The exception would be a slim casing or the esoteric Merle.

  Looking for a certification 80 + on the PSU to save electricity.  A PC is normally idle or operate at low load 75% of the time.  Therefore, to find a power supply which is more effective in the range 50 - 90W.  A power supply 80 + 350W reaches the level of efficiency of 80% at the exit of 70W (20% of rated output).  The output must be greater than 140W to achieve the same level of efficiency of a PSU of 700W 80 + equivalent.  So choose a power supply that is rated at 25% more than the maximum load of the ACTUAL spending of the rig you will save more of $ on electricity.

  A modern PSU is designed to achieve maximum efficiency between 20 and 80% of the nominal power.  Running a power supply above 80% charge level will result in excessive heat, noise and premature failure.

  A platform Nvidia GeForce GTX 280 (1024 MB of RAM) will rely on 350W max to the wall.  Taking into account the effectiveness of a block of power SUPPLY 80 +, the actual load on the power supply is only 280W (350 x 0.80).  To calculate the required power supply, multiply the actual load by 1.25 (25% margin).  In this case we only need a PSU 350W (280 x 1.25) to run this GPU.

  Let's apply what we know of a rigging of Radeon HD 4870 (512 MB RAM).  290W max to the wall.  Actual load is 290W x 0.80 or 230W.  Now, apply the 25% margin rule and we come to a requirement of 290W PSU (230W x 1.25).  Even if we apply a safety margin of 50%, the power required is always under 350W (230W x 1.50).

  There are no overspec need the power supply by 50%, unless you run your PC up 24/7.  Don't forget that there is a huge variation in the quality of the PSU and side.  Maybe a good 500W PSU is not able to provide as much energy as a quality 350W.  Antec Earthwatts/NeoPower/TruePower and Corsair Seasonic are widely available at several American retailers of quality units.

  High-end power supplies number will need additional power supply PSU in the form of one or two 6/8 pin plug GPU.  You can buy an adapter to convert a molex 4pin to plug 6-pin power of GPUS.

  Hi Nautsj,

  You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet. Here is a list of the things to consider:

  1. technical characteristics
  2. the total power - important
  3. amperage 12 + v - important
  4 modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
  5. guarantee
  6 i7 and SLI ready
  7. energy efficiency
  8 cost
  9. size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
  10. a single + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

  www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies. Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

  The typical EVGA GTX 570 in 9 "long.  The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.  Open your PC and do some measures so that you know for sure if the card fits.  According to me, it will fit.

  For what is a PSU, Corsair CX600has very little growth, but the Corsair HX650gives you plenty of space to grow.

  I use the HX650 in two PC.  It is a modular model in order to have better options with the selection of cable.

  "How-to" HP articles should be useful.

  TIP: When installing the power supply, unlock the scanner and slide it forward to facilitate the removal and installation of the new power supply.

• Power supply for use in the UNITED Arab Emirates

  Hello

  I just bought a Time Capsule of the airport and an Apple TV (4th gen).  I'm moving to Dubai for work and I intend to take with me.  I can't find out how to replace the power supply for use in Dubai (plug type G).

  • Can I just buy a travel voltage converter?
  • What is the frequency difference (US is 60 Hz and UNITED Arab Emirates is of 50 Hz)?
  • Could I just buy a 'EnergyPal travel Charging Station ETCS04' and connect directly?

  Thanks for any help!

  The airport Time Capsule and the Apple TV work on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz automatically, so they'll work pretty much anywhere in the world if you have the map of the right ankle.  A voltage converter is NOT necessary.

  You can buy the cards you need to any store from the airport, luggage, in Dubai store, etc., most of the hotels the.  If I remember correctly, Dubai uses the same type of plug that she used in the United Kingdom, as well as should work as well.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Ceptics-grounded-Universal-Plug-adapter/DP/B0080R95XI/ref= sr_1_1? ie = UTF8 & qid = 1455557366 & sr = 8-1 & key...

  I do not think that the higher 5 GHz channels are permitted in Dubai, so be sure to put the time Capsule to use a lower numbered GHz 5 channel... 36, 40, 44 or 48.

• HP pavilion a1710n power supply needs replacement.

  I have an old HP Pavilion a1710n desktop power supply crashed and burned and needs to be replaced.  I've never been on a power supply on this computer before I upgraded memory and dial-up fans in the past.

  I already ran through the list control to full power on this site to confirm that it is food that is broken and needs replacement and no cord or anything else.

  I also confirmed what power to order part.  At this point, I just need to see a video of step by step on how to replace the power supply inside the computer tower or read the good strong guidelines for how to do it.

  Some advice there?

  Thank you

  It doesn't seem to be a video on the site of HP but it is an easy process.

  (1) turn off your computer and disconnect the power supply. Remove the power cord from the power outlet.

  (2) open the casing and place the computer on its side (open side upward).

  (3) take pictures where going to each power cable.

  (4) disconnect all power connections.

  (5) remove the four screws on the back of the housing supply by keeping in place.

  (6) turn the power off (can be a "locking tab" now in place.

  (7) reverse the steps to install your new power supply.

  Refer to photos for the location of the place where to reconnect the power cables.

• Missing power supply Aspire S3-391

  Hello

  I just got my S3 of Aspire new-391 (NC-S3-391-53314G12ADD).
  The Quick Guide indicates that I must first read the installation Poster.
  The power supply is missing from the box!

  Does anyone know where and how to find the power supply?
  I'd rather make a configuration before the first use of my laptop.

  The box also says to check the content after the seal is broken.

  I guess that the checklist is on the same installation plan...

  Thank you for your very useful comments!

  Best wishes from the Netherlands

  My only advice would be to contact your local support center to see if they have a Poster of installation available for the system.

• 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.

• Need advice on the video card / power supply upgrade

  OK, first of all I am a novice to PC. But I have a HP pavilion a6600f. I wan to be able to play games like Battlefield BC2 but graphics integrated card wont cut it. I checked some info and found what motherboard I have. Its a FOXCONN Napa HP P/N. There is a link to the Board of Directors in case it might help you to answer my question. http://www.cnsunnyit.com/products/HP-motherboard-KJ383-69002_78.html

  This motherboard is a card like a GeForce 7800 GT or ATI X 1900? These cards are what is suggested as a Minimum for this game. Also maps would require me to get a 400W power supply. The power supply can be changed as well? All the answers you may have would be great. Also remember that I know very little in terms of pc in order to keep its simple for a simpleton like me. Thank you!

  Hi 223fmj,

  You came to the right place.

  Yes, you can update your graphics card. More than all that depends on ports inside your PC.  Depending on your motherboard (HP) card , you can install PCI Express x 16 graphics cards.

  How to replace a video card.

  Corsair power supply (psu) I used can be mounted with the fan facing upwards or downwards depending on where fresh air is available from. Some PC cabinets have mesh ventilation where the PSU Monte so the fan should face the ventilation mesh so that fresh air can be brought into the power supply and then exhausted at the rear. Some HP computers have slots to air ventilation through the upper edges of the flanks and in this case, the PSU is mounted to the top fan. Otherwise, the Assembly of the fan should be such that the PSU will draw air from inside the Cabinet.
