Can a magnet erase the memory of a CD or floppy disk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best way to clean a floppy disk is with an electromagnet not a regular magnet. If you can put it to the back of a large speaker when the speaker is turned on, that should work. On the other hand, if you wait about 10 years, that will also do it.

How do you refill Epson Ink Cartridges?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you need a chip resetter to rifill these cartriges

The ink cartridges used in Epson's Stylus line of printers are very similar to the ones used in its other printers. A handful of cartridges--like the S020034, S020047 or S020049--may require a slightly different refilling technique, but they all basically entail opening a fill hole in the top to run down into the ink chamber within. Once the chamber is accessible, you can use a basic refill kit with a syringe bottle to refill the chamber, as with most printer-ink cartridges.

1.Hold the cartridge upside down so the outlet holes to the printer paper are on top. Cover each hole with a piece of tape, then turn the cartridge right-side up.

2.Make a hole in the top of the cartridge above each ink chamber. For most cartridges, simply poke a hole through the label with a toothpick. With cartridges like the Epson Stylus 34 (the casing of which is black), pull back the label to reveal the filling holes and puncture the seal of each home. For the 47 or 49 color cartridge, drill a 1/8-inch hole in the shell between the label and front edge.

3.Determine which color of ink is in which chamber (if you're refilling a color cartridge). The toothpick used to puncture the hole should draw out some ink to show you. If you have a cartridge in which you punctured the label directly, the order of the color chambers is usually cyan, magenta and yellow. If you created the hole in another way (like with the 34, 47 or 49 cartridges), the order is usually magenta, cyan and yellow.

4.Fill the syringe bottle with 5ml of ink. Insert the needle in the filling hole and inject the ink. There may be a sponge inside the chamber, so make sure the needle goes all the way through to the bottom. The 34 cartridge takes up to 12ml of ink.

5.Tape over the fill holes you created. If you drilled the holes, plastic plugs (like the ones included in a refill kit) can work as well. Leave the tape on the outlet holes as you replace the cartridge in the Epson Stylus printer.

6.Run a cleaning or priming cycle on the printer with the cartridge installed. One to three cycles should be enough. You may also need to let the cartridge stand in the printer overnight, or for up to 24 hours.

Distinguish between primary storage and secondary storage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Primary storage, also known as main memory or internal memory, refers to the storage space in a computer that is directly accessible to the processor. Primary storage is typically used to store data and instructions that are currently being used or processed by the computer.

Secondary storage, also known as external memory, refers to storage space that is not directly accessible to the processor, but is used to store data and instructions for longer periods of time. Secondary storage is typically used to store data that is not currently being used, but that needs to be kept for future reference.

There are several key differences between primary storage and secondary storage:

Speed: Primary storage is generally faster than secondary storage, as it is directly accessible to the processor. This means that the processor can access and retrieve data from primary storage more quickly than it can from secondary storage.

Capacity: Primary storage is typically smaller in capacity than secondary storage. This is because primary storage is used to store data that is currently being used or processed, while secondary storage is used to store data that is not currently being used.

Cost: Primary storage is typically more expensive than secondary storage, as it requires faster and more expensive memory chips.

Volatility: Primary storage is generally volatile, meaning that it is lost when the power is turned off. In contrast, secondary storage is non-volatile, meaning that it retains data even when the power is turned off.

Location: Primary storage is located inside the computer, while secondary storage is typically external to the computer and is connected to the computer through a port or interface.

When selecting secondary storage devices for a new desktop PC which is more important a CD-ROM drive or a floppy drive Why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Floppy drives are not as necessary as they once were because the industry is moving toward storage media that can hold more data, such as CDs.
The CD-ROM or optical drive. Floppy disk drives have stagnated in development; any off-the-shelf drive these days will support the highest commonly available capacity, 1.44 MB. Many people these days don't even use floppy disks.
