5 Most Awaited Smartphones of 2011

2010 will be remembered as the year when Android got serious and when smartphones got off their pedestal and became more approachable to the regular consumer. Here we list the five smartphones that look like they might define and shape the market in 2011.

LG Star

It looks like 2011 will be the year when smartphone specs will break many barriers. The rumored LG Star (aka Optimus 2X) is one such smartphone with a rumored 1GHz dual core processor (either Nvidia’s Tegra 2 or the ARM Cortex A9) and a 4-inch capacitive display with a resolution of 480x800 and color output of 16M colors. While leaked info claims that the Optimus 2X will be launching with Android 2.2 (Froyo), we won’t be surprised if it actually shows up with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Another thing that excites us about the 2X is its 8MP autofocus camera. Since LG phones have always impressed with their multimedia capabilities, it’s not hard to predict that the Optimus 2X’s camera will be very good. The LG is also supposed to have an HDMI port to output 720p videos and will most certainly support playback of XviD/DivX videos.

When it’s expected: While most sources say that it should be revealed by LG in January, a safer bet would be the first quarter of 2011.

Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone

This could just be the biggest game-changer of them all. While the iPhone has certainly given a huge impetus to quality mobile gaming, the rumored PlayStation phone from Sony Ericsson could be the device that completely erases the line between phones and handheld gaming devices. While rumors started coming out in August about the PlayStation phone, further information has trickled through gradually. However, whatever we have learnt so far is quite enough to make us seriously excited about this phone. Things like actual dedicated hardware gaming controls and 3.7-inch display to watch the action on sound great on paper. Add to that a 1GHz processor, Android 2.3 OS and a 5MP camera make the PlayStation phone look like a one stop device for all your mobile entertainment needs.

When it’s expected: Since the phone already seemed to be a tangible one back in August, we expect it to be revealed in the first quarter and most probably at February’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Nokia E7

The Nokia E7 was announced back in September and for once we have plenty of information on it. If you are Symbian fan and want an alternative to the Nokia N8 with a focus on productivity over multimedia, then you should look forward to the E7. That doesn’t mean that the E7 skimps on multimedia features, in fact its specs sheet would put plenty of smartphones to shame. Specs such as a 4-inch AMOLED display, an 8MP camera (which is unfortunately fixed-focus like the C7) and HDMI out look really good. Add to that a huge four-row slide-out keyboard and Nokia’s traditionally excellent design and build quality and you have a contender in the E7 for one of the better smartphones to come out in 2011.

When it’s expected: Taking into consideration the time Nokia usually takes to launch a product after announcing it; the E7 should make its way into stores in January.

Apple iPhone 5

Apple has said absolutely nothing about the iPhone 5 but it’s virtually assured that there will be a new iPhone in 2011. Of course, that hasn’t stopped rumors and leaks from surfacing and it looks like Apple will be making certain changes to the iPhone 4 but nothing drastically game changing. Leaked images of what is purported to be the iPhone 5 show a curved back like on the iPhones before the iPhone 4, with a metal bezel extending to the front. Also, the menu button will now be a touch sensitive one rather than the round physical button the iPhone sports now. Other improvements that the iPhone 5 is supposed to have include- a faster 1.2 GHz processor, more memory and a larger 3.7-inch display. Why are we excited? It’s a goddamned new iPhone; I think it’s pretty much mandatory for tech journalists to get excited.

When it’s expected: Rumors put the launch date anywhere from January to December. We are more inclined to believe that the Apple iPhone 5 will show up in the second quarter during the summer months.

Samsung Galaxy S 2

The best Android smartphone in the market today will get a successor in 2011, if rumors are to be believed. The Samsung Galaxy S 2 is supposed to have a 2GHz dual-core processor and a Near Field Communications (NFC) chip that will make it possible to use your phone as a credit card. The Galaxy S 2 will probably run on Android 2.3 and will have a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED 2 display, 1GB of RAM, 4GB ROM, 32GB of internal support along with support for microSD cards up to 32GB, an 8MP camera that can record 720p videos and Bluetooth 3.0 support. By all accounts, the Galaxy S 2 looks like it will give netbooks a run for their money and we like that.

When it’s expected: Samsung is expected to reveal the Galaxy S 2 at the Mobile World Congress in February.

iPad 2 to have new speakers and a flat back

iPad 2 to have new speakers and a flat back
More rumors about the second generation of iPad flood the internet again. Earlier this month, there were rumors about iPad 2 having two cameras. Now, we have a few new rumors, coming straight from Japan, from the blog MacOtakara. The blog says that the rumors may not be true, but they surely are interesting.

The blog says that the frame or the case of the iPad will shave off 3mm to make it smaller. But the display will be of the same size. The overall dimension of the iPad will be reduced from 242.8mm to 239mm (height) and 189.7mm to 186mm (width). This will surely make a change, will feel kind of small. And another big thing is the rear part of the tablet. We have a bulge at the rear now. The new model is rumored to be flat at the rear. This will be really good.

Now, if the tablet is placed on a table and you try to use it, it wobbles each time you tab on the display. This is completely irritating. Probably, if this particular rumor is true, it will be very good if you are at your study/work table and work on the tablet with one hand and drink coffee with the other. No more wobbling.

The next, and which also would be a very welcome change is of new speakers on the iPad. There is an image showing this off, which is a rendering by Taiyo Fujii for MacOtakara. I’ve added the picture below. This looks good now as the casing is also changed. Also, the speakers are said to me more loud and bigger than the previous model’s. We have to see the performance now.

We also saw in the previous rumor that the next version of the iPad will also have two cameras, one at the back and one at the front. The back camera may be the same camera which is on iPhone 4. The front facing camera, which can be used for video calling and taking self portraits, would probably with a VGA or a 1.3MP camera.

As these still remain rumors, there is another rumor that the second generation iPad is already in the production line and the shipping will start from next month. So Apple can surprise us in any way. Lets hope if not all, most of the rumors get true.

Dell Inspiron iM501R Laptop Review

Dell Inspiron iM501R Laptop
The Dell Inspiron iM501R laptop is one of the coolest laptops of the month. The configuration is good, and gives good performance as well. The price is proper, something like value for money. The configuration of the laptop is as follows.

Processor : AMD Phenom II Quad-Core Mobile processor
Memory : 4GB3 1,333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
Chipset : AMD M880G Chipset
Graphics Standard : ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Operating System : Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Display : 15.6" Widescreen HD glossy WLED display with TrueLife Panel (1,366x768)
Hard Disk : 500GB3, 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Speakers : SRS Premium Sound - 2 speakers @ 2W
Optical Drives : Internal 12.7" Tray-Load DVD+/-RW
Power : 2.2AHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Battery
Price at the time of review : $819.99

The laptop runs on an AMD processor. I’ve been using an AMD laptop for like two years now, and an Intel desktop PC for almost the same time. Both are comparable when it comes to the processors they have, but I get a lot better performance from the laptop, which runs on an AMD chip. No offense Intel, but I’ve lot interest in you. The PC tends to become sluggish after a time.

But there are drawbacks with AMD as well, first is the well known heating issue. The laptop gets heated up in no time, its true. I use a cooling pad under my laptop for the reason. But the performance you get is of no match. Anyway, the processor in this case is a Phenom II quad-core processor, which is a lot similar to Intel’s i5. Not at all a bad choice.

Coming to the memory, it has 4GB DDR3 installed, no issues here as well. Its a lot for anything you can possibly do. Also, the frequency of the memory is 1,333 MHz. With this comes the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 dedicated graphics card of up to 1GB. Seriously, if you are not a hard core gamer, this is some serious configuration for the price you are going to pay.

Its got a 500GB hard disk in it, so you can get all the stuff you need inside your laptop. If you are a movies or music buff, like me, then you can enjoy it with the beautiful 15.6” HD widescreen TrueLife display and the built in stereo speakers which produce 2W each and have premium SRS sound. Sweet, isn’t it?

With this being the main area of interest, you have all the other usual ports and stuffs. You even have a 7-in-1 card reader. But one disappointing this is that the laptop has only one line out jack, that is the head phone jack. Most laptops started shipping with two of these and one mic in ports like years back. I dont know why this has only one line out port.

There are all the kinds of wireless connectivity options that are standard. You can have different color options and a bit change in the config as well, it depends on your needs. If you are satisfied with this, you can buy Dell Inspiron iM501R laptop now for $819.99 from The Tech Check Store. Other options of similar laptops are also given below.

Nokia BH-218 Review

Nokia BH-218
Nokia Corporation, is a Finnish based multinational communications corporation. The company is involved in manufacturing the mobile devices and also in converging the internet and the communications industries. It is also the largest manufacturer of the mobile phones in the entire world. The company also manufactures Bluetooth headsets and other accessories. The release of the company’s N8 handset has hid all the other devices that are being let out by Nokia in the market. The BH-218 is one of the latest headsets released by Nokia. It has almost all of the necessary features. It carries the same features as the previous headset from Nokia, the BH-217.

Specifications

* Dimensions: 54 x 19 x 13.8 mm
* Weight: 13.8 grams
* Connectors: 2 mm charger connector interface
* Operating Range: 10 m (Bluetooth)
* Power supply: 70 mAh rechargeable lithium ion polymer battery
* Talk time: 8 hours (Bluetooth)
* Stand by time: 3 months when the earpiece is in the clip; 150 hours when it is not in the clip
* Charging time: 2 hours
* Features: DSP noise reduction, automatic volume adjustment, voice prompts
* Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR
* Package contents: BH-218 Bluetooth headset, Nokia charger AC-3, earplugs (S and L), user guide
* Price: $50

Design

The BH-218 headset has an unconventional design with a separate clip in order to make it have a clip on type of design. The headset possesses a single ear bud that is attached with a cable. Though the design is unusual, it is highly convenient and comfortable to use in most of the cases. The headset turns on and off automatically whenever the ear piece is taken away from the clip. This will definitely boost the battery life to a large extent. The design of the BH-218 is alone different from that of the BH-217. All the other features are the same. The clip of the headset is slim and minimalistic with an answer or end key alone. The company logo is also found on the clip. The cable that connects the ear bud is a controversial design element of the headset as it is found to dangle from the clip and it has to be hid to obtain a better fit after a call is over. There is a tiny plastic part with the mute switch and the microphone on the cable. The volume rocker would be a terrible lack in the beginning but it goes off after getting aware about the automatic volume adjustment. The ear bud offers a nice and comfortable fit just as the regular ear buds.

Features

The BH-218 headset is a always ready for use. It can be quickly turned on by picking up the ear piece. It automatically gets connects as soon as the ear piece is taken out of the clip. It has a stand by time of up to 3 months, provided the ear piece is stored on the clip itself. The users can benefit more from the headset as it produces excellent call quality with the built in DSP noise reduction feature. The microphone is also in built in the cable for the high voice quality. The headset has the Advanced Multipoint feature which allows the users to connect it to a maximum of two devices simultaneously. It is also equipped with the Adaptive volume adjustment which compensates for the lack of the volume rocker. The voice prompts are also present in the headset to provide guidance during the Bluetooth pairing process and in the indication of the battery and connection status.

Performance

The headset can be simply powered on by taking the ear bud off the clip. The headset flashes blue when it is ready for the pairing process. There are absolutely no issues in connecting the headset with an iPhone or with a Nokia handset. The multipoint feature is surely a benefit for the users who tend to use different handsets. The headset detects the handset that receives a call at first. The voice prompts that indicates the status of the battery and the connection is also quite useful. The headset supports the headset profile and the hands-free profile. The volume adjustment takes place quickly as well as accurately. The headset is highly good in performance when used in noisy environments. The call quality is clear and the callers can hear us clearly despite of the noise. The callers sound natural and cleat and they can hear us loud enough. The headset has a talk time of 8 hours and a charging time of 2 hours. The headset has a battery life that is quite on par with that claimed by the company.

Conclusion

The BH-218 is an inexpensive headset costing nearly around $50 when compared with the headset series of Nokia. It has some unconventional design aspects and it is quite easy to handle once the user is capable of managing the dangling cable. The headset offers excellent call quality and a comfortable fit. These two aspects are the main features that are expected out of a Bluetooth headset. Pros – excellent call quality and unconventional design. Cons – dangling cable and quiet sound output.

Cara memperbaiki file yang rusak di Windows XP

Jika windows atau komputermu mengalami suatu masalah, misalkan ada file yang rusak di windows xp mu, cobalah langkah sederhana ini. Dan kamu tidak harus menginstall ulang windowsmu. Kamu hanya memerlukan sistem operasi windows xp dan sebuah cd instalasi windows xp yang banyak dijual di glodok (bukan promosi).
Nah, langkahnya seperti dibawah ini:

1. masukan CD Windows XP mu

2. klik Start --> Run --> lalu ketik “sfc /scannow” (tanpa kutip)

3. Klik OK

Langkah selanjutnya biarkan windowsmu memperbaiki dirinya sendiri.

Cara melihat ekstensi file dan merenamenya

Bagaimana jika kita ingin melihat ekstensi file? Ektensi file atau beberapa orang menyebutnya Format file adalah sebuah identitas dari file tersebut. Misalkan kamu memiliki file yang bericon file ms-word, sudah bisa dipastikan bahwa file kamu berektensi *.doc atau mungkin *.rtf. Bagaimana cara saya mengetahui hal tersebut?
Coba perhatikan langkah-langkah berikut ini:

1. Buka Control Panel (start --> control panel)

2. Pada Contol Panel, klik Appearance and Themes

3. Kemudian klik Folder Options

4. Buka Tab View, uncheck (hapus tanda check) pada bagian Hide extension for know file types

5. Klik OK

Lihat pada salah satu file ms-wordmu, kamu akan melihat ekstensi filemu seperti ini: Nama_File.doc atau Nama_File.rtf

Lalu bagaimana kita merename ekstensi file tersebut? Caranya hanya klik kanan pada file yang ingin kamu rubah file ekstensinya kemudian pilih Rename, ganti teks yang berada dibelakang tanda titik misalkan Nama_File.txt menjadi Nama_File.doc atau Nama_File.rtf.

Peringatan! Jika kamu mengganti ekstensi file sesuka-sukamu maka hasilnya akan tidak mengenakan. Misalkan merubah Nama_File.txt menjadi Nama_File.bau, file tersebut yang seharusnya bisa dibuka dengan Notepad, malah tidak bisa dibuka sama sekali dan akan ada sebuah message box yang bertuliskan bahwa windows tidak bisa membuka file ini dan meminta anda untuk mencari software yang tepat untuk membukanya.

File berjenis *.exe bisa kamu ganti dengan *.scr atau *.com atau *.pif. Jika kamu merubah file *.exe mu menjadi *.pif, maka icon filemu akan berubah sama halnya jika kamu merubah file *.exe mu menjadi *.com. Dan saya tidak menyarankan anda untuk mengubah ekstensi file walaupun hanya coba-coba kecuali jika kamu sudah cukup mengerti dalam hal memperbaiki kesalahan yang kamu buat.

Dan jika settingan di komputermu bisa melihat ekstensi file, saya sarankan untuk mengulangi langkah diatas dengan sedikit perubahan di nomor 4 (uncheck menjadi check). Jika kamu tetap membiarkan settingan komputermu tetap seperti itu, saya ingatkan untuk hati-hati dalam me-Rename file, karena jika kamu me-Rename file dengan keadaan seperti itu, maka sudah bisa dipastikan ekstensi file mu akan ikut ter-Rename juga, saran saya adalah jika kamu merename file mu dengan settingan pada komputermu tetap seperti itu, blok teks yang hanya ada didepan tanda titik kerena yang dibelakang titik adalah ekstensi filemu.

Adding more to this already great device, ASUS is adding a Blu-ray drive and a dedicated graphics card in the form of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460m 1.5GB GDDR5 graphics card. The G73SW is available online for a price somewhere between $2,500 and $2,700. In addition to the G73SW news has also trickled out about the more compact G53SW.

Review Laptop HP Compaq CQ 515, Laptop Murah yang Bisa untuk Game Berat



Kualitas casing cq 515 sangat standar dan tipis jikA di pegang sangat seperti plastik dan terasa murahan tidak kokohhh

casing nya pun sepertinya gampang di baret,gw ga yakin bisa mulus dengan pemakaian standar

score 5.0

layar cq 515 lumayan tajam dan punya tingkat contrast yang tinggi bisa
di lihat perbandingannya dengan asus koin gw yang sama sama set
brightness full

layar koin lebih terang tp kalah di bagian contrast nya

score 7.5

keyboard nya hampir menyamai keyboard pc dengan tombol yang ga mendep
ke dalam kaya asus koin dan letaknya tidak terlalu kedalam mendekat ke
layar,feed back nya pun cukup bagus

score : 7.0

speaker : hanya mono tp kualitasnya lumayan baik tidak bagus dan tida jelek

score : 6.0

panas : ventilasi besar ada di sebelah kiri dan udaara yang di
keluarkan tidAK TERLALU PANAS tetapi setelah 1 jam cukup panas di
bagian atas touch pad

perfoma : untuk meng un compress winrar dan multi tasking kemampuanya
cukup cepat dan hampir tidak kerasa perbedaan nya dengan asus koin 21
dx gw

(processor athlon x2 ql 64 dengan 3gb ram dual channel)

gaming : sangat pas pas an sekali dan harus menggunakan low baik
resolution dan detail untuk game seperti left 4 dead,di res 720p semua
high fps yang di dapat turun drastis sekitar 15-24,kemampuan vga nya
sama dengan acer 4535 yang menggunakan buswidth sebesar 32 bit

score : 5.5

berat : ringan kira kira 2kg pas

paket pembelian : hanya tas tanpa mouse dan drivernya copyan bukan resmi dari hp

touchpad : sama seperti casing nya terasa murahan dan kurang enAK untuk di pakai

score : 5.5

kesimpulan :

kelebihan dengan harga kurang lebih 5jtaan notebook ini menawarkan perfoma dan spek yang cukup tangguh

liat saja processor amd ql 64-x2 dengan perfoma yang perfomanya lumayan bagus dan juga laptop ini

juga support dual channel selain itu memiliki webcam di mana di website official tidak tertulis ada webcam,

yang mengagetkan dvdrw nya support lightscribe,laptopt gw aja yang notabene lebih mahal ga support loh.

layar yang contrast nya tajam merupakan satu nilai tambah juga,mungkin
berkaitan dengan penggunaan kartu grafis ati radeon 3200 hd yang

memperkuat bagian grapfis laptop ini dengan perfoma sangat bagus untuk htpc dan lumayan untuk casual gaming

berat yang ringan dan dimensi nya yang kecil dari latop 14 inch kebanyakan juga merupakan kelebihan laptop ini

kekurangan : ya cukup bisa di maapkan untuk sebuah latop murah,kekurangan paling utama yaitu kualitas casing

nya yang sangat murahan dan tipis serta keliatan tidak kokoh hal ini
juga berpengaruh ke touch pad nya yang juga kurang enak di pakai.

panas yang lumayan di touch pad akan mengurangi kenyamanan ber laptop
ria,port usb yang di sebelah kiri akan mnembuat kita terasa kidal

jika menggunakan usb mouse,speakernya pun masih berada pas di depan
layar.untuk spek laptop ini masih menggunakan wifi G dan belum support
N

dan baterai nya yang hanya max 2 jam untuk standar serta 1 jam untuk gaming

jika memang butuh laptop murah dengan fitur all round mungkin laptop cq ini merupakan pilihan anda dengan fitur yang lumayan

sudah memberikan perfoma yang cukup untuk office maupun gaming tapi
tetep dengan beberapa kekurangan seperti kualitas casing dan baterai
yang jelek

harus di pikir pikir lagi untuk anda yang sering mobile

Menyembunyikan file/folder dengan WinMend Folder Hidden

Disini kita akan mencoba mereview kemampuan yang dimiliki WinMend Folder Hidden ini, seberapa aman data yang disembunyikan.


Peringatan : Selalu ingat password ketika kita menggunakan software semacam ini. Karena jika password-nya lupa, kemungkinan akan sulit untuk mengakses datanya kembali.

WindMend Folder Hidden merupakan program gratis/freeware yang mampu menyembunyikan file dan folder secara cepat baik di partisi lokal maupun di removable drive seperti Flash disk, Hardisk Eksternal dan lainnya.

File/folder yang disembunyikan akan tetap tersembunyi meskipun data diakses dari komputer lain atau dari sistem operasi lainnya baik di komputer tersebut atau dari komputer lain. Untuk mengakses data-data tersebut diperlukan program dengan password yang benar.

Fitur selengkapnya ( dari deskripsi di situs WinMend Folder Hidden )

* Safety First, teknologi yang digunakan tidak merusak file atau data dan tetap mempertahankan keamanan dan reliabilitas.
* High-Speed Hiding and Unhiding, mampu memproses data secara cepat (instant) mneskipun datanya banyak atau ber-GB (GigaByte).
* Support Removable Drives, mampu menyembunyikan dile/folder di removable drive seperti USB Flash Disk, Hardisk Eksternal dan lainnya. Dan data ini juga tidak terlihat di komputer lainnya.

winmend-folder-hidden

Penggunaan WindMend Hidden Folder

Penggunaan program ini relatif mudah, setelah di download kemudian install seperti biasa. Setelah selesai, maka pada tampilan awal aka muncul dialog untuk memasukkan password (panjang 6-15 huruf), yang nantinya akan digunakan untuk menyembunyikan/membuka data. Masukkan password tersebut 2 kali.

winmend-folder-hidden-pasw

Setelah itu kita akan masuk ke tampilan halaman utama, yang selanjutnya kita bisa menambahkan file/folder yang akan disembunyikan. Menghapus daftar yang sudah ada dan mengganti password lama.

Kelemahan WinMend Folder Hidden ( Perlu diwaspadai )

Sebelumnya saya ingin merekomendasikan program ini mengingat kemampuannya untuk menyembunyikan data di removable drive, semisal USB Flash. Tetapi setelah saya mencoba, mengetes dan menganalisa, ada satu kelemahan yang saya lihat.

Memang file/folder menjadi tidak terlihat, tetapi saya lihat file/folder sebenarnya disembunyikan di folder yang namanya Recycled. Ketika kita membuka folder ini kita tidak akan melihat isinya. Tetapi jika folder ini di Delete atau dihapus, bisa menjadi musibah. Folder Recycled-nya sendiri memang tidak akan terhapus, tetapi isinya akan terhapus, sehingga data-data kita yang di sembunyikan tidak akan dapat diakses (terhapus juga).

Hal itu juga mencakup ketika kita menyembunyikan data di hardisk. Data sebenarnya sepertinya dipindah/disimpan di folder RECYCLER, sehingga ketika ada orang yang menghapus folder ini, data akan ikut terhapus. Melihat hal ini, jika masih memerlukan software semacam ini, lebih baik menggunakan Hide Folders.

Cara mengganti hardisk laptop

Dalam tutorial ini saya akan memberikan cara mengganti hard drive laptop. Persoalan berat sering terjadi bahwa hard drive laptop rusak, sudah beli tapi pasangnya gimana? Beberapa orang hanya ingin meng-upgrade hard drive mereka ke yang lebih besar. Apapun alasannya, satu yang pasti adalah Anda harus membuka laptop Anda. Membuka casing laptop tidak semudah membuka casing Desktop. Selain harus lebih hati-hati juga lumayan rumit. Dibawah ini saya akan berikan tutorial mengganti hard drive pada laptop, yang saya harapkan bisa membantu Anda.

1. Taruh sepotong busa atau handuk di atas meja dan kemudian letakkan laptop Anda diatasnya secara terbalik. Pelapis ini bertujuan supaya laptop Anda tidak tergores.
2. Sekarang cari kompartemen hard drive pada laptop Anda. Penutup hard drive biasanya terletak di bagian bawah laptop atau di samping. Beberapa laptop memiliki simbol hard drive pada penutup untuk membantu mengidentifikasi tempat yang tepat.
3. Setelah Anda menemukan lokasi hard drive laptop, ambil obeng dan buka penutup hard drive. Setelah membuka sekrup kemudian angkat tutupnya.
4. Sekarang Anda akan dapat melihat hard drive. Tergantung pada produsen laptop Anda, silakan angkat drive keluar dengan hati-hati.
5. Setelah mengambil hard drive keluar Anda akan tahu bahwa kebanyakan drive laptop memiliki tempat atau casing tersendiri sehingga Anda masih harus membukanya dari casingnya.
6. Sekarang ambil hard drive baru dan masukkan kedalam casing yang sudah kosong. Hati-hati dalam mengencangkan sekrupnya.
7. Masukkan disk drive ke dalam laptop dan geser ke dalam konektor.
8. Sekarang pasang cover dan pasang juga sekrup penutupnya. Selesai.

Tips:

* Jangan meletakkan hard drive anda di dekat magnet karena dapat merusak drive laptop
* Beberapa sekrup laptop memiliki desain yang unik jadi pastikan Anda memiliki obeng sekrup yang tepat sebelum memulai instalasi.
* Jangan menekan drive laptop terlalu keras karena dapat merusak hard drive. Jika anda harus meletakkan tekanan,lakukannya dengan memegang sisi drive.

Cara mengatasi USB device not recognize

Bila Anda menggunakan perangkat USB di Windows, Windows akan memuat dan menginstal driver perangkat lunak untuk berkomunikasi dengan perangkat USB baru. Banyak driver perangkat USB standar yang disertakan dengan Windows XP, lebih-lebih pada Windows Vista dan Windows 7. Tetapi jika perangkat USB tidak diterima oleh Windows, Anda akan melihat pesan USB device not recognized atau USB tidak terdeteksi.


Lihat pesan seperti di bawah;


USB not recognized

Solusi sementara adalah Anda dapat mencabut perangkat USB, tunggu beberapa detik dan pasang kembali, tetapi kemungkinan kesalahan akan tetap terulang. Perhatikan contoh lain dibawah ini;


USB tidak terdeteksi


Dalam kasus hard disk eksternal ditolak seperti gambar diatas, Anda juga bisa mendapat pesan kesalahan seperti berikut:



One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned,

and Windows does not recognize it.



Bagaimana Mengatasi USB device not recognized


Mengingat fakta bahwa dalam banyak kasus driver perangkat USB biasanya hilang dari Windows, solusi umum untuk memperbaiki perangkat USB yang tidak terdeteksi adalah dengan menginstal ulang driver untuk perangkat USB. Dalam kebanyakan kasus perangkat USB baru akan disertai dengan CD driver yang berisi driver USB yang harus diinstal. Jika Anda tidak memiliki CD driver, Anda dapat mencoba untuk mencari dan mendownload driver perangkat USB pada situs web produsen.



Jika Anda benar-benar tidak dapat menemukan driver untuk perangkat USB, Anda dapat menggunakan program driver finder. Program tersebut akan menemukan dan download driver perangkat pada PC berdasarkan hardware yang secara otomatis diidentifikasi. Bahkan jika perangkat USB Anda tidak terhubung lagi, aplikasi akan mampu menemukan dan men-download driver USB tersebut.


Bila Anda memiliki CD driver, adalah bijaksana jika Anda sering mengupdate driver untuk mendapatkan versi driver terbaru untuk perangkat USB Anda. Driver pada CD sangat sering ketinggalan jaman dan driver yang diperbarui dapat memecahkan masalah, meningkatkan kinerja dan menambah fitur.



Manfaat kedua program pencari driver adalah dapat memperbarui semua driver usang pada sistem Anda. Ini berarti bahwa sistem atau chipset driver juga akan diperbarui, termasuk driver chipset USB pada motherboard Anda. Ini juga bisa memecahkan perangkat USB yang ditolak windows.


Metode lain untuk USB device not recognized


Apabila update driver USB tidak memecahkan masalah perangkat USB tidak diterima windows, ada beberapa hal lainnya yang dapat Anda coba untuk mengatasi kesalahan.



  • Jika perangkat USB menggunakan kabel USB yang terpisah, coba gantu kabel untuk memastikan bahwa kabel USB tidak rusak.


  • Periksa opsi konfigurasi pada perangkat itu sendiri dalam komputer, misalnya jangan-jangan ada setting yang menyebabkan hal itu. Terutama untuk perangkat USB eksternal seperti Mass Storage Device, pemeriksaan konfigurasi biasanya dapat memecahkan masalah.

  • Periksa BIOS komputer Anda untuk memastikan port USB telah dikonfigurasi dengan benar. Kebanyakan perangkat USB baru bekerja paling baik dengan konfigurasi USB 2.0, namun dalam beberapa kasus, Anda mungkin perlu mengubah USB untuk “warisan” dukungan, yang berarti versi 1.1.

  • Nonaktifkan manajemen daya dari hub USB di komputer Anda. Hal ini terkadang dapat membantu dengan perangkat USB tertentu.

  • Pada Device Manager, klik kanan perangkat Universal Serial Bus controller dan pilih Uninstall dalam menu popup. Sekarang reboot komputer dan Windows akan menginstal ulang perangkat USB.

  • Jika Anda menggunakan hub USB, coba memasukkan perangkat USB langsung ke komputer bukan dari hub USB. USB hub sering menimbulkan masalah kompatibilitas dengan perangkat USB tertentu.

  • Cobalah mematikan komputer sama sekali dan cabut dari catu daya listrik. Tunggu beberapa menit sebelum plugging kembali lagi dan mulai start komputer.

  • Hapus kunci registri yang terkait pada “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Enum USB” dari registri Windows. Setiap perangkat USB memiliki sebuah entri di sana dimulai dengan “VID_”. Cari entri yang berhubungan dengan perangkat USB Anda dan kemudian menghapusnya. HATI-HATI dengan trik yang ini !!! Backup dulu registri Anda.

  • Khusus untuk Windows XP, ada solusi lain mungkin yang terkait dengan Registry Windows. Ini merupakan menghapus nilai-nilai LowerFilters dan UpperFilters registri. Microsoft memiliki artikel basis pengetahuan tentang cara untuk melakukan ini.


  • Dalam kasus perangkat USB tidak terdeteksi dan tidak ada pesan, maka kemungkinan yang rusak adalah port USB atau drive USB eksternal Anda.

Salah satu kesalahan di bawah ini atau kombinasi dari kedua kesalahan dapat ditampilkan pada pesan STOP:

    * “STOP: 0x0000008E”

    Pesan error STOP 0x0000008E mungkin juga disingkat sebagai STOP 0x8E tapi kode STOP penuh akan selalu ditampilkan pada layar pesan STOP yang biasanya berwarna biru.

    Penyebab Kesalahan STOP 0x0000008E

    4. Kembalikan pengaturan BIOS ke posisi standar mereka. Overclocked atau pengaturan memori terkonfigurasi di BIOS telah diketahui dapat menyebabkan kesalahan 0x0000008E STOP.
    5. Terapkan semua Windows update yang tersedia. Beberapa service pack dan patch lainnya telah secara khusus ditujukan untuk mengatasi masalah STOP 0x0000008E. Catatan: Ini merupakan solusi khusus untuk memecahkan masalah Anda jika pesan STOP 0x0000008E disertai dengan menyebutkan win32k.sys atau wdmaud.sys, atau jika itu terjadi ketika membuat perubahan pada akselerasi hardware pada Video Card Anda. Jika STOP 0x0000008E error diikuti oleh 0xc0000005, seperti dalam STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, x, x, x) dll, paket layanan terbaru Windows kemungkinan akan memperbaiki masalah Anda.
    6. Apakah Anda baru saja memasang hardware baru atau membuat perubahan pada beberapa perangkat keras atau driver hardware? Jika demikian, ada kemungkinan bahwa perubahan yang Anda buat menyebabkan kesalahan STOP 0x0000008E. Membatalkan perubahan yang Anda buat dan uji kembali error 0x8E layar biru itu. Tergantung pada apa perubahan yang Anda buat, beberapa solusi mungkin mencakup:
    1. Buka lalu pasang kembali atau mengkonfigurasi ulang perangkat keras yang baru diinstal.

    Digital Storm's New xm15 Gaming Laptop

    xm15 Gaming LaptopDigital Storm has just announced their newest product, the xm15, a powerful new lightweight laptop based on NVIDIA's Optimus Hybrid Technology. The xm15 is a different kind of laptop that delivers targeted, extreme performance when you need it so you will always enjoy longer operation without losing the ability to enjoy the visual intensity of HD movies, multimedia applications, web surfing and gaming.

    This laptop delivers high graphics for a variety of multimedia content due to NVIDIA's powerful GT 425M 1GB video card. By utilizing NVIDIA's Optimus Hybrid technology, this laptop can defer operation to a second separate integrated Intel graphics processor for less intensive applications. This switch happens automatically and seamlessly meaning that there is no interruption in operation.

    By increasing `nd decreasing performance whenever necessary, the xm15 is able to extend battery life exponentially. The powerful video card in this device makes it not surprising at all that the xm15 has a 1080p HD LED screen that is capable of producing some truly incredible images.

    The xm15 puts your benchmark tests to shame as well. It routinely scores above 7200 on 3DMark06 which puts it in the upper levels of laptop performance. Thanks to a built-in light speed eSATA and USB 3.0 transfer ports, you will never have to be tethered to stagnant bulk data. In addition to that, the xm15 comes with a built-in HDMI and VGA outputs, which means it can be taken anywhere and displayed everywhere.

    According to Rajeev Kuruppu, Digital Storm's Director of Product Development, "The power demands of high performance laptops have always put a strain on battery life. With the development of NVIDIA's Optimus Hybrid Technology, we're finally able to design an affordable laptop that can handle graphics intensive applications. Our xm15 is the ideal solution for customers who want to consume graphically rich multimedia content, game or just browse the internet...it's truly a hybrid in every definition of the word."

    Full specs of the xm15 consist of a 2.4GHz Core i5-520M, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 320GB HDD and NVIDIA's 425M 1GB graphics card for a base rate of $999. You can also increase your build to have a 2.53GHz Core i5-540M for $1,086 or a 2.8GHz Core i7-640M for $1,367.
