1. Ohm’s Law in Basic DC Electronic Circuit Design – Crash Course : An in-brief theoretical, and also practical – if the reader is prepared to participate – tutorial of the basics of Ohm’s Law with regard to circuit-design using resistances in conjunction with bipolar transistors.
2. What Do I Do If My Power Supply’s Voltage Drops Under Load? : A guide explaining the effects of placing an electrical load across supply-rails according to Ohm’s Law, and correlating the wattage/amperage available from the power supply unit with the power-drain caused by the electrical resistance of a load placed across the rails of that supply. Also an explanation of some PSU manufacturer’s labelling of their products’ output characteristics.
3. FloatLED On-Screen Hard-Disk Activity Indicator (Free Software) : ‘Having problems seeing your computer’s hard-drive-activity indicator light? With this useful app you can see an activity indicator for each separate installed drive on your monitor screen; which is where you’re normally looking when using a computer.
4. Can I Install Windows 7 64-bit on a System With Only a Single-Core Processor? : ‘Still got that old computer with a single-cored processor and wonder whether it would be worth installing the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on it? This guide will help you to decide yes or no.
5. How to Test a Power Supply Unit: Testing Under Load : So you think your power-supply might be faulty but you’re reading a normal output from it when it’s unconnected. – Now you want to test it when it has an electrical load on it… But connecting it up in a normal manner to a computer doesn’t exactly make doing so an easy task. In this article we build an inexpensive circuit that will significantly load the rails of your PSU without connecting it to a computer…
6. How to Upgrade an AMD Socket AM2 Processor : You’ve decided to upgrade your single-cored Socket AM2 AMD Athlon 64 processor to a dual-cored AMD Athlon 64×2 of the same socket configuration. – But when it comes down to actually doing it you don’t have a clue what to expect as you’ve never done the procedure before. This guide will give you a fairly clear idea of how to do it.
7. How to Uninstall IE8 in XP : You’ve installed Internet Explorer 8 on your computer running Windows XP – and it’s crashed –again, or you think it sucks, or something else has gone tits-up and you need to uninstall it – FAST. – But how? This guide will help to prepare and walk you through the process.
8. How to Test a Power Supply Unit: Testing Voltage Output. : You want to see whether or not a particular power-supply-unit is outputting any voltage. This guide will help you to be able to do that.
9. How to Change Alternating Current into Direct Current and Supply Electronic Circuits With Power. : Isn’t it amazing that nearly all the electronic units used in everyday life work on a low DC voltage – usually 12 volts or less, though occasionally up to 50 volts – yet they are all supplied with AC power; between 120 and 250 volts, depending upon which country you live in. This article explains. very briefly, how high-voltage AC power is converted inside the appliance into low-voltage DC.
10. How to Create a Desktop Sound Mixer Icon in Windows 7 : One of the great Windows 7 piss-offs with regard to its users is calling up the sound-mixer: Left-click the tiny white speaker-icon in the taskbar and a master-volume-control appears. Right click it and a menu appears, from which you have to choose the mixer… Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you had an icon on your desktop that you could click and the mixer appears? This article tells you how you can create just such an icon on your desktop.
