Near miss

by parthiban, 13-09-2017, 05:33 PM

Had a really crazy near miss yesterday - worst one I've ever had as it was the first time I was thinking "oh c**p, I'm going to have a really serious crash now!"

Had to brake really hard going downhill round a bend on a greasy road and somehow stopped just short - thank god for all the electronics in our cars!

Old hi-fi equipment

by parthiban, 13-09-2017, 05:19 PM

Are there any decent companies that I can sell old hi-fi equipment to? We've got a set of old Sony separates that haven't been used in several years - they're in fantastic condition though so seems a waste to just chuck it.

Thought of ebaying but then thought there must be specialist dealers and stuff that probably buy this sort of thing? If anyone's got any experience of it I'm interested

Hard Drive

by Jambo, 13-09-2017, 01:17 PM

Just posting something for my brother.

He shut his pc down the other night, and when it went to boot up it asked him to "Install Boot media" etc etc. I tried the hard drive in my pc and got the same message. I also tried it as a 2nd hard drive, so it wouldnt boot up. The computer didnt even recognise the hard drive, and so didnt appear.

Im just wondering if you think the reader of the Hard drive has broken, and so doesnt send any data to the computer? also, is there anyway of getting the data off the hard drive, as it had wedding invitations on etc.


Thanks

James

Best way to power laptop ?

by Saraj, 13-09-2017, 09:00 AM

Quick question and suggestions,

I want to be able to power my laptop in my car.

Do I:

A: Buy a power inverter 25 quid from Halfords and use that

B: Buy a new battery for my laptop at around 50 quid?

At the moment my battery only lasts about 20 mins max on full charge and buying a new battery would last around 4 hours on my laptop in power saver mode.


What do you think? are these power inverters as good as there sound? or do i just stick to a new battery?

Just a thought on the new member sign up, would it not be possible to get one of those letter/number generator things so new members have to input the code to verify there human, would this help avoid Spambots siging up.
