All technical problems go here!

Technology is a wonderful thing, until you screw something up. No worries, it happens to everyone. Comp crashing too much? Fry your iPod? Delete your un-backed-up files? OMG VIRUS?!?! Post a plea for help and a fellow geek may be able to help you out. Just keep it all in this thread. -The Staff

I'll open up this thread with a question of my own:

Here goes, I have a Polaroid a520 camera, and all of a sudden it won't download pictures onto my computer. I tried it on a different computer, and it worked fine! I bought an SD card reader, but that hasn't helped so far. anyone know what the problem is?

If it won't even read the card, I'd say it's not the camera. See if the card is slid into lock, if not, try a different card, see if that works.

My HP camera was doing something similar, until I just formatted the card using the camera.

Andrew: it slid into the lock just fine.

Junsier: my computer doesn't have one of those slots.

dWhisper: how would I do that?

You'll have to look it up in the camera's manual. It should have instructions.

That's the most long-winded and respectful RTFM I've ever heard from someone doing tech support.

I also have a camera problem.

My Sony DSC-H2 turned off (presumably because of battery) and the lens were out while it turn off. It was also taking a photo.

Now I put fresh batteries in - the camera turns on, the LCD screen says Cyber-shot - but it turns off immediately after. Also, when I turn it on, it makes a thumping noise inside the camera.

Any advice? I think it's going to need repair.

[Edit] Problem solved.

I have a problem, though I'm not sure if you guys will be able to help from your position.

I recently got Verizon FioS and it is compatible with our phone, Internet, and TV. However, my Xbox Live doesn't work, which I find strange since I've already connected the network and WEP key with my Xbox Livel it recognizes this new network as the primary one, and not my old Comcast one. What confuses me is that for some reason, it won't work, and the router is in the room next to my bedroom, where my 360 is.

When I test the connection or Xbox Live on the Settings bar in the dashboard, it always says the Xbox Live Network Adapter has failed, and indeed, the red light is shining on the wireless network adapter. Has anyone faced this problem before, or at least, something similar to it, and if so, do you know how you could help? Or am I potentially screwed?

I wasn't able to get Xbox live to work with my router until I hard-wired it. Works fine now.

My problem now with my 360 is that I have two wireless controllers, one came with the console and one I bought later. I got the rechargeable battery packs, and it works fine with the one I bought but not with the controller the 360 came with. The white one only works if I put in AA batteries. Otherwise it won't connect to the 360 and it just has the spinny lights. I tried the connect buttons on the 360 AND controller but it won't work.

I have a Xbox 360 controller problem, although I don't think anybody can help. I mainly just want to know if anybody else has had this problem.

About two weeks ago I bought an xbox 360, Halo 3 and a black controller. I have never been an aggressive gamer, I probably played it less than an hour a day (Using the black controller all of that time) Then yesterday afternoon while playing Halo, the lower right analog stick broke on the inside. So, my question is, would Walmart replace it? Or should I try to fix it .

Thanks

Wal-Mart lets you return things within 90 days I believe, and if it's broken, return it. Don't try to take it apart, you void any warranty or guarantee for it then.

Do you need the receipt? I hope I didn't throw it away...






Fett

[dWhisper]

Well, I don't have their entire policy memorized, but typically, yes, you need a receipt. If you're exchanging, they might let you get away with it.

Alright, I'll try to find it and exchange it. Although it would've been more fun to take it apart .

I have a computer problem with the laptop of my mum.
The OS is Windows XP, I made a hardware list with Everest and got all missing hardware drivers from the internet. (when she bought it there was unfortunately no driver CD included).
Now everything works fine, EXCEPT one little thing:
Stand-By or hibernate.
If you send the computer into one of those two states there is an immediate complete re-boot. I looked into event log and there is an information about a serious error. But no description what is the source of that error.
I already unchecked "automatic re-boot by error", but then the computer stays just black and you have to manually re-boot it.
Has anyone an idea what that could be?
She needs stand-by at her laptop, but I am very clueless now.

What security software are you using? That's the most frequent suspect for stand-by issues.

[dWhisper]

Well... biggest thing I can say is that you need to update both of those. Install SP2, see how it works. SP2 fixed a poo-load of things.

[ZombieAndi]

And SP2 could solve the Stand-by problem?
Okay, I try it.

Quite possibly. It fixed thousands of problems with XP.

I closed all Norton processes and deactivated auto monitor. But the problem was still there.
