| 533471 | 2007-03-16 04:28:00 | Plugged my portable drive into a ladys 4 plug power thingy then into USB. Noticed the monitor had no picture (did have green LED), unplugged my drive quick smart when she said it did that often. (too late) Then she said CD drive wouldn't open. Plugged all her connectors properly into this dodgy power thing at which point monitor stopped having a problem, so did the CD drive etc. Its a cheap Warehouse thing. Went home and tested my adapter and its now dead. Cheap *&^&%$##$ Warehouse #@@$%. |

| 533476 | 2007-03-16 18:35:00 | Er......if you read my first post you'll see thats how I killed it. OK, I will re-phrase the question... is it possible to get ones with external power supplys? | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 533477 | 2007-03-16 18:51:00 | OK, I will re-phrase the question... is it possible to get ones with external power supplys? www.overclockers.co.nz All 3.5" ones have power. Some of the 2.5" ones don't but they also don't always work proeprly either. better to have power. |

| 533479 | 2007-03-16 20:28:00 | I had to buy a power adaptor on TM the other day - mine had died, and I the company I bought it off insisted I courier back my entire external HDD for them to "test". It worked out cheaper to just buy a new adaptor - I think I paid around $19 on Trademe. pctek - how much are those things wholesale? | somebody (208) | ||
