Why do some computer auto start when power cable is plugged into the socket even though the power button is not turned on?

A power strip (also known as an extension block, power board and by many other variations) is a block of electrical sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple electrical devices to be plugged in. As such it can be considered a type of trailing socket though that term is more often used for single and double cable mounted sockets. The term is also used to refer to the complete assembly with the power strip on one end and a plug on the other. Power strips are often used when many electrical devices are in proximity, such as for audio/video and computer systems. Power strips often include a circuit breaker to safely limit the electric power flowing through them.

Computer won't work even though its on?
reset the computer
My computer is always making staticy noises and I mean with sound. Even with headphones in the speaker jack. It changes according to what the computer is doing like erasing text. Any solutions?
Sounds like perhaps the speakers are not plugged in securely. If you check this and it is plugged in all the way, move the cord around near each end and if it makes noises in sync with your movement with the cord, it's a bad cord. If that doesn't do anything, move the cord around in different spots from one end of the cord to the other, if it makes noise as you do it, it's the cord. If that doesn't do anything, hold the end of the plug, the end that plugs into your computer and try moving it around. When you do this, you will not be able to move anything physically but all you are trying to do is move the port that the plug is plugged into just enough to cause it to make the noise. If it doesn't make any noise. . .I don't know what the problem is! It sounds like the cord though. Whatever the problem is. . .it is'NT the computer! It's the speakers! Maybe even the speakers themselves! I wish you the best!

What is the difference between port and socket?
A socket is not a port, though there is a close relationship between them. A socket is associated with a port, though this is a many-to-one relationship. Each port can have a single passive socket, awaiting incoming connections, and multiple active sockets, each corresponding to an open connection on the port. Port identifies a service no. e.g.25 port no is for smtp

Why is there no update and restore button on iTunes?
There is. Plug your iPod into your computer and then wait for it to come onto your iTunes. Click on your iPod and then under all the details it should have an update and a restore button. I think this only happens if you have a 4.1 version of iTunes though.

Do you waste electricity if you leave your phone charger plugged in?
No. Electrical appliances, when plugged in, create a "circuit." That means that there's an entry and an exit with a powered device somewhere inline. That's why there are two prongs on a plug. On the power adapter for your cell phone the circuit isn't complete unless it's plugged into the phone, so no power will flow through it. ______________ Not entirely true. Notice that the power pack, even with no device plugged in, remains warm to the touch; that's positive evidence that the device continues to draw power. However, the drain is minimal.

Where is the AOSS button in PSP1004 k?
Near the right side of you psp if it is new there should be a small button near the power button that is the aoss button. No, there is no AOSS Button on the PSP. You have to have a router. This router is hooked up to your computer and is around a $100.00 but you have to have DSL or something like it to run a phone line though. If you do not have this you can go to a Holiday Inn or Wal-mart parking lot who has this router hooked up already. You can access to the internet there.

How is the monitor connected to monitor?
The monitor attaches to the computer with the monitor cable. There are at least 4 different types of plugs used. VGA is a common cable type, though probably no longer the most popular. HDMI, DVI and Display Port are other common types. From there, the socket connects to the display adapter plugged into the motherboard, or in a number of situations, the motherboard itself. Located there will be the GPU and related components which handle the video information. In some machines, the CPU also functions as the GPU.
