I have this Radioshack speakers (specifically this one) that had this irritating potentiometer issue, where the left speaker would be lower than the right one. Placing a heavy book or object on the volume control equalizes the volume, showing that this is a pot issue. I then checked inside for...

Long story short, someone I know sold me an AMD Radeon HD9770 for cheap, dropped it in my desktop, mined bitcoins with it (200MH/s via deepbit) and then played a game with it. Not really interested at all on PC gaming but I'd like to encode video on it. So, how exactly do you encode video with...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/06/how- ... or-for-33/ Engadget just outed an eBay seller that sells custom controller boards for around $33. From what I checked you can have VGA and DVI boards, or VGA and S-video and composite boards. Or another with an Analog TV tuner and some inputs. Works...

Just a few minutes ago, I heard a very very extremely high pitched whistling sound that seemed to just drill into my skull. It wasn't very audible or loud, but sure it was annoying as Heck. First, I checked the alarms for Monoxide and the Smoke alarm. Nothing. Then I checked the air filters, my...

Just curious, a few days ago I spotted a blue regular 360, painted blue with some yellow (I think). It has two windows cut on the side, one showing the DVD drive (rectangle shape) and one showing the motherboard/heatsinks in a batman shape. I spotted it on a store, up for sale. $250 with...

So, what if you only had $299 to build a PC for games, and the graphical capabilities of this $299 gaming PC has to meet or exceed the graphical capabilities of the PS3 in visuals, framerate and resolution? What if also an operating system, case, CD/DVD drive and Keyboard and Mouse must be also...

No, I didn't broke it, my sister broke it. My Kodak Easyshare C330. She won't fess up on how she broke it, so I don't have a lead. Anyway, the camera: She returned it to me, the lens are fully extended, screen pitch black, won't respond to dial rotations or keypresses, memory card corrupted...

I have a Toshiba laptop which has a dial on it's front, just below the trackpad. Problem is, when I mute the device, any touching of the dial unmutes it. This is undesired when I want it muted and it's resting on my lap in a moving car as it gets unmuted when the dial brushes on my lap. Any way...

Is it me or is my PSP-1000 dimmer than ever before? At full beam I can barely play outdoors now. Is it possible to make the brightness go up?

The battery in review is on the right, on top of Spyro 3. Seeking a new battery to replace my worn out one and to replace my 5-cell monstrosity, I trodded on one of these cheapie batteries on eBay. Seeing it is 3600mAh and I was 65% sure the battery's actual capacity was less than that, I bit...

When I started the PSP-1000 that I fixed in the toaster today, the L trigger was acting as if it's always held down, as if the button is shorted somewhat. The trigger itself was moving normally and freely. So I popped it open at home, reseated the button, cleaned the sensors and connectors and...

(Now, let me try this new writing style.) -------------- Kid forgets PSP in Jacket. Jacket goes to washing machine. Washing machine washes Jacket and PSP. PSP will turn on for 1 second and power off. Angry kid drops PSP 4 feet high. I obtain PSP 1000 from him. I wash motherboard with soft...

Stupid question: The light inside the oven is starting to go and I wonder if it would be alright if I replace it with a CFL. I'm concerned about the plastic and lead melting and/or the mercury inside the CFL getting on the food which we put in our mouth.

Last night, when I was playing Warhawk, the speakers suddenly generated "white noise." I had to mute the speakers to stop the really loud white noise then I wrapped up the game. When I quit the game and dropped back to XMB, the keysound ("clicking" sound when you move around the XMB) is...

Is it possible to repack a laptop or PSP Li-ion battery with Li-Poly?

So as you might see, Dells have propriety charging plugs. Instead of an outer ring (negative) and an inner hole (positive), the Dell connector has an outer ring (negative), Inner ring (positive) and a really really thin center pin (???). I need to know what the center pin does. The original...

My mission: Convert 50+hours of 720x480 MPEG video to DivX or any container that is high quality (Xvid, H264) My gear? A piece of crap 1.8GHz AMD Semperon with 1GB of RAM. :wtf: Well, if there is a free, fast and reliable video converter that harnesses the PS3's power through the OtherOS...

Ok, so I have a PSP 1001 that won't read memsticks. It would just blink the access light in a specific freq. like 2hz. This has happened before, so I opened it up. I was surprised. By some sort of mistake I did, I smashed two pins. So I tried to straighten it out. It snapped. Uh-Oh. Then I tried...
