  • Using USB power for a project, USB cable heated up?

    I'm using USB power for a project I'm working which involves a motor. I connected the USB +ve and -ve to the motor to check the working for about 15 seconds. When I was done, I felt the USB cable and felt it had become at least a degree or 2 hotter.

    I have no idea about the motor's rated voltage or whatever. I just picked it off some old toy lying around.

    Is this heating up normal ? Why is it happening ?

  • Doubt abt upgrading my laptop's memory.?

    My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1501, and currently has 2 x 512 MB DDR2 PC4200 533mhz ram modules.

    Whats the difference between PC4200 and PC5400 RAM ? I see the latter has faster clock speeds 667 Mhz compared to the former's 533 Mhz but the CAS Latency has also gone up to 5 from 4 compared to the first one.

    If I buy the PC5400 RAM, will it first of all work in my laptop and second will it perform slower becos of the latency (I dont care how much, even if it slows down by milliseconds, let me know, I'm just curious)

  • Dealership wont sign off the car lien, I need legal advice ?

    Hi,

    I bought a car from a person not knowing what a lien was, I later realised what it was and found out I cannot get it registered unless it is signed off.

    I contacted the dealership who owned the lien on the car, and the owner initially offered to sign off the lien, went on a vacation and then came back saying he wouldnt sign it unless I paid him $530. That too I had to beg and plead my case, he kept cutting the phone and I had to keep calling until he relented.

    Now when I wanted to go over to pay him the money and get it signed off, he's asking $850 and absolutely refuses to even talk to me. In the middle of the conversation, he cut the phone and wont even let me talk.

    Fact is, neither I nor the dealership have any details regarding the lien status of the car and how much is owed and the owner of the dealership absolutely refuses to talk or cooperate.

    I've reached the end of my wits and am absolutely frustrated and angry. I want to sue him and somehow get the lien signed off.

    I tried to track the original owner but cannot track her down either. The guy who sold me the car has disappeared too.

    Somebody please tell me how I can proceed about this legally, or refer me to somebody who can answer my question. I am willing to pay for the legal advice if it is valid. There are a few websites around (Worldlawdirect.com) which has legal advisors who claim to be able to answer my question. Should I try those ?

  • Should I go for a SDHC or Micro SD for my cam ?

    Ok my last question was not answered so I'm posting this again. I have a Canon SD870 IS cam, I know it supports SD, SDHC and MMC cards and upto Class 6 SDHC cards.

    Now I'm planning to shoot videos with my cam, 640x480, 30 fps. A 10 second video is approx 19 MB in size. So considering all this, I want someone knowledgeable in memory cards to suggest If I should go for SDHC or micro SD cards with SD adapter, I'm not worried about using the adapter or dust or anything.

    I'm asking because shooting videos may require a high data transfer rate and I'm unsure how fast a data rate it requires.

    I want to know if I'm going for SDHC, do I really need to go for Class 6 or will a Class 4 serve my needs just fine ? are micro SD cards faster or is there no difference between the two ?
