How can I find a wiring socket connector to hook up an amp or video do you know where i might find one? I've checked pretty much everywhere online.

I am not clear if you are saying that the amp has sockets for a pre-amp to be connected to it. Or if it is a pre-amp and that it has an out socket for connecting a power amp.
Either of them are not suitable for connecting a sub I think.

The model number of the mainbaord is usually printed on the mainboard itself. Look between the RAM dimms near the CPU socket.

If that mainboard is PCI-Express then it will be fine. It's PCI-Express if your card fit into the slot and locks into position. If the slot is too small for your card then you know that the board is some-thing else.

Just make sure the Power supply has at least a 6Pin Power connector for that graphics card.

The 6Pin connector plugs into the actual graphics card at the top. Be sure that the power supply is rated at 450Watt +.

Install the lastest drivers from the Nvidia website.

Take care!

If it's a laptop, they've usually got a vga connector on the rear panel which you can use to connect to an external monitor...or a projector if it's got the same (vga) connector. If your projector only has a jack socket, then that's not a standard connector for a video input and maybe you should consult your projector's user guide for clarification of the connectors (are you sure your jack socket isn't actually a phono or RCA socket? if it is, then your laptop video output signal probably isn't compatible with the projector as there's no way to make s-video output feed anything other than a s-video input (different signal levels and standards) Regards, nicam49

Tips from me:

1.If your power supply isn't coming on, I advise you to check the 20/24-pin motherboard power cable,
connector, and be sure it's down in tight. Make sure that lock tab of the power cable connector, snaps over the motherboard connector lug. Make sure that connector is in all the way.

2.Be sure the wires that come from the Power On switch, and go to the motherboard, are connected, and down all the way. The connector, or individual connectors, need to be down on those motherboard pins all the way. (The area on the motherboard where they connect, is called the Front Panel header. A connector on a motherboard is called a Header)
Also make sure both wires from the Power On switch, (Button), are connected to the motherboard, if the wires have individual connectors.

Now, how to test to see if the Power On switch is bad.

The 20/24-pin ATX motherboard power cable connector comes in three styles.
A.20-pin connector. Has two rows of 10 socket holes
B.24-pin connector. Has two rows of 12 socket holes
C.20-pin and a 4-pin connector.

NO matter what style it is, it has a Green wire going to that connector. The Green wire is the
Soft Power On wire.

With the motherboard power connector plugged into the motherboard, and the computer plugged into the surge protector, you need to jump that Soft Power On wire, to a Ground wire.
View these photos of a 20-pin ATX Main power cable. (Motherboard power cable, Main power cable.
Same/same)

Look at the photo all the way to the right. (You can save this page, and bring it up in a new window)
This shows that Green wire. Fourth one from the left.
Next to it is a Black wire. Fifth one from the left.

ANY Black wire is a Ground wire.

You need to make a jumper wire. This wire should have insulation on it. It should be as thick as those power cable wires. It should be about 3 inches long. You need to strip off 3/4ths of a inch of insulation, off of EACH end. Twist the exposed wires. Make a tight wrap. Bend this wire into a U-shape.

At this point you may want to don a protective rubber glove. Tightly fitting dishwashing glove, or perhaps a surgical style one. Reasoning is, that there will be a spark. You may feel more safe this way. I don't use one, but I'm an old tech, and maybe not too Tightly Wrapped! lol! (I also was a journeyman lineman, so this spark doesn't bother me!)

With the ATX motherboard power cable plugged into the motherboard, you are looking at the back of the connector. The wires go down into a socket. At the end of every wire is a metal terminal end.
It's pretty far down in there. One end of your jumper wire, goes down deep into the Green wire socket. It needs to touch that metal terminal end.

The other end of your jumper wire, needs to touch a Ground wire terminal end. ANY Black wire is a Ground wire. Just stick the end down into a socket with a Ground wire. Hold it there for about 1 to 2 seconds, bring the wire back out. You just want to make a Momentary Contact.
Your power supply should start.

If so, you have a bad Power On switch. If not, your problem is the power supply, or the motherboard.

hook to a what? direct to your TV or to an audio/video amp? That depends on what is available in your DVD/VCR or toy our TV. simple cnnection is just the composite video signal colored yellow RCA connector. Video out of your DVD/VCD to Video input of your TV. Another option maybe if it has which is better is S-Video output of DVD to S-Video input TV. if you;re doing it via audio/video amp, then simply look for the input source and connect your video there. The audio... it's also RCD connectors colored Red/White for your right/left channels. it will always be like that for a stereo amp setup. but if you are using audio.video amp with sound preocessing then you'll have more audio connections at least 5, mains left/right, surround channels left/right, your center speaker, your subwoofer.

Hi,

First of all you need to check if your amp can support this type of speaker setup? If you are simply going to wire 2 subs up to the amp (assuming a 2 channel amp) it's pretty simple. Just connect the + & - cables to one channel of the amp & the other ends of the cable to the sub, making sure that they are the correct polarity on both sides (ie speaker & on the amp).
If on the other hand you want to 'daisy chain' the subs onto one channel of the amp (this effectively drops the load down to half that of the speakers (usually 2 Ohm)), then you do as the name suggests. Simple connect one speaker cable to the amps channel 1 + ve output to subs_1 +ve input. Then from sub_1 -ve connector to subs_2 +ve. This leaves you with only 1 more to connect sub_2 -ve back to amp channel 1 -ve.

NOTE: make sure that your amp can support this first! If it can't then it's will auto switch off in most cases but can also damage the amp if there is no fail safe circuit built in.

You can find the owner's manual for this set online at: http://www.zenithservice.com/gcsc/b2c/hpi/main?tc=owm.command.OwmCmd It says that the BOTTOM four connectors are: 1. S-Video IN 2. Video IN 3. Audio (Right) IN 4. Audio (Left) IN Above the Audio IN connectors are two audio OUT connectors, which you could hook to external speakers, your stereo, etc. But these are not needed for hooking up your DVD player. From your DVD player, you need to hook up either the S-Video or Video connection (Video is typically the Yellow wire), plus the Audio connections (Red and White). If your DVD player has an S-Video output, this will give you a better picture than the standard Video connection. S-Video cables have a different plug, with four or five wires in the connector, and are keyed so they only fit into the socket in one orientation. Be careful to line it up properly and not force it in the wrong way.
