Re: Minimum CPU requirement for software DVD decoding
The video chip and its driver really suck. Later versions of the driver cause poor sound quality when anything on the screen moves. However, only the latest driver allows the computer to resume from standby properly.
Gateway's support page says that the dongle (the manufacturer calls it a dangle
) is only needed if you want to play DVDs on a TV. I will still look for it and the software.
I have already removed the thermal pad.
I was trying to make it run cooler (the fan wouldn't stop running once it started), and I thought that replacing the pad with Arctic Silver would help.
It requires at least a 0.5mm (possibly 1mm) thick pad, and I can only find thick enough pads in huge sheets. This is the smallest sheet I have found that is thick enough. None of the computer stores list the thickness of the pads they sell. Most of the pads I have seen are about the thickness of paper.
I don't want a computer that can only play DVDs. Both of these computers are used for almost everything. They are too old to handle modern games and HD video, but they work fine for everything else. The Gateway is the best laptop I have. My other laptop has so many problems that it would be cheaper to replace it than to repair it.Comment

Re: Minimum CPU requirement for software DVD decoding
This might work, but I don't want to buy it from eBay.
I wonder if one of the local computer stores (Computer Renaissance in Fort Collins or PCs & Parts in Loveland) would sell those. I need a replacement optical drive for my old Compaq and a keyboard for my parents' computer as well. If I don't see thermal pads at one of those stores, I'll buy one online.Comment

Recently I got some DVDs that won't play on my PC drive. This is not unexpected, since there is a warning on the back of each package. But they play just fine on my set-top DVD player hooked up to the HDMI port on my TV set.
I bought "Head of the Class" where Howard Hesseman [WKRP in Cincinnati] teaches a class of extra-smart students. I also bought "Ode to Billy Joe", a 1976 movie.
All of these appear to be released by Warner Brothers. Rumor has it DVDs from several movie studios have a root directory that contains extra entries of non-existent files... -
Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in... -
Hello, i have Q5WVH LA-7912P Rev 1.0 motherboard on my old PC. I accidently broke the touchpad things when replacing the back and up case. After doing that my motherboard going to blinking orange light on LED2. When I properly seat that touchpad thing, it occasionally boots. I think the problem is because of this. I don't have a soldering iron, so I can't solder it there. Since I'm going to use the computer as a server, I don't need a touchpad. I'm also leaving a photo for better understanding. I need to short-circuit it and make it work all the time. Which pins is for short-circuit? Thank you.... -
Hello,
I post this in this section for a Dell Inspiron 3477 All in one as the motherboard is more close to a laptop one.
So, the issue is that whatever adapter I use, I get this screen when it starts up. I tried aftermarket adapters and original HP adapters, both 65W and 90W. Minimum requirement is 65W.
I don't have its authentic Dell adapter as I took it for free in case I manage to repair it, but the HP ones I think are pretty much identical.
First thing I checked is if the dc jack on the board has an issue but with the MM I see all three pins, ground, 19.5V and... -
Hello everyone,
I'm an owner of an Asus Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED TP3402 laptop (TP3402ZA-KN063WA)
with serial number: NBN0LP019584459
and I lost the BIOS password that I set in this laptop one year ago.
I tried to recover the password using the AMITSESetup method described on the forum. I found that it is possible by software to obtain the BIOS file from my computer (afuwin.rom), but when trying to do so in AFUWINGUIx64 I received the error number 31 "Unable to read contents from specified file" shown in the attachment. I don't have a programmer,...
