it works with a short cable , unfortunately we have to use the long one , is the problem because of the laptop ?

Make sure the cable is Twisted Pair, and has a home run wiring  (when you hold the two ends together, the colors of the wires are the same on the prongs).\n\nThe cable should have something written on it to the effect of "Trwisted Pair". Even then, it could be broken, have a short, or something.

Did you test the USB hub in another USB port? That one port could be defective.\n\nMy parents have a similar problem with the port in front of their computer, so they have to plug other devices into the back of the PC.\n\nAlso, what version of Windows, Linux or Mac are you running?

if you are on diff ip networks, but same physical network, jumping a cable over will cause problems. try typing the ip adress of the other computer into your browser.\n\n&#92;&#92;10.0.x.x

I have seen two antennas on many laptops just for that reason. I live in a big city with lots of towers and did not need to do that. It will not hurt any thing and you would only be out a few bucks, so its worth a try.

If the hard drive comes out of the case, it might be a regular 40 pin connection in the back. Take out the hard drive and hook it up as a slave drive on the regular computer and see if it works.

The S-Video connections are normally OUT connections, not IN.  They allow you to send what your monitor sees to a TV or recorder, but not the other way around.\n\nYou need to install some sort of video capture card into your laptop.\n\nThere are several available, both USB and PCMCIA.  The average cost of them is around $75.  Check with your local computer store or electronics store, and they should help you pick which one would be best for your needs.

First off, is his router wireless? if its cross house I hope its a dual antenna and possibly needing a booster antenna. Then you need to use your laptops wireless software to search for available wireless networks. Then see if his network pops up and try to connect, it may ask for information(wep numbers and whatnot) that only your neighbor can get through his router setup software.\n\nif the network does not appear on your laptop that means the connection is not strong enough and you need a better router or the antenna kit for larger distances.

You would probably be better off with a USB wireless adapter. USB doesn't cause conflicts. You can get a Netgear wireless adapter thats pretty good.

No they use different slots.  Laptop memory is physically smaller.

Just get a usb hub, preferably a powered usb hub. This will use one usb port but give you a minimum 4 extra ports for a net gain of 3 usb ports. By using a powered hub you reduce the power load on the laptop keeping it cooler than a non powered or pcmcia card.

1) Of course there is the obvious - Is it plugged in?  \n2)  Make sure the cable (I'm assuming it is not a laptop) is plugged in all the way to the computer box.\n3) Try the monitor on another computer if you can.\n4)  If a laptop - try holding down the Function key - labeled "Fn" usually - and hit the F5 key at the same time - this is a toggle to tell your computer to use another video device when you have one plugged in.  You could be toggled to turn off your monitor and look for one plugged in.  Keep holding and hitting F5 to get back to using your monitor.\n5)  If a laptop - it could be from static electricity build up - it is more common than you think.  The solution is hard to beleive but it does work.  Unplug all cords to the laptop - everything.  Then remove the battery.  Now hold the power button on for 3 minutes.  What takes place at this point is - while you hold it down, the power button is pulling all the static electricity from within.  Replace the battery and connections after the 3 minutes. Amazingly if you do this process you will notice a big difference on your screen clarity.\n6). Your graphics card may be bad, try connecting another monitor to your computer.  At times the graphic card may come loose, try pushing it down on the motherboard.\n7).  The monitor may be broken - it is not uncommon that monitors become broken.\n8).  The motherboard may be bad, but usually more than the monitor would probably be affected. \n\nI hope this helps - best of luck if you are having any issues.

Try to find a a TV tuner card that would be compatible with a laptop. There are many available for desktops, but there might be a way to convert one so it can be used on a laptop.

Match up the end of the cable with the opening that it fits on the back of your pc.  You usually need to install the software before connecting the computer, but this is not absolutely necessary.  With Windows XP, the computer will automatically search out the necessary drivers, all you have to do is follow the prompts either way.\nGood Luck!

Check whether the power cables from the motherbaord to the powerswitch are connected properly. It could behave mad if the connection is not proper !!!!

these answers that suggest of using a USB to USB Datalink Cable are in principle correct but it doesn't work because you can neither share the folders nor install the communication program on the PC for this Link Cable. did you ever try to do this blindly? .. :p\nso it might be the better solution to hook the TV set to the PC using a S-video cable, provided that the PC has an S-video output and the TV set has the corresponding input.

chrisew333 is right. You could also check to make sure you have the right power supply.  Laptop power supplies vary greatly.  You can't use just any one that fits.  One that's not strong enough may cause the laptop to do wierd things like that.

if the computer is not starting up then you could have compatibility issues try removing one of the hardware say the usb device first and try starting it up if it works then you will know that it is the usb device that is the problem if it doesn't change then you know it is the TV card that is causing the problem once you know the problem you can try to fix it did you anti static protection?? if not you could of damaged the hardware before you installed it or it just could be that it is not compatible with you your computer it is awkward problem
