I need to get my Seagate HDD replaced, it is still under warranty (although I don't have the bill). I'm based in Bangalore, so if someone can tell me the process for initiating replacement (RMA) that would be great.

 

Issue with the HDD is that 3rd party Windows based diagnostics have shown bad sectors. And in general, the HDD seek times are slow as can be. Last I checked, Seatools (DOS) did not show any errors though.

Guys, so this is my set-up. I have a laptop connected to a television with an HDMI cable. It plays sound on youtube clips and for skype conversations through the sound system on the laptop. When I try to play a DVD or music stored on the computer, it will not play sound. I've tried connecting a separate sound cable, but that does nothing.

 

Can anyone walk me through what I need to do to get the sound coming through the TV?

 

Thanks!

Problem may be in your board, psu, pcie card or may be in your cabling it may be anything. its hard to say from here. you have to search the problem from the scratch. few months back i had somewhat same but strange kind of problem after spending hours of research found out that the culprit was my 9800gtx.

 

 

Dnt worry...this happened with me previous year...There may be two problems:

1.There is a problem of the monitor connecting chord pin to the gpu port...

Sol:try to reconnect it tight(may have loose connection...

 

2.If that does not work as in my case i took it to the repair guy who applied some kind of "isotope solution" to clean up the motherboard and some god knows what part..charged me 500bucks :furious: (told a 50ml or some bottle costs 3.5k)..nyway then it worked fine...

See what happens..

 

Thanks for the input guys, tried all things possible by me but it did not start, so fillaly have decided to call the (s)expert. Let's see what happens, everything is under warrenty so that is not a problem, just getting paranoid that it stoped working in just 6 months of getting it.

try using a different battery for the BIOS and exchange the Ram slots.

 

it should work I guess

Hi Guys...i wanted to get a UPS for my PC as i get frequent power cuts which last for like 5 odd minutes usually.

 

My PSU is 600w...and have a 21 inch LCD monitor. Could you guys suggest some good tested\used brands and model no.s if any which can give me backup for 10-15 mins atleast.

 

 

Thanks in advance...

Nope, the PSU has CX 500, but the model details has CX500 V2. The V2 model is 80+ certified, and earlier CX500 was not.

humm, have to check the box,

how is yours working?, given you any problem?, when did you get it?

 

I am actually quite dissapointed with corsair, i thaught it was a good brand, I chosec it over many other brands. but it gave on me in just 6 months. sure I gave it some heavy use like keeping the pc running all night, but it should have handeled that. Yeah the warrenty is still there but still it is a chore to go and get it replaced. :(

Mine is around 3 weeks old. The CX500 without version 2 is not good, the V2 one was 80+ certified and can handle loads with ease. Corsair is still a good brand, just buy the 80+ certified ones.

 

oh, I did not know that, now I hope that they replace mine with a v2 one :devil: , also what is the difftence between their cx and vx series??

Just go to the website : http://www.corsair.com/support/technicalsupport/ and submit an RMA request.The VX 450w/550w is a discontinued enthusiast series of PSU with specs similar to the TX series.It offers upto 85% efficiency.

 

I was thinking about going to Kaizen Info Service, if I am correct, they handel the corsair rma in India.
