I've had my ASUS VP28UQG monitor for 3+ years now. I use it for my PlayStation 5 and as my PC's second monitor. Yesterday, as I was using my PlayStation, the monitor just turned off. Not standby mode, not a black screen. It completely shut down. I pushed the power button, nothing happened. I...

Hello, when I plug the power cable into the input jack of my DELL E6440 the battery status light turns on for about 2 seconds and immediately goes out afterwards. How can I find the defect?

I'm building a new PC, so I ordered a new PSU: "Adata XPG Core Reactor 850W". I noticed that the power cord that came with the PSU (the one that connects the back of the PSU to the wall) has a plug that looks like a "Type E" or "Type F" plug as shown here...

Hi All, I recently decided to upgrade my PC case, so after ordering one and installing my hardware into it, the power supply unit will now only turn on if it is just connected via the 20 pin motherboard connector and the 8 pin PCIe connector. The motherboard lights up and fans spin, but...

I was just rearranging some stuff in my room, including my computer. Once I was done, I plugged the power cable for my PC back into my power board. There was some static noises while I was trying to plug it in, and I kinda felt the static throughout my body, but I managed to plug it. I turned...

Found an old dusty IEC C13 power cable when cleaning my house today and it happens I need one to power my new PSU (the plug that came with it has a different socket type). Is it safe to use in my PSU? The cable was left in small warm dusty inclosed room for around 10 years. Would the wiring or...

So I have this old computer from like 1990 and I want to power it on but I don't have any power cables for it. On the back of the big monitor there is this socket: View: https://i.imgur.com/3GXQ082.png Surprisingly it looks just like the socket I have on my modern computer. Does that mean any...

Hello all, I own a Z390 Godlike motherboard but I dont know what is the point of this 6-pin power connector in the picture below. What exactly does it power? The GPU? The CPU? The whole motherboard? https://ibb.co/7kH3vFR I have noticed no difference at all in performance after plugging a...

I tried to plug it in but it just doesn't go in fully. I can only get it a little bit inside but the cable always hangs out a bit. I've tried it with force but I don't want to do it too hard or else it might break. What should I do? Do I need to do something else first to get it in?

We have this old proprietary PC at work built for our gate system. Recently the power supply on the controller for the gate went out and the tech replaced it for us. So now I'm wondering if I can buy something like that myself as a backup. This is the picture of the old power supply that went...

I bought the Corsair RMx Series™ RM1000x PSU with a UK power cord for an upcoming custom build. Only later to realise that I would be building this PC outside of the UK and would need an EU power cord to be able to actually use this thing. My question is, does it matter what EU socket power...

So I ordered a Corsair RM750x PSU from amazon, but somehow I missed the fact that it was a EU unit while ordering. So because of this, it has a power plug with 2 large prongs that I can't even use. I have a power cable from an old crappy 400w pc (by Solytech) but my question is can I use that...

Hello, In my desktop Dell Vostro 3668, there's an outlet of 6 pins on the motherboard for connecting a SATA power cable. The power cable includes 5-6 wires and has at its other end a SATA male plug. I want to connect the SATA cable to a SSD. My question: If I connect the power SATA cable...

Hi, I'm building my first PC and can't seem to find the USB power cable (the one that is meant to connect to JUSB1 on the motherboard). Is this normal? I can't even find where the cable should be coming from, should it be coming from the Powersupply or the pc case?

I've just about used up all the space on my hard drive, so I figured I'd buy another and have two (I already have an external hard drive that I use for backing up files). I got the hard drive a day ago, and today when I opened the case to my computer, I quickly found the SATA connection cables...

So my roommate received a Vizio Smart TV as a late birthday present. And of course, what was the catch? There was no AC adaptor power cord included with the TV. So I went thru my cable stash, and I found 2 cords that fit! However, cord #1 says 10A 125V. Cord #2 says 7A 125V. The TV says the...

Hi All, I have a Dell Precision M6600. My power cable (250v) is not working anymore. I use now my old (125v) power cable. It's working but charging is very slow. Does this affect the performance of the laptop specially for the GPU? I'm having a Nvidia Quadro 3000m. I notice also when I freshly...

Hi everyone! I have a problem that I can't quite pinpoint down, but effectively this is the issue. Pushing the power button on my case, or trying to jump the power switch on the MB doesn't give the PC life at all. I only have two parts at the moment but as far as I am aware these two parts...
