How to Repair (Damaged/Broken) RAM Memory

RAM ....?

To repair or troubleshoot a memory module you should have to identify what are the problems in your memory. Example: Memory dump or Shorted Ram chip in Ram Card. Some failling Ram Chips make PC restarting or corrupt data during accessing hard disk drive. To solve this problems you can use memory testing software. If RAM card shorted or EEPROM damaged or it erased, then find same ram card or copy EEPROM or replace damaged chip.
Most RAM cards use 24C02 series EEPROMs. with I2C memory reader you can copy or read data in SDRAM DDRAM Cards. But beware when using a multimeter with 3V analog and don't use x1 ohms range with higher mA

If Some ICs are shorted, find same type of RAM chips and replace with a working one.
Here's some of work I did my own.

Find the faulty chip

After Desoldering

Before cleaning up the PCB

Capacitor and Inductor (L/C) meter

2010-05-10T21:48:00.010+05:30

Capacitor and Inductor Meter
Low cost L/C meter

Using L/C meter it is easy to troubleshoot faults in RF circuit. I had a problem with testing pF value in a clock circuit and oscillators. So I made this and it is very accurate and easy to build.

I replaced the 82uH inductor with 100uH and it works fine. I couldn't find Reed Relay and I replaced it with a 12v Relay with separate 12V regulator to power it.

To get a better performance, use sort wire to L/C connectors.

LC Meter's Inductance Measurement Ranges
10nH - 1000nH1uH -1000nH
1mH -100mH

LC Meter's Capacitance Measurement Ranges:
0.1pF - 1000pF
1nF - 900nF

Expected Accuracy is +/- 1% of reading +/- 0.1pF or +/- 10nH

Main part is PIC 16F84 and use JDM programmer.

How to test web hosting

2009-07-29T18:12:00.013+05:30

How to test and select best web hosting provider before buy?

The main purpose of Web hosting is not only hosting your html or some kind of pages from your hosting server. When some provider offers unlimited hosting and they will try to be stable and get some trafic much more.

If your idea is to host with world famous web hosting companies, they will provide some additional features and stable services for you. But we won't pay too much for same resources.

Some web hosting companies have 10GB, 1GB, Dedicated line and they offer your to your public uplink is 100Mbp/s and actively they will give it to your? Most cheep web hosting service providers purchase one IP with 100Mbp/s and one dedicated server and share that 100MB link with hundreds of websites. When some one's website using maxium bandwidth (100Mbp/s) others web sites cannot usable with that moment.

Most web hosting companies offer to test their bandwidth without registering.

How to protect your videos

2009-07-02T21:14:00.005+05:30

How to share your videos securely?

When you make a best animation or valuable video and you want to distribute with your permission. So you can log who can play and what number of copies you sell. The best way to do this is, if when someone want to play your video with one PC what he or she have to do is to purchase a license key that is valid only for one PC.

To do this, what you have to do in first place is to convert your files like wmv, avi, asf, mpg, rm, rmvb, mp4, flv, and vob to EXE or other protected file format.

MediaEncrypt

MediaEncrypt is one simple tool to make that protection happen. You can encrypt and protect them as .exe files, share those files with your phone number and mail address attached or you can customise auto activation server via internet.

E.g. :- When a user wants to play an encrypted file, the encrypted file will pop up a dialog box to request the user to enter a Playback Password. This dialog box will display the machine ID of the user's computer. The user can send his/her own machine ID to you(the author), and you can create a Play Password based on the user's machine ID. After that the user can use this Playback Password to play your file on his/her computer.

LIRC and winLIRC

2009-05-28T20:46:00.018+05:30

What is LIRC

LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls. With your Serial interface based infrared transmitter and receiver you can configure LIRC.

The most important part of the LIRC is decoding IR signals received by the device drivers and provide the information on a serial port. It will also accept commands for IR signals to be sent using an IR transmitter. It will also translate the decoded IR signals to mouse movements. In linux environment You can configure X to use your remote control as an input device.

The user space applications will allow you to control your computer with your remote controller. You can start programs and much more on just one button press with any remote controller.

The possible applications are obvious: Infra-red mouse, remote control for your TV tuner card or CD-ROM, shutdown by remote, program your VCR and/or satellite tuner with your computer, etc.

Make IR receiver for serial interface

Make IR transmitter for serial interface

Configure winLIRC

Download winLIRC from winlirc.sourceforge.net and unzip it.Find winlirc.exe and run exe. When you run that (in none configured) and you get an error saying that WinLIRC failed to initialize. Ignore it and click OK and go forward and it will open this window.

In winLIRC configuration window select your COM port and where your IR receiver is connected. Make configuration file to save your IR codes from your remote controllers. Click and browse where you want to make configuration file and type your file name with .cfg extension and click open.

To learn IR signals from your remote controller and make IR code configuration files to your universal IR remote controller or control your PC with remote controller click the learn button. Then you will get this message box.

"This will record the signals from your remote controller and create a config file for WinLIRC."

Input your remote controller's name and press enter. ("Desired margin of error for this remote? (1-99, enter=25)") enter for default value. Again just hit ENTER ("Gap and length?") . Now you will enter button programming section with "Press a Button" message .

Now you will get a message saying "press a button". Press one button and wait a second and press it again. Then you'll get a message "Baseline initialized". Now you have to press different 10 buttons and when you get the message "Enter button name" enter your button's name and learn all of your buttons of your remote.

After completing learn remote controller IR codes hit enter with blank to exit and click OK. click analyze from winLIRC configuration window and click OK. Now you finished IR learning mode. You can save that configuration file to use later with winLIRC. You can make collection of codes to make a Universal Infrared Remote Controller. Click OK from winLIRC configuration window and click "hide window". This will minimize the WinLIRC application to the system tray(the gray icon in your system tray), where WinLIRC listens to your remote IR commands. This indicates that WinLIRC is waiting for IR commands.

Now you can use winLIRC plug in for Winamp to controller Winamp or you can use Girder, pcremote, or rcontrol like software to control your PC. Try to use IR mouse emulator software.

After making the universal remote you can send codes from this software or use GUI programmable remote controller software.

Control your PC with an IR remote controller like of TV , DVD, VCR, SAT, etc...

Every manufacturer (Samsung, Sanyo, Sony. Hitachi, Philips etc..) use different IR code to communicate with IR devices. For an example :- Receiver determines that you pressed "Power" button by identifying the control as 0001 and "Vol +" 0010. That code contains with binary numbers (it have simply 1 and 0 :) ).

Controlling PC with an IR remote

You can make a simple serial port IR receiver to receive signals from any IR consumer remote control and learn various signals from many remote controllers. After you learned IR signals from your remote control, you can define what should happen when you press Power button on your remote. You can set up your remote controller to start a window or play songs or even mouse movement ( Your IR remote controller as an IR mouse). (Or you can buy remote with its receiver that comes with Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005 by making Microsoft rich)

IR Receiver for serial interface

2009-05-26T14:53:00.019+05:30

Making a simple IR receiver for serial port (RS232,COM)

For receiving infrared signals you have to get a photo module. First you have to determine what range of infrared signal you want to receive with your serial port.Examples for equipment with consumer standard IR devices are CD players, DVD players, TVs, VCRs, Cable Boxes, Receivers, Tape Decks, DVRs, home automation, etc.

This simple circuit receives IR signals using TSOP 1738 photo module. You can use any IR module for your choice. TSOP 17-XX, SFH 506-XX series is a compatible module to receive IR remote control signals from COM ports on CD player, DVD player, TV, VCR, Cable Box, Receiver, Tape Deck, DVR, home automation, etc.

Photo modules TSOP 1730, TSOP1733,TSOP 1736, TSOP 1737, TSOP 1738, TSOP 1740, TSOP 1756 or you can try your old broken DVD Player!, VCR, TV or anything that have an IR remote controller. It should have 3 pins and 5V. Study your the photo module to know how to attach that device and use that pin connections this circuit.

CISCO vs Open Networking with Vyatta

2009-04-07T08:46:00.005+05:30

Cisco is the worlds largest manufacturer of Routers, Switches and Firewalls. They sell their products and services for a higher price.

e.g.:

Cisco single-port Fast Ethernet NIC for $639
REALTEK Fast Ethernet NIC PCI Card just for $6 - $10.

What are the deferences between those hardware? They were made to do the same functions using same Standards (IEEE - ISO). Routing is a function not a hardware service. So Vyatta offers the customer to use open routing softwares and if you want you can use there hardware . It's simple. You can select what you want to do with your router.

Vyatta5 greatly expands Vyatta's security feature set, adding SSL-based OpenVPN, intrusion prevention system (IPS), and web URL filtering among many other improvements. When user chose Vyatta, the user's average cost savings are 50 to 80 percent. As IT professionals and network administrators around the globe are seeking affordable networking alternatives, they find that Vyatta delivers the features, performance, and services they need without the severe price-penalty of proprietary offerings.

Vyatta VC5 Features

OpenVPN

provides high levels of site-to-site and remote access security and great interoperability even in the presence of NAT, which protocols like IPSec find challenging

Antivirus

ClamAV and provides filtering of data objects retrieved through a number of different protocols

Web Caching

cache web objects so that they do not have to be retrieved multiple times by separate clients. This can help decrease WAN bandwidth requirements

URL Filtering

Vyatta can be configured to example all unencrypted web requests and filter requests using a categorization database and user-specified filtering policies

DNS Forwarding

Vyatta can be configured to act as a DNS proxy for clients receiving DNS server information via DHCP. This is most useful when DNS servers are specified to an organization from a service provider using DHCP and may change in the future

Dynamic DNS

Vyatta can be configured to register an refresh a DNS registration with a DynDNS service provider such as DynDNS.com. Multiple service providers are supported. This allows small business and home users with DHCP-addressed connections to receive inbound traffic to a DNS name.

Synchronous Serial Cards

Vyatta now provides full CLI support for Sangoma A142 and A144 synchronous serial cards. These cards provide support for external CSU/DSU using V.35, X.21, RS-422, or EIA530 interfaces. Previously, these cards could be configured in the system outside the CLI. This support adds full CLI support as with the current T1/E1, T3/E3, and DSL cards.

Experimental Support for Ethernet Link Bonding

Vyatta now allows users to configure multiple Ethernet links in a bonding group. This provides both increased performance and higher availability in the face of link failure. This feature is compatible with 802.3ad. Currently, this feature is experimental.

Experimental Support for 3G Modem

Vyatta now supports 3G USB wireless modems. This feature can provide a convenient wireless backup link in for remote Vyatta nodes.

Speed up your computer

2009-03-27T14:47:00.012+05:30

How to speed up your computer to get your work done fast?

Commonly people are think to change hardware components like CPU, RAM or motherboard to speed up their computers. But they forget Hard Disk is one of the main components that icreases speed of a computer(boot time, data flow, application access times). Are you using an IDE hard disk drive to boot your PC? If your answer is Yes here is the best way to speed up your PC.

1) which IDE cable are you using ?

To get the best performance you should use 80 conductor Ultra ATA cable. You should check your Mother board and BIOS capability before use it. Enable that Ultra-DMA feature on Windows Xp

Start - > Control Panel - > System -> and Open Device Manager from the Hardware tab
Double-click IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers to display the list of controllers and channels
Right-click the icon for the channel to which the device is connected, select Properties, and then click the Advanced Settings tab.
In the Current Transfer Mode drop-down box, select DMA if Available if the current setting is "PIO Only."If the drop-down box already shows "DMA if Available" but the current transfer mode is PIO you can change your cable 40 conductor to to 80 conductor cable if Motherboard can support to it

PIO and Ultra DMA Bandwidth

Mode_____Maximum Transfer Rate (MB/s)

PIO Mode 0_____3.3 MB/s

PIO Mode 1_____ 5.2 MB/s

PIO Mode 2_____ 8.3 MB/s

PIO Mode 3_____ 11.1 MB/s

PIO Mode 4_____ 16.7 MB/s

Ultra DMA Mode 0______16.7MB/s

Ultra DMA Mode 1_____ 25.0 MB/s

Ultra DMA Mode 2_____ 33.3 MB/s

Ultra DMA Mode 3_____ 44.4MB/s

Ultra DMA Mode 4_____ 66.7MB/s

Ultra DMA Mode 5_____ 100.0MB/s

Ultra DMA Mode 6_____ 133 MB/s

2) Selecting the best drive and best partition to install an operation system

You can use BartPE like software to make a live bootable Windows CD- ROM or download miniPE and test your hard drive bandwidth ( MBp/s ) . You can also use HD Tune 2.5.5.0 or HD_Speed for this. To get the best results, try to test without an OS on the Hard Drive which is to be tested.

3) Determine what is the best drive and Creating a bootable partition

Find best speed drive and you can use that to install OS. Check your speed result and if your drive starts with a low bandwidth you shouldn't use those areas. Arrange your partition following your drive test results and test your partition using HD_Speed software.

Sony VAIO 400GB USB pendrive

2009-03-25T21:31:00.005+05:30

A 400GB Pen drive! Can you believe it!

It it is unbelievable. I got this flash drive through a friend mine in Japan.
It is said that only 10 of them manufactured! (correct me if I'm wrong). It doesn't bear any other markings except Sony , VAIO logos and "400GB USB 2.0" engraved in metal casing. File system is FAT32 and it does't exactly contain 400GB. It consisted only 394GB approximately. The only drawback I encountered is that it cannot be formatted!. I tried every known methods of data destruction in the IT spectrum but ended in deadlock. I never found anything like this on the local market and on the internet. When I asked a local dealer about a 400GB pendrive they offered me a 400GB external hard drive. After I plugged in it to the dealers' machine he found out that his main storage is not as big as the flash drive. Finally about the video, sorry about my WebCam.

Split a large file into smaller chunks

What is HJSplit?

HJSplit is a popular set of freeware file-splitting programs created by Freebyte.com. Why we use program like HJSplit? HJSplit will enable you to split a large file into smaller chunks.

e.g:-

allows you to split a 10 Gb file (AVI,WMV,ASF,ISO or any file type) into 640 Mb parts, which can then be stored onto CD-Rom's by your CD-writer software. ??? Of course HJSplit can join these split parts back together again, so that the original file is restored.

file.* (100MB) = file.*.001 (10MB) , file.*.002 (10MB), .....

HJSplit is very reliable, simple, small and easy to use. It does not need any installation or complicated DLLs, it just consists of one '.exe' file. This means that you can also run it directly from a floppy or CD-Rom.

Manage your passwords in a secure way

2008-05-04T19:57:00.000+05:30

Too many passwords to remember?
Do you forget passwords?
Do you re-use passwords?
Do you keep passwords written down?

Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage's ftp password, online passwords (like CodeProject member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.

What is KeePass?

KeePass is a free/open-source password manager or safe which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.

Is it really free?

Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open-source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and for example check if the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.
