  1. I have a Lexmark 735 printer ... I refilled my cartridge and now I get a message that it's an unsupported cartridge ... it's the orignial. How do I override what ever it is that telling the printer not to use the refilled cartridge?
  2. Okay tried to do as you suggested, but W2K doesn't have a system retore .... so I could not disable it. I looked though the help files and found nothing on the subject. Lexmark's tech support said I should go through the control panel to printer, then add new printer ..... go that route .... I did, but the problem remains .... I suspect Lexmark isn't going to be able to solve this problem .... one of those "kinks" in their software.
  3. Okay .... I'll give it a shot and see if it works .... I'll let you know how it goes.
  4. Yeah Pete .... I do get the error went the printer is on. I don't know anything about a status monitor program ...
  5. Dang ..... the problem is back .... I guess it was just that one shut down where it didn't appear ..... Lexmark's printer is great, but their software is something to be desired Back to the drawing board ..... any suggestions ...
  6. Thanks guys ..... uninstalling and reinstalling the printer did the trick .... thanks for your help.
  7. Thanks for the reply ..... yes to both questions ..... this has got me scratching my head Nothing is happening with the printer at all yet I get that message when I shut down.
  8. I get this message when I shut down my computer .... "lxcfcoms.exe-Dll Initialization failed .... The application failed to initialize because the windows station is shutting down." I have a Lexmark Z735 printer and a Nivda video card .... I have updated the drivers for both. Does anyone have any idea what this is about and how I stop it? It dosen't cause any problems that I am aware of, but I would like to correct the error. Thank you for your time.
  9. Yeah, I see what you mean .... man ... why did I have to have a 400 instead of an 800 .... they are $50 cheaper! Is it the same with all the 400 bus speed being more expensive or just the 2.6Ghz? Thanks for posting. Update. I did some shopping around and the best price I could find was $43 TTD for a 2.0GHz 400 .... can you tell me it that would be a noticeable difference in the CPU power and speed? Thank you for your time.
  10. Hello .... I'm thinking about upgrading my Intel board from a 1.4 G to a 2.6 G CPU the max the mobo can handle. I was looking at the intel site on my board and it stated that the bios has to be upgraded to a certain level and something with the chip set as well. My sig has all my machine info .... here is a link to the page with the specs and info on the bios. I did download the upgrade file. This is the link to the download page and the file for the chip set .... #7 .... I know I will have to update the bios, but do I need the chip set file? What other preparations will I need to do to upg
  11. I had a guy on another board state he never had to change the backlight on a monitor only the inverter .... now I would like to test the inverter ... but how .... once more if I do need an inverter how do I go about finding the part. The place I check doesn't have my model listed .... so the problem remains finding the right part(s) and detemining whether the inverter is bad. I get a dim image .... but because it when out all of a sudden I am wondering about the inverter .... is it possible to get a dim image if the inverter is bad?
  12. I need some help .... I'm a bit confused about this measuring method .... check it out Now I can see the metal ends on the lamp without removing the rubber ends .... if I can see the metal ends of the lamp why would I want to include one of the rubber ends in my measurement? Help
  13. Yeah I check them out .... even called them he gave me this part number .... MS20324 .... when I look it up it was a replacement for a laptop .... I guess my best bet is to measure .... it's 13" .... 33m .... so it would be 330mm? It can be shorter but not longer ... This place looks like the place to go ... so far ....
  14. Yes there are two small screws that hold the backlight in .... now I need to figure out the correct replacement .... any ideas ... so far I haven't been able to figure out a part number ....
  15. Good news! .... I found the backlights and figure out how to get them out. Using the diagram at the site link I posted I was able to get the monitor apart. I had to take the metal part housing the inverter off, but I did not remove the main cable. I found two very small screws near the wires that hook up to the backlights. I removed those wires and was able to simply and carefully pull out the two backlights .... one at the top the other at the bottom. Now all I need to do is figure out the correct replacement part. Any suggestions? I'm going to check those links for parts and see what I co
  16. I would like to get more information on how to check for power before doing anything like that. It might even be easier to replace it and see what happens. Besides I think it's the backlight that is the problem .... it fit the symtoms .... dim/fant picture .... ... does anyone know how or where I could get techinal or sevice data on the SyncMaster 151S (GG15LSVN) that would give info on how to remove the backlight(s)?
  17. Well I took my monitor apart .... had no problem finding the invertor, but finding/getting to the backlight is proving difficult. ... there are two strips of plastic on the top and bottom of the screen. There are connection wires that from each plastic strip that leads to the inverter, so I suppect there are possibly two backlights top and bottom. I don't see how to get to the backlight .... I believe they are in those plastic housing along the top and bottom of the screen, but I'm not sure how to get them out yet. The link I provide has great pictures on removing the inverter on a syncmaster
  18. Yes I plan to take it apart before ordering .... I know it has a three year warranty ..... less than 90 days after the warranty expires it goes bad on me ... I won't buy another samsung monitor .... I'll tell you that much ....
  19. Yes I found that! I was going to post it .... great information ... this is definitely worth my while to fix it myself .... I found this too check it out.... it has a lot of good info too .... still there is some question as whether it is the backlight or the invertor .... I can still see a dim image ... and it happen all of a sudden. Yesterday it was working fine .... today ... I have a volt meter but I don't know how to check the volt on the invertor or how much volt there should be ... I will check into this .... according to the one site I can fix the monitor for $20 ..... first I have
  20. I checked out samsung site and the only speak of a backlight .... according to the link in this thread the replacement of a backlight is delicate. I don't think it will be worth fixing if someone else has to do it ...
  21. Thanks much ...... can I get information on how to replace the part? Is it easy to do or does it require a tech? Also ..... which would it be that's bad .... the backlight or the inverter?
  22. There is no place I can get it besides ebay?
  23. Were can I get the part and info to install it?
  24. I have this samsung monitor .... I go to boot up the computer and I can bearly see the web page ..... this monitor is three years old .... I can't believe it has gone bad so quickly ..... I'm using a monitor that I got with my very first puter ..... my CRT monitors are still working ..... can there be anything done with the samsung or is it a lost cause?
  25. I just wanted to let all you good folks that help me with my burner, know that I sent the defective one back to newegg. I had to wait a couple of days after they recieved it while they tested the drive to confirm it was defective. Once that was done they sent me a replacement. I got it today and it was a matter of plug and play. I have updated the firmware and have burn a couple of disc .... no problems! If it's anything like it's sister the 800A it will be a fine burner. Thanks again for all your help. Problem Solved!
