  • Samsung RF511 and RV511 models?

    I need to change the keyboard. But any store nearby sells only keyboard for RV511. I have RF511 model.

    I was wondering, what is the difference ? They look the same. But could I get RV511 and put in my RF ?

    Obviously it says in the store for "RV series" and when I look up on eby it says "for RF series". Only thing Im wondering - wether they differ at all.

  • How to get stock ROM on LG G4?

    Hey,

    It happened that I bought used LG G4 with cyanoganmod 14.1 installed on it.

    I hate all these custom roms and prefer stuff to be original.... Bugs and not working features piss me off..

    (If youre unfamiliar with a phone or this rom, it`s impossible to tell if it is or isn`t stock).. And who would have thought I had to check out settings about software...

    Would it be hard to get back to stock rom ? Should I take it to technician ?

    Well, I COULD live with this.. but video recording doesn`t work. Maybe someone knows a fix for that ?

  • Schematics of any technological product?

    Hey, I hope I`m using the correct words. It`s a bit hard translating word to word and trying to keep the meaning of sentences.

    I have course in uni about automation. (or automatization - in english I understand they mean the same thing)

    So I have an assignment. I have to write about some kind of product or process that is automated. It has to be around 20 pages. I have to include schematics of how this product works (technological schematics - translated word to word how its asked)

    And as I understand - Schematics how the automatization is achieved.

    Basically - not to get into much detail - I need to find all schematics I can on some product.

    I was thinking DSLR cameras. But I can`t really find anything.

    Is there any site or some correct term I have to search for the schematics ?

    This far I havent found anything. Some electrical schemes and stuff like that. But nothing that would be enough to understand how a product works.. What Im concerd about - wether manufacturers publicise this kind of information.

  • Car stereo doesnt recognise SD card?

    I have aftermarket stereo in my car, and it has SD card slot also. I formated it to FAT32, put songs in folders, but when I put the card in, it says that it can`t read it. What could be the problem ?

    I also have USB slot and it works fine like that (FAT and folders are as albums).

    I`m having problem with USB - the songs get distorted after some time listening. They start twitching and the song is ruined (the file itself). (Thats why I wanted to put SD card in, I have bunch laying around as I`m photographer). I played the song through pc and it was ruined itself. I have to put all the songs in again and then it works for some time. While at that - what could be the problem ? usb stick is cheap one. 16 gigs for 6 euros if I remember correctly. Could it be because of that ? Or my stereo is messing the files up ?

  • The clutch pedal sticks down and doesnt come up?

    I have Honda Accord CG4 coupe 2000.

    Now and then (when the clutch is pressed repedeatly, mostly in city driving) the clutch pedal sticks to the floor, clutch engages and the car stalls (or I grind gears if it sticks down while shifting). After pulling the clutch back again, repressing it a time or two, it works fine again.

    The fluid isn`t disappearing.

    Is my master dying ? Or maybe I simply have air in the system ? Could this be fixed by bleeding the clutch ?

  • Hondas H22A engine burning excessive oil?

    Engine overheated and now it`s burning oil. I know it`s because of overheating. But can`t really come up with what could be the problems.

    I`m probably going to take off the head and take it to shop for measuring if it`s twisted. And changing gaskets. But what else could be the problem ?

    Also, exhaust gasses are white. They`re not blue as in burning oil. But I think it does smell like burnt oil. Not really sure, but the smell is different (it actually started to smell when temperatures dropped below zero celsius outside). Haven`t driven it a lot because other problems I have to fix, but I think oil is being burnt more now when it`s cold outside.

    Could it be coming out through gaskets and getting on exhaust and the smell comes from that ?

    Any ideas will be appreciated :) Engine is H22A. 2.2 liter from prelude (BB5 or BB6 probably). It`s swapped in Accord CG4. Not that i matters :D But still.

    Honda Accord Coupe 2000 headlights?

    Hey, my low beam burnt out. Took it out to change it, went to the store, but they couldn`t find such bulb in any database they had.

    It has written on it - B7 and the code of it. Under it I noticed written "not for use in europe/USA" .. that kind of stunned me because the car has been in my country (estern europe) for almost ten years. I`m the second owner in my country. Before that it came from France.

    Not really sure where the previous owner got the bulb. Do I really have to send it on internet ? And I understand these kind of lights get kind of expensive.. Has anyone had dealt with these ? How long do they last, how expensive they are and where to get them ?

    Also, just a thought - if I had regular bulb (with the same wattage) (the ones that cost around 5 euros and go in every effin car made) with custom made fitment to fit in headlights, could I connect them to the old connectors (rewiring them) and would they work ? Would the refflector work the same with different bulbs and would the connectors work ? Just thinking - maybe I could get around buying 20 euro bulbs, by tinkering a bit

    looks something like in the picture (not my picture)

  • PC shutting down when gaming?

    Hey guys,

    I`m having a bit of a problem with my computer. In several games, when playing for several minutes the computer shuts off. It`s not rebooting and doesnt crash. It shuts off like it would be powered off. After that it can be turned on instantly.

    I`m ruling out overheating - temperatures for cpu stays around 70 degress celsius. And gpu had even lower temperature. Also I can play other games no problem. (several months ago I finished GTA V and had no problems whatsoever) Also my roommate played dying light several times (it doesnt run smoothly on my pc and even lags at times, but didnt shut down a single time)

    After reading forum posts i`m starting to worry my psu could be at fault here. I have Corsair VS 650 (if im not mistaken, it`s an old model). As the PC has worked almost a year now without problems, i`m ruling out also that I need bigger PSU. 650 is just enough..

    But I checked with HWMonitor the readings and when playing it showed that at +12V line the value dropped to 11.2V (but regularlyit was around 11.6) . Some people also said that you have to change psu if it drops belove 11.6. Could this be the problem? And what could have made that happen ?

    Also I have a warranty for it. Is this legit reason to go and return it ?

  • Changing cars gearbox from automatic to manual?

    Hey,

    So the car in question is Honda Accord coupe . (98-01) .. with 3.0 engine. It comes with automatic gearbox only.

    Its definitely a car that I would love to buy sometime for a project. But i`m not really very fond of automatics. I do enjoy them occasionally in a newer car. But 3 liter V-tec in such a car - just not really something id like..

    So the question is, roughly, how much is needed to be changed ? And how can I find if any gearboxes fit this particular engine ? What should I look at ? Find some codes for engine and gearbox ? And does it even matter ? Has anyone really made any compatibility charts about this ?

    I understand its hard work and its costly. I would prefer if you kept these mindblowingly obvious facts to yourselfs, because its not really the question in hand ;) What I want to know, if it`s possible or should I scratch this idea alltogether ?

    Thanks in advance

  • Starting the engine without clutch and/or waiting for glowplug?

    Hey, I`ve been wondering for some time..

    Firstly about the glowplug - in the driving courses to get my license I remember my instructor saying to ALWAYS wait for the glowplug to heat up.. like you would die if you wouldn`t wait...

    But in real life situations I`ve met many people who say that it`s not that necessary and they don`t wait ever.. And the engine starts up nicely with first crank...

    Then there are some who are against strongly against it ( I suppous because of the way driving schools teach) .. So how is it really ? Does it really do any demage to the engine beside, on occasion, doesn`t start the engine?!

    Secondly - the clutch .. Again, driving schools stress this a lot that you disengage your clutch before starting the engine .. So many people are now like obsessed with this ...

    But isn`t that so clueless (and to be honest- stupid) people simply dont start the car while still in the gear ?

  • Problem with wireless keyboard?

    I just bought myself a new computer .. But I didnt get a keyboard and mouse because I already have some left over from when my laptops keyboard broke down ..

    As far as mouse, everything works perfectly .. (it`s with wire)

    But when I start to use keyboard, somethings not working properly .. It connects to computer, works for a bit and then stops working.. after several seconds it works again .. maybe for a socend and it can stop working again .. But it doesnt disconnect from the computer ..

    It`s like the keyboard connection to the adapter is laggy .. But it works fine on my laptop .. it works all the time without lags . As my mouse is working properly all the time, I assume usb ports are working .. But who knows ..

    Anyone has any idea ? Maybe some drivers are missing (Driver Checker at least tells me I have all of the drivers).. And it`s not the keyboards fault also I assume, because it works on my laptop well ..

    I connected another keyboard through ps2 port .. but I cant keep this keyboard .. So I`d like to get this keyboard working ..

    The model is somekind of RAPOO .. It shows "2.4G wireless" something, something .. dont know the exact model ..

  • Honda Accord EX?

    Hey, i`m browsing some cars that I could buy in near future ..

    And i`ve come across one of these .. Honda Accord EX V6 3.0 vtec coupe .. or whatever i`ts called ..

    It`s 1999.. costs just under 1000eur but has a something around 90k miles on it .. Thats probably bull.. For that price I would expect more than 200k miles ..

    What is the chance I can get the real mileage at some car service? Can someone who reduces the odometer reading delete it from the computer also ?

    Also, it has a automatic gearbox (hate those), but as I understand for the 3.0 there is no manual gearbox .. So would it be possible to change the gearbox for manual, from, for example, newer gen Accord ?

    I understand there`s a lot of work to be done for that, I don`t need everyone getting over emotional about that .. What I want to know is, if thats possible ? Would it even fit on that engine ?

    PS. the gearbox has some kind of issue.. It slips from first to second gear .. So that would only make sense to change it ..(besides fixing it of course)

    I checked out the prices of manual gearboxes.. they vary between 50 - 300 euros .. Not that bad .. I would need clutch and all sorts of stuff (pedals, linkages and stuff) .. But doesn`t seem that crazy in price

    As i`m studying engineering I don`t have anything against working on the car so this would be more like a project car for me .. (On a strict budget and strictly for fun) ..

  • $_session variable?

    Hey,

    I`m building a website ..

    Ånd I have to show combobox.. when user is admin, it has to show different options..

    So I check that with - if(!$_SESSION['isAdmin']): - then it shows options that are for normal user

    And I have row in my table called "isAdmin" and by default it is NULL.. For admins I suppous I just write what I want, and it should anyway do anything thats written after else

    I have start session in the beginning of page and script that connects to database, and login panel in every page.. So I log in with my account that has "isAdmin" filled in (with value - Y) .. So, when I check if(!$_SESSION['isAdmin']):, it should return false and do what`s after else ..

    But it doesn`t.. I tryed to echo the variable.. But it shows nothing, as it was empty string..

    What do I have to add to the script ? In other pages i`ve used this for checking if user is logged in, and it works...

  • building custom pc for gaming?

    Hey all,

    Budget would be around 500-600 (more like guidelines.. so no need to oversweat about it, but would be great to not exceed it)

    For now I have put in my basket intel core i5 4460 3.2ghz .. around 190 eur. and graphics card MSI GF GTX960 2GB - for 205 eur .. (already 400eur.. so looks not so promising to stay in 600eur margin, but could be possible to try ?)

    Maybe i`m going over the board with these two ? In computers i`m not really that smart.. So any suggestions would be appreciated

    I looked that gtx960 would be good performer with games, so I was interested in staying with that.. But how about the processor .. is the intel i5 that good to pay more then for AMD processors ?

    And about the motherboard - Can a 100-150 eur motherboard be good performer with that i5 and gtx960 ? if yes, which one would you prefare?

    When looking at full price after all the components it`s going towards 700 already, and i`m not quit sure if i`m willing to pay that much .. Any cheaper alternatives that don`t secrifice performance that much ?

    I would be happy if I could run gta 5 decently (of course to run it great would be awesome) but i`m being modest.. At least when I checked it at - http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=13... - with this processor and graphics card it said it would run on high ..

    As a noob in all this I would appreceate any help :D thanks ;)

  • Nikon D7000 w/ nikkor 50mm 1.8g?

    Hey, I bought this lens just yesterday. And had a little testing around the house..

    First things first - I get that it doesn`t have the VR, so the images could get blurry if shutter speed is too slow, and that at wide aparture focus has to be spot on where you want it to be to really look great

    But, what I noticed is, To get a good pic in low light I had to crank up ISO .. and a lot.. to around 3000 ..

    With my kit lense I would have had the picture so grainy it would be really bad.. But on this one everything still is quit sharp and not a lot of noticable noise..

    I had my camera set on shutter prioraty, and set around 1/125.. And the aperture was bouncing around 2 - 5.6 .. The question I have - Can a quality of lense impact the noise in pictures ?

    Today, if it won`t rain like crazy, i`m gonna test it outside and see if everythings alright with focusing and taking pictures in normal light.. Becouse I read that D7000 tends to have focusing problems.. Sometimes it`s the camera itself.. other times it just needs to be calibrated (or what was it called)
