Windows XP Prompts You to Re-activate After You Restore Your Computer
Activation - Explained:
Windows XP will typically remind you to activate the product (most users will have 30 days to activate XP after installation).
To activate XP manually, you can use the Start menu shortcut in the System Tools Accessories folder. At the command prompt, type: oobe/msoobe /a or Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Activate Windows.
Tip: msoobe stands for “Microsoft Out of Box Experience.”

A car converts about a third of its fuel’s energy to mechanical energy to move the car. About a third goes out the tailpipe unused. Most of the remaining third is released as heat. That heat must be conducted away from the car’s engine, or the engine will reach temperatures fatal to the engine. At the simplest conceptual level, here’s what happens:
The water pump pushes cool coolant from the radiator into the engine, where heat from the engine is transferred into the coolant, thereby cooling the engine. Assuming the thermostat is open or partially open, the hot coolant leaves the engine through the thermostat and is transported to the radiator, where its heat is transferred to the air blowing through the radiator, thereby cooling the coolant. The cooled water is then ready to once again go to the water pump. Continue reading »

This ATX power supply came in with the complaint of intermittent no power. When testing it with power on, I could see that the fan is not working. Not only that, some filter capacitors also became bulge because of the heat accumulated inside the power supply. The failure of the fan would not suck out the heat generated by the components especially the switch mode power transformer. If you switch off a working power supply and power removed, touch the power transformer, you could feel it is quite warm. Another heat source would be the heat sink where the output diodes attached to it. Diodes run a little bit hotter in filter circuit than diodes in other circuits due to the high current present at the secondary output line.

A customer sent me a JVC HR-J312EM model VCR for repair. The complaint was no power. I personally don’t repair VCR because I’m more on computer monitor repair. Because of he is a friend of mine; I told him that I’m willing to take the challenge to repair it. Repairing VCR at my era actually has begun to go obsolete because of the market filled with VCD players. Continue reading »

This Viewsonic 15” Monitor came in with the complaint of color problem in the whole display. Some techs called it as rainbow display while some referred to it as color patches fault. This problem usually were related to a bad picture tube (due to a fall that caused the internal shadow mask to come out from the original location) or from a faulty degaussing circuit.

If you think that electronic repair is very difficult to learn then you have to read this article where only by using a solder gun could solve a Monitor problem. Of course there were many tough dog cases (very difficult to find out the fault) in electronic repair but at the same time there were also many cases that can be solve by some simple ways.
This LG 710E LG Monitor came in with no blue color problem. How do I know if the blue color was missing? Simply run a color test (that you may also download from the internet) or from a Monitor testing program generator, you could clearly see as which of the color is missing when you run the color bar test.

This DELL 17” Monitor (Made in Malaysia under LIKOM model L705XXX, product no: L7055LP) came in with no power symptom. Normally after opening up the cover I would look at the power supply (primary side) for any burnt and cracked components first. If there are darkened area and burnt components, I would tell myself that this Monitor needs a little more time to repair it. If it is not (component’s intact) I would usually begin to discharge the filter capacitor and start checking the fuse. Continue reading »
