Also, it is a 10Kohm pot, so would I solder a 10k resister between the two terminals of the pot?

I have a pair of Logitech Z560's that I purchased in early 2004 that have developed a hissing or cracking noise. It occurs when changing the volume and once in a while it will just happen on its own...

The machines are not networked together in any way beyond sharing a wireless connection when they are at school.

Since they are all identical machines (the serial numbers are almost sequential)...

Thanks, that is exactly what I needed.

I'm a high school science teacher and the closest thing to tech support we have on staff. I've been asked to maintain 20 computers that are not associated with our network (other than wireless...

It was the monitor.

I'm running the system in my sig with a several year old Sceptre 19" monitor and the cards are enabled for crossfire.

The display started going completely dark at random times this afternoon. ...

Didn't work...the drive isn't recognized as a U3 device.

That did the same thing. The autorun partition doesn't show up and therefore isn't removed. Its a neat little program that I'll hang on to, but it didn't solve the problem.

Partition magic doesn't even show that they exist when plugged in. And I don't have the first clue what am I doing with Linux anything.

I was given a free 2gb thumb drive at teacher's convention last week, and it is partitioned with part of it showing as an autorun disk that takes you to the website of the group giving it out.

Yeah, that is what I can't understand. They come back as seemingly functional drives as well. They are recognized by the system, state that no disk is inserted, are in administrative tools, etc. I...

I did a few days ago, and no response. I've called as well and got told to submit online.

I tried a trial of VirtualDrive to mount some ISO's and set it up with 2 virtual drives. I decided to uninstall it after it was causing some instabilities, and now I can't get rid of the drives.

I wouldn't have a floppy drive to make this work. I did get it though, I had to turn off SATA support in the BIOS, which I hadn't noticed before

The BIOS has pretty much no options in it. I don't see a drive mode setting anywhere in there, but I'll look again and post up the bios version. I THINK it is f26.

Yes, I am installing windows XP, and I have found the SATA AHCI driver for this particular laptop through HP. How do I go about making a custom install CD with those drivers installed on it? I...

I received my WD Scorpio Blue 320gb SATA II HDD to put in my HP DV2040CA to replace the failing drive. I installed the drive, booted from the windows disk and everything loaded to the point where I...

What about size? I haven't been able to find an upper limit to hard drive capacity offered on this laptop, but I assume something like 250 or 320gb would be ok

I just got my brothers HP DV2040CA and it needs a new hard drive as it gives an imminent hard drive failure warning and will not load. It has a Seagate Momentus 5400.2 120gb serial ATA hard drive.

Pretty much any DVD...games, movies, data.

I have not tried switching SATA ports, I'll do that right now and see what happens.
