Computer Hardware

3 examples of input devices are the keyboard, the mouse, and the stylus. An input device is used for entering data into the computer. 3 examples of output devices are printers, monitors, and USB Drives. They are used for making information from the computer useful.

If you are talking about the port on the computer case, get a new one from the MFG

of your pc.

If your talking about the post on the motherboard, most times it can not be fixed.

You can see if there is another one you can use ,or switch it with one that you don't use often.

Microphones range anywhere from a cheap $10 to several thousand dollars; but you don't need to spend too much money to get a well performing mic. For instance, the very popular Shure SM58 or Audix OM2 that you might see just about everyone using is only $99.

No, a printer is not the most commonly used input device; it is actually an output device. Input devices are used to enter data or commands into a computer, whereas output devices are used to receive information or results from a computer. Here's a brief explanation of the two types of devices:

Input Devices:

Input devices are used to input data or instructions into a computer. These devices allow users to interact with and provide information to the computer. Common examples of input devices include:

Keyboard: Used for typing text and entering commands.

Mouse: Used for pointing, clicking, and selecting objects on the screen.

Touchscreen: Allows users to interact with the computer by touching the screen directly.

Joystick: Commonly used for gaming and controlling on-screen movement.

Scanner: Used to convert physical documents or images into digital format.

Microphone: Used for recording audio or voice input.

Webcam: Used for capturing video and sometimes for facial recognition.

Output Devices:

Output devices are used to receive or display information from a computer. They provide the results of computations or processes to users in a human-readable form. Common examples of output devices include:

Monitor or Display: Shows visual information, including text, images, and videos.

Printer: Used to produce hard copies of digital documents or images on paper.

Speakers: Output audio or sound from the computer.

Projector: Displays computer content on a larger screen or surface.

Headphones: Output audio directly to the user's ears.

Plotter: Used for high-quality printing of technical and graphical drawings.

So, while a printer is an essential output device used for producing physical copies of digital documents or images, it is not considered an input device. Input devices are primarily focused on providing data to the computer, while output devices display or produce results from the computer.

it happens when the your system (PC) is:

1. kept in a room from where the dust particles comes in max which results the CRT monitor in the stage of not showing nothing on the screen.

with TFT & LCD's it doesn't happen

2. or it may be a wind/air means when you have kept your system near a window from where the air comes in & out

so when these particles comes inside your system's cabinet it attacks first the CPU through which the speed of rotating decreases and makes a noise during running........

so keep your system clean dust free.

that's why the computer shop tells you to purchase a dust cover for your CPU (cabinet)

but also take this precaution that:

while switching your PC remove the dust cover so as the Temperature inside may not be too hot........

to survive...

Usage of what? If it's hard drive space it's practically nothing. If it's data usage of a dial-up Internet connection, that's at least several minutes time worth.

The job of a computer power supply is to give power to the computer even when it doesn't have any power. It is normally your adapter that comes with the computer.

Most modern peripherals. USB devices, Firewire devices , SATA hard drives, PCI express cards and Ethernet are all examples of devices using serial communication.

In the context of computer systems, IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are used by hardware devices to communicate with the CPU. However, there might be instances where you'd prefer certain devices not to use IRQs.

If you wish to prevent a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) device from using an IRQ, you generally have to go through the system's BIOS (Basic Input Output System) settings. The BIOS interface varies among manufacturers, but usually, you can access it by pressing a specific key (like F2, F10, or Del) during the system startup.

Once in the BIOS settings, look for options related to IRQ assignments for PCI devices. This setting might be under different menus based on the specific BIOS version. Once located, you can change the IRQ settings to manual and then disable the IRQ for the specific PCI slot.

Remember that changing BIOS settings should be performed with caution, as incorrect configurations can lead to system instability. Always ensure you understand what each setting does before making adjustments. Also, refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions.

It captures and records images and these can be stored on a computer.

They are installed in groups or banks of two. Most older motherboards that use SIMMs have one to three banks that can be filled with two, four, or six SIMMs. 72-pin simms are installed into groups or banks of two

A scanner is a flat-bed or hand-held optical reader, used to scan paper documents and photographs/graphics into the computer.

The central processing unit (CPU) is plugged into the motherboard. Everything else in the computer is directly or indirectly plugged into the motherboard. There are expansion boards, for instance, which have all kinds of processors on them, but they are plugged into the motherboard meaning it is the base board that everything ultimately connects to, like the foundation of a house.

This creates a connection from everything to the CPU. This is necessary because the CPU, like the motherboard, is central to the control of the computer as a whole. It ultimately controls the lowest level functions of the operating system and actually controls most things that happen in a computer. Actually, more than saying control, it is most of the work of the computer. It does the numeric operations that are what a computer, for the most part, does.

CPU = brains, motherboard = connections to the periphery

*winks*

there are several answers i could come up with for this one, depending on the OS you use, many systems use empty hard disk space and convert that into what is called "virtual memory." so systems use both, actual memory installed, and virtual "paged" memory. so to simplify the answer, the more memory you have, the less time programs have to use your hard disk "memory" to finish, or run tasks. when your drive is being accessed for memory, it takes away access time for applications. The limiting reagent model: your system can only go as fast the the slowest reagent. Information moving from memory to CPU - fastest, speed of current Information moving from Hard drive to CPU - slowest, friction of drive turning to access information More memory means more information can be stored electronically and be accessible electronically. Of course, all of this must take into account your OS and how the program you want to run is coded. If the program will not load into memory but constantly accesses the hard drive by design, more memory will not help it so much. More memory really comes into play with the processes behind the scenes in Windows. By having more space for Windows XP to run free, you allow necessary functions to flow quickly.

Core is the centre part of any celestial body.

In electrical terms a core is an iron frame that wire coils are wrapped around to concentrate the magnetic flux that surrounds a wire when current flows through it. A good example of a core is in a transformer where both the primary and secondary windings are wound on to the same core. The magnetic flux that surrounds the primary coil when it draws a current will cut the secondary coil and induce a voltage into it. The core concentrates and directs the lines of magnetic force for maximum use by the secondary coil.

PCI stands for Personal Computer Interface, and it is the current standard for most types of non-video expansion ability in computers. The cards themselves allow you to expand the operations of your computer; for example, adding more hard drives, better sound output, and extra USB ports. The cards connect to the motherboard through built in slots and have a direct path to the processor.

The characteristics of the input devices can be classified into the numbers of degrees of freedom, the mode of sensing and the type of technology used. The mode of sensing can either be isometric or isotonic.

I experienced this problem this moning, the answer was not that difficult to track down.

I am running vista x64 and the answer came from HP Advisor. Upon starting the computer I plugged a memory stick into the card reader but the operating system did not find it. I went to my computer to see if I could find it as a drive that was now plugged in and I would load it from my computer. I noticed that there were no drives showing except the hard drive and DVD drives. All the USB and Media drives were absent. After several attempts at trying to find the Media card I had plugged in, I thought, try the HP advisor (the media reader was supplied by HP). After finding it in the FAQ It was a matter of starting Media Centre to check if in fact the media card had been read. The next step was to shutdown Windows and unplug the power cord. Wait a few seconds. Reconnect the power cord. Start the computer again while holding the start button for five seconds. Once the computer restarted and the windows screen came I went to My Computer and there were my USB and media reader drives.

The touch screen only reports "grid" locations.

The only reason you could lose space is corruption in the Master File Table, and the only fix is to reformat your disk you can't delete space from your hard drive unless you replace it with a smaller one.

If you are asking about what happens if you choose to "wipe" or "delete" the free space, that just means that the free space is overwritten. You would overwrite unallocated space for privacy and confidentiality reasons. Since that is free space, no harm would occur if it were overwritten. Now, if you have an SSD drive, then you'd do better to Trim the drive, since that would reformat any previously used but unallocated blocks without adding unnecessary wear to the drive.

Software. Short and sweet. Hardware needs software to work.
