I hear you. But it has at least been educational so far.

New tubes are $50 + shipping. It used to happen much more quickly, like 5 - 15 minutes in to using the monitor. It took 3+ hours with the new inverter but that is only the first usage of the monitor. The time may well shorten. When I put the computer to sleep and then woke it up the monitor...

The thing just shut off again. Tried the flashlight and the image is there on the screen and I can interact with it. But there is no backlight. Did I get a bad replacement or do you think the AC Adaptor is the issue and fried another one. Because I used the old AC Adaptor because the cord is...

Yes it goes to sleep based on the PC settings. I think this was a quirk of this monitor when hooked up via DVI. But you'd think that pushing the power button would turn it off.

Nope not a new cable. But I did just get the replacement inverter board, installed it and put the monitor back together. It is working as I type. Hopefully if I leave it on it won't go blank again. But the power button still doesn't turn it off.

My guess is that on a drive this old the firmware or some portion of it was written to the drive itself and then uploaded to RAM on the controller on boot. Or it is just trying to read the master boot record to RAM and failing. I don't see any RAM chips on that controller board though, or any...

Thought I should mention this here as well. Before I started having the blank screen issues on the DVI connection, I was using the VGA connection and it went red. It was as if one of the colors in the control panel was turned to 0. I tried it on other computers and confirmed it was a problem...

What about a drill press thing. You know the ones where a drill is mounted with the drill bit pointed down and you use a lever to bring it down to cut a hole in whatever you have. You can probably change the bit to size. My concern is that the transparency would hold up under the force or...

And depending on the value of the data, there is always professional data recovery companies.

Since you already tried the controller swap. Have you tried the freezer trick? This is usually the only thing that works in the case of clicking because of a head crash. Once it is recognized you can use getdataback or similar.

Where can I buy a replacement 2001FP? I only find the reconditioned ones. Or ones listed as new from suppliers with few or low ratings. I'll hook the wires back up and try the flashlight thing. I think it is the power inverter which is turning off the backlights. But wouldn't that turn off...

Pictures are still uploading should finish in about 15 minutes.

I thought I would move the discussion regarding my 2001FP here instead of the U2410 thread. Anyway it was having a problem with just going blank, though the power light stayed green. Also it would not turn off. The power led stayed green as long as the computer was on. Once off it turned...

Nevermind, it shut off again.

I may have spoke to soon regarding the 2001FP. I had plugged the new AC Adaptor into the same plug that was coming from my UPS. When I plug it in with the new plug to a different outlet, it has been fine. Crossing my fingers that it continues to work for some time. But this has me questioning my...

Well the $20 for a new AC Adaptor for my Dell 2001FP was unsuccessful in solving my monitor shutting off problem. Looks like I'll be picking up the U2410... eventually. In other news, they came to fix my payne heat pump/air conditioning unit but apparently my check valve is not functioning...

You can go into amazon and deselect certain items for use in suggestions. I do that all the time for all the kid stuff I buy. Or for gifts for others. Just click on more recommendations, then the stuff I own link.

They hired two more employees. Unless this is a non-profit and the people are working for free, they probably cost the company way more than new decent machines and software licenses will cost. Compare that with the lost productivity with the slow as snails old computers and I can't understand...

I'll second that only title company personal were at my closings. Aside from the real estate agents and the buyer and seller.

Yes it isn't the cheap $50 a bottle stuff. The gas they use is like $300 a bottle. So there is the cost of the refrigerant (though I don't understand why they can't reuse the old stuff?). The cost to dispose of the old stuff. The time taken to drain and fill it. We found another guy through...

Yes it is a labor cost thing. They have to drain refrigerant and refill or something. We are getting another bid for the repair (but with a $90 fee just to look at it again). I think it is just under 4 years old based on manufactured date in serial number but we didn't own the house when it...

Compressor was shorted and is now dead. Going to cost me $1200 even though the part is under warranty. No new monitor for me.

Wonderful but my heat pump just went south, will wait to see how much that is going to cost me. I'm thinking I'll just try the $20 replacement power brick for my 2001FP.

I see this HP monitor is getting a lot of attention: HP ZR24w. Hardforum link But why?

Uda's looks pretty good. Do you know how I'd do that in the gimp? I think that was with my 18-55mm lens which has no filter on it.

How much have you put down already? Less than 20%? I think what he is doing is possibly illegal too. There are laws that say the Good faith estimate has to be given to you so far in advance and can only be off by so much. I guess you'll have to seek other funding and move back the date.

For someone who really wants to stay on verizon this is good news.

I setup a deal alert at slickdeals.net. I can wait a bit as I don't use the computer that often, like once a week. I have an old CRT hooked up right now. I think my 2001FP is having power issues. I might see what a new power brick costs.

I'm looking at getting this monitor too, now that my 2001FP is dying. Handruin, you still recommend it? Anybody else get one? Anybody know a price target I should shoot for? It is 539 with free shipping right now. Dell Link Flatpanels HD Review

Well I got the DVI card in but it was the top part (where the screw goes) that was the problem. Bend was too low. So I bent it to make it fit but now it isn't secured very well. It works. Unfortunately the monitor is not. Worked for a few weeks on the DVI port, now it is shutting off every...

I took some pictures and they came out with like a white haze over them. I have the raw NEF file. I couldn't seem to figure out how to fix it in Nikon's ViewNX. Maybe I can't. What causes this? Was the sun shining in the lens? Is this what those lens covers are for?

Newegg has the 60GB vertex turbo for 170 after rebate (190 before) which is 2.83$/GB. Is this a good deal? I haven't been following the prices too closely. The 120GB is 320 after rebate (350 before) which is 2.67$/GB.

bugmenot won't work in this case?

I went to see Panasonic's 3D TV display and to enter the drawing. www.panasonic.com/future They could have mentioned where in the king of prussia mall they were at. It is huge and took us a while to find it. 3D TV was cool but you needed the glasses. 3D gaming (car racing) was cooler. But...

As long as the plans with 4G aren't crazy more expensive and the phone itself isn't, that EVO looks like my next phone. I don't even think Sprint has 4G in philadelphia suburbs yet anyway. So no 4G for me.

I think it is a risky investment. I just don't see a good buyout argument for any of the big players, except RIM. But I think RIM is doing their own thing. Without a buyout, if they don't already have a new handset ready to go, I'm not sure just expanding carriers will increase their sales at...

I think Handruin was being a bit sarcastic in his statement. The ban talk wasn't serious, was it?

A web proxy for internet explorer or chrome or whatever. Windows update works through it. But Security Essentials can't seem to update through it. So you have to rely on windows updates to get definition updates. The admin can probably open up something to fix this. It might just be blocked...

It doesn't update through proxies.

My only idea is to bypass the onboard ports and use an add-in card to give you SATAII support. If they still want the raid you could do it. But it seems like you could get rid of that and just have a reliable backup system.

Can you force the new drives into SATA I mode? By jumper or hitachi's maintenance program?

The Vertex Turbo ones though right? The regular Vertex ones are not so good?

We sometimes have dead laptop issue here and we swap the hard drive into another of the exact same model. XP boots without issue and there is no activation that I remember. I think you can do it.

Greg, can you explain clearly and in more detail what happened?

Can USB3 provide 100W of power? Because that is the type of light bulb you need in those.

Does that onboard video share the system RAM or does it have its own dedicated RAM? If it shared system RAM I would definitely go with 4GB otherwise 2 is fine.

It is supposed to be faster than any other browser. Chrome's been annoying me lately with one plug-in on one page holding up all the other pages. I thought there was supposed to be separate processes for each tab.

New batteries are like $10 on ebay.

And the new drive does not exhibit the random reboot when running chkdsk on the D partition in AHCI mode. It completes without error.
