Capacitor Voltage Question

DOH! Facepalm

Ya seriously, lmfao. I fixed it though. Stripped the insulation of the wires, the ground wire wrapped around the wires. Only the power wire was broken (partially), so I cut that all the way and put a little extension in between and soldered the connections. Then because the ground was like an insulating wrapper I had to cut that originally to get to the other wires, so I cut a new ground wire and soldered that up.

Put it all back together and this time taped the wires down in a spot they wouldn't get clipped. Powered up and seems to be working great once again. Woot!

Face palm indeed.

Awesome. Do you have a third video output on your desktop that you're gonna hook it up to or will it be used with a different system? Also, what's the model (or at least size/res)?

[NightrainSrt4]

It will most likely be used with one of the other systems. My 280 only has 2 outputs and those are being used, and unless I get a pci nvidia card I can't get any triple monitor action.

The monitor is a 17" Envision EN-7100si, I believe. 1280x1024.

Nice, so not a big one, but a very usable size.

So I'm assuming you have no onboard video? That's one of the really nice things about my new MBB; since it has the GeForce 9400 NB/onboard GPU, I have two extra outputs I never thought I would use the third monitor as much as I do, but hey, ain't that always the case Now it feels so cramped when I go back to "just" two 22" panels

Ya, no onboard video with my motherboard. I've got a pci 9250se in one of my servers that really doesn't need it as it has onboard and almost never gets output to a screen as I usually just rdp to it. But you can't run ati and nvidia drivers on vista from what I've heard. Apparently win7 has the function to run separate vid drivers, so maybe when I go to 7 i'll go tri monitor.
