    Been hit... with something!

    I had a party here a few weeks ago and my computer was open for use. In other words I left it on so people could use it if they liked. Proved to be a hit because most party-goers spent the night on Youtube with Gangnam style. Anyway, I dunno what's happened and I think some noob got spyware on my computer!
    There's this thing which keep highlighting stuff and popping up. It's called savings sidekick?
    I cant get rid of it for some reason, will i have to reinstall windows now?

    thanks.

          I'm trying spybot S&D now. I'll see what happens after a scan.

                  It was a brand spanking new Acer all-in-one Core i5 PC as well! Well at least the touchscreen got great attention that night.

                                      Help Identifying ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Board Components
                                      by kujoswrath
                                      Hi Everyone, hopefully somebody can help me.

                                      I have acquired an ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 with a faulty 10GE port. It's locked at 100Mbps. A component on the board went pop but I'm not sure what it is. If anybody has a schematic or knows what the component is I'd be extremely grateful.

                                      I have attached pictures highlighting the thing that went pop.

                                      Any help is appreciated. Nothing else around it looks damaged and a quick check with my multimeter seems to confirm this. I tried taking one of its brothers off and measuring it but, when I tried to grab it with...

                                      Fader replacement on 1980s mixer - help with this schematic
                                      by Transformer man
                                      Hi - I am looking to replace faders on a mixing desk from the early 1980s. They are tired and worn. I'm new at looking at schematics and would really appreciate your help and expertise on replacements.

                                      The current faders are 88mm long with 60mm fader movement and are 10K B (which I think is a linear fader). They have been swapped out at some point (tell tale signs of additional screw holes a few mms below the top screw hole).

                                      I think the schematic suggests 5K B faders (but as a newbie I'm not sure if I am even looking at the correct part of the schematic!?). I have...

                                      by slp93transam
                                      Hello, I am looking to get some info on an issue I am having with a Sapphire R9 390 8gb. I will try and provide all the info I have gathered and what I believe you need to help diagnose this issue with me. Also, I have another exact same card in good working condition that I reference and can reference further if needed. The card previously worked great for years.

                                      I have checked the card and I didn't find any short circuits. The card powers on, lights and fans work but it is not detected by the motherboard. I have 12v, 5v, 3.2v and .97 on Pex rail. Also have 12v and 3.2v on pcie slot,...

                                      Suzuki Sidekick ECM fried due to Bad Caps!
                                      by g8r
                                      Well my 91 Sidekick is history. After 320,000 klicks a fried ECU was its downfall. Its in pretty good shape otherwise. I was able to temporarily bypass the an affected circuit but the corrosion eventually was terminal. I took the ECU out and inspected it. There were 2 Rubycon caps. One looks like it exploded or at the very least shorted as there was black sooty stuff around it. I cleaned it up and replaced the caps but the car still wont start. A replacement board costs $450. That pisses me off. A PC board costs a $100 or even less. I cant see any other visible sign of damage. If I knew for sure...

                                      by jimg1948
                                      I have a Samsung PN50C450B1D that would not power up. The LED on logic board blinked 5 seconds on and 2 off. This indicates that the problem is on YSUS or XSUS board. Y Buffer board tested fine. Ordered used YSUS(LJ92-01728C) and Y Buffer Board(LJ92-01729A). Installed both and TV works fine. While waiting for boards, I started to diagnose the problem on YSUS board. I would like to fix and keep as a spare in case the board I bought craps out. IGBTs and power diodes all seem to check out fine. While probing resistances on the board I found a low resistance (4 Ohms) between pins 4(VCC) and 6(Float...
