According to the chart of his 30gig HDD, it is currently set to "DS (Slave) or Spare". Hopefully this doesnt do anything to my comp, dont have nearly enough experience with this
-
If its a short, how would setting it up outside of the case help?
It flashes immediately after plugging it in whether I press power or not, pressing power does nothing different. And unfortunately I dont have another PSU to try with.
Side question, I want to hook up his HDD to an external case so I can get his stuff off for him, would I have to worry about his OS trying to load and would I have to worry about it causing any kind of damage if his HDD is fried too? This all went down during the huge electrical storms we were having
-
Im thinking electrical surge fried the psu but need your ideas. First you might need to know that its older, ddr1, ide cables instead of sata. Anyway, i plug it in and the light on the psu flashes and u can hear it click, thats all that happens.
So....?

When i went from middle school to high school i started dieting, i lost 30 lbs in a month by following my own idea of a health plan, of course it could also be because i was still young. I would eat or drink NOTHING that had more than 5 grams of fat or 10 grams of sugar, i never even looked at calories, honesty it worked great. Good luck to ya man

Ive always made it a habit of tipping at least 5 unless its horrible service.
Main reason im asking is cause im scheduled for a massage this tuesday at la james (massage and cosmetology (spelling?) college)
-
Growing up, my mom only ever tipped food delivery drivers and the waiters/waitresses, i noticed you guys mentioned tipping mechanics and tire guys and my roommate always tips whoever cuts his hair so it got me thinking...who all is it customary to leave a tip for?

IMO the dre song just isint him i mean i know artists evolve their sound over time but its not something i thought id hear from him.

-

Just bought a new WD 2TB Caviar Green internal HDD, it says its an advanced format drive and if Im running XP with multiple partitions I need their Align software, if I have XP with a single partition then I need a jumper. My current HDD has a partition for Windows but the new one wont have one (Just going to be for storage), so do I need the jumper or the software?
If I need the jumper, where do I place it? On top of the drive it says in the 7-8 spot but according to pics Ive found on google that seems to be the spot for it to be a master drive.
I pulled a jumper off of my old IDE Seagate hdd, will that cause any problems if I use it on this Sata WD?
EDIT: Got it figured out

Well I can already tell you guys that colder weather does NOT help my bass at all, but that could just be my subs.
I warm my car up 15 mins before my shift ends but not before I head to work and I do already have plans for a remote start. I really hope my screen isnt fucked, damn Ill be pissed
-
I live in Iowa so it can get really fuckin cold, obviously my subs barely (if at all) hit when they are cold as they need to heat up so I was just wondering if there is any risk of harming them by still playing my music loud when they are still cold
I have the touchscreen dvd player, the screen hasnt been used in months (failed box design) and I was wondering if the screen will be completely fucked from the frigid cold when I can finally use it again
-
you can edit your text and just put nevermind or something or replace it with boobies and a badass video
Actually this was originally a different question that I quickly found the answer to, next time Ill make sure to go for the boobies

In case I realize I have no need to ask it or something
-
You really should check your wiring. First the grounds and rcas. Then the wiring under the hood, power, and ground to the amp. Then the subwoofer wiring. What are the voicecoil configurations of the subs?
Well I will admit I need to make a better ground connection just havent had the time due to weather, work etc.
And honestly, I have no idea what the configurations are/how to find them
-
Do you think going from the normal amp out to the sub out would really make that much of a difference? Btw, I know for a fact his wasnt on the sub out but Id be willing to do it of course.
I'm pretty sure the only difference is the head unit control for the sub.
Other than than that, the amp takes a signal from anything you hook up to it and if you notice, it has a frequency range which also picks up voices if you set it high enough
I had my amp hooked up to the rear outs and now it's on the sub out. sounds the same.
tl;dr if your head unit has sub control you're going to want it on the sub pre-out. heck, just hook it up right...
Well whenever I can find someone to build me a box for my stereo I will be able to do that, need the screen to set it up
-
I figure its a perfect thing to play on my dvd HU.
I love the techno remix of the song and the high quality of the vid, just wish the cars were a bit better to look at than what most of them were
-
lol wait a second wire? just one or actually a piece of speaker wire that has 2 conductors a pos and neg? also check the phase of your woofers it sounds like you have a phase issue. pop your speakers with a cordless drill battery to make sure they are botrh moving outward. also use a rca y adapter on your sub outcheck your rca connections as well as at the headunit need to know what kind of head unit is it hooked to the sub out? does your head unit have some sort of bass gain?
Its the Jensen UV10 dvd HU. Its hooked to the normal amp out (unsure what to do for the sub out since its only one rca). It does have bass gain but IIRC its not much and since my dad messed up on the box I cant access my screen to adjust that.
How are the subs wired?
In a way I dont understand and I think isnt right at all but the guy at best buy wired it and my brothers friend (who apparently knows a lot about car audio) said its the way he would have wired it. The amp speaker wire goes to one sub, and then a second wire goes from that sub to the other.
Nooo, its a second speaker wire haha.
What do you mean pop my speakers? Im still learning.

As posted awhile back I bought my brothers subs and amp, he bought (and was using) the exact same HU that I have, but the bass was really good in his car with bass boost on the amp all the way off and when I hooked them up to my car you could hear almost nothing even with the volume all the way up and your head right by the subs. I had to put bass boost all the way up for it to actually hit and I can tell its really wearing on them now so what could the problem be?
Subs are 2 12" Xplode and the amp is a Kenwood KAC-8105d
EDIT: He said he didnt mess with any of the amp controls either
-
Wooow, I didnt even think to look for anything like that. Well its too late now and Im sure Ill have the new comp built before I get a new tv so I wont worry about that cable. Expect to see more questions from me on this topic cause I dont know a whole lot about it. Thanks man
-
Well the only parts I could really use is the hard drive (which I figured would be for the OS and a 2tb internal for movies), my 2 disc drives but I really want to get a blu-ray burner so one will go, and the extra fan I bought for it but either way it is a bit of money saved.
42", damn I still only have a 32". I was gonna buy a 50 or 60 inch tv on black friday but they didnt have a vga port and I dont have an hdmi output on my comp yet

Yeah, the end result is always worth it though. I spent about 600 on building my computer 4 years ago, and any of my friends thought it was outrageous because they could buy a full computer with a keyboard, mouse and monitor for that price, but almost everyone of them has gotten a new computer to keep up with the times now, and the only thing I've done to mine is get a bigger hard drive and new video card and mine is still better than theirs.
I love buying from newegg, they have great customer service and I've built a dozen or so computers for people with parts from their site.
I have to say though,the most important thing I do to keep my computer in top shape is to reinstall my OS about every 3 months, which is the reason I have a second hard drive to keep all of my files in, that way I don't lose them during a reinstall(just make sure to unplug the HDD before reinstalling your OS, don't want to format the wrong drive, trust me, it sucks)
Reinstalling my OS keeps my computer from getting sluggish. It's funny that most older people think they need a new computer because it's getting slow, I make some decent money reinstalling operating systems as a side job, $50 a computer and I normally have it back to them the same day.
Im hoping I dont have to spend 600 but if I do then it will have to be done over 2 paychecks just to make sure I still have plenty for rent and all.
What motherboard would you recommend on newegg?
I dont have a set time to do it but Ive been the same way cause mine gets real sluggish after a few months usually as well.
Ive thought about doing reinstalls for other people for a small price but what do I do about the product key, I mean can the same code be used multiple times on different comps?
Whats wrong with my roommates comp?
