The power supply is the component that powers your devices in your computer. It powers things like the hard drive, CDROM and CPU. There may come a time when you have to replace it.

Symptoms of a power supply going bad can include random reboots, random crashes the computer not starting at all.

When replacing your power supply there are a couple of thing to take into consideration. The most important thing to do is to get the right one for your computer. Your computer will most likely use the ATX form factor. You also need to make sure you get a power supply with enough power for your computer’s hardware. 300-400 watts is sufficient for most computers. Make sure the power supply has enough power connections and the right types of connections.

Replacing the power supply is a pretty easy job. Make sure you unplug the power cord first! Then you can open the case and take the power connections off of the devices and motherboard. Then you can take out the four screws on the outside back of the case and pull the power supply out from the inside. To install the new one just do the opposite.

Did you know?

Ink cartridges are tiny gadgets with mundane features, which are indispensable to the inkjet printers which suck them dry.

They’re also very expensive, which I am sure you can vouch for that based on personal experience.

Two ink cartridges can be more money (as high as $80) than the initial investment which was your pretty little printer.

Buyers do not always do the research they are supposed to do before actually committing to the sale.

They purchase an inkjet printer and find out about 3 months down the road that the cartridges cost more than the actual inkjet printer.

Consumers don’t always have time to be sure whether cartridge producers are giving them their money’s worth.

Resellers are pratically giving the printers away knowing the future cost of your ink carts.

No wonder why printer divorce is so high, the printer and ink costs can’t keep a cheap relationship. The only one’s cheaping are the birds.

We took a look at a few cartridge secrets, such as page yields and the effectiveness of multiple-cartridge schemes, to see if manufacturers are delivering on their ink promises. You need to be aware of this information.

Ink Cartridge Primer:

Inkjet printer technology became affordable for average consumers roughly about 11 years ago. Color printers used only one cartridge, containing colors CMY (cyan, magenta, and yellow) ink, all stored in separate chambers inside the cartridge.

This was sometimes called a tri-color cartridge, as you may know referred to by Hewlett Packard.

To print text, the printer simply squirted all three ink colors simultaneously, which created a composite (and sometimes greenish or brown) black.

Then each dot would be placed on top of each other in order to reduce the picoliters. The smaller the drop size the more clear vibrant colors and detail images you would get.

Modern printers improve upon the one-cartridge design by supplementing the CMY cartridge with an individual black (or K) cartridge.

Not only does this improve the quality of black, but it also helps conserve the more expensive color inks for photos.

The addition of black cartridges also spawned the C (cyan) M (magenta) Y (yellow) K (black) acronym that you see on many inkjet specification sheets and equipped printers with enough color power to create approximately 16.7 million tones.

More recently, a few photo printers began shipping with light cyan and light magenta for improved color transitions; Canon’s S820, for example uses six individual cartridges to deliver all 6 color schemes.

Manufacturers, such as Canon and Epson, are also implementing four-cartridge schemes, in which each tank carries only cyan, yellow, magenta, or black.

The primary reason this system is catching on is that it wastes less ink. With a three-color cartridge, you’re forced to dispose of the cartridge when one color runs out, even if one or two chambers still contain ink. This can increase your cartridge cost.

The four-cartridge setup lets you toss only empty cartridges, so you’ll save ink, but depending on your printing habits, you won’t necessarily save as much money as you like.

If you print one color more often than another color, your ink costs may drop significantly. Average users won’t see a huge cost reduction by switching to a printer that uses four individual cartridges.

Some of them won’t print unless all four cartridges are sitting and locked into position within the carriage itself.

Ink Sensors & Page Yield:

Of course, to get the most from your cartridges you have to determine how much ink you’ve used. By this, just calculate the amount of pages you print within each month.

There are two primary methods printer makers use to accurately display ink levels on your screen. Most companies, such as Epson, use a dot-count method.

The dot-count system works using your printer’s driver, which analyzes each image before printing and keeps a running total of the number of droplets sprayed.

Canon claims to have a superior system that uses both dot counting and an optical sensor.

They contain reservoir inside the sponge in the ink tank, [and] the reservoir has an optical ink sensor in it, very impressive.

A light inside the printer shines in the reservoir and the sensor helps determine ink levels.

If the reservoir is empty, the printer estimates that there’s about 20% ink remaining in the sponge below the reservoir, and your PC begins using the dot-count method.

Because cartridge cases are typically opaque, some sort of ink monitoring system is a necessity. But how can you determine if the cartridge will yield as many pages as the manufacturer claims?

Most manufacturers assign yield ratings to black cartridges after draining the tank by continuously printing a 1,500-character document at the default resolution setting.

I decided to test a few cartridges with our own test, which we felt more accurately mimicked real-world use. To maximize your ink yields you need to drop each printer to its lowest resolution.

I also wanted a document that covered the entire page, so my “extreme inkjet test” document contained nearly 3,500 characters.

I loaded our Lexmark Z65 with a new $30.00 black cartridge, company-rated at 600 pages. Our test document printed nearly 694 times before text began to fade, resulting in a cost of about 4 cents per page.

I also subjected the black cartridge in Canon’s S820D to our test. The $13.00 black cartridge has a manufacturer rating of 620 pages. Our test yielded 565 pages of text, approximately 2 cents per page.

You will get your money’s worth from original manufacturer cartridges. Still, it can be painful to spend $30.00 on a new cartridge when you see ads for cartridge refill kits promising to save you loads of cash.

Refill Kit Caper:

We tested a number of refill kits to see if they’ll save money and to compare their output with the results of manufacturers’ inks. For our tests, we gauged ease of use in preparing and refilling two black cartridges and then subjected those tanks to the Extreme Inkjet Test. Further tests took place on the yield potential and color quality of one color refill system.

Each kit works in basically the same way. You apply rubber gloves and pry, slice, or screw your way into the empty cartridge. Make sure you have a good top cutter. You don’t want to crack the plastic.

Then you carefully open a bottle of ink and use a syringe to withdraw a few milliliters of ink. After injecting the ink into the cartridge, you seal it up using the provided tape or rubber stopper. Sounds easy, right? Easier said than done.

Actually, I found it nearly impossible to avoid spilling ink. Be careful not to get ink on your clothes, it can soak your skin, and when covered properly, ink slopped on the table.

After all this, the cartridge produced about 25 full-page photos, which was OK, considering the huge bottles of ink should last for about nine more refills (about 25 cents per photo).

Photos looked remarkably good on both plain and photo paper, but they were grainy compared to photos printed with Epson ink. Worse yet, shortly after printing a few photos we attempted to print black text, and after a few pages, the tank stopped working and ink spewed all over the printer.

The chip resetting software may have caused the malfunction.

In spite of the uncertain cost savings and poor photo quality, refill kits are hot items, flourishing in spite of printer manufacturers’ efforts to convince customers that third-party inks are superinferior.

In spite of advances made by third-party ink makers, printer manufacturers refuse to back down from their claims that such inks simply don’t work correctly with advanced print head technology.

Refill Rebuttal:

Canon, Hewlett-Packard, and Lexmark all use thermal print head technology. Epson uses patented Piezo-electric print heads. The technologies employ slightly different ink cartridges and dissimilar ink formulations to work with the print heads.

In thermal inkjets, a tiny resistor in the print head warms the ink, causing a bubble that forces a droplet out of the print head nozzle.

Epson’s Piezo-electric technology doesn’t heat ink. Instead, a tiny crystal in the print head works like a pump; when a negative charge is applied to the crystal it bends out from the ink chamber and draws in a droplet, while a subsequent positive charge flexes the crystal in, pushing the droplet through the nozzle.

Both technologies have exacting specifications for the inks they shoot.

Inks used in thermal printers are typically dye-based and must be formulated to retain good print qualities under heat stress.

Epson’s ink developers, however, are free to dismiss heat factors and instead create smaller and more consistently shaped droplets. Pairing inks properly with tiny print heads and nozzles is no simple feat.

Ink chemistry is “very complex stuff” in part because the various characteristics of inks affect the way droplets interact with each other on paper. Because every manufacturer’s papers and inks are so different and multifaceted, there’s just no way can a third-party lab reproduce the original ink quality.

Although refill kits may produce prints that initially look nice, it’s doubtful they have the same fade-resistant or water-resistant properties of original printer inks.

Manufacturers also stress that while using a refilled cartridge doesn’t affect your printer’s warranty, if your printer malfunctions due to a refilled or modified cartridge, the warranty is voided.

Whether you trust printer makers or their refill-kit competition, our opinion of refill kits is that they’re a bit of a hassle to use.

If you print a lot of text, they may save you money. However, we wouldn’t pair third-party inks with expensive photo paper, especially if you want your prints to last for years.

Print Job Complete:

Ink cartridges are complex, sometimes controversial, and always necessary for the users who depend on inkjets for their stellar text and graphics production.

Understanding cartridges and their refill potential will help keep you printing for years to come, and your knowledge may help you save a few bucks, too.

Hopefully this information has been supportive to you printing means and instances that you may have encountered before. You now have the confidence to deal with any printing matters.

“Be in charge of your printer ink; don’t let your ink cartridges be in charge of you.”

These exposed secrets will prevent you from falling into the ink river and printer pit drowning on the retail shore which happen to be overpriced in the first place.

The internet is full of technical articles, many of which are way too complicated for the average computer user who just wants to solve a simple problem. If you pay close attention, the internet is also a place where the “gurus” spend a lot of time yelling for help in discussion boards and forums. So don’t feel bad, nobody has all the answers.

So you want to dual boot Windows and Linux on the same computerit is really quite easy. I only have enough room here to tell you the most common way to do this on a single hard drive or using multiple hard drives. Obviously then, there are many ways to get the job done, but there are some critical things you should know. Let’s start with some critical information.

Windows and Linux: Same Hard Drive
The windows operating system MUST occupy the master boot record (MBR). Linux, on the other hand does not have to. In this scenario, you must install windows first! After Windows has been successfully installed, then you can install Linux. This is critical! The Linux “boot loader” is called GRUB. When you install LinuxMAKE SURE YOU DO NOT INSTALL THE LINUX BOOT LOADER TO THE MBR.

Configure the Windows Boot Loader: A Two Step Process
It is also possible to use GRUB to dual boot Windows and Linux on the same drive but this is a bit more complexthe Windows boot loader will get the job done. In the following commands, you will create a copy of the Linux boot sector and then save it in a file in the top level directory under Windows (C:).

Step 1: Linux
From the shell in your Linux installation (boot from your installation disks):
Execute the following shell command, replacing /dev/hda3 with the location of your Linux boot partition.

shell# dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1

Copy the new filebootsect.lnxto a floppy disk and reboot to Windows.

Step 2: Windows
Copy bootsect.lnx to C: in Windows. Then execute the following command at the DOS prompt.

C:> attrib -H -R -S boot.ini

Edit boot.ini so that the first two lines are:

[boot loader]
timeout=30

After the last line, add:

c:bootsect.lnx=”Start Linux”

That’s it, you are done! Reboot your machine and you will see a menu allowing you to select either Windows or Linux. Congratulations.

Windows and Linux: Two Hard Drives
This is also quite easy. In this case, you will boot to the Linux drive. We will add Windows to the Linux boot loader (i.e., GRUB). GRUB is my favorite boot loader.

Edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. One of the very first lines should contain:

timeout=30

After the last line add:

title Start Windows
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Reboot your machine to the Linux drive and you will see a menu allowing you to select between Linux or Windows. Nice work!

This article is obviously short and does not include any explanations of how these commands work. There are variations on what I have shown here depending on your hardware setup, but I believe that these are the most common and should get the job done nicely. I would be happy to direct you to additional resources if this does not work for you.

The heart of any computer is the motherboard. It is that big board inside the computer that everything is connected to. It performs the role of traffic lights and policemen, directing flows of information to where they are needed, when they are needed.

Choosing the right motherboard does not have to be a huge issue, even though there is a lot to consider. I will start off with the most major parts and move onto the the things that are less important or non-essential.

Firstly is the socket type.

The socket is the place where the processor (CPU) connects to the motherboard. There is no compatiblility between sockets, so it has to be the right one. The socket connection needs to match the connection of the processor you have or the one you intend to buy for the computer.

Most older Intel Pentium 4s utilise socket 478. Newer ones use socket 775. AMD chips utilised socket A for a long time, but now the AMD Athlon 64 series and Semprons use socket 939. Just check with someone as to what yours or your intended one will have.

Your choice of chip will have a lot to do with your needs, but choosing one with an up to date socket type will ensure slightly longer motherboard life as you can upgrade the chip for a while.

Second is the memory type

DDR is the RAM of choice for most systems, but some newer systems, which includes all Pentiums with socket 775 use DDR2. These two kinds are not interchangable and have a different number of pins. Both DDR and DDR2 come in different speed ratings measured in MHz. DDR has a usual 400MHz denoted as DDR400 or PC3200, while DDR2 can go a little higher and comes in slightly faster speeds. Just make it match what the board needs.

Third is expansion slots

The expansion slots are the places where you put extra cards onto the motherboard, like graphics cards, extra sound card or a wireless internet card. The old standard is a PCI slot and these are appropriate for most expansion cards, excepts new graphics cards.

The most simple of graphics cards are sometimes available for PCI slots, but not too many. More common are AGP cards and the newer PCI express (PCIe) cards. AGP slots come in speed variants up to 8x, make sure the slot matches your card. PCI and PCIe are incompatible, so don’t be confused by that. The PCIe slots are much longer and have a securing latch. If you want an SLI graphics card setup with two PCIe cards with SLI attached together, make sure the motherboard specifically states that it supports SLI.

Fourth is hard drive and optical drive connections

Two kinds are available, IDE and SATA, IDE is older with a thick cable and SATA is newer with a thinner cable. SATA capability is usually an add-on, you can see a dedicated chip on the motherboard. IDE is being phased out, but is still used for many drives and all optical devices like DVD and CD drives. IDE has speeds of ATA66, ATA100 and ATA133, SATA has speeds of 150Mbps and 300Mbps the latter sometimes referred to as SATA2. Make sure your board supports as much or more than you intend to install.

Fifth is the extras

The number of extras available on motherboard has increased greatly and so has the quality of the extras. Things to be expected are USB 2.0, a sound card and network slot. Other things which it may or may not have are firewire and extra USB slots.

So with all that in mind you should be in good stead to make a good decision on your purchase. Happy shopping.

Roundup
Socket type - A, 478, 775, 939
Memory (RAM) - DDR, DDR2
Expansion slots - PCI and one of AGP or PCIe
ATA - ATA66, 100 or 133. SATA or SATA2
Extras - USB, network and sound card (expected), firewire, extra USB, extra SATA slots (optional but becoming more common)

So how do you make sense of all the CPUs out there? Well, let’s start by splitting them into four broad categories:

• Obsolete Processors


• Budget Processors


• Mid-Range Processors


• High-End Processors

Obsolete Processors

These would refer to those processors which were around 5 or more years ago. They will typically come with older refurnished or budget computer systems. Be very careful if you are purchasing such CPUs as your system’s speed will definitely slow to a crawl. Worse still, some software on the market today simply cannot be run using older processors.

The Windows XP operating system, for example, needs the newer crops of CPUs to function. Overall, I’d only recommend buying these processors if you want to do extremely simple tasks with your PC - like word processing or general web browsing. Some examples of processors in this category would be: the older AMD Athlon CPUs and Intel Celeron CPUs, AMD Duron CPUs, and Intel Pentium III CPUs.

Budget Processors

Strapped for cash? Consider purchasing CPUs in this category - which include yesterday’s top-of-the-line CPUs which have been discontinued or the newer budget CPUs. While you may not get extremely good performance, these CPUs will give you the best bang for your buck.

While you’re not going to get super-duper performance for more CPU intensive activities like gaming and video editing, the speed provided by these CPUs will be more than enough for general applications. Under this category, you’d be looking at processors like the AMD Athlon XP, AMD Sempron, Intel Celeron (2.4 GHz and higher), as well as the Intel Pentium 4 (2.6 GHz and lower).

Mid-Range Processors

The CPUs in this category would have been king of the hill just 6 months ago. Due to the entry of newer, faster CPUs, processors will drop in price and become more affordable. These processors will still scream in performance and are very popular among current PC owners.

Whenever I upgrade my computer, I always go for CPUs in this category. To sum up: thes CPUs here give slightly outdated but extremely powerful performance. Examples include the AMD Athlon XP (2800+ to 3500+) and the Intel Pentium 4 (2.8GHz and higher) CPUs.

High-End Processors

Want drop-dead performance? The CPUs in this category will scream even if you run the most demanding gaming or video editing applications in the market today. Of course, be prepared to fork out serious cash. If you absolutely want no less than the best, be an early adopter and go for one of these CPUs.

Personally, I tend to avoid buying top-of-the-line CPUs for two reasons - the high prices and stability. These CPUs are not only expensive, they are also unproven - I’ve heard cases of extremely new CPUs crashing or overheating. CPUs like the AMD Athlon 64 FX and the Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition fall into this category.

Conclusion

In summary, always consider your computing needs when selecting a CPU. If you want to do simple word processing or general computer tasks, go for the budget or low end processors. If you are more into gaming or do CPU intensive work like video editing, go for a mid-range or high-end processor.

My recent article did not flatter computer manufacturers nor will this one.

I’m a capitalist, and believe in free enterprise but I think the business philosophy of the printer manufacturers has been outrageous and certainly not consumer friendly. The cost of ink is horrendous.

To an extent their practices have back fired on them. They’ve created a bootleg industry that they now have to compete with.
The cost of OEM inkjet cartridges has sky-rocketed and the competitors have followed suit.

For example the price of a set of cartridges for a Lexmark Z51 Printer is $74.97 delivered from a leading online supplier. A set of refilled cartridges from eBay will cost $38.45.
Refills are notoriously unreliable, and some printers just don’t work well with other than OEM ink.

This is a problem for me as I do a lot of printing. Besides the usual run of the mill printing I often print manuals and instructions that I can read somewhere other than on my screen.

One solution is to buy a printer that uses ink tanks instead of cartridges. They are much cheaper. The reason for this is the print head is built into the machine, not into the cartridge, so they not only are less expensive but if you get in to refilling, which I don’t recommend, it’s easier to do.

Here’s the dilemma: There are two leading brands that use this system, and I’ve owned more than one of each, for some reason or other, that type of printer doesn’t stand up well. Not that any of them do.

I’m talking about affordable printers in the under $150.00 range. I don’t know about those five or six hundred dollar jobs.
For one thing the print heads frequently fail. You can’t replace them yourself and it’s too costly to have them repaired.

I just had one of the leading brands that cost $100.00 . It was replaced under warranty three times, the last time a week before my warranty expired. It’s less than three months old and it prints half a page and quits

My solution: I’m an inveterate shopper, visit my web site shopping guide: www.caveatemptorus.com.
I buy bargain printers. The last three cost $!6.00, $21.00 and $29.00 brand new. When the ink runs out I’ll throw them away.

Watch out for the ones with sample cartridges the ink doesn’t last long. I bought one without knowing it. The seller didn’t say,he did give the cartridge numbers, whch I shuld have chcked. So check before you buy.

Another thing I do is print in draft mode, and I have cut down on printing entirely.

As computer manufacturers begin to phase out old standards (e.g. IEEE 1284, RS-232), there is an increasingly large base of computer users who want to use their old Hewlett-Packer parallel printer with newer USB-only laptop and desktop systems. They purchase a USB to Parallel adapter, only to find that the parallel end doesn’t fit on their HP printer. What’s the problem?

In 1992, citing compact size and a simple connection to the printer, Hewlett-Packer decided to go with the IEEE 1284C connector, also known as mini- or micro-centronics. However, this connection has proved to be largely unpopular with other manufacturers, resulting in an interface that is nearly unique to HP printers.

As the IEEE 1284 standard became outdated in favor of USB, adapters sprang up to fill the gap between the older parallel printers and newer USB-only computers. However, manufacturers of these adapters went with the most popular printer connector: CEN-36 or centronics, which is considerably larger in size, although comparable in capability to the mini-centronics connection. So where does this leave those with old but useable mini-centronics parallel HP printers?

The answer is found in the centronics to mini-centronics adapter. This adapter converts a larger-sized centronics connection to the smaller, more compact mini-centronics end, allowing people to connect their parallel HP printers to their newer computers. A word of caution: the USB to parallel adapter is still necessary to complete the connection because the conversion from parallel to USB must still be made.

The contronics to mini-centronics adapter is a niche product that can be difficult to find, but it represents the best solution for those wanting to hold on to that old HP printer.

Nathan Kartchner is a product development rep for Sewell Direct, an online retailer of hard-to-find computer connectivity products, like the USB to Parallel adapter.

We have finally advanced to a time when technology can greatly improve graphics and printing. The technology we have at our
disposal now is so advanced we are able to produce inkjet printers capable of printing proofs so accurate they can actually represent the end product. This type of advanced technology has provided businesses with a major advantage over the competition in todays cut throat business world.

The printer industry has come a long way since the antiquated days of dot matrix printers. Even the early inkjet printers suffered from numerous problems such as clogging the print heads with dried ink when not in use and constant ink leaks. The amazing advances in inkjet technology has allowed many businesses to become far more self sufficient in terms of producing their own brochures and sales material.

For example, the new Epson Stylus Pro series printer uses chrome seven color ink advancement technology. With this product, users are still able to make use of the usual CMYK colors; however they also now have the option to utilize light cyan, light magenta, and gray. The addition of these three extra colors is anticipated to greatly enhance the overall picture quality the printer is capable of producing. The inkjet industry has come a long way indeed and now even home users can achieve more fantastic graphical output than they ever thought possible.

While the inkjet industry continues to evolve and develop a number of companies are making the decision to specialize in the inkjet industry. Xennia, an independent company, is just one of these companies. Since they moved to inkjet specialization, Xennia has built a solid reputation for their expertise in all aspects of the inkjet process. This company’s ability to keep up

with the constantly changing aspects of the inkjet industry is just one of the many reasons they have seen so much success. Regardless of whether the consumer is looking for information on ink, printheada or print media and platforms; Xennia is sure to have made ground breaking advancements. Xennia also offers classes to better enable individuals and corporations to fully understand the ever changing technology in the field of inkjet. Making use of the cutting edge technological services available at companies like Xennia is just one of the ways many corporations are finding to stay ahead of future competition.

The printing world is evolving right before our eyes. In 2003, the inkjet industry celebrated a ten year anniversary for the
introduction of dpi inkjet printers. Over the last decade, the inkjet industry has emerged to become a giant in the printing
industry. With the current rate of expansion who knows what tomorrow will bring? It will be interesting to watch the inkjet
story unfold.

This article was provided courtesy of Inkjet Printables.com. On the website you’ll find tons of useful information on inkjet accessories and tons of other inkjet consumables.

Inkjet printers were born in the 1980s, replacing the popular dot matrix printer. Inkjet printers drop droplets of ink onto printer paper to produce text and images. The drops of ink are actually smaller than the width of a strand of hair, so don’t expect to actually see individual droplets on your printouts. It’s not like the older dot matrix, which produced much larger drops of ink.

There are several major printer technologies- the two largest categories being impact and non-impact. As you probably guessed, impact printers work by actually touching the paper to produce text and images. Dot matrix printers fall in this category. Non impact printers never actually touch the paper. Both inkjet and laser printers fall into this category.

So what makes an inkjet printer work? There are several key components found in all inkjet printers that make them tick. The most important and fragile piece of any printer is the print head. It contains the ink-emitting nozzles. The ink cartridges hold the actual ink that is fed into the head. The stepper motor powers the print head, propelling it back and forth across the paper. A stabilizer bar ensures that that the movements of the print head are controlled and precise.

Paper is fed into the printer via a feeder. The paper is pulled inside the printer by several rollers. Of course, none of these components would function without power. Most printers use standard power supply. Your computer talks to the printer through interface ports, most commonly, the USB port.
