Life is not this simple all the time. When life gives you a hard time its very challenging to overcome it.

Gadgets play a very important role in our daily life. We don't realise that a gadget made our life alot easier than it really is. But what when a gadget backfires? It stops working when we needed it the most.

I put up a question, what if your computer's keyboard stops working? But this time I'll put you in a difficult situation. Just imagine you need to send an urgent email and your keyboard stops working and you don't have all the time to get to a store and buy a new one. Ever thought this way?

There is a virtual keyboard in computer, but there are many computer users who are unaware of this, because we never needed it. Its a very useful feature in our computer and can come handy in tricky situations. You can type with mouse using window's "on-screen keyboard".

Test ram slot voltage with digital multimeter

To check any component's voltage on computer motherboard using digital multimeter, first you need to know some informations about how to use a multimeter. We are talking about computers so I'll guide you about that because with a multimeter you can check many other devices aswell.

Warning : If any kid reading this, please don't try this at home. 

Connect the black wire of the multimeter in the port marked as com on the multimeter and insert the other red wire just above the Com port. Multimeter has a digital screen and a regulator. Around the regulator there are few sections, each for measuring different things like AC current, DC current, resistance etc., because we are talking about computers here, we'll focus on DC current section.


DC current section marked as 200m, 2000m, 20, 200, 1000 volt. Computer only takes -12 to + 12 volt so we'll set the regulator pointer on 20 to measure exact voltage.

Warning : Don't set the regulator below 20, it can damage the motherboard or the multimeter.

Note : To chech RAM slot we need to know some informations about SMPS

Tip : Cut the power off from the computer

SMPS have a 24 pin ATX power connector and other connectors to power other peripherals like hard disk and CD/DVD Rom. Remove the connecters from the CD/DVD rom and also from hard disk, but don't remove the 24 pin ATX connector from the motherboard, because we need to give power in motherboard.

Tip : Don't have to take the SMPS out from the cabinet, just remove those connectors.

Smps carry -12 to +12 volt, each colour of wire carry a volt within that, and the black wire carries 0 volt (ground)

Now insert the black lead of your multimeter in the pata (IDE) power connector port which is connected to a black wire. Now power onn the Smps and use the red lead of your multimeter to check the ram slot. (locate the pins of ram slot on the back side of the motherboard. Usually you will get voltage around 3.5v / 5v and from some pins 0 volt).

Warning : Don't try to measure any other component with this setup

Clinton staffers have considering been cruising the streets seeking out Pokemon hunters, hoping to divert their attention for the couple of minutes to take registers to sign up to vote.
At a current event in Ohio, the Democratic campaign encouraged gamers to come back to its "lure module" - a feature that brings extra Pokemon to a given region - to "get free Pokemon" and "research more about Sec. Hillary Clinton!"
"These two Pokemon traders just registered to vote!" tweeted Joe Makielski, an organizer for the Colorado Democratic party, also posted a photograph of two young guys.

Complete guide to configure wifi router

Today I am going to show you how to configure a wifi router. You need to know three things without them you cannot configure any router.

1) Username
2) Password
3) Service name

These informations will be provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Router is a very essential gadget for almost everybody who use PC/Laptop or Smartphone. So it is very useful to know how to configure wifi router, so you don't have to rely on anybody. As I also said this in my other blogs and its worth mentioning again, you can skip paying to a computer technician or you can earn some bucks by configuring other's wifi router or even you can work as a professional.

Every router have a default IP address (192.168.1.1) and a login password (admin). Now on the back panel of the router you can see some ports, and under each port its written Lan 1,Lan 2,Lan 3,Lan 4 and a WAN port. There is another port for inserting power adapter cord. Now insert the internet cord in the WAN port and insert a cross cable in Lan 1 port and connect the other end in the computer's Lan port. Now use the power adapter cord to power up the router.Now open the internet browser and type the default IP (192.168.1.1) and the login pop up window will appear, type the default password (admin), So the router is unlocked now and the router configuration page will appear.Now you can see the status info page and the connection status as connecting. Now click WAN and set connection type as PPPoE, under that you'll see the username and then password followed by service name (these informations will be given by your ISP), after putting these informations click save. Now refresh the page after 10 seconds (connection status will change to connected).

Now lets configure wireless settings, goto the login page enter the default password and then click wireless settings, under the wireless basic settings, change the SSID name and set the name you want to display as a wifi name and click save. Now click wireless security tab and change security mode as WPA2-PSK (it is the best security mode) now set a password for your wireless connection, and click save.

Now your router is configured.
