Why do you insist on short-circuiting something? the purpose of the -5V output pin is to
provide a voltage of -5V with respect to the GROUND pins, and not to be short-circuited.
Maybe it will survive your abuse, but it does not have to. And maybe it will solve your
problem, but it does not have to either.
The only thing you should do is provide some load to the +5V (i.e. between +5V and ground)
in such a way that at least 0.8A is flowing all the time. A 5 to 6 ohm resistor should
do the trick, but be careful it will heat up and must be strong enough to dissipate
4 to 5W (current*voltage) so it cannot be a regular .25W or .5W resistor, it would have
to be one of those wire-wound resistors (about 1 inch long, 1/3 inch thick).
Alternatively you could attach a light bulb (as from a bike's or car's head light),
that too would (have to) heat up a bit, again dissipating some 5 Watts.
What also is supposed to work is just connecting an obsolete motherboard, whatever is on
board will need a couple amps.
And whatever you do, once everything has been set up, I suggest you actually measure the
voltages you plan on using, before you use them, since after your experiments I am not
that confident your PSU is still OK...

Vibrator of my Nokia 6600 is not working properly for 3 days, does anyone one know how to troubleshoot that.

I don't want to know how you broke it. It could be because of over-use.

Does it vibrate? No? It's broke.

Shut down/close the phone, boot it up again; see if it reset the vibration.
Toggle on and off the vibration mode, just in case.
Reset the phone ( there must be a reset menu somewhere ) to the factory settings.
if it does not work, pay a visit on one of the howard chui forums (google for howard chui ), maybe someone can help you.

I tried, but these didn't work.

Thanks for that, I am going to check that.

Fundamentally it's a small motor with an off-balance weight attached to the shaft. It will eventually fail.

It's most likely that the motor itself has gone. It's an individual component that sits into the main housing so a full disassemby but no soldering is required.
Pop along or post to your nearest Nokia Care point (you'll find them on your countries Nokia web site) and they will fix it for you, shouldn't cost much.

Hi all,
I wanted to enquire about a topic which just came into picture in our organization...
We all know that adding RAM increase the system performance..but upto a certain extent after that adding RAM starts affecting the system performance.I intend to know that point after which if I would increase the RAM my system performance will go down.
Currently I am using Dell Optiplex GX745 Desktop with Pentium D 3.40 GHz and 1GB RAM.

Going from 1 dimm per channel to two dimms per channel will result in a very slight performance decrease because the second dimm will require the memory controller to use slightly looser timings. IIRC all P4D systems are dual channel so that would be going from 2 dimms to 4. Going from 2 to 3 would result in a major hit since the with the nonsymetric memory you'd end up running in single channel mode.
The capacity of the dimms has no bearing on this, and if going from 2x512 = 1gb to 4x1024=4gb allows you to reduce/eliminate your swap file usage the gain from that will dwarf the hit from memory timings.

Hi,
I have this motherboard and an Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g onboard wireless card. However, it couldn't seem to be able to detect our home wireless internet signal? Anyone experience the same? TIA!

If it can't connect to an existing network, my guess would be that your motherboard's NIC
a) doesn't support your router's features
b) is misconfigured
c) does have the (latest) motherboard drivers loaded
d) is defective (entirely possible).
Without a lot more info regarding your router and NIC configuration, that's the best I can offer.

hai friends,
one of my friends (electronics guy) had the following doubt. since iam a software person, i could understand nothing out of it. and i thought that, this forum attracts the professionals, who can answer this question.
the reply would be more appreciable and helps him a lot in his career.
his mail is as follows.
We need to add three more instructions for a microprocessor i.e., I33 and I17 and I9 to the existing design. the instructions I33, I17 and I9 regquired 33, 17 and 9 CPU cycles to execute individually. For example, a 32-bit restoring division takes 32+1 cycles to produce the right result, this is the motivation behind I33. Our task is to add the instructions, I33, I17, I9 to the existing design. The new design shall handle multi-cycle controls and using ROM for storing the micro-program. The divider control signals can be "straw ones".

and the question is...

If you're asking about how to design hardware you're on the wrong board. I don't have a clue where you should be posting, but CP is a software development forum. This subforum is for issues with setting up hardware for deploying apps or for interfacing with hardware programmatically. You might see if the IC design software you're using has a support forum.

I see
but i have googled regarding the hardware design forums but in vain.
thank's for the reply.

Where's the "existing design"? The statement of the problem doesn't make any sense without the necessary background information. Anyway, this looks suspiciously like a homework problem. If you have a specific question you can ask it, but don't ask us to do your work for you.

This is certainly not a homework question,
but this came from one of my friends who is already working in a company.
please refer to my original post.

Hello guys.
I have a hard disk (40 gig) but now the problem is that it only shows 3 gigs of the space.How do I recover the remaining 37 gigs.I checked the partition and I cudnt see any.
Thank you in advance.

I have.All other hard drives work fine on my machine and Ive taken this to work.I hve it connected at work now as we speak.
I checked the partitions and even had it formatted, but still nothing shows up.
Anything else.Thanx in advance guys.

Delete all of the existing partitions and start over.

There was no partitions,but I did that anyways till it said not recognized and made another partition which is the same as the one I had initially.
Ive tried to recover using some software aswell but still nothing changes.
Ive tried formating the partition and rebooting and still nothing happens.

Some disk drives have jumpers to configure them for smaller sizes, to get around problems with compatibility with older systems. It might be possible to look up the drive model number on the manufacturer's website.
Having said that, I think there was a limit to 32GB but I don't recall one at 3GB. I think it's most likely that the drive is junk.
