Microsoft partners with Facebook, Twitter on search

Posted by sunvalleyus on Thursday, October 22, 2009 2:06:11 AM
Microsoft is indeed bringing real-time search results from Facebook and Twitter to its Bing search engine thanks to two partnerships, search head Qi Lu and senior vice president Yusuf Mehdi announced at the Web 2.0 Summit here on Wednesday.
The Twitter partnership, which will bring all real-time public tweets to Bing, went live in beta on Wednesday at Bing.com/twitter. The Facebook deal, which will access all information shared publicly on the social network, will arrive "at a later date," Mehdi said. It's all part of Bing's strategy to harness "the emerging hot area of real-time information," he added.
 

No financial terms were disclosed for either deal; in a talk later on Wednesday at Web 2.0 Summit, Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said that "no money changed hands" in its deal with Microsoft.

"You have to do more visual things, you have to do more sophisticated things, and you have to have better access to data," Mehdi said.

This will also give Microsoft an edge on Google, which currently has no such deals in place--but both Facebook, in which Microsoft has a financial stake, and Twitter are rumored to also be talking to Google as well. (Editor's note: Separately, Google announced a similar deal with Twitter on Wednesday.) http://www.papatek.com/USB-DVI-Adapter The Twitter deal is nonexclusive, Lu said. He did not comment on Facebook.

Users of the Bing Twitter search can see tweets that match a search query listed in pure chronological order, much like Twitter's own search engine (which it built in with the acquisition of a third-party app called Summize). But you also have the option to see search results in a mode that Mehdi called "best match," where he explained that Bing's team will "apply a bunch of our search techniques and relevancy to improve the results." This will mean that popular tweets and heavily retweeted tweets are brought higher up in results, and spam and duplicate results (as well as adult content) will be filtered out.
The Bing Twitter search also aggregates information around hot topics that goes far deeper than Twitter's "trending topics": the most popular links shared on a given topic, for example, and a way to see where shortened URLs redirect.

How to chosse a Laptop Bag

Posted by sunvalleyus on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 10:52:43 PM
For this article, I originally wanted to review a few specific bags, but because there are so many types of bags and ways that people use them, I'm going to take a broader approach instead and look at some of the factors you should consider when buying this essential laptop accessory.
 
 10.2" Sleeve Case (Cooling Mat) for Laptop(Sleeve case + cooling mat for laptop )
15.4" Sleeve Case (Cooling Mat) for Laptop(Sleeve case + cooling mat)

Types of Bags -- In general, you can find four types of laptop bags. For the traditional business look, you can opt for a briefcase shape that sports one handle and possibly a shoulder strap. Briefcase bags range from slim slabs of leather to bulky expandable contraptions that offer more concealed pockets than you may ever need. The largest of the briefcase-style bags even feature wheels and handles for pulling through airports. (As far as I know, none yet feature their own motors, but never say never!)Backpacks are also popular, especially among students and travelers who prefer to keep their hands free when carrying their gear. Like briefcases, you can find backpacks that hold little more than the laptop and its power cord, as well as beefier models with enough room for your accessories, a few changes of clothes, and maybe even a very small consultant. Bike messenger-style bags tend to be larger than briefcases, with a strap that goes over one shoulder and across the chest. A second strap that connects to the main strap is sometimes included to improve stability (such as when riding a bike, naturally). Some messenger bags consist of just one large pocket where you store everything, laptop included, but you can also buy modified messenger bags that include padded compartments for laptops and accessories.

That said, hybrids and variations abound - some bags can be carried like a briefcase, slung over the shoulder like a messenger bag, and also include straps you can extract to carry the bag like a backpack. The specific type of bag is usually a personal choice based on your likely usage patterns; I own two bags I use regularly: a Timbuk2 messenger bag for when I ride my bicycle to work and a Tom Bihn Brain Bag backpack for when I'm traveling or need to carry more than my minimal complement of gear.

For the minimalist, laptop sleeves have begun to gain popularity. Sleeves hold only the laptop itself, sometimes also including an outside pocket for a few sheets of paper or a couple of CDs, though not a power adapter and cord. Sleeves are often used in conjunction with other bags (of all sorts, not just computer bags) to further protect the laptop.

How to Remote Control a Computer or Laptop

Posted by sunvalleyus on Monday, October 12, 2009 11:52:35 PM
Have you traveled on a business trip, vacation, or any other get away only to discover that you forgot to copy a necessary document or graphic from your desktop to your laptop? Unable to take a side trip home, that leaves you in a position where you have to entirely recreate it or, if that is not possible, in a position where your blunder could get you fired, make you lose your hotel room, or any other mishap you can think of.

Luckily, a prepared person will be able to remotely access their home computer via a server link they created between their desktop and laptop - this is known as remotely controlling a computer. You may have witnessed this in action at times - Dell, for example, can fix most problems with your computer as soon as you contact customer support. They do this via a remote link which you authorize them to use.

There are a number of different methods that can be used to create a remote desktop controlled environment. A tech-savvy individual could manually open a port and create a sever on their desktop and then configure their laptop to access it via the Internet. While perhaps the best option for those who want absolute control over the entire process, it is rather difficult and, if not done correctly, can leave your desktop open to viruses, spyware, and attacks.

A much simpler method has been created, and only takes a few moments to implement - this is the method that will be described in this article. You simply sign up for and download a program called LogMeIn, a certified, secure company that offers a simpler method of remote controlling your computer. There are several packages available - for the purpose of this article, we will use the FREE version. If you need to do this to several computers for, say, a small business, I suggest looking into one of their commercial plans. To set up your home PC or Mac to be remote controlled from an external location, follow the next simple steps.

Easy steps to clean your laptop

Posted by sunvalleyus on Sunday, October 11, 2009 10:36:18 PM
Step 1: Keep your cool Computer components -- processors, graphics cards, and the like -- get hot when they run. To mitigate this, laptop makers put in elaborate heat sinks that absorb the heat generated by the processor. In addition, all but the tiniest models have at least a single fan; some bigger systems have two or even three. When the temperature rises above a certain level, the fans automatically come on to keep the laptop out of the red zone. Unfortunately, like all fans, the ones in your laptop will eventually end up covered in dust and dirt, and that could spell trouble. An occasional cleaning will keep your laptop fans spinning effectively for years. But before you can clean them, you'll have to find them. Fortunately, in most cases, they're near the vents that are located around the edges of your case; these slats let cool air in and hot air out. Don't worry if they're covered in dust and lint, we'll get to that. Now you'll need to open up the laptop case.
Acer Aspire One A110 LCD Panel(Size: 8.9 inchs;Resolution: 1024*600 pixels)
LP089WS1 (TL)(A2) LCD Panel(Size: 8.9 inchs;Resolution: 1024*600 pixels)

Look for a few sets of screws, underneath the laptop near the vents. Remove the panel and look for the fans -- they're circular and plastic, usually about the size of a 10c piece, with a small propeller inside. Again, it may be covered with dust and lint. Step 2: Dust bunny patrol Now that you're inside the laptop, use a torch to look around for built-up dust and dirt. Using the eraser-end of a pencil or tweezers, pick off any nasty deposits you come across. Start at the fan, then work your way to the ducts and vents. Look under the ribbon cables, around the hard drive, and near the tiny circuit boards. Grime can hide in the oddest places, like the processor's copper-coloured heat sink, so make sure you explore all the laptop's nooks and crannies.

Acer Aspire AS5735-6957 15.6 inch LCD Screen(Size: 15.6 inchs;Resolution: 1366*768 pixels)

Step 3: Air it all out You've done the detail work, and now it's time to go big. Put on a dust mask, if you have one. Grab the can of compressed air and spray down the inside of your laptop. Go nuts. Blow out all the dust you can find. It won't be pretty, and you might want to have a vacuum cleaner running nearby to grab all the junk it as it comes out. Don't be surprised if a lot comes out of that little laptop. Step 4: Shake, rattle, and roll Now that you've made your first pass at cleaning out the inside, give your laptop a little shake to dislodge any particularly resilient dust and grime. Keep cleaning and shaking until nothing more comes out. Step 5: Key to the crumb highway Now that the inside of your laptop is as clean as a whistle, it's time to tidy up that nasty keyboard. Don't be embarrassed by what you find: Most keyboards have enough crumbs to feed a flock of pigeons for weeks. Use the can of compressed air to blow it clean, but be careful not to break any keys off. Step 6: Tighten up While you've still got the laptop open, give each of the major components a quick look to see if any are loose. A loose motherboard or hard drive can cause damage in the long run, so make sure all of the screws are tight and all of the cables are well connected. When tightening the screws, be careful not to overdo it -- gently tighten until you feel some resistance. When you're done, reconnect the access panels on the underside of your laptop.

Step 7: Clean your screen All laptop screens are susceptible to nicks and scratches, and the latest glossy, high-contrast displays show off fingerprints that even Columbo couldn't miss. We like to give our screens a quick rubdown about once a week. You can use any brand of window cleaner so long as it doesn't contain ammonia or any harsh detergents. We're partial to Sprayway, because it gets all foamy and doesn't leave annoying streaks; unfortunately, Sprayway can be hard to find in some places, and you may have to make a special trip to a glass or mirror store to find it. When wiping down the screen, stay away from tissue that leave lint behind or rough fabrics that may scratch the display. We recommend lint-free cleaning cloths, a soft cotton chamois or a microfibre cloth.

Advise of Buying a Laptop Computer

Posted by sunvalleyus on Saturday, October 10, 2009 4:07:34 AM
1. Connections can be time and money saver if you have the right ports. USB devices are multiplying rapidly. Printers, mice, flash drives, hard drives, digital cameras, and many other things come with the USB interface. So, make sure you have plenty of USB ports so you don’t have to buy an USB hub.

 
2. The warranty is a very important feature and can be the most expensive option to get. Every laptop should come with 1 year warranty from the manufacturer covering only defective equipment. Every major manufacturer and even the retail stores offer extra protection ranging from extending the manufacturer’s warranty to covering any accidents you may have. Since most defective equipment shows itself after the first year, extending the basic warranty is highly recommended.
 
3. Do you want to be able to watch a DVD on your laptop, or do you want to go as far as to be able to backup your DVDs to another disk in case they scratched? Most all laptops come with at least a CD writer\DVD reader drive standard. If you want to be able to copy DVDs or make your own, you will have to opt for DVD writer drive.
 
4. The hard drive is another speed factor of your computer. How does the storage device affect the speed of the computer? The hard drive is essentially the slowest component in your computer. This is especially apparent in laptops. The hard drive being slow is the whole reason for memory in the first place.
 
5. The second factor in speed is memory. Memory is a temporary place for your computer to store commonly used data from the hard drive. A lack in memory can severely affect the computer’s speed. Memory is measured in Megabytes (MB) and Gigabytes (GB). As a unit of measure I will inform you that 1 GB = 1000 MB. Today’s recommended amount of memory is at least 1 GB. This is especially recommended if you want to upgrade your Windows from XP to Vista when it comes out. You can get 512 MB and work with Windows XP easily, but never get a computer with only 256 MB unless you plan on upgrading the memory.
 
6. The first step in choosing speed is the processor. There are a few factors to consider in a processor. First is, do I want Intel or AMD? At this point in technology Intel has the best processor for a laptop called the Core 2 Duo. It is a little more pricy but from what rumor mills say, I expect it to go down by the end of the year. There is absolutely nothing wrong with an AMD processor, they will soon come out with a competing processor. (Blue LED Remote Control)
Aluminum FM Transmitter(Aluminum Cover FM Transmitter )
Blackberry FM Transmitter(Hands-free Car Kit FM Transmitter for Blackberry Phone )
iPhone 3Gs FM Transmitter(Hands-free Car Kit FM Transmitter for iPhone 3Gs )

Recently another factor has appeared, Dual-Core. Dual-Core means that the processor has two processing lines, and that means it can now process two things simultaneously, and double the power of the processor without taking up extra power from the battery. Single core processors are being phased out so they are a bit cheaper. 7. Some people don’t care about what brand they get, and consider that a computer is a computer. While that may be truer with desktops, laptops are a little more crucial about what brand you get. If your happy and satisfied with computer by a certain company, by all means stay with that company, and remove all doubt in your mind that if your computer messes up it wasn’t because you got a different brand. FYI: all brands of all computers have problems, some brands just have more. This part is a little more difficult to write without being biased, but I will attempt. Take my opinion for what you will, but I have worked with computers for many years and even sold computers at a certain technology store. That being said, picking a brand of laptop is like picking a brand of automobile. No matter what brand of car you get, you can always get a fast engine under the hood. Some brands of cars are just better built and perform longer because of the quality. But remember the better quality comes at a price.802.11 G WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP)

8. Size. Wow, there are a lot of different sizes out there! How do you choose? First, if you want to be really mobile then you would probably prefer a smaller screen. This will affect the overall size and weight of the laptop. The screen size will also affect the battery life you will get out of one charge. Usually a 14.1” screen or smaller is consider small. Or, if you are looking for a desktop replacement that you can occasionally take around the house or even less out of the house, then you might consider a bigger screen. These screens put out 17” of video love and most come with those lovely number-pads to the right of the keyboard. A 17” screen compared to a 14.1” screen is obviously heavier and use up more battery life, but you will be plugged in to an outlet almost all the time and what is a pound or two extra. A happy medium is a 15” or a 15.4” if you want a widescreen. Thickness will also affect the weight of your laptop. Getting an ultra thin laptop is cool. Just remember that with all that breathing room gone your cool laptop can get hot fast. WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP)

USB 2.0 to DVI Adapter(USB 2.0 to DVI/VGA/HDMI Adapter)

9. What are your needs out of a laptop computer? Everybody likes to surf the net, check e-mail, do word processing, and at least the occasional song and picture, and pretty much all new computers can do all that. Some just do it faster than others. One extra thing you will want to consider is video games. Today’s games can take a serious toll on computers resources in order to perform well. You will need a little extra depending on the game you want. The easiest thing to do is look at the box the game came in, and read the “recommended” requirements. Then base your computer from that. A little faster wouldn’t hurt either.WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter Detachable Antenna(802.11G 54M)
802.11 N WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP )
Video is another heavy option. If you like to store a lot of movies and TV shows you downloaded then you will need a bigger hard drive and a better video card. Everybody has said that they will just put it on disk after they watch it or download it to save space, but you know as well as I do that you don’t want a billion disks to sift through and don’t want to wait on load times. I’ll explore more on storage later.
 
10. Your budget is probably the biggest consideration, and can be the deciding factor on what extra options, if any, you will get. After you decide on a budget then look at what laptops can fit your needs and price around. A little phrase to consider is that spending a little extra now will save you a LOT of headaches later. With today’s technology prices putting down a $2000 budget will make you extremely happy and you will probably have money left over. You will also find that the price of a laptop is very close to being the same as a desktop with the same specs when you include a lcd monitor.USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter(USB 2.0 to DVI/VGA/HDMI Adapter)

Buying Guide to Laptop Computer Case

Posted by sunvalleyus on Friday, October 09, 2009 4:57:29 AM
When purchasing any product, even a laptop case, it is important to know what you are buying. That is why it is advised that you do not purchase the first laptop case that you come across. As previously mentioned, your laptop case will be used to protect your computer; therefore, you will want to make sure that is one that can do the job. The first step in searching for a laptop case is to examine your needs. For example, how big is your laptop computer? The measurements of your computer will have an important impact on which laptop cases are available to you. In your search, you will find laptop cases that are designed for smaller laptops. You need to make sure that your laptop will fit into the case that you buy. 10.2" Sleeve Case (Cooling Mat) for Laptop(Sleeve case + cooling mat for laptop )
15.4" Sleeve Case (Cooling Mat) for Laptop(Sleeve case + cooling mat)
Perhaps, the most important thing to keep in mind, when searching for a new laptop case, is quality. The quality of a laptop case is extremely important. That is why it is advised that you shop for a laptop case based on price and quality, not just on price. A number of online retailers allow their customers to rate or leave comments about a product that they purchased. This information may prevent you from spending money on a laptop case that might end up breaking in a few weeks or months. Even if you are planning on buying a laptop case from one of your local retail stores, you may still want to think about examining laptop case reviews online; it will only take a few minutes.802.11 G WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP)

802.11 N WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP )
In addition to examining what type of laptop case you need, you should also examine the type of laptop case that you want. For instance, do you have your heart set on a particular color? If so, you will want to tailor your searches, particularly online searches, to that color. Doing so may make finding the perfect laptop case easier and less time consuming. If you would like anything else, such as a bag or a case that can hold more than a laptop, you will need to keep this information in mind when making your purchase. By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, you should be able to purchase the perfect laptop case for your new computer. A laptop is a fairly large sized investment. That is why you are urged to protect your investment with the purchase of a laptop case. WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP)

How I repaired my notebook LCD screen with water damage

Posted by sunvalleyus on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 11:37:21 PM
Here’s my Acer Aspire 5610 notebook with water damaged screen I’m going to take apart. First of all remove the battery from the notebook.
 
Warning: the LCD screen can be easily damaged if you open it up. If you do something wrong the screen might become completely unusable and you’ll have to buy a new screen. It’s very expensive. Think twice before you decide opening the screen. Continue at your own risk. On this model the inverter board is attached to the screen with two screws. Remove both screws, disconnect the screen cable and remove the inverter board.
 
Carefully peel off sticky tape and foil and put it aside. You’ll have to put it back in place during the screen reassembly. Remove two screws from both sides of the screen. Lift up rubber screw seals and remove all screws. Carefully separate the screen bezel from the LCD cover and remove the bezel. Remove two screws from the front and two screws from both sides. Carefully remove the LCD screen from the cover and place it on the notebook base. Disconnect the video cable and the inverter board cable. Carefully place the screen upside down on a flat surface. Carefully unglue the film that covers the circuit board and remove two screws from the board (top circles). I wasn’t really sure if I have to remove screws on the bottom, so I removed them just in case. Do not touch the circuit board with fingers.
 
After both screws are removed you should be able to lift up the circuit board. Be careful, it’s still attached to the LCD. Start unsnapping the metal frame from the screen. There are a lot of latches on all sides of the screen. You can unlock them with nails or a small flathead screwdriver. After all latches are opened you should be able to separate the screen into three pieces: metal frame, LCD and background (not sure about correct technical name). If you have lint or dust inside the screen, probably you’ll find it between the LCD and the background. Do not touch LCD or background with your fingers. I was able to remove dust and lint up with a very soft cloth, barely touching the LCD and background surfaces.

 
 
After I split the screen I found that the background has a few some kind of optical layers (three transparent sheets) and in my case they were damaged by water. The water dried out and left stains between these optical layers. In my case removing dust and lint wasn’t enough and I had to go further. Very carefully separate the LCD with attached circuit board from the background. To remove damaged optical layers it’s necessary to remove metal locks on both sides of the screen. It’s like a small clip that keeps layers in place. After I removed both clips, I was able to look between the layers. At first I tried to clean up the dried water marks with a soft cloth but it didn’t help. The stains were still visible and didn’t want to go away.

Fortunately I had another similar screen laying around, it had a cracked LCD. I decided to borrow the optical layers from the cracked screen and transfer them to my screen. I wasn’t sure if it’s going to work, but as I mentioned before I didn’t really care if I break the screen. It was just an experiment.

 
 

So I disassembled the cracked screen and carefully transfered the white background and all transparent layers to my screen. After that I assembled my screen back removing dust and lint with a very soft cloth. Breathlessly connected my new screen to the notebook. Turned it on and… That’s a miracle, it works!

What to do when Laptop does not start

Posted by sunvalleyus on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 2:05:31 AM
If your laptop does not start at all or it starts but will not boot properly? Here are some troubleshooting tips for you. I’m not sure if I can cover all situation at once, so I will update this post as more examples I meet.802.11 G WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP)

Situation 1. The laptop appears to be dead. You plug the AC adapter but the LEDs (power light, hard drive light, battery charge light, etc…) do not light up and the laptop will not react at all if you press on the power button. First of all in this situation check the AC adapter. You can test the output voltage with a voltmeter. If you cannot do that, find a known good AC adapter and use it for testing the laptop. It is possible the laptop appears to be dead because the AC adapter is bad (and the battery is discharged). If you know that the AC adapter is working properly and it outputs correct voltage but the laptop is still dead, most likely you have a power issue on the motherboard (or power board on some laptops) and it has to be replaced.WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter Detachable Antenna(802.11G 54M)
If you have to replace the AC adapter, make sure you use a correct one. The output voltage must be exactly the same as on the original adapter. The output amperage has to be the same as on the original adapter or higher, but not lower.
 
Situation 2. When you plug the AC adapter the power LED and the battery charge LED light up. When you press on the power button the laptop powers up but will not start. There is no video on LCD or external monitor. If the power LED lights up it indicates that the laptop is getting power from the AC adapter. Most likely there is nothing wrong with the adapter but just in case test it with a voltmeter to make sure the output voltage is correct. Also try this. Unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery and wait for 1-2 minutes. After that plug the AC adapter ans try starting the laptop again. Sometimes this trick helps.802.11 N WIRELESS USB LAN Adapter(Support 64/128-bit WEP )

Situation 3. When you press on the power button, the laptop makes a series or short and long beeps and will not start up. There is no video on the screen. In this situation test the memory module as I described in the situation2. Try installing a known good memory module. Most likely you are getting a beep error because of a faulty memory. It also could be a memory related problem. Try reseating the memory module, just remove it from the slot on the motherboard and install it back. Try installing the memory module into the other slot. If you have two memory modules installed, try removing them one by one and start the laptop just with one memory module installed.USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter(USB 2.0 to DVI/VGA/HDMI Adapter)
USB 2.0 to HDMI Adapter(USB 2.0 DVI/VGA/HDMI Adapter )
If the laptop starts fine with one memory module in both slots, but will not start with the second memory module in both slots, the second memory module is faulty. Replace the module. If the laptop starts fine with both memory modules when they are installed in the slot A, but will not start with both memory modules installed in the slot B, the slot B is faulty and you’ll have to replace the motherboard or use only one memory slot.
 
Situation 4. You start the laptop and it starts making repetitive clicking noise or grinding noise.USB to DVI Adapter Audio OutPut(USB 2.0 to DVI/VGA/HDMI Adapter )
LED FM Transmitter(Blue LED Remote Control)

Most likely you hear this noise because of a faulty hard drive. You can remove the hard drive and start the laptop without it. If the noise is gone, the hard drive is your problem. Replace it. If the laptop makes clicking or grinding noises and you still have video on the screen, you can run a hard drive test utility. I usually use Hitachi’s drive fitness test. This test is reliable and easy to use.
 
Situation 5. The laptop boots into Windows ans works for a while, but after that it shuts down by itself without any reason or warning. You restart the laptop but the same problem appears again Most likely it’s a heat related issue. Listen for the cooling fan, make sure it works. Also this problem might appear because of a faulty memory module, try some tips from the situation 2. The laptop still boots ans you still can see the screen, so you can run the memory test. I usually use Memtest86+. Run the memory test and if it fails, replace the faulty module.
 
Situation 6 The laptop starts normally but video on the screen has lines, some strange characters or other defects. It could indicate a problem with the laptop LCD screen, video cable, graphics card or motherboard. Here’s my previous post witch covers troubleshooting bad images on the screen in more details.
 
Situation 7. You start the laptop. It sounds like the laptop is booting normally (hard drive LED is flashing) but there is no video on the screen In this situation test the laptop with an external monitor. If the external screen works fine but there is no video on the laptop LCD, most likely there is a problem inside the laptop display assembly. Go to my previous post witch covers laptop video problems in more details.Aluminum FM Transmitter(Aluminum Cover FM Transmitter )

solve the problem of Laptop Backlight

Posted by sunvalleyus on Sunday, September 27, 2009 11:43:04 PM
That’s one of the most common laptop problems which of backlight on the laptop. Mostly the screen inverter is the culprit. Here are some LCD screen backlight failure symptoms that could be related to a bad inverter board: LP133WX1-TLC1 13.3-inch(Size: 13.3 inchs Resolution: 1280x800 pixels )
HP mini 2133 8.9-inch LCD panel(Size: 8.9 inchs Resolution: 1024*600 pixels )
Laptop boots as usual but after some time the screen blacks out. You still can see an image on the screen but it’s very dim. You might even use a flashlight to see it better. Sometimes the backlight comes back for a while but then goes off again. In some cases you can turn the backlight on if you tap rapidly on the lid close switch.

Here’s an example of replacing the FL inverter board on an IBM ThinkPad T41 notebook. This guide will work fine for any other IBM notebook. Replacing screen inverter on other notebooks like Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc… will not be much different. First of all, unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery.The screen always stay black and the backlight never comes on but you still can make out an image on the LCD. It’s dark, but the image is still there.If you hear a buzzing noise coming from the area where the inverter board is located, it’s on the bottom part of the display assembly.If you cannot see an image on the screen, most likely you have a different problem and there is nothing wrong with the screen inverter. b133ew01(B133EW01 - Original 13.3 inch)
ltn154at07 LCD(LTN154AT07 LCD Panel )
IBM P/N 42T0535(IBM LTN154X3-L06 LCD Panel)
In order to access the inverter board you’ll have to remove the LCD screen bezel. On most laptops screws are hidden behind screw seals. In this case we have 5 screw seals on the front. Carefully remove the seals with a sharp object and glue them on the LCD bezel, in this case you will not lose them. Remove all screws and mark them somehow so you are not confused when you assemble the notebook back. Some laptops also have screws on the side of the display. This notebook has 3 screws on each side. Remove screws seals and then remove screws. IBM LTN154X3-L06(15.4 inch IBM LTN154X3-L06 LCD Panel )

lp154wx4-tlc8(LP154WX4-TLC8 15.4-inch LCD panel)
If latches are very tight you can use a guitar pick to unlock them. Insert the guitar pick between the LCD bezel and cover and carefully move it alone the side. Start removing the LCD bezel with all fingers. Carefully wiggle the bezel to release plastic latches. Never use any sharp object during disassemble because you can accidentally damage the screen. lp133wx2-tlc1(LP133WX2-TLC1 Laptop LCD Panel )
lp156wh1(LP156WH1-TLA1 LCD Panel 15.6 inch )
hp pavilion zv6000 LCD(HP Pavilion ZV6000 LCD Panel)
This notebook allows you to replace the inverter board without removing the LCD bezel completely. Lift up the bottom part of the bezel and remove one screw securing the inverter board to the LCD cover. This location is very common for the screen inverter. On most laptops you’ll find it under the display bezel below the screen.Unplug cables on both sides. The left side of the inverter board connects to the video cable, the right side to the backlight bulb (CCFL tube) inside the LCD screen. Remove the inverter and replace it with a new one. lp141wx1 original(LP141WX1-TLA2 LCD Panel)

Install internal wireless card into an older laptop

Posted by sunvalleyus on Friday, September 25, 2009 11:34:32 PM
First of all your laptop must have a slot for the wireless card and equipped with wireless antennas, but missing the wireless card. Why did I choose an older laptop? Because many people maybe not willing to upgrade their laptops and now new laptops are sold with the wireless card. I’ll take as an example my Dell Latitude C840 laptop. It has a slot for the wireless card and one antenna cable. That’s strange, most laptops have two antenna cables, white and black. One cable goes to the main connector on the wireless card, another cable goes to the auxiliary connector. My main concern was finding the right device driver for the wireless card I plan to install into my laptop. As you know, without correct driver it will not be recognized by the operating system and will not work at all. Likely, I have a spare wireless card from another not working Toshiba laptop and this card worked perfectly. You can find this wireless card by the model number: WM3B2200BG.It’s a 802.11 b/g wireless card, so you’ll get a 54Mbp/s connection as I did. USB 802.11N 150M WIRELESS LAN Adapter with Detachable Antenna(RT3070 Chipset)(Support 64/128-bit WEP, complies with 128 bit WPA standard(TKIP/AES), supports MIC, IV Expansion, Shared Key Authentication, IEEE 802.1X )

In order to install the wireless card into the slot, just push it into the slot at a 30 degree angle and then press on the card until it’s locked. Probably you’ll ask me which antenna cable connects to which connector? I think it doesn’t really matter because both antenna cable are identical. After the card is locked in the slot you can connect the antenna cable. In my case, I snapped the antenna cable on the main connector. If you have two antenna cables, snap one of them on the main connector on the wireless card and another one on the auxiliary connector. As I mentioned before, I don’t think it matters with cable goes to which connector. Both antenna cables are identical. USB 802.11N 150M WIRELESS LAN Adapter(RT3070 Chipset) slim(Complies with IEEE 802.11n(draft 2.0), IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b standards)

You have a couple of different options: 1. Download and install the driver only. Use this option if you want to use Windows wireless connection utility. That’s what I did because I prefer using Windows tools. 2. Download and install both the wireless card drive and the connection software. Use this option if you want to use Intel’s software application. It’s totally up to you. Finally, you’ll have to download and install the wireless card driver.

Laptop LCD screen turned completely white

Posted by sunvalleyus on Friday, September 25, 2009 4:55:03 AM
Here’s an example of a laptop with white screen. When you turn on the laptop, it starts but the image on the screen is completely white right from the beginning. In my case it was a Toshiba Satellite M45 laptop but this problem may occur with any other brand.

I noticed that in some cases the laptop screen may turn white because of poor connection between the video cable and the LCD screen. If you want to check this connection, you’ll have to take apart the display panel because the connector is located on the back side of the LCD screen.

Acer Aspire One A110 LCD Panel(Size: 8.9 inchs)
LP141WX1-TLA2 LCD Panel 14.1 inch( )
For this purpose I’m using one of my test LCD screens. My test screen is cracked and because of that you see a wide white band in the center but it still works fine for this test.
Acer Aspire AS5735-6957 15.6 inch LCD Screen(Size: 15.6 inchs
Resolution: 1366*768 pixels )
GATEWAY MD7822U 15.6-inch LCD panel(Size: 15.6 inchs Resolution: 1366*768 pixels)
What can you do if the laptop LCD screen turned completely white? From my experience I can tell that this problem may be related to the following:
1. Loose connection between the video cable and the LCD screen.
2. Defective LCD screen.
3. Defective motherboard (I assume the graphics card is integrated into the motherboard).

GATEWAY MD7826U 15.6-inch LCD panel(Size: 15.6 inchs Resolution: 1366*768 pixels)
HP Pavilion G60-117US 15.6-inch LCD panel(Size: 15.6 inchs Resolution: 1366*768 pixels)
HP Compaq Presario CQ60-130EW 15.6-inch LCD panel(Size: 15.6 inchs Resolution: 1366*768 pixels)
Most likely you still can use the laptop with an external monitor. Just connect the monitor to the VGA port on the back or side of your laptop and then switch the video output from internal to external mode.
On Toshiba laptops you can toggle between internal and external screens using Fn+F5 keys. Hold down Fn and press on F5 until you get video on the external monitor.

On IBM laptops use Fn+F7.
On HP laptops use Fn+F4.

It’s possible that you have to use a different key combination on your laptop but you get the idea.
On some laptops, in order to be able to use the external monitor, you have to connect it to the laptop and then restart the laptop so the external monitor is detected by the laptop.

The original screen is white but my test screen works normal (except the crack of course) and I can see the image. After this test I can tell that the problem must be related to the screen.

I always check the video cable connection first. Reconnecting the video cable may fix your problem.
If reconnecting the video cable doesn’t help, most likely you have a problem either with the LCD screen or with the motherboard.

http://www.sunvalleyus.com/LCDPanel/


The best way to find out witch one is causing the problem is testing the laptop with another working LCD screen. Without this test you’ll have to guess because as I mentioned before this could either bad motherboard or bad LCD screen.
You’ll have to disconnect the video cable from the LCD screen (connector 2) and the inverter board (connectors 3 and 1). After that you connect another working screen and test video.

After I assembled everything back together and connected the original LCD, it’s still white.

CONCLUSION. In my case this problem is related to the LCD screen and it has to be replaced.

Some tips of saving money of iphone

Posted by sunvalleyus on Thursday, September 24, 2009 2:37:16 AM

As I often tell people, it's not the price of the iPhone that bothers me--it's the monthly fees!

iPod/iPhone FM Transmitter with Remote Control (white)(Plug FM Transmitter's into iPhone or iPod port and then it's done. Just sit back and enjoy!)

Next time you find yourself standing in a supermarket trying to figure out which size box of corn flakes provides the best bang for the buck, fire up BetterDeal. This 99-cent app lets you compare prices for up to four packages to see which is, well, the better deal.

Alas, while there's no way to get around that $70/month minimum, at least I can use my iPhone to save money on other things: gas, groceries, books, DVDs, and even energy. Let's take a look at five killer apps that can help you pocket extra cash.


Saving a nickel or dime per gallon of gas may not seem like much, but it adds up over time. Gas Buddy ($2.99) shows you which nearby stations have the lowest prices (and provides maps if you don't know the area), so you can pocket that extra change every time you fill up.

iPod iPhone FM Transmitter with Remote Control (black)(The easiest way to broadcast your music while charging your iPhone or iPod.)
FM Transmitter with Aluminum Cover(Available for iPhone 3Gs. Memorizes up to 4 frequencies. )
Blue LED Remote Control FM Transmitter(Connects to iPhone 3G, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, and any other iPod models. )

I know a lot of people are partial to AAA Discounts, which serves up deals near your location. Great app, but only if you're a triple-A member.

I'm also a fan of the suggestion over at Wise Bread to use Pandora instead of buying music, though why limit yourself to one music-streaming app? Grab Last.fm and Slacker while you're at it.

OK, you've got my picks. Now tell me what apps you've used to save money--and how much you've saved!

You know the mantra: Save electricity, save money, save the planet. But does turning off lights when you leave a room really make an impact? MeterRead helps you find out by keeping tabs on meter readings and projecting your energy usage. It's strictly an informational tool, but if you're serious about saving energy, this 99-cent app should help.

So you're at Target, about to plunk down your cash on Firefly: The Complete Series on DVD (good call), but then you wonder: Is this the best price? Find out fast with pic2shop, which scans product barcodes and quickly pulls up the prices from "thousands of online retailers" (according to the developer). The live (i.e. real-time) barcode scanning is seriously cool, and the app itself costs nothing. Win-win!

iPhone will serve up proximity-based coupons, like "get $1 off now!" when you drive by a Jamba Juice. For now, Yowza (free) is the closest thing. It finds deals in your area, though only from merchants that have partnered with the service. That may limit its viability for some users (get more partners, Yowza!), but I found about half a dozen coupons within 15 miles--including one for Finish Line, and I'm in the market for new running shoes. Score!

Hands-free Car Kit FM Transmitter for iPhone 3Gs(Supports iPhone hands-free talking through car stereo system)
Hands-free Car Kit FM Transmitter for Blackberry Phone(Support BlackBerry (with 3.5mm audio Jack) hands-free talking through car stereo system. )

Secure your Wireless LAN against War Drivers

Posted by sunvalleyus on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 4:02:00 AM
Now, how to protect your Wireless Network from Wardrivers? Here are some "best practice" policies to consider. Some are simple, some are advanced. Anyway, don't wait until complete strangers are abusing your network. Be wise, act now. USB 802.11N 150/300M WIRELESS LAN Adapter With Detachable Antenna(Support 64/128-bit WEP, complies with 128 bit WPA standard(TKIP/AES), supports MIC, IV Expansion, Shared Key Authentication, IEEE 802.1X )

Things you can do to secure your wireless network. 1.Change the default Admin password on your Access Point (this includes the webinterface). 2.Create a dedicated segment for your Wireless Network, and take additional steps to restrict access to this segment. 3.Use a high level of encryption (WPA2/802.11i strongly preferred) -- Use decent keys. 4.Authenticate wireless users with protocols like 802.1X, RADIUS, EAP (including EAP-PAX, EAP-PSK, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-POTP, EAP-IKEv2, EAP-GPSK, PEAP, and EAP-SIM). These protocols support authentication credentials that include digital certificates, usernames and passwords, secure tokens, and SIM secrets. 5.Use strong encryption for all (userland) applications you use over the wireless network, e.g., use SSH and TLS/HTTPS. http://www.papatek.com/USB-Wireless-LAN-Adapter/ 6.Check if the firmware for your Wireless Access Point and drivers for your Wireless Adapter(s) are up to date. Update if necessary. Keep checking for new releases in the future. 7.Use WLAN Security Tools for securing the wireless network. This software is specifically designed for securing 802.11 wireless networks.

11.Regularly TEST the security of your wireless network, using the latest Wardriving Tools (the same tools the attacker will use). Don't use these tools on other networks, and always check local laws and regulations before using any wardriving tools. 12.(only provides very little security) - Enable MAC address filtering on your Access Point. Note that MAC addresses can be changed easily by the attacker.

Adding multiple monitors to your computer

Posted by sunvalleyus on Monday, September 21, 2009 11:51:46 PM

The USB to DVI supports up to six simultaneous displays when using six adapters, including widescreen displays, extending your desktop and your horizons.

Adding a quality DVI or VGA high resolution display through your USB port used to be science fiction. It is now science fact with the USB to DVI-I adapter. With onboard memory and video processor, it is really an external video card you attach to your computer with a USB cable.

We tested it on an unimpressive Dell Latitude D520 Centrino Duo with 512 RAM and it easily handled five USB to DVI adapters driving 19- to 21-inch flat screens (including widescreens). We also used the auxiliary display port on the laptop's docking station for a total of six simultaneous beautful displays, including the laptop's built-in display.

The USB to DVI External Video Card can handle six displays at a time if you have enough USB ports and possibly more depending on your system.As excited as we were for the release of this model, we tested it right when they came in. Using two simultaneously, the unit performed with flying colors. The external video card itself is small and lightweight; about the size and weight of a deck of cards. It is grey, sleek,and unnoticeable when sitting behind your desk.

The USB to DVI/VGA card is completely Windows Vista compatible with the included driver CD for both mirroring and extending your desktop. It performs both mirroring and extended desktop with Windows 2000 SP4, XP 32-bit SP2, and Vista perfectly.
 

USB to DVI/VGA/HDMI, 1920x1080,2048x1152,1600x1200, also available.
1. Video Resolution:  (Chipset: DL 195)  
   QWXGA(2048x1152),WUXGA(1920x1200) @60Hz 32-bit
2. Video Output: DVI/VGA/HDMI
3. Link up to: 6 simultaneous displays
4. USB 2.0 Powered - Ultra Low Power
5. OS Supporting:
    WinX Serials: Win2K, Win XP (32-bit), Vista (32-bit & 64-bit,    
    Aero 3D interface supported   
    Mac Serials: Apple OS X - Tiger 10.4.11, Leopard 10.5.6
    Linux Serials: Core Drivers available                 
6. Onboard power and status indicator LEDs

It used to be that you could add a display via a USB port, but the refresh rate and video quality was lacking. With this USB to DVI display adapter, complete with VGA adapter, you can add either a DVI or VGA display that behaves just like a monitor connected to a standard video card. It operates at a high resolution of .

The secret is video compression algorithm inside this little external video card. It carries the top-of-the-line DisplayLink chip that guarantees smooth performance on your secondary displays. Memory this large allows the adapter to perform like a standard video card. The USB pipeline is more than enough bandwidth to provide top-notch video connectivity.

5 Tips to Increase Your Productivity

Posted by sunvalleyus on Monday, September 21, 2009 4:23:08 AM
 

1.       Find out your prime time in the day. Television industry and advertisers have found out their prime time to attract the largest amount of viewers and release advertisements for optimum revenues. You can also find yours. Then take advantage of your prime time after you recognize it, because in this period of time you can enjoy easy concentration and high energy. Therefore you can optimize your work schedule according to the peak time, for example, handling different tasks in order of importance.

2.       Take a break to refresh your mind and become more productive and creative for the rest of the day. According to a survey of 1,300 adults by Indian food firm Tiffinbites, workers said that they would be less productive in the afternoons if they didn’t stop for a break in the lunchtime. In modern society, we lead a tense life and take a lot of stress. Hence a break in lunchtime or even a long break for vacation will do some good. For overloaded people, not only does it benefit productivity, but also the health.

3.       A little soft background music. Some people prefer to attach iPod to their ears while working. The Mozart effect believers insist on the positive relationship between music and work performance. In fact, there are many researches that have proven the benefits of listening to music for enhanced productivity. However, not every kind of music is applicable. Baroque music, such as the works of Vivaldi, Bach and Handel, is highly recommended as they can improve your concentration.

4.       Add a second monitor to your computer. While studying work efficiency patterns, Microsoft researchers found that switching over to a multi-monitor configuration can boost productivity up about 9% to 50%. They said it’s one of the best ways to improve your productivity. But most computers are not equipped with a video card that can cope with multiple monitors at a time. So it’s time to resort to a USB to DVI adapter. In this way, you can easily add extra monitors to your desktop or laptop via USB ports.

5.       Enough sleep. Coffee, anxiety, stress, all of these can explain why most of us suffer from insomnia. If you are in the group of insomniacs, then you have to find ways to resolve this problem, for sweet dreams assure you increased productivity. Many of us would find that in the morning we must drag ourselves to consciousness and need a not-short warming-up period before throwing into the activities in the daytime. A saying goes like this: early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Here is a question: do we need a minimum number of hours for sleep? No certain answers. It depends, ranging from 6 to 8 hours.
