    Keyboard failure or virus?

    okay so let me get this straight... when you completely remove the keyboard from the laptop (meaning remove the ribbon cable from the motherboard of the laptop) it still makes the beeping noises and produces the h's? (no external keyboard) it doesn't make sense that it would produce h's without...

    Use MSI Megabook MP-03233D0-359I Keyboard as Desktop Keyboard

    btw, if you do proceed with doing this make sure you use like 15w solder iron with a very thin tip. when tinning the keyboard ribbon make sure you do it quickly each point and not leaving the tip on the point for too long. this could melt the connection in the ribbon if left on the point for too...

    Use MSI Megabook MP-03233D0-359I Keyboard as Desktop Keyboard

    HDD Problem (RIP?)

    you want your ground from your usb to be from the same power supply that powers the hard drive. using your psu from your computer and usb from your laptop don't share the same ground. " I suggest using +3.3v from the same power supply that you will use to power the hard drive (orange wire is...

    HDD Problem (RIP?)

    oh actually i think the usb powers the little board attached to the usb end like in the video. the only wires you use from the usb is for ground, tx, rx. the hard drive gets its power from the computer you connect it with. just make sure you use the usb with the same computer you use to power...

    HDD Problem (RIP?)

    tx and rx are reversed from the usb end to the hdd. ground needs to be common with the same power supply that powers the hdd. the power from usb is 5v so that fits the requirement of 3.3-5v. it should work out just fine.

    HDD Problem (RIP?)

    i wouldn't do the cell phone data cable method only cause it's not really covered in the how to. you would need to determine which wires in the data cable are tx/rx and the rest so i would just go with either the serial or usb adapter. do you have a serial port on your computer to use? what did...

    Keyboard failure or virus?

    first find out if your keyboard is bad. determine the keyboard bad by getting you a boot disc of some kind that can either take you to a dos environment, winpe, or something that will allow you to see on the screen what your pressing. doing this will take you outside the environment where the...

    HDD Problem (RIP?)

    there's really nothing special about the wires. the one in the picture is a solid copper wire. and more commonly they have stranded wire. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2053286 that has a pic that shows the difference. i don't think it really matters which type you use as long...
