    Bigger alternator

    I thought the higher output alternators are able to put out higher amps at low rpm/idle because of smaller diameter pulleys?

    Diodes...

    You're welcome. The above illustration is of typical wiring for a set of auxiliary fog/driving lights. For your purposes, your low beams are wired as one circuit as in the diagram, and your high beams are wired as a separate circuit as in the diagram. Connect a diode to flow from high...

    Need system bios for an older gateway laptop

    Memory modules are not made alike. If you ever wonder why some are more expensive than others, even though they may have the same or even identical specs, it's what's on the chips, literally. Some have very advanced memory managers (actual code on processor chips) that handle tasks such as...

    Diodes...

    Hello Chief, If you're talking about connecting a diode from the high beam relay pin #87 (high-beam "hot" wire) to the low-beam relay's pin #85 (coil energizing wire), you'll just need to solder an 18 ga. length of wire to make up the distance you need. The thin band on the diode indicates the...

    Need help trying to get a log file out of a router

    Try this gentleman's Perl scripts (Perl Language is used to program modems, routers, etc.). The second script under "Programs for D-Link DI614+" named "get_log_full.pl" retrieves/parses the complete logfile: http://www.wgz.org/bwarden/hacks/perl/ You will still need to be able to log into...

    BASIC Router Security

    1. Immediately change "admin" password (use a foreign word, misspell it, upper/lower case, include numbers) 2. Make the SSID difficult to hack 2a. Then, disable SSID broadcast (wireless devices can still connect, but they will need to know the exact SSID) 3. Enable MAC authentication 4...

    Need help trying to get a log file out of a router

    Why do you need the MAC address of the router? Why do you need to retrieve the log file? If the router has been hacked, the safest thing to do is: -- disconnect the WAN cable (connection to your ISP) to the router -- reset the router to factory defaults -- connect a crossover cable from...

    Should my air conditioner compressor run like this?

    The compressor can also cycle on/off as in the video if you have your system set to "defrost" (front windshield icon) with the AC button in either On or Off positions.

    I may have found the cause of my dreaded codes

    Glad to hear you resolved it. Also, it's a resistor, not a diode. To confirm, it was the Dtech that caused the runaways?

    Hello Pepp, There are several Kingston SODIMM modules that match the specifications you indicated, here are just some: -- p/n M12864E40 -- p/n KVR533D2S4/1GBK -- p/n KTH-ZD8000A/1G -- p/n KTT533D2/1G One guy claimed another part number worked (it wasn't even a SODIMM). At least two...

    Need system bios for an older gateway laptop

    Hello Pepp, Sorry, no luck with the BIOS for XP although several hits with success using more expensive RAM modules. Try downloading (freeware) Belarc advisor to get an accurate picture of what's loaded on your PC (hardware, software, OS, BIOS, drivers, etc.). Some motherboards will...
