  • Play Station 3 hard drive issues. Can't access safe mode.?

    So for a while now, the hard drive in my PS3 died. How do I know it died? Well when I'd turn the system on, it'd click & it'd say "appropriate storage not found". Typical. Also when trying to access safe mode, it'd say the same thing. Anyways, I bought a new hard drive for the system. (I have a PS3 Slim. Not Super Slim version.) I've seen various YouTube videos where those individuals just placed the new hard drive inside and it work like nothing ever happened. Well here's my situation. I did the same, but when I turned it on, it game me the same "appropriate storage not found". I tried going into safe mode and it gives me the same deal, "appropriate storage not found". Great, what do I do now? I tried researching a way to solve this issue but it seems like very few people have been in this situation. I've seen plenty of videos where people back up their stuff to an external hard drive and just put it all back together. Well geez how am I supposed to do that if my other on died! So any help will be appreciated from this point. Thanks to you all!

  • I want to become a single family house designer/architect.?

    To start off let me say that I live in California and am a Senior in High School. My ambition is to become a house designer. Design floor plans and exterior and interior of the building. I feel as if this is the career for me since I always loved building homes on a video game series called The Sims & I spend time thinking about what can I do to make my current house a lot better. Like upgrading doors, paint, light fixtures, appliances all that jazz. How funny right? I came to yahoo answers because I've contacted a local housing developer & tried to get some information from their designers but they never gave me actual information. I've spoken to their sales representatives at various model homes that they have and they'd all tell me to contact their main office, which I didn't and they weren't any help. Funny how their quote is "Service first, Quality always". I'm here because I'd like to know what kind of training or schooling would I need to at least get hired at a firm. I come from a middle class family and starting my own firm isn't an option. This is my dream and I'm sure someone in the United States has an answer for me! I know I think its L-Cadd or something like that training is required but sadly my school discontinued they program we had so I cannot take the course. So please if any one has any information I'll appreciate it very very much! Thanks!

    Do cities have the right to force a land owner to demolish a building on their property?

    So in Clovis California, there's a mansions that was build in 1922. A 92 year old historic building. The city is forcing owner Todd Wolfe to demolish the building. The mansion is a beautiful 8,000 square foot building and it is also believed to be a Mongolia model of the Sears and Roebuck homes from the 1920's. To add to that, the building is located near a main railroad. The home is called Wolfe Manor (previously know as The Andleberry Estate). Now I'm a concerned citizen and I really don't want to see this building go. Its architecture is brilliant and its floor plans match up to the Mongolia home. If you have an answer, please let me know. We can still save this place!

  • Computer graphics card issue.?

    So I basically need some closure. On my laptop the graphics card would start freezing while I'd be playing a game. Its a Nvidia GTX 260M. Yeah its told but I got to work with what I got. Anyways, I wouldn't think temperature would be an issue since Id keep the temperature range from 60-70 degrees celsius, which from my knowledge its not overheating. So we have the freezing, and now here's the best part. TuneUp Utilities 2014 was doing some maintenance thing on my laptop when I booted it and because I didn't want to wait an hour I force shut it down so it'll start fresh so I can skip it. Well guess what!? When I turned it on it wouldn't boot windows. I'd get a BSOD screen. As well as when I tried any form of safe mode. It was a BSOD restart. Darn, I had to factory restore my laptop. I did and it finally worked again but since my GPU isn't the original I had to install it last. So I used DOX Optimized Forceware from LaptopVideo2Go to install driver 195.62 which I had before and worked great till now. Once it installed, I rebooted, Windows loaded with GPU working then it froze. I disabled the GPU and my laptop works like normal. When its on, it freezes or doesn't load at all. When its off, my PC works like normal. Anyone know anything? If you do please let me know! Sorry for the long story.

    PC Specs:

    Asus G50VT

    Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit

    Intel Centrino 2

    4GB Ram

    Nvidia GTX 260M.

    The card has worked with that drives for about 3 years up until now. So yeah!

  • My hearing has a bit of a problem. Please answer if you can!?

    Let me start off by stating the I'm a 16 year old male. Recently I was fighting the flu that seems to be spreading in my city in California. Around a week and a half of having the flu, I woke up in the morning and my left ear ached and it felt like there was something stuffy in there. I informed my mother and she said it was a ear infection, so we used a home remedy of warming up garlic, placing it in a cotton ball and placing it in my ear. It worked, the ache went away but me ear kept feeling stuffy, clogged up. When I told her this she told me to take penicillin, which I did and it seemed to have worked since my ear does not feel clogged up. But here's the problem. On my left ear where the infection was, the sound pitches are flat. They're lower pitched and when it comes listening to music or what ever the case may be, it sounds disgusting. If I cover the left ear, allowing no sound to enter, everything sounds normal, thanks to my right ear. If I cover my right ear, the left sounds lower pitched and flat, which is extremely irritating! This may not be major, but its a problem that I wish to be solved. If you know anything or have any recommendations please let me know! Thanks for your time, and enjoy your Holidays!

  • Laptop or Desktop? (Gaming PC)?

    So I'm planning to upgrade to a new computer cause the one I have is already 4 years old. But I'm debating wether I should get another Laptop or a Desktop. You see, my laptop is a Asus G50v. It was a really awesome PC. After about 2 years of use the video card burned out because the thermal paste baked and was useless. Luckily I was able to upgrade the card (GTX260M) because if the way it was designed and I can easily reapply new paste if I need to. Now I was thinking about getting the Asus G75 but the thing is, getting to the GPU requires to dissemble the ENTIRE laptop. Which I don't want to have to do. So which so I go? Another laptop or get a gaming desktop? Thanks for your time!
