my GA-8IPE1000-G P4 board bad capacitors

bad capacitors near the cpu again! 4 x 3300uf 16v. i remember replacing them 2 years ago. it will always hang when these caps starts to fails.

anyways, if my memory is correct, it's been almost 6 years old. and after my repair i think it has a long way to go.

folder or directory cannot be deleted solution

I was deleting some folders on my dns323. a message saying directory cannot be deleted pops out.
1st thing i check is maybe there are some files left at the folder but i cannot see any. i even have the show hidden/system files set to show, and still folder seem empty. am using total commander (winxp) to connect on my dns323(linux-debian) via network.

i google and found the solution here.

ls -a

did show that there files left. but using windows i did not see any. so i telnet on my dns323 to see those hidden files. then i can delete them easily.

so some hidden files on linux cannot be seenon windows?

Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router

Hi,

Old one has 1.00.02.B18. it has a WD 500GB usb hdd connected, 7 x WVC54GCA IP camera.
The 7 Cam (3xwired and 4xwireless) was setup to save motion detect on scheduled time via FTp on my router usb hdd. it's so slow that after a week i decided to disabled the setup. it was last year.

Today, i decided to upgrade my routers firmware. 2/15/2011.
I found out on this site http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/linksys latest is v1.00.03.B15.

I did the needed upgrade process and initial test seem that it did improve my local and ftp access on my routers usb hdd where i saved the motion captured pictures.

Regarding WVC54GCA IP CAM...
I would really wish cisco/linksys will add a feature that will automatically saved the pictures on a folder based on daily date. like for ex. today 02152011 folder will only contains todays 00 to 24h pictures... Since one of the problem now is that if you have thousands of picture on a folder on the routers usb hdd, it will take too much time (soo slow) to access. this suggestion will surely help my access faster. Please.... add this one linksys/cisco.

10-Port USB 2.0 Hub with External Power Source (100~240V AC Adapter)

Hi,

A gift from my sisters best friend gave me this. I am not sure if they can read my mine but i am really having some usb port deficiency problem already since i have many device using usb. like my old palm tx, usb camera, sdcard readers, wife's ipod mini, printers, WD HDD ext., flash drives, usb mouse and etc.

it's so easy to use since i just connected it to a free usb port and also put the ext. power supply for the 10 port hub and now i dont have to remove most of usb devices.

here are the pictures of the said 10 usb hub.





Thanks jose and angie,

Reviving my old Palm V

Hi,

Palm V was released feb. 1991. OS 3.1 and i did upgrade it to OS 4.1 before.

Power	Built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery
CPU	Motorola DragonBall EZ MC68EZ328 16 MHz
Storage capacity	2 MB RAM
Display	3.2", 160x160 px backlit monochrome STN, 16-grayscale LCD touchscreen

Connectivity	IrDA, RS-232

I bought one around year 2000-2001.




still works :)

again, i did an upgrade to 4.1.2. i noticed that 4.1.2 seem to run slow on palm v. it shows some black screen when switching apps.

you will really need to use Zdigitzer that will let you recalibrate every soft reset.

WVC54GCA AD/DC power adapter

Hi,

Since 2 years ago i had problems with the adaptors. i have the old and new version.

Upto this day. 4 or 5 of the adaptors failed.


this is the AC/DC adapter that has 5v.



Anyways, first time one of them failed. i bought a universal adaptor and it's still working fine. when the other adaptors start to fail. i experimented and open the adaptor.

just by looking we can see the capacitor is bad. so i have it replaced.




new and old caps.

after replacement.




and it works!
