iPOD Trouble

A friend gave me a iPOD 30GB telling it was constantly restarting. When i got the iPOD the battery was very low. So i hoped that the iPOD will be fine after a charge. But when i connected it to PC for charge. The iPOD displays Very low battery please wait then goes to boot screen, then restarts due to lack of battery. Problem is At very low battery screen it charges a bit then it thinks it can boot so it tries to boot, While booting it can't charge itself, so battery very low and it switches off. So this software bug in Apple iPOD looked just to kill the iPOD. So what to do...?? Google is your friend... Searched, and found some solutions at Apple forums. The one worked for me is putting the iPOD to disc mode where it can charge... But the problem was the very low battery won't even let it to enter disc mode... So the solution, Connect the charger wait till iPOD tries to reboot, when you see apple logo press select and menu buttons together, iPOD restarts. Did this a few times

PC Not Coming Out of Sleep

Ya It all happened yesterday. Just put my PC to sleep so as i save some power as i had my dinner. After having my dinner i come back and press the power button The PC is not coming to life. The fans run for a few seconds then stops. No beeps nothing. :S tried a Few times Same result. Pulled the power off a Reboot and the same fan running for 3-5 sec and it turns off. Is it RAM causing the trouble...?? No idea.. So removed the RAM. Started PC but same Fan runs for a mere 3-5 sec and OFF. Then removed the CMOS Battery set the jumper to clear CTC RAM. Still the same problem. Next doubts on load handling of SMPS. So checked is it working by shorting Green and Black... The SMPS just works fine... Removed all the cables just Power to Motherboard and the same is happening. Thought SMPS is gone. got a friends SMPS and checked... Result is the same. It powers up Fans run for 3-5 sec. No beeps and it just turns off. Now just prayed to god that Let the processor die cos it hast 3 year warranty an

Computer Format Day

After all that software installations and un-installations my comp was giving a lot of trouble. The sound driver will be corrupt every time you launch the browser ans watch video no matter how many times you uninstall and install the driver. Boot up times of more than 2 min. Overall my system was a Mess..... The biggest problem i faced was HDD space, There were 6 partitions initially on my 160 GB HDD Now there are just 3. Now One partition is a 94GB huge partition for All the downloads. My old and faithful 40GB HDD has one 25 GB partition now and on remaining 12.xxGB i have installed Linux. *According to manufactureres 1KB=1000B So your 40GB will come down to 37.xx. Making all the data backup was a big pain. After backing up all the data installed Windows XP SP3. After completing the installation, I pop-in the Driver CD which came with my Motherboard which is somehow corrupted and rejected to work. Get the drivers from Internet.... But how...?? LAN is not installed. WTF.. Tried everyth
