• Power supply upgrade Question

  Hi all

  This isn't a typical question. I read in all directions for an answer with nothing doesn't. I have HP Pavilion A1560n, which comes with a power of 300W. As most of you know, HP uses ATX power supplies and so for me to original power level, I need to know if the upgrade of power must be for the rail voltage 12V or 5V voltage rail. You're probably wondering the reason for the upgrade, and it's because I have a lot more hard and readers of DVD RW that I need to use this system. Think of this system as a station of mini Server (admittedly not the best system for this) If you want.

  With hard drives, one might think that the new power supply should have a higher on the 12V rail power. One could argue that the ATX V2.3 is also a good choice here because it has more than one 12V rail and retro-compatible with ATX. However, the fact that 2 different HP technicians mentioned that I need to upgrade is the power rail 5V me puzzled. A third technician just told me I need more power from 12V every power that I have met has more power on the 12V rail, except for the couple who had the same amount of power of 12V as my original power supply and many more the 5V power and the 3.3V rail.

  Could you please refer me to any documentation that could enlighten us in what route to go? Should I get an ATX upgrade that would increase the power on the 5V and 3.3V rails or V2.x ATX which will increase the power on the 12V rail.

  Thank you

  Won't you Dear?  How about $ 45 for a Fortron 600W with 80 + cert?  $ 35 yesterday with a $10 OFF coupon.  This unit is 580W for 12V output rate.  No need to worry about the modern 3.3 and 5V rails with PC since the maximum load will be less than 100W.  This device does not have no problem of transverse load... which means that the system can take as little as a few watts on 3.3 and 5 v rails and still be able to get close to 600 w total power.  You can buy the adapter to convert SATA connector Molex, or vice versa if you have plenty of HARD drive.

  This power supply has three independent 12V rails, each rated up to 18A.  Say staying us cautious and rates from the coast to 16A by rail, one call always load to the top of each tubular structure with eight drives.  The processor and the motherboard to sit on the other 12V rail and you can put a high range GPU and a few additional hard disks on the 3rd rail.

  The HP tech skill level can vary considerably.  Great people work cheap, so if you want good advice, then you should put these questions to the hardware enthusiast forum.

  Let's take a specific example for illustration.  I have a WD 1 TB green drive on my test bench.  The label says A 0.70 @ 5VDC (3.5W) and A 0.55 @ 12VDC (6.6W).  Eight hard drives would put on 28W load on the charge of rail and 5V on the 12V rail 53W.  Double this amount if you want a sturdy margin of safety.

  Your PC will probably rely on 180W peak due to the older Intel CPU.  I doubt that you will have no problem to start six drives on the PC with the stock power supply.

• Power management & random question sleep/put into hibernation

  Hello people!

  First of all, I'm an administrator COMPUTER experienced, and I've owned 6 Thinkpads over the years... the machine in question is today a Thinkpad W530 (K1000M, 16 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD Intel, Windows 7 x 64, latest drivers and BIOS).

  I had a weird problem where out of no where, and while on battery, the computer will go to the default mode ' uh oh, battery runs out, record everything! Aka, if Hibernate is enabled, the computer will be in hibernation. If I disable Hibernate in Windows, then the computer go to sleep. So the problem is same, and for other symptoms can present as "hibernate without warning" instead of "sleep without warning.

  In any case, this occurs sporadically and often at times that bothers. The first few times, I didn't know what has increased, but I looked into it a little further now.

  Immediately after this forced sporadic "sleep" / "hibernate" happens, I checked the event log:

  "

  The system to sleep.

  Reason to sleep: battery

  "

  Now, obviously, this is no good. I was a little confused the first time I saw that as the power manager, or the built-in Windows gauge showed low battery. And after that I take for sleep/hibernate mode, the battery is still fine.

  Today, however, I only found a major clue. This time, instead of simply jumping to a sleep/hibernate event, I got a low battery critical Windows popup warning first, and looking at the Windows battery meter was shown left 7%, even if Lenovo Power Manager gauge showed a little more than 50% left. Almost immediately after, he does it is sleep and I wake him up once again, and of course, as always, the battery level returns to normal.

  If long story short, it's a pretty serious battery level report bug somewhere in the drivers of power? Or is it a bad battery? (And if that were the case, why only Windows reports the State of the intermittent dangerously low battery, Lenovo Power Manager no?)

  Just curious for some feedback, otherwise, I'll have to start RMAing parts, or even the entire machine. Of course, having Windows sometimes think that the battery is not about to die is not acceptable. Imagine if I was doing something critical and decides the computer "uh oh, battery low time.» close it as soon as possible! ».

  Yes. Define your event of critical battery doing nothing. It is a workaround, but it is not too bad workaround.

• To start the Question?

  Hi, I bought Final Cut Studio with FCP 5 a few years for video personal edition, updated the studio for FCP7 when it came out, and memory, it came with a great tutorial from Apple Pro Training called Blue Horizon trailer. I remember what you accessed through the edit in FCP, movement, sound editing title STP and finally creating the DVDs in DSP.

  I have not used the FCP in a long time now and I start my drone video and GoPro as well as many tables with sequences DV and HDV from my son since his birth I finally want to bring together all the best clips in a movie memories.

  I come to reinstall Final Cut Studio that I continued to read THAT FCPX wouldn't my camera Sony HVR - A1E. I thought I'd go through the tutorial Apple once again as a reminder, I first noticed that the movement is disabled then thought that I should skip this part. Anyway after importing the first 4 bands, I downloaded the trail of FCPX and it is important both DV and HDV form my device without any problems. So now I am seriously considering the purchase of FCPX, before I do I just have a few questions.

  1. I noticed PLEASE get more, I have to buy something in addition to FCPX or it will do what I need?

  2. what I need to buy Motion or FCPX not good titles? Even though I have an intro video in After Effects, I would like to import into, but as his record as a. MOV, I should be able that it is sufficient to include in the FCPX scenario?

  3. do I need to buy compressor for the weird film? Most will target only YouTube, Vimoe, FB, iPad. Only the video of my son may end up on DVD.

  4. what you use today instead of DVD Studio Pro because it is not in the Mac App Store?

  Sorry that was long... I just wanted you to be aware of my needs to get the right answers, I hope.

  Thank you very much

• Re: Satellite A105 - seeing of power started flashing orange/battery not charging

  I have a satellite A105-4054, which gave excellent service. Yesterday, the orange started power light flashing and ceased to charge the battery. I had a second freshly charged battery, that I used instead and the power led still flashes in orange.

  I checked the Original Toshiba charger that came with the device, with a voltmeter and it shows 15 volts, which is correct. The laptop starts normally with a freshly charged battery, but it does not load when it is plugged and the power light flashes orange constantly. If I remove the battery and leave the laptop plugged in, continually amber power light flashes and nothing happens (no voltage). I'd be happy to run just the laptop on AC, but it is not possible now

  The toshiba power utility system icon, when the laptop is started on the new battery, flushing back and forth between the load and the battery, and the battery does not seem to charge. Previously, the power utility would show current alternative continuously when the unit is connected and the power light stay blue.

  I love the laptop, because he rendered services superb and would like to keep. All reasonable solutions, please?

  Thanks guys (and girls)!

  On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem, but after reading your detailed ad, I think there is problem with electronic power supply on the motherboard. Technicians with tools only special diagnostic can say with certainty what the problem is here.

  In my opinion there is not a lot you can do about it, and in this case, entire motherboard must be exchanged. If you want to contact the nearest authorized maintainer, explain the situation and I hope that they can tell you more.

• Satellite T130-hard disk/disk-Start Up question

  Hello

  I have a T130 2 years old that I use every day for work and have known no problem at all with him until a few days ago, when I noticed that it was taking longer than usual, to power.

  I checked all of my updates were up-to-date they are as far as I am aware of the Tempro and Windows. I did an AVG scan and nothing came out of the ordinary there and I'm still more than a third of the space on my hard drive.

  Everything was going well for a few days then yesterday when I tried to turn on the laptop wouldn't turn on at all--after several tries, on what he finally came and I kept it in sleep/stand by mode until I find what is happening. I ran the Diagnostic PC tool and everything is coming as a PASS except for the hard disk which appears in case of FAILURE. My USB pen is not registered when I try to use it. That said when I checked the PC Health Monitor, it says that my HARD drive was working and that my hard drive was 'good '.

  I assume from the above that there can only be one disk hard question - what is my next step? This kind of thing is easy to repair? Am I covered for what is a matter of product and less than five years, since I bought the laptop?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is not present in the BIOS, you will need to replace the HARD drive with a new one.
  Do you know how to access the BIOS?
  Switch on and press the F2 key. Now, you should check the first page of the BIOS. Usually the CD/DVD drive and the HARD drive must be included with all the details.
  If the BIOS could not recognize the HARD drive, this means that the HARD drive is faulty.

  To my knowledge, you could use a simple 2.5 HDD.
  Here is a beautiful statement containing a few photos and film how to replace HDD on T130 series.

• HP ENVY Phoenix 850-065se: HP ENVY Phoenix 850-065se Power Supply replacement Question

  On point to start using my new 850se and, like others, have long-term supply concerns with the unit from 500W to come with this model. Finally the PSU will have to be dealt with during the upgrade or this power will die quickly.  I thought I could just install a Modular 750W Cool Master PSU I have to just to fix the problem from the outset for the life of the platform. I jumped open the case and power supply cables was moving to look at and check the PSU is actually 500W (it is).

  At first glance, everything in the 850se looks compact and compatible with a new PSU standard - then something cought my eye. Someone else saw the connector connecting the power supply that connects in the CD player? I'm not some tech pro by any means, but I'm not completely new at this stuff, and for the life of me I can't understand what is the connector. I am confused where I am fearful that it's some exclusive HP nonsense. I have never seen him and can not find maps while rummaging around looking. My only thought was there must be an adapter for the FDD or the 4 pin connector. I hope it is something simple that, for some reason, I just never saw.

  If it's something completely owner, then I guess I can go along without the cd player. It's not like I need for what these days - but would of course I would powered it so it is an option.

  Help at all or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Specs below:

  Kupchr36, welcome to the forum.

  The PSU is ATX standard.  You should be able to update without any problem.  However, until you decide to upgrade the video card, it should work fine.  There is a lot of power for OEM components.  Personally, I love the Corsair products.  They are lovers of quality at a reasonable price.

• Cord power 6700 Officejet question

  Is it possible to connect my all-in-one printer fax scanner to my surge protector CyperPower?

  Hi @LoriOKC,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand you're wondering if you can plug in your all-in-one printer fax scanner to my surge protector CyperPower. I'm happy to help you!

  It is recommended to connect the power cable directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Please see this guide questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power. This is true for printers and ink jet.

  Hope that answers your question and have a nice day!

• Oracle database won't start - Interview Question? How to answer Interview in short-

  Hello people

  I am Java programmer, trying to gear to Oracle DB, attended a few Interview.

  So far in the Interview they ask this question "How do troubleshoot you if Oracle database is not running / does not start?

  Since I have no experience in real time.

  I would say that I'll go and do a TNSPING, check the Listerner.ora entries. If Windows I will tell me that I'll check Services.

  but so far, it seems that they are not happy with my answer.

  So I ask each of you to tell me how I should answer.

  I know it's the open question but how should I tell them in a nuttshell.

  Thank you

  but so far, it seems that they are not happy with my answer.

  So I ask each of you to tell me how I should answer.

  I know it's the open question but how should I tell them in a nuttshell.

  Well - until now I disagree with ALL of the other answers!

  IMHO the FIRST STEP in ANY troubleshooting task is to CONFIRM that the problem really exists.

  The KEY part of this confirmation is to get ALL the information available to the person reporting the issue. In an interview which is SIMPLE - the person reporting the issue is sitting right in front of you. So instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off you should begin by asking a few key questions:

  1. you said that the data is not running

  a. IS IT supposed TO BE running - that would be my VERY FIRST question!

  b. How do you know this? A user did report it to you? Have you tried to use yourself?

  c. How do confirm you the DB was down? Have what measures you taken?

  d. What do you mean by DOWN? Stone cold dead? Running but not accessible to business users? Running but inaccessible to anyone including DBA?

  e. what other information you have about the problem? Have you checked the log of alerts? When was the last time it was running normally? What could have happened since then to bring it down? There were backups or scheduled maintenance tasks?

  2. you said that it does not start

  a. How do you know this?

  b. did you try to start it yourself?

  c. how the restart was attempted? how much? where (what machine)?

  d. what command they use? They use 'EM? Or a console?

  (e) what has been the result? What has been the response on the console (if the console has been used) what has been the result if EM has been used?

  Your answer to that seemingly simple question should have been to about a dozen questions of your own like I did just above. There is NOTHING to do, IMHO, before getting THE news AND ALL of the one who reports the problem - that includes interviewers.

  Disappoint my more great in interviews is when otherwise intelligent people are so reluctant to ask questions to get the information they need to understand and confirm the question/problem.

  The above is why I "disagreed" with the other responses made so far. Certainly, the alerts log is important and must be checked. But it's a lot easier knowing what the person concerned (interviewer) know asking them just before starting to run. As far as we know that the interviewer was ready to tell you what the alert log say if you just ask.

  My rule #1 in an interview: ASK QUESTIONS!

  Anyone who is not asking questions in my interviews gets demerits. I can train someone how to solve problems and perform DBA tasks. But I found it almost IMPOSSIBLE to tell when they don't know something if they don't ask questions or tell me "I don't know".

  If someone just asking these questions above this would indicate to me that they know how to FIND the information they need, even if they don't know yet how to use this information.

• Dell (All in One) Studio One 1909/19 power start mystery

  A friend asked me to look at Studio One 1909 sister who does not illuminate.  She brought to Best Buy for repair and was told it was the motherboard and don't bother fixing.  When the computer is connected for the first time in the CD eject light doesn't light up for a short period and then goes out, no. fans no beeps... nothing.

  I tried a few things to get started, unplugged power wedge, CMOS battery check button to delete all connections etc... but he seemed dead and I was coming to the same conclusion that the technician at best buy, maybe bad power supply or motherboard dead.

  I called my friend and gave him the bad news and then he told me that he had the computer running after that he brought home from his sister's House.  He said all started and went very well and he left him when he went to sleep and when he woke up the next day it would not start no matter what he tried. He asked how the motherboard could be dead if he was running so well for 1 day.  I decided to give another glance to the computer.  I removed the power button checked, checked all the connections of power once more and did not find any obvious problems.  I plugged the computer while I had it put on the table, face down and left for a period of time before I went back to it.  I stood the computer up and to my astonishment started computer and everything went perfectly.  I was curious about what I touched to start.  My excitement lasted only until the next morning, when the computer will not turn on.  I came to the conclusion that the face of the computer down was the thing that allowed me to start the computer.

  I worked with the computer for a few days and understood that he would in a kind of "Eve" from 1 to 02:00 and to restart I have let face down for about 1/2 hour before starting the system.  I tried different things every night, unplug overnight, leaving to run, stop and leave it plugged in, and the results were the same every morning, regardless of how I left the computer the night before, he would not be running.  Last night after I left the computer face down and this morning I put it up and it starts right now.

  My theory is that some sort of pressure is put on the touchscreen sensors placing it face down and he wakes up the computer.  I tried many things before I discovered this trick.  I went to the CMOS settings, the first day I was able to start the computer and the only problem I noticed was that the date was wrong, so I fixed that and all reset the default settings.  I put the power options in windows to never go in mode "sleep" but I don't think that the operating system is in any way related to this problem as it would go in this hibernation even when unplugged.  I still think it's a motherboard problem, but do not know what could be the cause.

  I tried to update the BIOS A04 Version but I read in the forums about the systems in brick after the BIOS flash and I don't want to risk it with someone elses computer.

  Anyone have any ideas on what could be the problem?

• Power Supply compatibility question

  Hello!

  Tomorrow, my new Dell XPS 8700 arrived. I opted for the internal model with 8 GB of RAM and 1 TB HD, Intel i7 4790.

  In the meantime, I ordered a few updates - specifically a 128 GB mSATA drive, an extra 1 TB internal HD and a Gigabyte GTX 960 overclockee edition.

  Currently, I have concerns that the stock power supply may not be up to the task - and am shopping around just in case. I met one at an incredible price, and have two questions for anyone here with experience in this field:

  (1) Will Dell installed standard power supply handle additions above?

  (2) if not, is compatible with the machine down and architecture Haswell?

  www.TigerDirect.com/.../Item-details.asp

  Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

  Welcome to the club of 8700 XPS!

  XPS 8700 OEM power will be well with a GTX 960.  No reason to spend, even if you add the mSATA and an additional HARD drive or two.

  The mSATA reader will probably less than 5 extra watts, and the HDD is maybe 10 watts max.

  And, insofar as this power supply, it seems that it is done by abderrazak, and is not a manufacturer that I heard a lot about.

• TOSHIBA Power Saver - SP6000 question

  Hello

  I recently had to reinstall the Toshiba Power Saver on my SP6000 utility. Since then, I can't find any possibility to change the method of 'cooling' ('optimized battery', 'performance' etc.).

  Can I have EVER had, so I could be talking nonsense here :-) It's just that I seem to remember having this option before. I'm trying to force my laptop shorten the CPU rather than keeping the cooling fan marketing every few minutes, and I thought that was possible using the method of "cooling".

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon!

  Hi, Jerry

  First of all, I hope that you have installed the appropriate for your model energy saver. ;)

  Launch the energy saver and Power Save Modes tab there is an option called FULL POWER subsector first. It must be marked, and then click details. At full power, properties select tab power saving Mode and there is option method of cooling. On this site, you can choose between three options:

  -Maximum performance
  -Performance and
  -Battery optimized

  I hope this little description to help you.

  Good bye
