Chapter 13: Starting Point, 1.14
Mrs Happy started the day talking about USB cards and Wifi cards. She showed us how to take out the hardware safely.Notebook Processors have AMD, Intel, and Motorola. These all are famous with tth e Notebook comptuer. The keyboards are much smallre but have the same features including the Fn key. When you hold that down you'll see alot of other function keys. The num lock key can also lock the function keys. If you hit this for example.. your letter L could be 6. Monitors have LCD technology. You can lose less power, heat, space, and glare. Notebook Pointing Devices have left button, glide surface, and a right button. Communication Connections- LAN technology, Wireless Protocols, and Linking devices all tie into this. Infrared light is being used, and speed is 9600. 10-20 ft is the range. Radio uses ones radio signal. 802.11 is traveling at 54 megabits. Bluetooth is a shortrange radio, up to 10 meters. Notebooks have a Microphonee port and a HEadphone port. 2 more review slides were showed next and she showed how to put in your PC cards. If one has a prominant card then you have to get into the laptop. Remove the power and battery. Remove the "bay", it looks like batteries. Take off the wires and then take out the two clips. This is a wireless card. Then put in your battery and plug in the power. Ones Ethernet cable can perminantely be plugged in. The Docking Station has ports, Slots for desktop cards, and Bays for drives. Maintenance: Clean the exterior case, clean the touchpad, keep the fan openings and ventialtion holes clear, Blot out dust and other materials from sensitive components. Clean the monitor. Remoove dust, crumbs, and dirt from between the keyboard keys. Also Clean the CD or DVD-ROM drive. If one takes the laptop out of the office, make sure to get a laptop case. It has a special padding in it. PDA has Calendars, Contacts, MINI applications, Games and Vertical Market Software. One can find "health and Fitness" to Bianary Calulators. When one uses this, you have to use Grafitti. The Stylus is a small pen that acts as a touch screen. Inputs: Menues, the handwriting techniquie and a keyboard. One can tap the icons. This is stored in the body of the PDA. There's always a battery indicator on the screen. Connecting the PDA one has connection options. Cradle with USB or serial connection. Like USB, Inrared, Bluetooth, and WiFi. Synchronizing info, Palm Desktop or WIndows CE or Pocket Pc. ACT is a sales deal. Temporary Files: keeps track of current statuses on an activity. It begins with the "eyebrow key" or ends with. .tmp. We're going to look for certain files. Delete files that are not in use. One sometimes doesn't know where the file is and then you can search for it. When you want to undelete by using "Undelete". Recycling bin belongs to Windows. Window Diagnostics falls into many different categories. In order to access system info go to system tools from the start menu. It takes a minute to refresh info. The plus and minus signs allow you to hide/see information. Some favorite parts is getting information from other users. One can look for various files and folders.

Sarting Point- Chapter 13
Some network connections are Ethernet, and Wireless, etc. With laptops, one can change a lot of things. Like USB, and Firewire. Hot Swap is where one could take out their dvd dslot and put in thier floppy disk drive. The laptop then recognized it. Non-Hot-Swappable, requires the laptop to be turned off, and power drained, battery removed. And Internal (memory, and hard disk). If one wishes to upgrade the memory, they need to make sure they becareful whats under the "hood". Make sure you buy the memory ship that is the correct one. One can have the same issues with notebook computers, are the same you can have with a larger desktop computer. People have put protective covers, under your keyboard to keep the internal components safe. One of the biggest dangers of keyboards is crumbs. If one damages the touch screen, it can be hard to fix. Notebook batteries, provide 30 min to 8hrs of powers. The power Utility will recognize C power. They can be recharged when you plug them into AC Power as well. It takes about an hour to fully recharge a laptop. The Notebook has a computer plu, outlet plyg and Transformer. Power Indicator lights appear on a laptop. Solid green is "up and running". The nice thing about laptops is that they can run on Battery power. They're good for on the go. In "Power Options" menu, there is "Power Schemes, Alarms, Power Metter, and Advanced, and Hibernate". If you think you're having power problems, check the power lights. That's the first thing to do.

Printers! Yay!...) Printers can connect and be a USB.
First type: Dot-Matrix Printter. Impact printer where the inked ribbon striked the paper. It is great for multipart forms. It has tractor feed, and friction feed. It has serial or parallel connections.Printer Drivers are important. One has to have the correct one. Print uality can depend on if you have the right driver. A safety issue is making sure you have your hair pulled back! Or.. OUCH!:)
And Ink Jet Printer, are very inexpensive, and very nice. They are different though when they are compared. Ink Dispersion is where it forces ink through nozzles onto the paper. (like it's painted). It heats up the ink and then creates a bubble whch then explodes and sends ink to the paper. The cartridges can come in black and color. the rpinter can have 300- to 600 nozzles. It is cheaper to get colors for the printer then just one color cartridge. In terms of quality, your resolution is dpi(dot. per. inch) If one has a thin absorbant paper then you will lose ink. It will lower your graphics. In order to hook up a printer one has to be in the local administrator.
Straight path, and curved path were talked abuot next. On the curved, the paper is fed through the bottom. Printers are becommng less expensive everyday. Ink cartridges are used up fast. Toner, however, lasts longer. It uses Ep. It staticlly charges it with a laser light. Laster Printer components are Laster scanning assembly, Power supplis, Paper control and transport assembly. and Electroic control Package. The power supplies are very High Voltage. These printers are more complex but have, high volume and faster.

Hand Held scanners are usually for bar code readers. Like for UPS. To track inventories, and grocery stores etc. It uploads all the information. Digital Cameras have connections like usb, FIrewire, Hp Printers, Memory Card Readers, and Docking. This works well with plug and play. Digital Camera Connections-USB is with still cameras. Firewire is with video. Batteries-Rechargeable, disposable, and if so then digital rated. Card Readers, Built in, and external device. Some problems are like lower battery. If not uploading correctly it might not be detecting the cable. The camera mode is where you can put it in and it will be in mode.

Right click and then up to display and to control pannel. She showed one how to change properties and display deals. If one installs their video card they would have more colors to choose from. Sometimes you won't see all the tabs. One can ruin their hardware. Display properties have tabs of Themes, desktop, screensaver, appearance, and settings. Each of these tabs does someting unique. There are a lot of different things one is able to change in this are of the computer. One can change the color settings and make sure they have it set up the way they want it. Video connectors have different pins and then they have things that transmit something. Make sure there is no bent pins. if you try to bend it back you do not want to try to bend it back because u might just break it. Red, green, and blue, send things out. Each of the pins have a purpose and so if one is bent the purpose is ruined as well. Their are alot of display adjustments. LIke brightness and color etc. There are many different things that get you to switch setings. It's like trial and error. Every monitor is different. CRT issues: screen could be black. Image might flicker or distorts. Noisy monitor, or image scrolling. If it's flickering it might be a bent pin. The flat pannel (LCD) is becomming less expensive. there is a lot of lesss glare. The flat pannel is producing a nice clear image. characteristcs are like the screen size, viewing angle, response rate, contrast rate, native resolution, brighness, and alot of other features. A lot of the flatpannels have built in speakers, and will come with an installation disk. There are 24 pins of the DVI. TMDS- Transmits data to a digital monitor. Touch Screens have a touch-sensitive surface. Some of the uses are : PDA, POS, ATM, GPS. Another form of displays are projectors. It duplicates images on your wall. Speakers are related but alot of the monitors have speakers themselves. Speakers can be connected together. Scanners can scan pictures, documents etc. Most use a TWAIN scanner. A flatbed scanner is where it scans the the image and will save it to your computer. It's similar to a office copier.

Starting Point: 1.25 CD Drive Components
On Cd Roms you can volume up or down. Some CD roms have 1 button. A manuel eject hole is a tiny hole that is about the size of a paper clip. All you have to do is take a thin object(paperclip) and insert it to eject the disk. Another reason to use it is its just an easier way then to plug everyting back in and then eject it. When you want to put data on a cd rom, you use what people call "burning". The 1x helps the cd spin. 12x is 12 times faster. If there external you use firewire and usb connections. When it comes to drive cleaning, you dont' want a bad cloth. You want a soft, lint free cloth, no harsh chemicals, soft soap, or water. Becareful of the surrounding. Another form of storage is a falsh drive, aka jump drive. Another form is an MP3 Player. It happens to store your music. just like your ipod. Another is a floppy disk. 3 1/2 space is 80 tracks. A high density floppy holds 2.88. Floppy drives usually have their own cable. Not many people use it. Not enough stored data. Alot of people use a boot disk. Some requires a cd rom. Windows 98 allows boot up. If one needs a boot floppy go to bootdisk.com. Backing up your data is very important. Some tape formats are QIC, DDS, DLT, LTO, AIT. Adaptors send signals to your monitor. It's built into the motherboard. Video requires enormous resources. Data is transferred in short intervals. Some data, Grapical OS, 3D Game graphics. PCIe PCI express. It uses Serial Communication. Terminology: Link and Lane. An AGP card is know as Accelerated Graphics Port. This allows 3D graphics to appear quickly.

She started talking about Hard Drives and their Geometry. She compared it to a baseball game. becuase each person has an assigned seat. When you creat one you have to have a track. Alot of the tracks/sectors get damaged. There are many Partition types. There is primary, extended, basic, and dynamic. The Primary petition is accessed by the OS so is the extended. Basic is a standard type sense DOS. Dynamic is a new type for Windows 2000. There are utilities too. like the Windos Disk Manager, or the Third-Party/ No Disk utilities. You can choose where to install the OS.
