N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Jul 29 12:05PM +0100 Component supplier, filler page for website this week http://www.grandata.co.uk/ also known as Mojazzle Ltd K P House / Unit 15 Pop In Buildings, South Way, Wembley, Middlesex HA9 0HB No response to emails on failure to deliver a purchase of 3 weeks ago. Not tried phoning them yet, next week job. May just be just failure to pay the website platform and bad business practise , at this stage I know you can claim back financial loss as paid for by CC, but what is the exact process, as I've never done it before? Wait for appearance on CC statement and then what?

I could have bought from China/UK or 1 supplier in Germany with prohibitive shipping costs and I thought , paying over the odds, to the only UK supplier listing the, I'd get them the usual potal delay+ one day. A month on , HK ones would have been here by now ,doh!

stevehenderson388@gmail.com: Jul 28 12:22PM -0700 Sounds like the main caps have blown/shorted

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Jul 29 12:12PM +0100 > Sounds like the main caps have blown/shorted   Yes, in my opinion too small caps squashed into a small place on a heated part of the board, considering the amount of space available in this valve amp size, full width head . 18mm diam, x35mm, 105 deg C, is suspiciously small for 3300uF,50V. Fixed 2 proper size 80V 3300uF to the cooler metalwork and so far running fine. Wire replacements to the burnt traces, leaving unburnt and unlifted parts of the traces as "fuses"

That's what we say there!   Or maybe that's what they say at the Abysinnian Flamingo Casino in downtown Djibouti.   >10 Mbit/s cable, either straight or crossed. >It could be made to connect an old 10 BASE-T network card or it's just a >leftover from the previous century.   It's pretty old. I think my friend brought it over last year complaining it didn't work on his Mac. Of course that doesn't explain why he had it. I just gave him another cable and didn't look at his much until the other day. I wish I could tell him what I just learned but he died last march at 78.   Thanks Frank and Andy, and Jack for trying.

bitrex <bitrex@de.lete.earthlink.net>: Jul 28 03:45PM -0400 I have a Dell i7 lappy sitting in my closet for several months that seems completely dead. No lights when plugging in AC adapter, no response to the power switch, nothing. The AC adapter has tested good. It's out of warranty.   I didn't have time then to see if it was worth fixing up, but I have a use for it at this point and would like to see if I can get it running again.   Most of the laptop diagnosis texts I've seen online are outdated or simply not very good. Can anyone point me to a reference on where to get started when diagnosing this thing?

dansabrservices@yahoo.com: Jul 28 01:11PM -0700 The first thing I would check is the power connector. I have replace many of these over the years that have been broken. Either poor solder connections that have let loose or just physically broken off of the board.   Dan

mubinicyer@gmail.com: Jul 28 02:17PM -0700 Hi,   I have two B2240 LCD Monitors and second monitor displays very strange. Everything on monitor has yellow shadow. First monitor works perfect. I replaced power supply, LCD panel and processor card (I didn't find any proper name, this card has two inputs, DVI and VGA, and one output, LVDS to LCD panel) one by one and realized that processor card is not working properly. It has two inputs, DVI, VGA. I tired both of the inputs, same result. There is a chip on the board, Samsung MagiColor SE959LMH-LF. I suspect that this chip is damaged. But I am not sure. I didn't find any datasheet or cirucit diagram. How can I repair it? Bord model is BN41-01311C.   Thanks.

I might as well register if all else fails. Thanks Frank
