How to Maximize Your Laptop’s Battery Performance Author: Rainco Most laptop batteries last 18-24 months with average use. This is equivalent to 500-800 charging cycles. Average use of a battery will eventually drain the battery’s ability to hold a charge or there may be some adjustments that you can make to get better performance from your battery. However, if your battery is old and is getting less than half of it’s original run-time, then it may be time for a new battery. If you use your laptop battery everyday, use it for gaming, video streaming and are on WiFi constantly, the laptop will drain the battery run-time and over all life much quicker. Such heavy use can render the battery dead in as little as one year with heavy laptop use. Get maximum performance from your laptop battery by following a few suggestions below: Condition New Batteries New laptop batteries come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use. It is recommended that you fully charge the batt

Laptop not receiving power from AC Adapter Author: udtekadapter My wife’s laptop doesn’t react to having an ac adapter plugged in, but it can still run off of battery. (I charge her battery in my laptop and all is well, but that gets old quick.) Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I popped it open and didn’t notice anything popped or burnt, all the traces seem in tact and the capacitors are happily sitting there without so much as a bead of capci-juice running down the side. I’m hoping to be told “oh, that problem, just shake it this way, spray some air here, and off you go”, but so far HP has just been telling me it is a $400 job and I have to wait a month to get it back. here are a few things that I’d try: Try your friend’s AC power adaptor( Dell PA-1900-05D AC Adapter ) in your laptop, that’ll rule out a broken connecter there. Charge your battery using his laptop, that should give you some juice to work with. Check the internal connecter while the adapter’s plugged in, m

Illustrated how to repair laptop power cords Author: udtekadapter Your laptop goes dead and you don’t understand why because it’s plugged in. The very first thing you should look for is status LEDs. The transformer brick or ac power adapter usually has a status led on it to show that it’s plugged into a good outlet and is functioning. If the laptop adapter LED is not lit and the cord is firmly seated in both the transformer and the wall outlet, then the AC adapter is probably bad. But troubleshooting most power problems takes a little more effort. Fortunately, it’s also common for the failure to be the power cord itself, as I’ve noted with some Toshiba models. Many HP and Compaq models use “L” connectors which are less prone to failure, and Sony and Dell cords seem more robust as well, but it’s always a possibility. It seems to me I’ve seen “L” connectors on IBM Thinkpads as well. If the status LEDs on the laptop blink when you wiggle the power cord or if they can be kept on if you pos

A Few Words About The Sonic Team Author: Gen Wright The Sonic Team are video game developers based in Tokyo, Japan. They were previously called by the name Sega AM8 but today the Sonic Team division based in Japan is often called G.E. Department Global Entertainment. The studio for the Sonic Team was a collaboration of American studios like STI and Visual Concepts with in-house Japanese studios. They are best known for having created the Sonic games. In 1990, when Nintendo's Mario was very popular among video game addicts, Sega asked one of their in-house departments to innovate a game based on a character that would be popular enough to compete with the rival Mario. It was this group of creative people who later came to be known as the Sonic Team that came up with the fresh and catchy Sonic the Hedgehog that happened to comprise the later developed Sonic games series. In 1991, AM8 adopted the name from their surprisingly popular success Sonic the Hedgehog series and called themsel

The interest in this character is only increasing day by day. Sonic the Hedgehog is the most searched item on the Internet with almost 500 thousand searches per month and ever increasing search.

7 Great Computer User Tips - For Windows® Users Only An Easy Performance Enhancement If you’re using the NTFS filing protocol on your system, instead of FAT32, you can get a bit more speed by disabling Windows® Indexing. The downside to this is that searching your drive for a specific file might take a moment or two longer, but everything else should run faster.

 5 Tips To Buying Trading Cards The trading card industry is one of the most popular in all of collectibles. With everything ranging from race used sheet metal to game-used bats and rookie cards of tomorrow’s hottest stars, the manufacturers of trading cards have changed the way people collect. Some time ago, the greatest insert in a wax pack was a stick of bubble gum, but today it’s so much more. With such popularity comes great wealth, for both manufacturers and collectors, and a few tips to consider when dealing with trading cards will make the hobby not only one of profit, but also of fun.

5 Tips for Buying a Laptop Buying a laptop is a major investment decision. As such it is not one that you should make lightly. Below are 5 tips that will help prepare you for making the best and most well informed decision when buying a laptop. Tip #1 Size Matters Buying a laptop is a matter that requires some thought. Consider the size and weight of the laptop. How often will you be carrying your laptop? Your answer will help determine which size and weight will best suit your needs.

Many of us are so used to working on a computer desktop that when it comes time to purchase a new computer, we don't consider other options. Today, computer notebooks - which were once called laptops - offer a number of advantages over a computer desktop. Here are just five reasons why you should take a second look at notebooks. 1. Mobility You might be used to pulling up a chair to your computer, but it makes much more sense to pull your computer up to your chair. Laptops can certainly be used at your desk, but you also have the option of bringing them to the spot where you're most comfortable. Maybe you'd like to surf the Web in the evening out in the living room or catch up on your favorite blogs before bedtime. Notebooks with wireless connectivity can travel with you throughout your home, so you can check your email or do your Internet shopping anywhere. Of course, notebooks also make sense for those who are on the go. Students can take laptops to class and to the libra

"How to Get What You Want", Wallace D. Wattles, best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of Getting Rich", talks about the importance of "making constructive use of the people and things in your environment" in getting what you want. One way you make constructive use of the people and things in your environment is to get the help you need, when you need it. If you spend any amount of time on the Internet, you'll occasionally need someone's help... It might be help with an online purchase, technical support for a product, or some other kind of help. Regardless of the kind of help you need... The manner in which you ask for that help will determine the quality and the quantity of the help you receive now and in the future. You see... There are two ways you can ask for help online... One is "constructive"... The other is "destructive". When you ask for help in a constructive manner, you'll get the help you need, when

What are you going to write about? It should be a topic that you're passionate about or are at the very least interested in. If you've chosen blogging as your new career, then you don't want to torture yourself by writing about something that you have zero interest in, otherwise you might as well return to that mundane job you just quit! Feelings and emotions show through your writing, so your readers will notice any indifference you may have toward a certain topic that you find boring.
