Questions re Clip + with wire frayed battery

After that my Sansa Clip + is accidentally entered into the washing machine, I left on a windowsill sunny for a few days and then left in a bag with bundles of desiccant silica gel for about a week. At first it seemed to work very well, but he began to stop randomly when I listened to everything moving. After that reading messages in these forums, I tried to reset, reformatting and updating the firmware. The problem persisted, so I opened the case and found that one of the sons of the (black) battery has a small section where the insulation has disappeared and all but one of the strands of wire are broken. I was careful to open the case, so I think it happened when my Clip + struck during washing. I may or may not be able to find someone with the skills and tools to fix the battery cable (that would not be me).  In the meantime, I have a Clip + works when it is plugged into an AC charger, so I hope I can continue to use it in this way.

Here are my questions:

1. If I use the Clip + in this State with an AC charger is there a risk it will overheat and ignite or explode?

2. is there a way to update the firmware on a Clip + which only works when plugged into an AC charger?

3. is there a way to install RockBox on a Clip + which only works when plugged into an AC charger?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

I understood how do.

It turns on the cable provided by Sansa USB plug, the pins for power are slightly longer than the data pins. So after you copy the firmware file, I supported the USB connector a little at a time until I got to the point where only the power pins were engaged. This triggered the installation of the firmware.

I was then able to use the same technique to finish installing Rockbox. So now I have Rockbox on my Clip + and I can play using the AC adapter. Hooray!

  • Questions on Clip + and (Clip + vs Fuze) Fuze

    Hello

    I'm going to buy a 8 GB Clip + or Fuze 4 GB, and 8 GB microSD. I read a lot of Clip + vs Fuze subjects, a lot of comments, but it won't get me anywhere, I'm still not sure that one would be better for me. You would help me a lot if you answered my questions. Even if it's subforum Clip +, and I assume most of you have Clip + or it's your favorite, please be fair with me on both players.

    (1) who has the better battery life? How it will change over the years? What happens if I listen to mostly FLAC?

    (2) that best understood earplugs?

    (3) do rockboxed Fuze sounds better than rockboxed Clip +? I heard that the rocket gets better EQ.

    (4) a port USB owner fuze. Does this mean I have to buy something more to connect it to the pc?

    (5) I saw the comments from users on both players in the review of the comments. There were many people who were not satisfied with the rocket because "it does not work, will not connect to the pc, I got white screen" etc. etc. when nobody said something like that on Clip +. " Is Fuze very much likely to get in the mess or is it just because more tech newbs like rocket?

    (6) I'm listening to binaural beats. Fuze and Clip + with caps default enough for this task? (the question is probably for those who also listen to binaural beats)

    (7) what (V1, V2) version of both players is better and why? How to know the version of the player before buy you? Can all be rockboxed?

    (8) this wall charger will be ok with rocket or Clip +? http:// www.acme.eu/en/Catalog/chargers_and_rechargeable_batteries/battery_chargers/acme_charger_ak03_for_mp...

    (9) Fuze 4 GB or 8 GB Clip + (both with 8 GB microSD)?

    That's all for now. Answering these questions would probably save me many sleepless nights I have when thinking about which player to choose thank you

    PS Sorry for my English

    1 fuze has a battery more large and the greater autonomy.

    2. I think they are the same (and you have to provide your own).

    4. the cable comes with the "rocket".

    5. people always have problems with Tech - the same with Clips.

    6. you will probably get a v2 at this stage.  Rockbox is being developed for both versions.  I'm not aware that there is a difference from the point of view user between v1 and v2 - it's intestines that have changed.

    7. Yes.

    8. it depends, as always, your needs.  Wheel scroll, video, screen, battery life: Fuze.  Size, clip, factor of kindness: Clip.

  • In Movie Maker 6.0 can a video clip (with mute) be spliced in another video clip so it seems to work with the original sound of the first video?

    Hi, I put a video together for my MOM to 70th and one of her friends has provided a video clip of her playing a classical piece on the piano for several minutes.  I would like to cover this clip with other video sequences (landscapes, etc.) whereas the way piano since the main video track in the background.
    I tried to let fall the piano video file directly in the audio editing panel and then cut a second 20 segment in the video editing and insert a 20 second video (mute) images of landscape. However, the piano audio from the first video stops as soon as the strike chronology inserted piece landscape and picks up again when it ends, even if the audio scenario shows the audio piano continuously?  Am I missing a step or is this not possible?   Thank you very much.

    It should work quite as much as you described in Windows Movie Maker 6.0 (WMM 6.0), then maybe there is a step that is missed.  Let me describe how I could do and see if there's something you overlooked.

    First of all, I assume that you have already imported the clip of piano and your other clips of landscape in your collection then you can drag the there where necessary.  First, drag the piano music to the track Audio / Music in the timeline panel.  Note that if you have your video extended timeline, it will show video, Transition & Audio, but you want to get off- below that, to the Audio / Music , to follow.  At this point if you play your 'film', you should not to see any picture but just to hear the sound of the piano.  You should also only see a waveform on the audio / music.

    Now you can put anything you want on the video track.  Let's start by putting another copy of the original video of piano, but this time on the video track.  If you have developed the video track (to see the Vidéo/Audio/Transition) you will see the video piano and its associated audio waveform.  However, in your case, since you already have the audio separated, you want to cut that his partner.  Right-click on the Audio (attached to the video) track and select Muteor use the menus (Clip > Audio > Mute).

    When you preview the project, you have synchronized video browsing with the original copy of the audio piano.  At the point in the video where you want to replace the video with another piano play, making a split (key M).  Make another split at the end of the section.  It is very import that select you the video track when you add new divisions and you have not also be divide the track Audio / Music .

    Important: You want to make sure this divide the part that has the exact duration as well as landscape images, you want to replace.  So if you have 20 seconds to add, you divide 20 seconds piano images.

    Right-click on the part of piano footage (video track) and choose Remove.  Then, insert the part of sequences of landscape (also on the video track) in its place.  Once again, you will have need put this added sequence muted landscape (Clip > Audio > Mute).

    You should now see and hear the piano play.  Without any change in the audio playback in the preview window should implement the landscape images, then returns to piano images.

    If you find that your project is not behaving correctly after these splits, but are you sure that you have followed these steps, it could be a problem with your video file types.  If in doubt, try to convert all your videos to .wmv format using something like Freemake Video Converter (freemake.com)

    In any case, I hope that you are able to achieve, because it is certainly possible.  Good luck and post back with further questions or information, you can have.

  • Make a group of clipping with a compound path

    So, as of today, I am new to scripting for Illustrator, I use the ExtendScript Toolkit. However, I am not new to my own script solutions and I do not have any experience with JavaScript.

    What I'm trying to do is the following: for all selected items-> duplicate selected item and make a group of simple clipping with it

    What I'm left with visually does not change the picture, but gives me a lot of clipped colored areas that I then can I change in isolated mode, which allows me good shading faster and better. That the doing by hand takes hours on some pictures, it would take a second with a script.

    The script itself is already works for normal PathItems. As evident in the title, as soon as I have to apply the same thing to CompundPathItems things stop working. My question is a bit like this old thread [problem with clipping path transparent], but I couldn't find a solution because I get different behavior.

    When I run the same script that works perfectly with the normal PathItems with CompoundPathItems I get this: 9046 error: the top element in the group must be a path element to create a mask

    Well, it's a problem. There is absolutely no difference between making a clipping with a simple path mask and a compound path in the GUI. Frankly reference guide not helped with this problem at all, the only thing that I learned from it is that the CompoundPathItem object is an attribute of cutting, but those included PathItems.

    Here's what I have so far:


    If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'PathItem') {}
    newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
    copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
    Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
    newGroup.clipped = true;

    }

    As I said, this part is exactly what it is supposed to do for normal paths.

    For CompoundPaths, I use this work around.

    If ([i] selected. TypeName == 'CompoundPathItem') {}
    newGroup var = doc.groupItems.add ();
    copy is selected [i] .duplicate (newGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);.
    Selected [i] .moveToBeginning (newgroup);
    compoundItems = selected [i] .pathItems;
    compoundIndex = compoundItems.length;
    for (f = 0; f < compoundIndex; f ++) {compoundItems [f] .clipping = true ;}
    var lineList = new array (10);
    for (l = 0; l < lineList.length; l ++) {lineList [l] = new Array (I * 10 + 50, ((i-5) ^ 2) * 5 + 50) ;}}
    newPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add ();
    newPath.setEntirePath (lineList);
    newPath.moveToBeginning (newGroup);
    newGroup.clipped = true;
    newPath.remove ();

    Mind you, this workaround works in so far that it ignores that annoying error and evil and composite clipping path also works with the only problem being that created composite clipping path as it is always displayed in its original colours in the layers section and is always selectable. When I lock the composite clipping path I can work with it, but still...

    So the question is, what am I missing here? Surely, there must be a good way to do this.

    app.executeMenuCommand ()? That is me away so far, might be just the right thing. I will definitely take a look, now just to find a ref about it, because unfortunately official documents Ref I do not mention this command. Any place with a list of possible commands?

    Ah, also of course I only do for the isolation mode. If you care to hear the background, it is here:

    As I said it's for photos of shading, I'm working on. I repeated and tried through a bunch of techniques. For example, gradient mesh on my first few true works. Now these cracks don't do well with complex shapes, which previously I mitigated by using a simple square or rectangle gradient mesh and using the original form as a color clipping mask. It worked, but it was a huge field of work.

    After a lot of attempts that I went to the use of simple gradients as a background for the form, and then I do the shading freehand with the blob Brush tool, using a graphic style and filters to make it look like to the right. Is better, but do it right all the clipping masks takes me much more time than anything else.

    Now the problem is that shading is not supposed to cross the lines, it's impossible to do correctly without messing up the order, either using clipping masks, where the script. Because you know, if you use a form of the task with a strong Gaussian blur near the lines, you'll find yourself with stuff on both sides. If you do not start close to the line that the shading will be not look right if the darker the shade needs to be close to the line. And that's where magic of clipping masks.

    And finally, here's an example of how I work with the script and the result:

    After that I drew a sketch, adjust the line widths and at the neatness I turn the paths to sketch the lines and then turn them into a live paint Group (which would ruin the line widths, unless you put the paths in first contour lines).

    With this live paint group need me a few minutes to color my piece dish. Then I develop the live paint group, in case of doubt, spend a few more minutes to make transparent traces of all regions, I need the shadow in one piece, and then I select all areas and use my script to activate the neat clipping masks. Then I can click on any field, enter the isolation mode, and go up one level, so I'm in the appropriate group, where I can shadow freely without the problem beyond the lines.

    At the end which allows me to apply shading complex and comprehensive, without wasting time to get there.

    PS: well, I just found out that draw inside is really close to what I want to do, and oddly enough, it produces the same Visual discrepancy with transparent traces that produces my script. I'll take a closer look that, while my script is a little more than just the stuff of clipping mask, so maybe I'll go for a hybrid solution. Everything that makes for a better workflow.

  • need to do a second 20 HD clip with a moving background image and the text it is flies in...

    Your question is not really explain much of what you need to achieve.  I don't know what a "cross image database", sorry.

    After Effects is a fairly complex application, and you will get much more satisfaction if you start at the beginning and learn the basics before jumping in too deeply.

  • How to combine left half a clip with right half another

    My situation; I'm filming me as 2 characters in 1 shot.  I have 2 clips with the same game.  In a clip, I am sitting on the left, in the other, I sat to the right.  I would like to combine them into a single element where half a clip left combines with half right on the other.  It is slightly different from the next, cutaway and image in the image.  Is this possible in imovie?  Help appreciated, thanks.

    Hi, Paulways,

    You will not be able to combine half a clip with half left right of the another clip using the cropping features of iMovie video.    However, you may be able to do it using Quicktime.  What you need to do is to crop each clip so that it plays in less than full screen.  In other words, a clip that you just want to the left to play and the other clip just on the right side.  Then you could combine clips in iMovie using side by side.

    Before proceeding to any culture, first you want to duplicate your clips and work with the duplicates if you keep your original recordings.   Once you've duplicated, try the following steps on each clip using Quicktime to crop on the right or left side as needed:

    Now you should have two clips, one that plays only the left side and one that plays only the right side.  You should be able to import it into iMovie and use the side by side feature combine them seamlessly.   At least, I think it works.

    If you try it, let us know how it worked.

    Best,

  • Questions about the BIOS update and battery charge on Satellite M30 104

    Hey,.
    I try to update my BIOS, but it does not work because my battery won't charge any more, if a window always tells me that my battery is not enough. Yet, the reason why I'm updating my BIOS is that I read in a forum that might solve my problem of battery charging.
    I'm fairly certain that the battery is not the problem itself: I bought a new battery, it worked for 10 minutes once or twice, then again the load stop completely.
    If anyone knows what the problem is or how to update my BIOS, please...

    Hello Celia

    I am not a technician, but as far as I know, BIOS has nothing to do with charging the battery. In my opinion, there are some problems with e-procurement (electronic load). Sorry, but I imagine that you must contact the partner in your country.

    They have diagnostic tools and it can be verified. Please call and simply explain the situation.

    Good luck!

  • Equium L10: Problem with the main battery and battery RTC

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Equium L10 and it is about 14 months old and I have problems with the battery and how much time it takes after a full charge. I also have problems with the RTC battery and an ERROR 0271: check date and time settings message when I turn on the laptop.

    Regarding the battery, I can fully charge it upward in about 3 hours, but when I start to use it, apparently in the last few hours around one and a half or so and then it needs to be recharged. I can have down for about 40 minutes and then turn it off and come back later or in a day or two. How long should I expect from a fully charged battery?

    About the batttery RTC, it really becomes a pain and I only started to get the message of the ERROR 0271 start-up, in recent weeks. I can charge the battery pack and then leave for a few days, but when I turn it on, I get the message ERROR 0271 on the date and time incorrect. Surely after a full charge, the RTC battery should last longer than a few days?

    The manual says that if the RTC battery is exhausted or becomes weak, you must charge the battery of the CCF for 24 hours, in a different part of this manual indicates between 24 and 48 hours, but how can load you for long when the sections concerning the charging battery pack status after charging the battery you unplug the power adapter because leaving connected will shorten the life expectancy of the Battery Pack. So, how we can charge the battery of the CCF for 24 to 48 hours if we shouldn't leave the AC adapter plugged in once the battery is charged - which is nearly three hours. Suggestions about these problems would be appreciated.

    Besides we all know that it is easy to change the CMOS/RTC battery in your desktop base unit, but is it easy to change in a Toshiba Equium L10?

    Concerning

    Brave0

    Hi Brave0,

    The normal recommendation for the CMOS (RTC) battery is to leave the laptop connected to the power supply at least 12 hours when the main battery is fully charged. The charging circuit is going to hijack the current to the load automatically RTC battery and no current will be forwarded to your main battery.

    Recommendation do not leave the power adapter is plugged in the main battery is fully charged is really only applicable to older laptops that used no batteries Li - ion and therefore they had to be completely discharged before recharging to avoid any effect 'memory' of the battery.

    With modern Li-ion batteries, it is quite safe to leave the battery when fully charged and still power the laptop from the AC adapter. The charging circuit will pass all the battery charge if it is fully charged.

    Kind regards

  • I'm having a problem strange sync my 4 GB Sansa Clip + with Winamp

    Sansa Clip + 4 GB

    MTP mode

    MicroSDHC 32GB

    Windows 7 64 - bit Winamp (no additional plugins)

    I recently bought a new 4 GB Sansa Clip + with a 32 GB MicroSD card. Using Winamp, I synced my library on the SD card. Everything went as not expected, no problems to report, I could play all the songs perfectly.

    But now, whenever I try to sync the SD card in the player, Winamp does not appear to recognize the files he had previously synced. A window tells me that there are X number of songs on the Sansa Clip + who are not in the library and encourage me to remove them, let them, or cancel. (photo of the box below)

    Basically, Winamp tells me again and again to remove and re - sync a load of songs that are already on the player, which is extremely long and tedious, when all I want is to synchronize an album or two. This happens even if I plug the appliance, let it cool off, and then plug it back to synchronize again.

    If anyone has had this same problem and would be willing to share the solution, me a huge favor. Thank you.

    Nevermind, I figured it. It turns out that the solution was to set the USB MSC instead of MTP mode. Who would have thought?

    Thanks for any help.

  • Create a clipping with a background color mask?

    I recently made the switch using CorelDRAW for my vector art to mainly using Adobe Illustrator. I know of course that there will be some features that are exclusive to Illustrator and CorelDRAW exclusivity, but I've done the research on trying to find the "equivalents" in Illustrator for some tasks I could do in CorelDRAW.

    I know that the tool in Illustrator clipping mask is very similar to cutting power in CorelDRAW. What I'm trying to determine is if it's possible in Illustrator to create a clipping with a background color mask. In CorelDRAW, I could create a shape with a color fill Uni, and then insert an image with a background transparent, as shown below.

    Capture 1.JPGCapture 2.JPG

    Now, in Illustrator, when I create a shape with a color, then he and a pattern that is transparent to create a clipping mask, the color disappears:

    Capture 3.JPGCapture 4.JPG

    Is there a simple way to create a clipping with a solid background color mask? The only work around, I've found so far is a form of solid color, the same size as what I want to be the size of cutting with my transparent motive, then staple in another form of the group. As I said though, just curious to know if there is a simpler way to do this, or if this is the method I'm stuck with.

    Thanks for any help!

    A clipping mask can have its own fill.

    There are two methods:

    -After creating the clipping mask, select the path of masking with direct selection and apply a fill

    -Use the option 'Draw inside' to create the mask. Next draw is at the bottom of the tools Panel. With draw inside the maks object will not lose its filling.

  • Merge the problem of clips with replacement of sequences of proxy

    Hello

    I have problems to find a solution to a problem I have with the merging of the Clips feature in Adobe first Pro CC.

    I am currently working on a tool for editing using sequences of proxy which I intend to replace after locking picture for color and export. The project was registered with dual sound, so my intentions were to synchronization and merge all the images in the proxy edit for an easy workflow and then replacement all clips with the original source files prior to export.

    The problem is that when I replace proxy images in the first, the merged clips don't update.

    If someone knows a solution or the solution please let me know, because my workflow would really enjoy being able to use clips of fusion, but only if I am then able to replace the images easily with the source files.

    Thank you

    Aaron

    If someone knows a solution or workaround...

    Do not use a proxy.  Use the originals of sufficient quality for final export intermediaries.
