A fuse is designed to make sure that an overload does not occur within the actual circuit design from a certain direction. It does not protect the entire circuit, but from the input. Static electricity does its damage by introducing current outside of how the circuit was designed. So having a fuse somewhere does not really help in that situation. Now having a storage with easily replaceable PCB components would go a long way towards that. If you pop that part then you can just replace that diode or resistor. The reason it is not easy now is mostly due to size of the components. A long time ago I read about optical circuits, but it seems that it would be too expensive to replace traditional electronics to see it any time soon.

The first website I could think of for purchasing capacitors is mouser.com. I had used an intermediary to buy replacement caps from there when I got a free monitor that didn't work. Also, reusing capacitors is not usually a good idea unless you test them first. Most techs do not even test caps due to new ones being cheap and easy to replace.

Make Static Website available to internet

The DNS Server role is to provide name services to the computers within your internal network. It does nothing for the outside world.- 14 replies

Without paying (just having an account) I think you only have access to the trials.

Unable to post a reply, quote, etc on a thread
Tripredacus replied to jakeypearce's topic in Site & Forum Issues
We need some more specific info. Does it not show up? Can you not click in it? Can't type? Post button doesn't work? Can you click the mode toggle? There was a point in the past where some browsers/versions couldn't use both modes of the quick reply box. Others report things like inability to paste, use context menu, or word wrap doesn't work. -

Tripredacus replied to jakeypearce's topic in Site & Forum Issues
Are you referring to the quick reply box that shows up below the thread? If you are using any script blockers, make sure to allow ajax.googleapis.com. Also the quick reply box has 2 modes. WYSIWYG or manual mode. You can toggle between the two modes by pushing the button in the upper left corner of the reply box GUI. A screenshot of what you see would be helpful if that doesn't help. -
I can think of at least 1. No it isn't me.

Don't get used to it, it will probably change soon.

Make Static Website available to internet
Tripredacus replied to urgenthelpneeded's topic in Windows Server
You should still be able to connect to your site externally when you have dynamic IP. If you don't choose to purchase a plan with your ISP for a Static IP, you'll need something like Dynamic DNS to be able to assign a domain name to it. You also are going to need to allow connection to your website through the Windows firewall. When testing locally, you can tell that this is a problem because the localhost path will work but the IP address won't. In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, under Inbound rules, allow the two World Wide Web Services options on your specific connection profile, or if unknown set it for all types.- 14 replies

I was looking at this again and found some interesting things. My original idea that a square image being required seems to not be correct. I found a curious thing. On 16:9 displays the vertical resolution of the winpe.jpg is (approx) 270px. I used an image with shapes to determine this size. Then I checked with the cat image from above, and yep 270px again. I'm eyeballing what is actually displayed vs the original image with a marquee tool. So I have 2 different source images, with one having multiple resizes, that are showing the same height. It would also appear that either the horizontal doesn't matter, or that if the horizontal is less than x size then it will stretch. If you look at the 2 images above, I did 2 tests. Legacy boot on 16:9 display UEFI boot on 4:3 display The 4:3 you can see more on the vertical, closer to 290px. WinPE's winpe.jpg seems to fit nicely in 480x270, which is also the resolution of the Sony PSP.

Programs simultaneously dropping Vista/XP support
Tripredacus replied to WinClient5270's topic in Windows Vista
These two posts split from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/175077-in-place-upgrade-to-windows-7-home-premium/ In the future, don't OT post in a help topic and don't argue amongst each other about it. Ask a moderator to split the posts out into a new thread. The bickering posts in that other thread have been hidden. -
Windows updates fail installation then uninstall all updates.
Tripredacus replied to MarkJohnson's topic in Windows 7
Are you sure? I am pretty sure that the client shows them in alphabetical order based on the update name. -
Another reason why the IoT may not be that good an idea ...

New signature: Text in signature are actual strings from the Office 2016 setup executable! I was looking in that exe for install switches and happened upon them. I arranged them in order but I left some out. The top one (Click-to-Run) is enough to denote it from being from Office. You can see these for yourself as someone did a Malwr analysis of the exe. Go to Static Analysis, Strings to see them if you are skeptical. https://malwr.com/analysis/MTUwN2I5MDc1MjhiNDYyNWI4N2U2YmU1Yzk0YjU2YjM/ Top layer is modified from the image used here: http://siliconangle.com/blog/2015/03/06/what-office-2016-for-mac-says-about-nadellas-new-microsoft/ actual image http://siliconangle.com/files/2015/01/Microsoft-CEO-Satya-Nadella-Windows-10-Press-Briefing-1080x675.png Made the monitor wider and cleaned out what was on the screen. 1 layer, 13 objects.

These files should always be the same size. OEMBIOS.BI_ OEMBIOS.CA_ OEMBIOS.DA_ OEMBIOS.SI_ They would exist on both an OEM provided recovery CD or on an OEM System Builder CD. On System Builder CD, these files will have the same date as the other files, on an OEM Recovery CD, these files have a newer date. OEM provided will have a custom label and include their company name and/or logo. System Builder CD is Microsoft branded hologram disc and will have a MS part number. For example. Win XP Pro SP2 v2002 has PN X10-59871. Be careful as "OEM" is a catch-all term that people use and can refer to either of these disc types.

Is this the same as the other thread, where your video driver crashed/stopped responding/didn't recover in time? I have had this problem before but not XP. You may try to update your video driver to see if it does anything.

It sounds like you just need to remove that shortcut from the Startup folder. If you boot your PC using a boot media like a Win7 setup DVD, other WinPE, Linux live-cd, DOS with NTFS (if you are using that) support, etc you should be able to delete that shortcut.

The OS that Dell installed to your PC does not use the product key from the COA. This is the reason why MS had removed the Product Key from Direct COAs starting with Windows 8. So its ok to take note of it, but you will probably use the product keys you found in the OS.

Windows updates fail installation then uninstall all updates.
Tripredacus replied to MarkJohnson's topic in Windows 7
If starting from a fresh install, I always will take updates in smaller batches, rather than trying to install everything it finds all at once. -

Zipped important files and now Winzip won't unzip them
Tripredacus replied to PeterRussell's topic in Software Hangout
Yeah, the "youtube" link did go to an actual video, which seemed fine by itself. There was only 1 comment, one that went to one of those paid file repair programs. -
