| 422691 | 2006-01-20 04:19:00 | ... Incidently I noticed Quay Computers in Lower Hutt don't appear to have a service counter anymore. Maybe everything they sell is puffick and doesn't need repairing. |

| 422692 | 2006-01-20 04:29:00 | Thanks for all this, chasps - sorry about lack of replies, I do appreciate all the input - but I'm sadly computerless over the weekend unless I whip around the corner and steal the son-in-laws. Have a good weekend everyone (long weekend here in Wn) |

| 422693 | 2006-01-20 04:39:00 | Keep in mind Annie, that if/when you do venture into building something and/or when you try a replacement/repair, keep in mind the basic electricity precautions. It constantly peeves me how people go recommending this route and boasting how easy they find it, yet neglect to mention the safely aspects. | Greg (193) | ||
| 422694 | 2006-01-20 05:04:00 | Jim of Jim's Computer Services Ltd. Hataitai, is a good bloke, and his overheads will most likely be lower than bigger names like Quay. He's in the phone book. I noticed Quay Computers in Lower Hutt don't appear to have a service counter anymore. I have not been to Wellington for the last six months or so. Overlooking Evans Bay has to be a good deal even for the view. :-) |

| 422695 | 2006-01-20 05:44:00 | But couldn't it be the hard drive's died? The PC would still boot. It would just give an error not finding windows. |

| 422696 | 2006-01-20 07:30:00 | Mate of mine has used computer troubleshooters with some success. Phone 0800 728 768. Price was reasonable (well at least reasonable for a techie guy) and they do home visits. | tutaenui (1724) | ||
| 422697 | 2006-01-20 18:57:00 | Thanks everyone. I did in fact crack and whip the computer in to a local(ish) place in Ngauranga gorge, Infinity. Decided my skills weren't up to replacing the power supply - I'm ok with componentry but I think you need to know what you're doing w power supply, and of course with no computer in the house I don't have real access to the internet to find out how. I willl however keep the details of the people you all suggested, for next time -thx heaps. | annie (6010) | ||
| 422698 | 2006-01-20 19:02:00 | hahah hehehe replacing a powersupply is probably one of the easiest jobs in a pc.........generally its four screws in the back holding it in there and pull out all the plugs........ | drcspy (146) | ||
| 422699 | 2006-01-20 20:35:00 | No. This does not quite answer the question. A connector then would maybe a PSU unit plugs into a motherboard. From the PSU you can plug in a Molex connector to a Hard or Optical drive. What do you call a connector from the PSU into the motherboard? I was under the impression that annie has a Dell computer and needs help in Wellington. annie has a dell computer and wants some help. A connector then in your opinion is something that plugs into something else? You take ANY CONNECTER OUT OF ANY SOCKET ANY TIME. Probably the computer will not boot if you do that. I don't know what the power connector is called that goes from the PSU to the MOBO, a description is enough IE 24 pins. Yes, I know you brought this up :p Yes, a connector is something that plugs into something else and FITS. No, not every connector fits everything and that will damage the computer if it doesn't have enough power or too much Well my computer boots so go figure :) Now end of debate, this is not the thread for it, sorry annie :) |
