Is DVD Storage An Attractive Alternative For Your Computer Backup?Per Strandberg




If you have a computer for home use or for your business and don't take comprehensive backup for full protection then you are in the danger-zone.
Maybe you do not take any backup at all.

You can find in Windows a basic backup utility which are installed during the installation.

I should say for all Windows,but in fact it is not included during the installation of Windows XP Home Edition.

It is as if Microsoft thinks that data protection is not necessary for home computers and computers used by small businesses.

It is true that hard drives are becoming less prone to hard disk crashes.

But, if you consider not only hard disk crashes, but also virus infection, theft plus other treats, then you realize the importance of implementing a full-proof backup strategy for your computer.

Today many computers are equipped with a DVD burner, yet most do not use it to manage their vital data backup.
The amount of data you can store on a single DVD is several Giga Byte.

There are many types of backup you can make.

Here are the steps that I take myself to fully secure my data against data loss:

1. Disk image backup.
I use a disk image backup software and make a complete image backup of the disk on consecutive DVDs.
I also create an emergency rescue CD.

If I have a hard disk crash Ill use this emergency CD to boot from.

But, first I have to install and setup a new hard disk that is working.

Then I can recreate the data directly back from this backup stored on the DVDs.
This work is made fast and without the need to spend time installing both the operation system and the backup software.
Everything is instead copied directly into the hard disk from the DVDs.

2. Full hard disk backup.
I also use a data backup software and create a full backup of the hard disk on consecutive DVDs.

This is a standard disk backup. With this backup I'm able to restore any files and/or folders.
I can also move the data to another computer.

3. Regular scheduled backup of files and folder.
Here I use the same software product I use for the full disk backup. I make with this software regular schedule backups of the files and folders I work with.

In my case they include My Documents, Outlook emails and other files that are modified over time.
I do this by keeping a permanent rewritable DVD inside the DVD burner.
I then rotate a number of DVDs for this purpose so I can keep copies away from the computer.

Whenever I install important new programs from the Internet or I make other major changes to my system Ill also create a new disk image backup and a full hard disk backup.

You should use a DVD burner that is built for rewritable DVDs.
Unfortunately there are several competing DVD standards on the market.

The DVD-R, DVD-R and DVD-RAM standards supports DVDs which only can be written to once and cant be reused and those standards should be avoided.

The DVD player should instead support at least one rewritable DVDs standard.
Either DVD-RW or DVD+RW.

Conclusion:
I use regular schedule backup to backup the data files I work with on a daily basis.

Ill make a disk image backup so that in case of a hard disk failure I will be back in business fast.

I also create a full disk backup so that I will be able to restore individual files or folders. It makes it also possible to move the data to another computer.

Locating The Perfect Laptop Computer


Laptop computers are the perfect choice for people on the go. They offer all of the features of a desktop personal computer with the added benefits of portability. There are many kinds of laptop computers to choose from. When choosing a new laptop computer, look at the battery size, the memory and the physical size and weight of the computer.



When looking at new laptop computers, one thing you should consider is the battery size. All laptops come with a rechargeable battery. However, each laptop is different. Some batteries are designed to last longer than others. In general, a laptop computer battery will only last around two hours before needing to be recharged. As the computer ages and the battery gets older, the battery capacity will decrease. After approximately 1,000 charge and discharge cycles, the battery can no longer hold a charge. This usually equals about three years of normal laptop use. If you do not use the laptop often, the battery will become ineffective in about four years. If you plan on using the computers? battery over plugging the laptop into the wall, the best piece of advice is to look for a laptop that has the largest battery life. Also, it is recommended to keep the laptop computer plugged in when possible so the battery does not constantly have to recharge itself. A second battery can also be purchased to use when the first battery runs out of charge.



Memory size is another key factor in choosing laptop computers. Memory size also varies from laptop to laptop. The amount of memory you purchase will depend on what you are using the computer for. If you need to store a vast amount of information on your computer or need to store pictures or video, you will need a larger amount of memory. Most new laptop computers come with a large amount of memory space already installed. Look for a minimum of 512 MB of memory. If you will need more memory space, check to see if the new laptop you are purchasing comes with expansion slots for more space.



Consider the weight of the laptop computer before purchasing. Laptops come in different sizes and some weigh a lot more than others. If you travel frequently or have the need to carry your laptop with you all day, consider a lighter weight laptop computer. Beware though, that while the laptop may be lighter, some of the components such as the AC adapter may not be included on the spec listing. Also, some of the ultra-light laptops do have smaller keyboards and screens, some only measuring 12 inches. Any laptop computer with a screen more than 15 inches can be difficult to carry. Consider the weight of the laptop when it is placed in a carrying bag, too. This will also add to the bulkiness of traveling with your laptop.



Other considerations to make when purchasing your new laptop are added features such as WiFi access, brand name and warranty. Most laptops come with a one-year warranty. An added warranty may be a good idea to protect your purchase.

Some Computer Accessories We Want For Our Computer!


Printers:
A printer is a computer accessory we all need. From inexpensive ink jets to monochrome and color lasers, different printers are designed to do different jobs with your computer. You will have a few choices to make when getting your new printer: price, speed, and print quality are the main ones. Ink jet printers and digital cameras are changing how we print photographs. Load your printer up with special photo inks and paper and ink jet/bubble jet printers have become one of the best options for transforming a digital image into a photograph! For speed and razor sharp text the monochrome laser printers are fantastic.

Scanner:
This computer accessory is for input into your computer. Graphic designers use a scanner often to input pictures etc. If you don't have a digital camera a scanner is the only other way to get pictures into your computer to email, manipulate, add to cards, etc.

Computer Speakers:
These are computer accessories that most computers come equipped with. But some people like 'game players' want to upgrade for surround sound. You will find many different versions and brands.

The Keyboard and The Mouse:
These computer accessories also usually come with your computer system. Although most people will have to purchase new ones during the life of their computer. This is because they do not last as long as the computer system itself. Of course, it is dependent on how much you use them, how rough you are on them, and how clean you keep them.

Intellectual Property Law - Copyright Law - Copyright Infringement - Computer Software


The case of Point Solutions Ltd v Focus Business Solutions Ltd and Another [2007], which was heard in the Court of Appeal, involved a claimant who carried on business as a provider of computer software services, and in particular software for the creation and use of electronic application forms for provision to the financial services sector.

At the material time the defendants had for a number of years been the dominant supplier in that market. In April 2001, the claimant and the defendants entered into an outsourcing agreement under which the claimant carried out work for the defendants, work which included a review of a module in the defendants? Goal software. In order to carry out that work, the claimant was provided with three modules of the defendant?s Goal software.

In the course of its business the claimant supplied a product known as Acuo Software, a product which had been developed over a period between 2 July 2001 and August 2002. The development of Acuo Software was in response to an approach from CMI, a well known pension provider.

In October 2001, the outsourcing agreement between the claimant and the defendants came to an end. Apparently, the defendants had learned that the claimant had been awarded the CMI contract, for which the defendants had made an unsuccessful bid, and that the claimant intended to bid for a different contract with H (the parent company of CMI) in direct competition with the defendants.

The defendants asked for the return of the three modules of Goal software. The claimant claimed to have complied with this request. In October 2002, the defendants wrote to the claimant to:

?Seek confirmation of the provenance of the software you have developed in order to compete with [the defendants]?

The defendants also sought confirmation that the claimant had not undertaken any copying of the defendants' Goal software or solutions. The claimant replied, confirming that it had not copied the defendants' software, and offered to make voluntary disclosure (to a mutually agreeable third party) of material that would confirm that there had been no copyright infringement.

The parties agreed to the identity of the experts to be instructed, and terms of reference on the basis of which they should be asked to act. However, the matter did not progress. Eventually, in December 2004, the claimant commenced proceedings seeking a declaration of non-infringement of copyright. It was directed that an expert's report be obtained, however the parties failed to comply with that direction. The judge refused to grant the relief sought, saying that she had been asked to make a declaration that software, which she had not yet seen, did not infringe any copyright in another software product which she had also not yet seen. She went on to hold that copyright had not yet been demonstrated with regard to such software.

The claimant appealed. It submitted on appeal:

- That the judge was wrong to find that the claimant had failed to establish on the balance of probabilities that it did not copy the defendant's source code in creating the Acuo Software;

- That the judge had erred in finding that there was no utility in making a declaration even if there had been no copying; and

- That her finding that she would have exercised her discretion against granting a declaration even if she had found in its favour on the issue of non-infringement was perverse.

The appeal would be dismissed.

The claimant had not shown that the judge was wrong in finding that it had failed to establish on the balance of probabilities that it had not copied the defendants' source code in creating the Acuo Software. Therefore, the other two grounds did not arise.

It is interesting to note that a judge should be slow to allow proceedings of this nature to be brought to trial in circumstances where the parties have chosen (for tactical and forensic reasons) to disregard directions already given for the provision of the expert assistance needed if the court is to decide the real question in dispute.

Keep Your Computer Healthy By Repairing Windows Registry


Windows Registry is a database used by Windows operating system to store hardware and software configuration information. Computer problems are often caused by invalid key entries in the registry. Anyone with Administrator privileges can edit the Registry by using the registry editor (regedit.exe) that comes with the Windows operating system. However, great attention must be given to registry editing or repair because changing registry keys could disable the computer in the worst scenario. The registry editor is a GUI-based tool for managing the registry. When you type ?regedit? in the ?Run? dialog box and click ?OK?, the system will present a registry view similar to the Windows Explorer view of the file system. In general, the registry consists of 5 Root Keys that contains file associations, all preferences set for current user, settings for hardware, operating system, and installed applications, to name just a few.

Now you see how important the registry is to your computer. Maintaining the registry and stabilizing its growth can greatly increase the life expectancy of your Windows system. With this being said, it is a daunting task to repair registry because there are so many complex registry entries stored in your system. Most experienced technicians tend to stay away from the registry unless there are no other options to resolving a computer problem except editing registry keys.

In view of this, there are many third-party registry cleaner utilities that are dedicated to scanning and repairing the registry. By default, registry cleaner scans the registry for all types of errors. It also allows users to customize settings and scan for particular types of registry errors, like shared DLL errors, missing fonts, and invalid startup entries.

Besides finding incorrect or obsolete information in the registry, most registry cleaner utilities provide backup or restore function, allowing users to backup the whole Windows Registry so that they can use the backup to restore the registry to the current status in case they encounter serious system failure. Some of registry cleaner utilities even have the startup organizer feature that lets users disable unwanted startup programs and manage IE settings with ease.

Moreover, registry cleaner software is able to remove harmful viruses, adware, spyware, and Trojans because these intrusive programs tend to attack PC by creating and modifying registry keys. To sum up, there are so many advantages associated with cleaning registry. If your computer is running slow and even shutting down out of the blue, you should check out websites out there which feature a free scanner that can track down evil program lurking on your hard drive and protect you from possible future malicious attacks on your system.

Wayne Wu has been a freelance technical writer for several years. For more information about Registry Cleaner Software, check out businessinfo.tw/LP/fixregistry/



Web Animation: A New Era In Computer



At a basic level animation can be thought of as a flicker of life in objects. For example a flying bird is an "animate" object while a glass vase is an "inanimate" object. In real life inanimate objects move because of external forces, but in the virtual world, technology and imagination work together to create movement. Animation has become popular because real life has movement and the human eye is naturally attracted to movement.
Over the last 100 years animation has developed into a huge industry. Computer animation has advanced rapidly, and is now approaching the point where movies can be created with characters so lifelike as to be hard to distinguish from real actors. This involved a move from 2D to 3D, the difference being that in 2D animation the effect of perspective is created artistically, but in 3D objects are modeled in an internal 3D representation within the computer, and are then 'lit' and 'shot' from chosen angles, just as in real life, before being 'rendered' to a 2D bitmapped frame. There were predictions that famous dead actors might even be brought back to life to play in new movies.
Animations can be used in various ways on a web page such as making a log presentation more interesting by activating charts that dynamically show changes over time. Again animated games are very popular on the Web, especially 3D games. Animation attracts the attention as it is dynamic. For example animated buttons on a web page attract more attention than the static buttons.
When we speak of types of animations, the simplest type is an animated GIF. Animated GIFs are popular because they are easy to create and don't require special software for viewing. Another type is the animated text where the text changes color, blinks, or even explodes like a firework. Rollover effects changes the state of an object when the mouse cursor is moved over the object.
Flash is widely used to create animations for the Web because Flash animations are usually small in size and most Web users have the Flash player installed in their web browsers. In the future the animations on the Web will be more interactive and 3D animations will be widely used. Web animations will be used widely for education and entertainment. The gaming industry will increase its presence on the Web and support 3D and interactive animations. Animations that use simulations will be used for training and education. A lot of focus will be on multi user interactions and 3D animations and on making the Web more and more interactive.

Computer Virus


Who can forget the way the world was frozen with the threat of the "Millennium Bug"? While people around the globe should have been counting down to a phenomenal celebration, we were too busy preparing for certain doom and gloom beset by a computer virus. Of course, the clock struck twelve on January 1, 2000 and a new millennium quietly began, bug-free.

Those unfortunate enough to have had to deal with a computer virus knows all too well the damage that can be done. From taking on annoying quirks, to erasing files, to completely obliterating computers or entire systems, the powerful effect of a computer virus is nothing to sneeze at. Computer viruses pose real threats that can be minimal, or can cause worldwide destruction.

In computer security technology circles, the definition of a computer virus is a "self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents". A computer virus behaves in a manner similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells.

Extending the analogy, the insertion of a computer virus into a program is termed as an "infection" and the infected file (or executable code that is not part of a file) is called a "host". Viruses are one of several types of malicious software, also known as "malware". The term "virus" is often extended to refer to worms, Trojan horses and other sorts of malware. These are less common than they used to be, however, so the inclusion of these types of malware can be confusing to computer users. This confusion can have serious implications, as it can lead to a focus on preventing one genre of malware over another, potentially leaving computers vulnerable to future damage. The basic rule holds that computer viruses can only damage software, not hardware.

Viruses have targeted in the following types of hosts:

* Boot sectors of floppy disks; hard disk partitions.

* Master boot record of a hard disk.

* Binary executable files (.COM-files and .EXE-files in MS-DOS; portable executable files in Microsoft Windows; ELF files in Linux).

* General-purpose script files (batch files in MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows; shell script files on Unix-like platforms).

* Application-specific script files (Telix scripts).

* Documents containing macros (Microsoft Word documents).

A computer virus by nature is destructive, but others are created solely for the annoyance factor. Some viruses pester computer users with a delayed payload, also known as a "bomb". For example, a bomb virus might display a message on a specific day, or wait until it has infected a certain number of hosts. A time bomb occurs on a particular date or time, and a logic bomb occurs when the computer user takes an action that triggers the bomb. However, the predominant negative effect of viruses continues to be their uncontrolled self-reproduction, which wastes or overwhelms computer resources.

To hinder the continuous spread of computer viruses, programmers have created anti-virus software. However, a fast infector can infect every potential host file that it's able to access. This presents a special problem to anti-virus software. A virus scanner will perform a system-wide scan, accessing every potential host file on the computer. If the virus scanner fails to notice that a virus exists in the computer's memory, the virus can "piggy-back" on the virus scanner, and infect every file that is scanned. Fast infectors rely on their incredible spreading rate. To combat the problem, certain anti-virus software programs, like the well-known Spyware, are expanding to cover worms and other threats.

Like the potential devastation of the Millennium Bug in 2000, computer viruses continue to present a real threat to single users and corporate networks alike.

The Hidden Costs of Computerizing Credit and Collection Departments


Most credit departments in America today have become computerized. The credit analysts and collection specialists have been replaced by customer service representatives. The receptionist has been replaced by an obnoxious sounding electronic voice. All these changes have come at a cost to you, the consumer.

When applying for credit, the consumer is now to reduced to a set of numbers that are entered into a computer. Based upon a specific formula, the request for credit is either accepted or denied. Each customer service representative in the credit department is issued a generic set of instructions, and granted an equal amount of authority regarding how to handle every request. In the collection department, the customer service representatives are also issued generic instructions about how to handle disputed claims.

In collection departments many times, extension and deferral requests are now handled by computers . Injecting technology into both of these departments results in financial and emotional costs to consumers. How many of us have designated thirty minutes of our lunch hour to contact one of our creditors to resolve a problem, and after navigating the electronic maze, have been told the estimated wait for this call would be fifteen to twenty minutes? We have various responses to this situation. Our first inclination is to hang up and get on with our lunch hour. This response is understandable, especially if we are sure that the creditor we are calling is the one who is at fault. Unfortunately it comes with the risk of damaging our credit rating and/or costing us significant late fees or finance charges. Another response is to wait on hold for fifteen to twenty minutes.

By the time we talk to a customer service representative, our frustration level is high, and we will likely will have to ask for a quick resolution because our time is running out. In most work places today, personal phone calls are not allowed on company phones. We are required to use our cell phones to make these calls. If it is necessary for us to spend sixty minutes a week contacting our creditors to straighten out their errors, we are using 240 anytime minutes of our cell phone plans. These calls account for over half of a 500 minute cell phone plan!!! In many cases we experience the ultimate in frustration when we spend thirty minutes of our lunch hour trying to deal with a problem, and we discover that the customer service representative we are talking to does not have the authority to handle our dispute. We end the conversation knowing that we will have to spend another lunch hour on the phone with that creditor.

Waiting on hold for long periods of time during a work day can cause people to compromise their jobs. Since people can ill afford late fees and finance charges, they feel as if they have no choice but to continue with the phone calls which cut into their work day. If contact with a collection department becomes too difficult, people who start the process in good faith, may convert to become people who do not care anymore. In many instances, being denied quick access to credit and collection departments results in customers incurring damaging information on their credit reports. One of the results of eliminating qualified people in credit departments in exchange for using generic computer driven credit guidelines to grant credit, is higher risk and more costly credit. Chances are that customer service representatives will not be able to solve problems such as a computer increasing an interest rate from 6% to 19.9% on a customer's bill because the payment is recorded as a day late, even though the payment arrived on time and was misapplied by the creditor's accounting department.

At best, it will probably take multiple calls to the institution to correct the problem. The number of credit cards issued to people that can ill afford to have them is another outcome of generic credit policies. Once again, the subsequent payment defaults on these cards are passed onto all cardholders. Due to the considerable sums of money generated by late fees, finance charges and increased interest rates instated after late payments, credit card companies can afford to carry substandard credit card holders.

Some of the results of eliminating collection specialists in collection departments are:

1) Generic instructions do not cover all collection problems.

2) Customer service representatives do not have enough authority to enable efficient solutions for some common problems.

3) Customer accounts become referred further into the collection process due to inadequately trained customer service representatives who cannot "think outside the box".

4) Due to computerization, it is rare to be able to access the same customer service representative twice. Therefore the customer has to give the complete account history each time he or she makes a call in order to bring the new representative up to speed.

5) When customer service is outsourced, the people working in the phone banks have no background on the accounts, and are unfamiliar with the original representations made by the company.

6) When outsourcing occurs outside this country, many times communication is difficult due to the limited English vocabulary of the customer service representatives.
Before technology was introduced into corporate America, the sales, credit and collection departments worked in concert. In the corporate environment of today, too many times the sales, credit, and collection departments live out the cliche that the "right hand does not know what the left hand is doing". The consumer is the one who pays for this chaos.

I had a career in the credit/debt field for 24 years. I have been on the side of banks, leasing companies, retail stores, credit card companies and various other businesses. I worked in debt collections, negotations, and loan workouts. These experiences have become the motivation for me to write articles about debt and finance for both the consumer and business reader. olympicdebtspecialists.blogspot.com/

Questions To Answer Before Buying That New Computer Monitor


Aesthetics and display size are important when purchasing a new computer monitor, but here are some more very important questions to ask.

What are you useing your new computer monitor for?

You should think about what type of work you will be doing on your new computer monitor. While one monitor may be great for graphics, you may not need so much for things like spreadsheets.

Where will you be useing your new computer monitor?

This can be a critical question. Is your space limited? If so you obviously won't want a big bulky computer monitor hogging the space you do have. If this is the case you should consider an LCD instead of a CRT because they are more compact and would definitely leave you more free space.

Here are a several more things to consider when deciding between a CRT and a LCD computer monitor. Display size; with an LCD monitor the size it says will be the actual display size. On the other hand, a CRT says 19" but it will only have 18" of actual viewable screen. Resolution on a typical 19" CRT monitor can have a resolution between 800x600 to 1600x1200. But with LCD monitors the resolution is usually set and cannot be changed. If you do lower or raise the resolution it may distort the image.

LCD computer monitors use less than half of the power a CRT computer monitor uses. But CRT monitors responded more quickly than LCDs. It will only be a problem when you use programs that frequently change images like some graphic software and games.

As far as the price CRT computer monitors are two to three times cheaper than LCDs of the same size. But if you buy an LCD that is 15" you have a viewing space of 15 inches. Where as the 15" CRT you have 14 inches of viewable screen.

That brings us to what size new computer monitor do you need? Generally a 17" LCD or 19" CRT will give you the most favorable and comfortable viewing area for most purposes. If you are an avid gamer or into commercial drafting or animation you may need a larger screen. Your best choice may be a CRT computer monitor when comparing the costs of the 21" models due to high costs of similar LCDS.

You've learned a lot about computer monitors now and you should have a good idea what your needs are. You are ready to start comparison-shopping. Another good idea would be to ask your friends what they use and what they like and dislike about their computer monitor.

Good luck! --

Key Features In A Computer Printer

Submitted By: Pencil Writer
 
 















A printer is a useful output device that prints the data from a computer into a printing material like paper. There are various types, the most common ones being inkjet and laser. Inkjet is very useful to reproduce true colours, which only a very expensive laser one can produce. However, the printing speeds are lower and the text quality can be low when compared to laser. The running costs can be higher as well. But overall, for an all-round use, the inkjet is useful.


In a laser printer, the speed is very good and the output quality is also very high. However, the cost of toner cartridges for the laser types is higher when compared to the ink cartridges.


The next feature is monochrome or colour printer. A monochrome produces black and white images only, which is useful for printing text, but is not very appropriate for photo printing and other colour printouts. For an inkjet printer to print both black and white text and colour images, 4 colours should be available in the cartridge.


There is a feature called PictBridge, which allows transfer of photos from a memory card of a digital camera into the printer directly and produce colour photos printout. The print size and other features can be altered in the camera itself and the printout can be taken directly.


While purchasing printers, it is better to have an idea of the cost of cartridges and the availability, as at first some printers might be cheaper to buy, but the cost of the consumables would be so high and also difficult to locate, that buying the expensive version becomes more cost effective in the long run! Also in all-in-ones, it is important to check out the memory capacity, when it falls short of printing papers. This is evaluated in MB; the more the memory capacity, the speeder the printer.


The drivers are given along with the software. The updates for the drivers are made available in the manufacturer?s website itself. Many all-in-ones give the facilities to fax, copy and scan without the PC switched on, which saves time. Printing speeds should also be considered, while buying. The competent ones give about 20-25 black and white pages per minute. However, the colour pages take time depending upon the image resolution etc.


Power consumption has to be taken into consideration. Some models can waste a lot of electricity, when in stand-by mode. Also the various types of printing modes offered has to be analyzed as well, with the common ones being standard, typically draft and best designed. This allows the running costs to be kept minimal. There are various media types wherein the print can be done. This includes different shapes, sizes and types of papers, CD/DVD, labels etc. Appropriate printers should be used for the specific needs.


Some also offer printing at both the sides, which is a very good and useful feature for many. The final thing to be noted is the connections. Mostly the latest versions have USB ports to attach to different USB devices. Also some are equipped with Ethernet facilities as well.


Printers are very advantageous and also come in various models and types, to suit different needs and necessities. Choosing the right model saves time and also proves useful, along with being cost effective as well.

How To Solve Computer Monitor Display Problems That Caused By A Defective Screen Grid Voltage (G2)


Computer Monitor display problems such as no display with high voltage symptom can be caused by many reasons. A defective picture tube, a faulty video preamplifier IC, a missing heater voltage, torn signal cable, negative G1 voltage became too high (-120 volt and above), CRT board problems, a missing or low G2 voltage and etc could cause no display but with the present of high voltage.

In this article I?m going to show you how to tackle a missing or low G2 voltage problem. First, you must confirm if there is high voltage present at the monitor. You can use a high voltage probe to measure the anode voltage (24 KV) or you can try to listen to the high voltage sound produced (if you are experienced enough) once the monitor is switch on If the high voltage is present then your focus should be in the screen grid voltage (G2) circuit. If there is no high voltage, then I will explain it in another article.

How to confirm if G2 voltage present at the pin of the CRT board? By placing your positive probe (red probe) to the G2 point and negative probe to cold ground with power on, your meter should registered some reading. For your information, certain types of computer monitors, if you place your multimeter to the G2 point it would caused the monitor to shut down due to the caused of impedance loading of your meter. Assuming you measured a low G2 voltage say 20 volts dc (a good G2 voltage is somewhere between 250 ? 300 + DC volt), the next step you should do is to isolate the problem to see whether is the G2 circuit that dragged down the voltage or the flyback transformer focus/screen voltage divider that had gone bad.

Switch off the monitor and desolder the G2 wire from the CRT board. Place your probe accordingly (red probe to G2 wire and black probe to cold ground) Now, switch on the monitor and begin to see the meter readout. If the reading you get is still about 20 volts or higher a little bit then suspect a defective flyback. You can also try to adjust the screen voltage control of the flyback. If it already turned to maximum then the flyback need to be replaced. You can also use a cheaper way to solve it. Use a monitor blur buster to add in and defeat the original focus/screen cable and use the cable from the monitor blur buster to act as focus and G2. Thus, with this method the newly tapped G2 voltage could be solder it back to its original location and you will get a display when the monitor is switched on!

Now, what if the readout from your meter shown 250 to 300+ volts dc when the G2 wire voltage checked out of circuit? This is a very clear indication that there could be components that pulling down the G2 voltage to 20 vdc. From experienced, the resin coated type high voltage ceramic disc capacitor (usually in the 1-3 KV range) had caused quite a number of monitors became no display due to the capacitor pulling down the G2 voltage.

If you measure the high voltage capacitor with a digital capacitance meter or tester, chances are very high it reads okay (within the capacitance range). The truth is, you cannot rely on digital capacitance meter to test the capacitance value only, in fact this high voltage capacitor have a high tendency to breakdown when under full load or operating voltage. The capacitor can only be accurately test by a special meter like the Sencore LC103 capacitor analyzer.

The cost of this meter is very high, so what I did I bought a Kyoritsu insulation tester for checking the high voltage capacitor purposes. Just clip on the capacitor leads under test and press start, a good capacitor will show some charge and discharge reading but the spoilt one will remained high and would not discharge.

Replacing only the bad high voltage capacitor made the G2 voltage rise back to normal and solve the computer monitor display problems. Hope you enjoy this article and please feel free to drop by website to learn electronic repair tips and secrets everyday.

Overcome Eye Strain Caused by Constant Computer Use


The present age has been called the "computer generation." There have been many advances in technology over the last century that make life easier on everyone.



Our society is dominated by machines, especially computers.



Generally the ill-effects of our lifestyle can be reflected in the condition of our eyes. In this regard, computers have become an indispensable part of our lives, making everything easier and allowing people to work quickly and efficiently. There is, however, a downside to our computer-enhanced society.



This downside to constant computer use can lead to medical problems that can affect you for a long time.



Dr. James E. Sheedy, OD and PhD, explains:



We all know that many computer users have eye-related problems. Studies show that between 25% and 93% of computer users are prone to them. Surveys have also shown about one in six patients in the general optometric practice schedules an examination because of these problems. Although any one of several factors (or a combination of factors) can cause these symptoms, a single term ?Computer Vision Syndrome? (CVS) has been adopted to describe the problems.



Eyestrain



One of the most common health problems you are likely to encounter when using computers frequently is eyestrain. Think about it. Do you spend several hours a day in front of your computer?



You may not realize it, but spending hours in front of your computer screen every day can harm your eyes. Once you put strain on your eye muscles, they begin to show signs of stress. You might experience severe headaches, pain, irritation, a burning sensation in your eyes, and blurred vision.



In this article, our goal is to explore relief and treatment for eye strain. We will suggest ways to avoid problems related to constant computer, CRT, and LCD usage on your eyes.



Realize the Gravity of Eyestrain



Eye strain is caused by a continuous exposure to computer, television, or any other device that changes color, content, and appearance too often or rapidly. Eye strain makes your eyes look tired and worn out.



Furthermore, if you neglect your eyes, they will be strained to such an extent that it could be difficult to reverse the damage. You need to be extra careful if your occupation needs you to spend a lot of time working with computers, CRTs, LCDs, and wielding machines.



Eye strain decreases your concentration and leads to chronic fatigue, preventing you from fulfilling your tasks on time. Further, eye strain has a detrimental effect on the look of your eyes, making them appear dull and lifeless. Gradually, eye strain leads to other eye problems like dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles, crow's feet, and more.



After spending all that time and money on eye makeup, it is disappointing when the eyes in your mirror look dull and tired. You can easily avoid such facial distractions by checking and controlling factors that are likely to cause eye strain.



Seek Remedies and Professional Help



What do you do if you begin experiencing unattractive dark circles around your eyes, or more serious eye problems related to eye strain or fatigue? Don't despair.



Doctors who specialize and treat eye problems should be your first resource for solutions to serious eye problems. Doctors who specialize in both medical as well as surgical care of your visual capacity (including your over all eye health) are called ophthalmologists. They are primarily concerned with diagnosis and treatment of disease. On the other hand, the latter are more interested in analyzing the effects of diseases and the consequences.



Those who are specialists in treating specific kinds of eye diseases like glaucoma, presbyopia, astigmatism, and nearsightedness are called optometrists or doctors of optometry (O.D.).



Opticians custom tailor eye products for you. They also offer valuable vision-related services like providing suitable products like sunglasses, contact lenses, and bifocal lenses, as advised by the ophthalmologist.



In a recent visit to my ophthalmologist, I became aware of a special type of glasses made by a company called Zeiss. I learned that these glasses would reduce stress on my eyes from doing a lot of work in front of my computer screen. Since I spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen, I invested in these glasses. They were a considerable expense because I purchased them in addition to the long distance glasses I usually need because of my near-sightedness. Nevertheless, I feel it is a worthwhile investment.



I was presently surprised with how effective these glasses were in reducing eye strain and headaches I used to experience after looking at the computer screen for too long. Plus, these glasses also help me see smaller fonts on the computer screen. If you suffer from eye strain, you may want to consider investing in some computer protection glasses like the kind created by Zeiss.



I was also told by my ophthalmologist to also do exercises to refocus my eyes. He explained after every 20 minutes on the computer I should get up and walk away from the screen. Then I should look at objects far away in my house or outside my window to refocus my eyes for a few minutes.



In other words, give your eyes a break and refocus your vision. In addition, I try not to always look at the computer screen when I type and blink occasionally. Avoid staring at computer or LCD screens for hours at a time without a break.



You don't have to look tired, worn out, or have dark circles under your eyes. There are promising treatments available from top eTailers like Amazon.com or bodestore.com.



These online stores provide creams on the market that help fight the visible signs of aging such as dark circles. For instance, one such cream is Eyederma(tm). Eyederma(tm) was specifically developed to alleviate the affects of dark circles and is available from both bodestore.com and Amazon.com.



It is crucial to protect your eyes from too much stress from computers and electronic LCD type exposure. Be mindful of these tips as you use computer and other LCD screens. These preventative measures can go a long way to help protect your eyes.



Eye strain not only makes your eyes tired, it takes away from their natural beauty and glow. Tired eyes will reveal your age, and worse, may make you appear older, less vibrant, and perhaps even ill.



However, if you keep them healthy and safeguard them from strain, your eyes will appear more beautiful and vibrant. Good eye care insights from professionals and effective eye treatment creams like Eyederma(tm) will be a powerful combination in maintaining good-looking, healthy eyes.

 by: John San Filippo

It's easy to be intimidated by all the laptop models on the market today. There are literally dozens and dozens in every price range.

The key to finding the right one for you is to step back and consider exactly how you plan to use your laptop. When you define what you need before you go shopping, buying the right machine becomes much easier.

Here are 5 basic factors to consider:

1. SIZE

In the world of mobile computing, size definitely matters. The size of a laptop affects two key areas: portability and display size.

If you're always on the go and will be using your computer only in short bursts, a so-called ultralight will save you some shoulder strain.

On the other hand, if you're going to spend hours in front of your laptop, a larger display may be in order.

Today, some laptop displays exceed 17 inches, rivaling the display size of many desktop systems. The down side is that these monsters can easily weigh three times as much as an ultralight.

2. HARD DRIVE

Speaking of size, what about the size of the hard drive? One way to approach this issue is to ask yourself the following question:

Will this be my primary computer, or will it supplement my desktop system?

If the former, you should look for a bigger hard drive - 60 GB or more.

If the latter, you may be able to make it with a 20-30 GB hard drive.

But even this isn't absolute.

If, for example, you plan to copy a huge MP3 library from your desktop system to your laptop to make your music library portable, you'd be well advised to err on the side of too big.

3. MEMORY

In determining the right amount of system memory, or RAM, take a look at the ways in which you intend to use your laptop:

If your needs are somewhat mundane - email, spreadsheets, word processing, etc. - 256 MB of RAM should be plenty. This is a common configuration for many laptops, so it means you probably won't need to spend extra for more RAM.

On the flip side, if you're an aspiring mobile digital photographer or videographer, you should stuff your laptop with as much RAM as it can hold.

In fact, exactly how much RAM your laptop can hold may in part drive your purchase decision. Applications for editing and manipulating multimedia content are notorious resource hogs.

4. NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Thanks in no small part to the Internet, computing in the 21st century relies heavily on being connected:

Connected to the Internet, connected to a corporate network, connected to a wireless network, connected to a home network, connected to an online service.

Your life will be easier if you buy a laptop that includes built-in means to connect to them all.

5. PRICE

If you're considering a laptop, you're probably wondering how much money you'll need to spend.

A few years ago, you'd be hard-pressed to find one for under $2,000. Today, there are plenty of laptops to be had for under $1,000.

What's more, most of the major manufacturers offer a variety of financing options.

Laptop prices have come down, to be sure. However, a laptop still represents a fairly major purchase for most people.

If you take the time to search for a laptop that meets your specific needs, you should get many years of use and enjoyment from this important investment.
