Interchanging parts a320n and a1330n Tower

I have two HP towers, a320n (2003 vintage) and a1330n (2005).  the 1330 had a hard drive failure and remained on-site with an empty drive Bay.  The 320 has recently experienced a power surge and my repairman advises feeding times and MB are dead as well.  My intention is to remove the hard disks intact the 320 and put them in the 1330.  This situation has raised the following issues:

1 is it true that it is more possible to get a replacement MB for the 320?  I said practical current mfg must essentially 'custom - fit' MBs in the case, and off the coast of the MB tray replacement essentially becomes a thing of the past - would just check this info.

2. the 1330 came up with half a dozen of manuals; It is shocking that not one has a view of the inside of the case.  Is there a view inside-business online?  All that I could find were copies online of the manuals that I have, which do not offer the material I want.

3 is the interchangeable memory between 320 and the 1330?  If so, I'll save that as well.

I appreciate all help to unravel the combination of these two 'wounded warriors' desired in a single machine works.

Here are the specifications of the HP Pavilion a320n desktop and here are the specifications of the desktop HP Pavilion Media Center a1330n. You should be able to use the a320n IDE HDDs in the a1330n. The memory of the a320n should work in the a1330n, but it will make the memory run at the slower speed.

(1) the most mass produced computers use a micro-ATX motherboard and there is a lot of these facts by the non - OEM manufacturers. It is almost always possible to adapt a replacement no HP in a case of HP. However, these systems are old enough so that it is impossible to find adequate replacements.

(2) please see the specifications for the HP a320n (A7N8X-(Explorer 2) motherboard) and the HP a1330n (A8AE-(AmberineM) motherboard) for information layout and connection of motherboard.

(3) the memory of the a320n should work in the a1330n, but it will make the memory run at the slower speed.

Please send BRAVO

    I am an essential when it comes to this.  For example: I have reason to believe that my computer has been tampered with.  After picking up from where I used to live, which was a process of 2 weeks, I noticed a few differences.  It seems that I had to update my SM Bus controller.   Having something to do with my sound, video, game controllers.   Known as DVB-T/ATSC hybrid minicards, when I choose to back the driver for this hybrid mini map it shows me an ATI... of cards that once completed, my screen freezes almost instantly.   Whereas now, I have little video game and can't play any video game.   My computer was made for games and video.  XPS 420, intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of ram, Windows Vista, SP2, 32-bit.     I don't know what else to say about the computer for help, but my main Question is this. : How can I find the actual original parts of my computer that I had ordered.  How can I verify that all the real parts of the system are in the right place, audio, video cards, all Pci slots, cables, connections for what and where.    I seems my video performance has been reduced so that computer, except I don't really videos, seems to work half decent.  A track is damaged or someone had something physical inside.       Please send me email Wavec questions or anything like that.   If no response (s), thanks in advance.  I dunno how to explain it.   Thanks again, * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Run one of these inventory programs free system to see what is inside your computer. Since you have a Dell, you would only get the drivers (which seem to be wrong or missing) of the Dell Web site.

    Dell Support & drivers - go to the site Web and download/install the drivers and utilities for your operating system from Dell. Be sure to choose the drivers 32 or 64-bit according to the case. Enter your Service tag to get the drivers for your specific model computer.

    In my view, that Dell can also have a utility on their website to check the configuration of your computer.

  • S2415H adapter part number and possibly how to buy a replacement?

    I have misplaced my adapter while moving and can not understand which adapter I need to buy, either 3rd party or Dell (if they sell them).

    My monitor is the S2415H, but on the back, it is listed as S2415Hb. Not sure if there is any difference.

    I tried to chat/email technical support, but the monitor has no serial number and the serial number does not work so I can not simply contact technical support which is currently closed by phone. If someone who has the same monitor could help or if dell support can provide the part number it would be appreciated. I would like to order as soon as POSSIBLE I currently can't use my PC without him.

  • three questions... one parts, compatibility and a procedure

    I think I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, so will try again here.

    FIRST QUESTION - I have a HP 8408us laptop.  And, although I did not notice before (blush), this laptop has two internal hard drive bays.  Currently, only the original hard drive is plugged into one of the bays (a 80gig SATA) so that the other remains empty drive Bay.  That is the problem.

    The original 80gig SATA drive is held in place by a metal caddy/stand.  But the 2nd Bay is just 'empty' - with no trolley/carrier in place.  And a local geek shop told me that I had to get this carrier caddy if I wanted to install a 2nd SATA drive (which I do).  Could someone please point me to the HP store web page when I can buy this caddy/carrier?  Or, if this caddy/carrier is "generic" for all drives 2.5 "laptop, where a good place to buy one?  My local geek shop does not have on-site.

    SECOND QUESTION - Is my future plan.  I intend to remove the 80gig drive and install a 500gig Western Digital SATA hard drive in the first Bay.  Subsequently, I intend to install a new copy of Windows XP Pro.  The original hard drive currently has Windows XP MCE, which, as I understand it, is simply extra (improved version) Windows XP Pro.  But since I've never used (and never intend to use) MCE bells and whistles, XP Pro will be enough for me.  Is there some incompatabilities I meet by going slightly 'backward' in Windows XP Pro?

    THIRD QUESTION - after I have Windows XP Pro installed on 500gig drive, I intend to replace the 80gig drive in the 2nd drive bay and "format" NTFS only for storage purposes.  But to get Windows XP Pro installed correctly, I'm left with a question.  I know where the HP page is on my 8408us to acquire the proper drivers.  But I don't see any indication on this page that there is a preferred facility 'order '.  In other words, are there instructions that say:

    (1) install this driver first.

    (2) install this driver a second.

    (3) - anything... etc, etc, etc.

    Is there such a page "driver installation order"... or do most people just ' wing it?

    Thanks to all who respond.

  • The foxfire start page is divided in 2 parts, empty and I can't go to any other web page.

    I can type a web address in the URL and is as he goes to this web page, but nothing on the screen changes. It is very recent. I uninstalled and reinstalled foxfire, but which did not help. I clicked the button of foxfire on the start screen and tried to reset default foxfire. However, the appropriate items were not on the menu drop down.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    (If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

    Thank you.

    BIOS Version - F-10

    Problem appeared as start-up blocking, no error message, stops on the Logo Windows appears this active disk then all hard disk activity stops. Pass recovery of various keys F, no difference, no error message. Disk and memory diagnostic all race clean, no errors. Repluged CD/DVD drive several times.

    Second symptom. No system of F11 recovery, same symptom, stops after saying system with bar showing the progress of the complete charge of loading. The mouse works but crashes right there with no hard disk activity.

    Third Symtom. With the new Windows 7 recovery HP DVD, (just received) following their instructions in the HP support page, no difference, no error message. Loads a few minutes and activity HDD light goes off and this beautiful laptop he just sets with no activity other than the power of light and a white light blue screen with a swirl design in the upper right corner.

    I reorganized new recovery discs HP Windows 7 (two) in the hope that it is a defective recovery disc that is the problem. But without display of error messages and diagnostics memory and hard drive running OK I have my doubts if the new DVD will be different.

    In other words, I have exausted my knowledge and seeks suggestions and such to help me here. I should have stuck with IBM computers, but they sold to the Chinese for their PC stuff and I am doomed if I will give them my money.

    Hello

    This problem can sometimes be resolved by wiping the hard drive first, and then reinstalling the operating system.

    Download and install Killdisk on the link below.

    http://Software.LSoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe

    Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.

    http://download.CNET.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html

    Access the application of disc kill you have installed in all programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators, then the BACK Bootable CD Creator that will burn the ISO on a blank CD bootable.

    During the following process do not worry about all warnings as your recovery DVDs will reformat the HARD drive.

    Insert this CD into your PC which is unable to load the operating system properly. Shut down the PC, and then start again to boot from the CD of Killdisk and follow the instructions on the screen to kill disk.

    A brief description of the process here is Killdisk.

    Use it to wipe the entire hard drive (f10) - ( make sure to include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a few hours!).

    When the process is complete, remove the CD of Killdisk, insert the bootable CD from HP that you created earlier, and restart the computer to boot from it. When you see the green check mark, remove the CD and insert your first HP recovery disk.  Then restart your PC to try the installation again.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes

  • Part real and imaginary FFT in Labview

    Hi all

    I have a very quick question after performing a FFT in LabView, I want to isolate the real part of the FFT of her imaginary part for further processing. Should what VI I use? Could you please direct me step by step for it?

    Is this possible?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    In the digital > range complex, you will find the complex to Real Re / Im primitive.  This works with berries such as those that generates the FFT VI.

    I have XP with service pack 3.  This computer was built by a shop custom in August 2010.  When I try to play a dvd, it will play only a small size of about 1/4 upper-left image.  It is black everywhere else. Even in mode full-screen.  He's black everywhere except the small image 1/4 up to the left.  After about 30 seconds, the program closes.

    Tried to resize the video, no effect.  I wonder if nero 9 can be a problem?  It came with my asus drive on the computer.  I never used it. I usually use imageburn.

    If you are not familiar with video drivers, it may be preferable
    If you return to the shop that built the system for you

  • I can't get my Zapotecs theme to show on my desktop. I have a white box for the most part empty and only a small strip on the left of my screen which has something on this. How should I do?

    My office does not display my theme Zapotecs, I'm especially a big box empty white to the right and Center, and a bunch on the left who is not white white. How to be the Zapotecs full desktop theme on my screen?

    You can view other themes on your system?

    If so, try to get a new theme "Zapotec" and try again.

    If this is not the case, check that the Windows themes service is enabled and running.

    Use the following steps to check if your themes service is enabled:

    1. open your Start Menu, and then click Run
      
    2. type in: Services.msc
      
    3 locate the themes service in the list of services and double-click it.
    4. set the startup type on: automatic
      
    5. click on apply, then Startand OK

    Try your theme.

    If the other themes of work, but can't always the Zapotec theme to work, then most likely it is corrupt.
