"..and may The Force be with you too..."
well, actually, the bump mentioned in the newsletter IS caused by me.
I wrote a message about things I had to look at this week.
That was 106 and it never showed...
the episode I described wasn't fun.
guy was surfing during thunderstorm
Hell, I was surfing as well.
he got hit ( I jumped almost out of my chair by this enormous, almost out of the blue Thunderclap. It musta been one of them things Train described, cuz the guy lives 23 miles from here...)
I'll never know whether my system was in danger, but I suppose so.
I have a Belkin surgemaster II
(yep, I followed the advice I found in the thread)
The cable CO had installed coax protect earlier this year.
(I also had a FAX-modem hooked up to the Belkin, and nothing came thru here).
anyway,
this guy?
dead mobo, dead modem,
so I had to try rescue his data (and succeeded, but not without problems...)
he probably also has damage on the electronics of his two Hard disks, CDrom reader and a burner, all of which acted kinda screwy, so I assume they took a hit over the bus...
I saw memory errors aplenty...
(with NEW memory, mind you...)
It sure looks like testing his components in another machine put it in danger.
Well, It sure got unstable https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Anyway, I was lucky, the machine I tested his components in got back to normal after a hard CMOS reset and flash. Found newer BIOS so it may have done some good as well.)
he had to buy a complete system https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
conclusion was, GET a GOOD surgeprotector, and not something you pick up at 4 bucks in the supermarket

Hi,
surge protectors! Heres my thoughts.. anything unde 1000 joules isn't enough!! Woods makes ones for computers 1650 joules 3 outlets spaced for transformers 5 normal outlets and protection for phone lines. $29.00! $100,000.00 protection warrenty. when surge protector is used up the light goes out and it becomes a ordinary power strip! can't go wrong there! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Some of the good things in life are free! :) Cable Internet isn't one of them!!
I've emailed Housen again https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Really need to cut these threads off at 100 till a fix is found. (if there is a fix)
He might have to use the 33 thread as a test/fix thread which might make it go bye bye.
If you want me to close them to help preserve them, let me know via email.

I locked it per Train's request. The little http://discussions.virtualdr.com/yellockfolder.gif doesn't show on my machine. But if you go into it I can see Topic Closed message.
Steve
Thanks for locking it.
Actually that thread was done before we started having problems. Since have observed those problems start showing when the 3rd page is made. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Might want to pass that on.

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ That's right. I only answer those posts where I either know the answer, or can make an educated guess at the answer, or just guess the answer, or just make a snide or silly comment that has nothing to do with the answer. Very selective.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Hey Bistro,
I feel selectived
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
not pounced on
not singled out
---------------
the surgemaster II I got rate 1544 Joules
got that guy to buy one too, along with the new machine.
correction
the hit killing his puter did not occur at the time I thought it happened.
He didn't get hit at around 03.04AM like I thought, but around 00.44AM.
the clap I described was seen/felt/heard over half of the Flanders.
hehehe, The other half was on vacation https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
