Mac with corrupt External Hard Drive.

2010-12-31T10:04:00.000-06:00

So my mac's hard drive became corrupt, it still mounts and I can still see some of the stuff on it, but it doesn't let my back all of it up. Disk Utility fails at repairing it. It does not look like a hardware issue, but a file system issue.

DSLR Cameras

2010-11-27T14:25:00.000-06:00

I'm helping my sister buy an SLR camera, a couple things.. It needs to be compatible with Minolta Lenses. Sony has purchased Minolta, so it looks like the Sony A33 is a nice choice, its much faster then the A290 for only $99 more, so in her price range, this is the one.

Important thing about DSLR cameras, it cost a lot to switch over to another brand, so buy a brand you can stick with. I use Nikon and am Happy with their products, I also like Canon and Sony. All are great brands to use, they all have their pluses and minuses. Canons have super fast auto focus, Nikons have excellent low light capabilities, Sonys are packed with high specs and features for a low price.

Also a tip, first lens you should buy is a 50mm F1.8 or F1.8 all brands have this one, great for photo class and learning with your camera. Also great in low light.

Cleaning up the web server.

2010-11-27T10:18:00.000-06:00

Yes, Its a good idea to open up and vacume your computers, specially when they are on all the time. Dust collects on the fans and other components causing the fans to fail and the computer to overheat and crash.

2010-10-03T10:25:00.001-05:00

This Dell is loaded with four viruses one was in the restore portion of the computer. I can restore it just to a another day before I had to remove the restore allocated space then remove the virus that way there were 3 other viruses that were on the computer as well that had to be removed. Virus removal was done was Microsoft security essentials. Norton did not see the viruses. I have installed Firefox as the main browser and removed most of the add-ons in Internet Explorer. Thesecond step up for this computer is going to be too upgraded to Windows Vista 64-bit.

Installing windows XP on iMac Aluminum 24.

2008-04-12T09:04:00.002-05:00

First I'm going to start out by saying, THIS MAC IS BADASS! Intel T7700 (2.4 ghz core2 duo) 320gb hard drive has plenty of room for Windows. Used boot camp to install Windows XP, where it did not want to partition the space for windows, so I had to boot it off the Leopard cd, and do it manually gave it a 20 gb partition, then boot it up as usual and went back to boot camp, asked me for a windows cd, rebooted and from there on was pretty much a normal Windows Xp install. 20gb partition is pretty small only used it for windows itself and some small programs, but there is a 500gb external hard drive formatted NTFS that is attached to make up for space, this way OSX has 300gb and Windows has whatever is attached. Anyway, windows install went well, press the "option" button while booting to choose what os to boot to. Booted in to windows, inserted the Leopard CD, and installed the mac drivers for windows, really simple, everything worked, I didn't have to go hunting for drivers, did the Apple update to make sure the driers are up to date. Windows Xp runs very fast on this machine!

Replacing HD in Apple iBook

2008-04-12T08:46:00.001-05:00

This apple ibook, has a bad hard drive, would not boot every time and
it was slooooooow, checked it with disk doctor, hd was shot. This
procedure is time consuming and i like to take photos of where the
screws go this way its easier to put together. This is not my first
ibook hd replacement, so it this was a quicker process then before.
While taking this one apart, I noticed that some of the screws were
missing therefore it was opened up before, but it all went well. I
wanted to use the Simpletech HD, but it was a SATA, not IDE, this one
uses the IDE type, just in luck had one on hand, slapped it in,
Installed OSX, all is good!

2.5 Inch Hard Drives not all IDE.

2008-04-12T08:38:00.001-05:00

I have purchased a portable USB hard drive, its a Simpletech
Pinifarnina 2.5 inch 160 Gig (on the left). I noticed that the new
portable hard drives are SATA based. On the right is an IDE. If you
are replacing a hard drive in your notebook computer, make sure you do
some research because you may end up sol. Most newer Laptops do use
SATA such as Macbooks, HP's etc.. but if you are looking to replace an
iBook, you will need to go looking for an IDE drive.

Resoldering the Toshiba M35x S149

2006-03-15T13:06:00.000-06:00

Just finished installing the AC Jack, also had to go over some connections on the MB to get it up to shape. Runs like a champ! The problem with this motherboard is the AC jack location and it causes problems after some wear and tear on the laptop. The symptoms are: video goes off but seems like laptop is still running, when testing with external monitor, same thing so this is not an LCD problem. But problem fixed, no more shutting down! Some call this a common Toshiba Shutdown Problem where the computer shuts down after you touch it.

If you have this problem with your Toshiba laptop, let me know, I can usually fix it if not them replace the motherboard. I charge $150 for laptop service.

I found a USB device that I just didn't know what it was. As I was looking for drivers on the IBM site, I pointed to something on the screen for my customer, accidently rouching it, and it made a "beep" sound! As I was looking for drivers I did see an Elo Touch Screen driver. I quickly downloaded it and installed it. This was the missing piece! Touchscreen works great, like on a Palm but more sencetive. My client is very happy and so am I :)

This model has been on the market for a while with numerous version updates. Many 3rd party appliences such as Xbox'es support it. One thing about it is that you can install a hacked firmware that gives you many more functions as a very expensive corporate router would. I added extra long 3rd party antennas so that my client has signal on all 3 floors. Tested signal with laptop, added security, all is good! Now ready to go to my next client :)

This laptop also has a bad AC port (Already ordered and on its way so I can replace it), It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. Its a P4 1.5Ghz Celeron M with 256 mb Ram, DVD/CDRW combo drive, 60 Gig HD, built in wirelessG, and a Wide Screen. I have tested this laptop and runs good except for the plug issue, It also runs Mac OSX, that's right.. I said Mac as in Macintosh OSX x86 version but only runs the screen in 1024x768 instead of 1280x768 in OSX. Boot up time with OSX is only 18 seconds, much faster then Windows XP. OSX looks really nice. All it needs is a wireless driver and a video driver, not yet available. Oh ya almost forgot .. It runs Windows XP too ;P

ECS iBuddy -Bad AC port and possibly burnt motherboard

This is a P4 1.8ghz laptop with a melted AC port and possibly blown motherboard. I did some reaserch and this is a common problem, the way to fix it is to either replace the pins with better ones. What's unusual with this laptop, it uses standard desktop DDR memory. It has easy access to the processor making upgrades simple. This laptop can take a 3Ghz M chip (impressive). Also this laptop does not have an internal battery and only runs off AC unlike other laptops. I will try to fix the pins in the AC port, and see if it runs<, it it doesn't then I will part it out on eBay. /p>

These are the nastiest hamburgers, I'm only eating them because I am far from home and there is nothing else. After I eat these, I usually get a low throbbing mingrane headache.. Yuppy what joy looking forward to this. And did I mention that these little bastards are very greasy?
