No Power I've just purchased a brand new 1000watt Boss GT 580 and after installing it i'm having some trouble powering it on. I've tried several things as i originally thought it was the remote, but i took a wire for the remote directly to the 12+ to bypass it and still no power. I'm having trouble believing it is the amp so i replaced to power cable and still no power. It would seem now more clear that it must be the amp, but i'm still not convinced. The reason i feel this way is because when i took the power cable and stuck it against my ground cable i didn't get any sparks. This leads me to think that it has something to do with my cables.....would it be possible that my ground cable needs to be moved, would that cause it to not power? Thanks,2 15's waiting on power

Check with a 12 volt light bulb of some sort.  First test +12 volt  wire to the chassis of the car.  The bulb should light.  Then test +12 volt wire to the ground wire.  If no light then no ground is present.

Power loss

950 watt is very small. Most electrical appliances need 1000watt to operate so if the vacuum cleaner is 1000watt then the gen set will trip. Check the drill as it is possibly 850watt which the gen set can handle. It all has to do with the wattage of the equipment you intend to run from the gen set

I bought a brand new 170.00 battery for my Dell studio 1737 laptop. It continues to say plugged in, not charging. What can i do? I've tried plugging in and replugging in the charger.

For a new battery, we advise that you update the BIOS of your laptop, and open the hardware automatic identification port of your laptop.

When you use it firstly, you need to discharge till 5%, then charge it about 11 hours. Usually, new battery need to fully discharge and charge for three or four times, which can achieve the best performance.

About the new battery, please set the power management of your laptop: Property -> Screen Saver -> power -> Power scheme -> Portable / Laptop -> please cancel about low battery alarm and serious shortage of battery alarm when use the battery.
For some laptops, you could try to close your power management tool to test your new battery.

You could try to take out the battery from your laptop, and put it back again, repeat several times. Make sure that it isn't a poor contact problem between the battery and your laptop.

If the battery works in higher temperature, the battery protection plate will work and the laptop restart program will make a termination order. You can take out the battery, put it back again, and avoid work in high temperature.

In order to avoid some damage to the battery, please note:
Please don't take out the battery when the laptop is in run status.
Please don't pull out the ac adapter frequently when the battery is charging.
Please use high quality and reliable laptop charger, not to use the universal laptop charger.

Are there something wrong with the new battery can not charging?
That's not usually the case. When equipment for the first time to recharge the battery, the instability of the voltage and current may cause the battery charge to 50% (sometimes more, sometimes less), and equipment stop charging the battery.
If this happens,don't worry. You just remove the battey from the equipment, recharge again. First charging a new battery may need several repeated process. Please be assured that this is normal.

Hi, I recently purchased a Samsung Q330 with windows 7 home edition installed. About a week after owning it I was prompted to download the windows updates of which there were about 49. After these were...

The update messed up the OS. I would go into Safe Mode (tap the F8 key while the system is booting up) and then uninstall all the updates or go back to the previous System Restore point (from Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore).

Boss BV9055 Power Up Problem

12/29. I actually figured this one out myself after reading posts concerning parking brake over rides. It turns out that the Boss BV9055 will not powerup if the pink parking brake wire from the units wiring harness is not grounded. Once I grounded that pink parking brake wire the unit did power up.
