What does it mean if you have a notebook computer but the screen only shows black?
It could be many things.
For example it could mean a bad motherboard or a lose cable that connects the screen to the motherboard or the screen itself is damaged.
You can narrow down your problem by connecting a desktop monitor cable to the VGA port now after you connect the monitor and you can see a picture it means that your motherboard is working and you may have a lose/damaged cable or a bad screen.
Can you damage a USB Flash drive If you accidentally plug it into firewire port?
Theoretically, yes, but it is physically almost impossible without forcing it.
What is a freeze on a computer?
When a computer "freezes" it becomes unresponsive to your input. This usually happens when an error occurs and the application crashes, but the screen doesn't go back the desktop.
Another way computers freeze is when they ironically overheat, which disables the function of some of the hardware in the computer.
In a virtual memory system applications are not directly loaded into physical memory. Every process is assigned a virtual and private address space of 2GB. When an application is loaded it is mapped into this virtual space. When the application runs the code is copied from disk to RAM only when it is needed. Most applications contain code that is rarely accessd and there is no need or benefit in having this in RAM all the time. After code has been copied to RAM it will be retained for future use, often even after the application has closed. If this memory is needed for more importan uses it is immediately available as the data it contains can be reloaded from disk if needed. Using this method only frequently accessed data is in memory with the remainder kept on disk. This entire process is handled by the system and is totally transparent to applications. Note: When aplication code must be released from memory it is NOT copied to the pagefile as many uninformed sources have claimed. There is no need for this as this code is hardley ever modified and can simply be reloaded from the original files. Only data that has been modified is copied to the pagefile.
Is there a site where you can get replacement hardware for the canopied patio swings from Walmart?
yes theirs an wbsie you go to www.walmart.com and type in what you are looking for.
For replacement patio swing canopy and cushion covers go to www.swingcushioncovers.com
in a game i see that people say port to me

Where was the computer invented in?
Z3, an electromechanical programmable computer was invented in Berlin.
ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer was invented at the University of Pennsylvania.
Is data bus the same as data width?
Not necessarily. In the 8085, for instance, this is true. In the 8088, however, the processor is a 16 bit processor with an 8 bit data bus. The same is true for the 80386sx - it is a 32 bit processor on a 16 bit bus.
Step 1) Twist the two parts together (only do this if you are soldering two wires together).
Step 2) When the soldering iron is hot enough, tin the tip of it with solder or tinning compund.
Step 3) Heat the parts that are going to be joined. DO NOT MOVE THE SOLDERING IRON.
Step 4) Slowly push the solder into the heated area. Sing 1 2 3 4 5 once I caught a fish alive while you are doing this. This is becuase when you finish singing it, enough solder will have melted onto the joint.
Step 5) Clean the tip of the soldering iron by rubbing on a damp sponge.
Step 6)Leave the solder to cool and harden.
u have to use the right type of metals but for like wires u would twist the two together like _ _ not like /\ under a wire nut and use a soldering stick to heat up the exposed part of the wire and brush the solder across and it will melt on it and down into it

Use the soldering iron to heat both the solder pad and the parts lead at the same time. Give it a couple seconds to heat up and then apply your solder, using just enough to cover the soldering pad and connect to the wire lead. Then let the connection cool. Be sure that the part lead doesn't move during the cooling phase or you'll get what they call a cold solder joint. It takes a little practice but it's no rocket science, either.
The solder should be a `rosin core` solder. What that means is that the solder has soldering flux built into it which helps clean the connection after being heat activated and also helps to ensure that the solder will flow evenly as well as adhere to the metal.
A cold solder joint looks grainy and dull in appearance. A good solder joint looks shiny. If you get a cold joint, reheat it and let the solder cool down again, and if necessary, it's OK to add a touch more solder.
How many MB is an average download?
How long is a piece of string?
It depends on the file, the type of file and the format it is in. A zipped file is smaller than an unzipped one, a music file is larger than a picture file and a movie is larger than a song.....
There is no single answer to this question.
What system does the CPU uses to interpret and process input data and why?
ur processor is the main processing unit of computer.. all the logics . addition.. subraction.. multiplication.. division..
when data is input... the data is stored in ram at a particular addresses... from there the data goes to cpu(processor). the data is then processed.. that is decrypted.. calculated by alu(arithmetic logic unit).. n sent back to ram and stored at different address... then the result is shown..
the ram.. cpu.. n other parts are connected by bus.. they are really fast.. like million gb per second..
just like we live in earth n have a particular address... similarly ram has addresses. n it is mostly in hex code..
i just explained in brief.. but alot of stuffs more happen in the process...

What is the principal computer hardware device that controls the speed and processing of a computer?
The clock crystal. remove it or break it, and you will have about 5 seconds worth of time on the fastest desktop you have ever seen, and about 5 minutes of trying to put the fire out.
Why was the Guillotine in use during the Terror?
IT was used because the axe head chopping was slow and painful so, Dr Guillotine suggested that they should use a mechanism which is fast and none painful.
How can you improve graphics with pci slots?
Froogle seach (Copy paste) for list of PCI Graphics cards http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=pci+128mb+3d#=100&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-03,GGLD:en&tab=ff&oi=froogler&scoring=p If your needing performance, buy something name brand, Geforce FX series or Radeon, and double check that it is not PCI express. Research and compare.
Are pci pcie agp combi slots color-coded?
Sometimes PCI, PCI-E, AGP and other slots on motherboards are color coded... but often they are not. If they are different colors, it is usually just that different slots are different colors on the mother board in question. But there is no color coding standard among mother board makers in general.
Where is the usb port in the 2012 lancer?
It's in the glove-box along the top. Much easier to find from the passenger seat than the driver's seat.
How do you dismantle a Maxtor One Touch 1?
i would like to know also but more important i would love to buy the power cord. i was told that dismantling and reusing the hard drive inside with a new case and new power supply is the only way to get the documents from the one touch since the cables were lost.
How do you remove a video card?
Turn off the computer, open the panel, remove the screw, pull the card.
On the other hand, if you're wanting to "remove" a video card that's part of the motherboard you may need to install a video card into one of the slots, get it working then you can disable the onboard video adapter from the list of drivers in the hardware profile.
How does one use a flash memory drive for a mac that has no flash memory drive slot?
One would need to buy a USB Flash card reader. they are cheap enough. dont forget to look for a "compatible with MAC" Logo.
What to do if a PC doesn't detect USB?
If you PC or person computer is having a hard time detecting a USB try rebooting your computer. If rebooting your computer doesn’t help some suggest blowing into the USB port to make sure the dust isn’t blocking a connection. You can also try the USB on another computer to make sure it isn’t broken.
Major us corporation that symbolized the economic direction of the new information society?
