Ed Fair post ~ Power supply and standby circuit on the M/B work together to get the green LED operating. Until this is resolved all the other suspicions are useless. Hi Ed, very interesting, can you expand a little as i have tried a different and known PSU (as previously stated) and get the...

I had a client bring a Dell OptiPlex GX270, this is the model with the small form factor which takes half height cards etc. The initial problem was a simple case of bad memory as per Dells light and beep code. Or at least that is what it was reporting, having reseated the memory all was fine...

Hi KJV, thanks for the info, believe it or not the problem was a dodgy on/off switch, if i applied 400LB of pressure on the switch it worked, ok slight exaggeration but you get the picture.

Hi All, I'm not sure what if anything can be done here. I have been given (to work on) the above laptop. The client stated that it was taking over half an hour to start and would do nothing once it had started. Well, when i get it it does nothing, and i mean nothing, there is no evidence of...

Hi Kjv, thanks for the info, i'm told that the laptop has never overheated! I'll take the plunge and buy a new DC Jack (It's a plug in type) Yes i have had experience of blown / leaking capasitors. Fingers crossed n all that. Rich

Firstly, appologies for posting this onto the end of the previous post... Duh Hi All I Have a Toshiba Satellite A100 which will not power up. I have tried various power supplies and the original power supply on another laptop, they all work. When I initially plug the PSU in, the yellow battery...

Hi All, I have been presented with a Tosh Equium A300D 16C Laptop, with a smashed LCD. Firstly I tested the video card and ran a complete diagnostics on the laptop, everything past fine. However, upon replacement of LCD the screen is extremely dark, almost unreadable. I am going to assume it is...

Thanks guys sorted. I'm a little annoyed with myself as although I did not uninstall Norton I did remove every reference to it via MSCONFIG and restarted, obviously this was not enough. As soon as NAV was uninstalled it all worked, thank you Symantec for ruining what was once a great product...

Hi Noveyron, Thanks, your post is helpful as I forgot to mention at the beginning that I have already tried to run various selective start-ups and Diagnostic start-up, none of which made any difference. NAV has scanned and returned no infections and prior to that Spybot had been run it found...

Hi Noveyron, I have tried opendns plus three other sets of DNS servers, same results. Re reference to your previous post, I do not have personal access to the problem PC I am having to talk the end user through each scenario, therefore will do my best and get back to you with the results...

Hi Ben, yes all sites work via the proxyserver, which i guess is no suprise. Therefore it must be a DNS problem? Where to next do you think?

Interesting www.webspawner.com works with http://208.90.69.199/ but not the others. This is from my own machine which has no problems looking up the domain names, will get back to you re the clients findings.

Not sure, may need help. I know that i can look up one of my own websites http://81.34.198.29/ (riovine.org) but that is because i have allowed it. If i type in the IP address of fincaann.co.uk (http://208.90.69.202) or bookdepository.com (http://64.202.189.170) nothing. I assume there is a...

Hi, No the sites are not AV sites they are; www.bookdepository.com www.webspawner.com www.fincaanna.co.uk Many thanks Rich

I have a client who has an issue not being able to access three particular sites.. Windows XP Home edition SP2 1. Browser independent (IE, Firefox, Safari, chrome) 2. Running Norton AV security suite (turned off) 3. Flushed the DNS ' ipconfig /flushdns ' from cmd prompt 4. Changed DNS servers...

cdogg, thanks for the explanation, I was aware that there are 8 bits to every bite, however I must admit in my ignorance I had wrongly assumed that USB 2.0 (theoretically) was 480MB/s rather than mbps!!! I'm going to test the card on another computer and see what the results are, cheers again Rich.

Ben - Yes checked the BIOS, ran Micro 2000 diag software on the PC, reports back there is no USB installed, the reason i went the PCI card route. To be honest i could not find a supplier in the EU that had a half height card with the header pins to attach the the front ports. I'm not unhappy...

BadBigBen (MIS) Wrote SysRed - Oh, I see... that is a bummer... PS: mind if I ask, where you hail from? Sunny (wet) Spain Rich

PostBadBigBen Wrote question: with a total of 8 USB ports (4 back & 4 front), why is it necessary to install a separate PCI USB card? Fair question, The USB ports on the MB are no longer working (neither is the infrared which i understand uses the same controller) Also the box is a small form...

Thanks ben, i'll check it out
