I want to use my cell phone in a data acquisition application, but I need to have the phone talk to a small datalogger. I'd like to use the cell phone's USB port to talk to the datalogger, but I'm not sure if a cell phone can communicate with a micro controller in this way. Any ideas?

No backlight on the monitor, it's really, really dark but you just barely make out what's there.

I need it because my CD burner is not working and i need quickly a burner to burn some important files. Also it would be better if i buy a DVD burner instead of a Cd one because that way i can't burn both formats.

For some reason, the ethernet port on my laptop is not functioning. I just purchased a wireless router, and according to
the instructions for setup I need to at some point in the process connect the router to my computer. I heard somewhere a while back that there is a way to set up the wireless router without connecting the router to my computer AND without using the intallation software the router came with. I am however able to connect to the internet with a USB cable, but my router (and all other routers in the store) do not have a USB connection port.

From what I can gather, it has something to do with typing a generic IP address into a web browser or something.

CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!

Any advise is GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you SOO much!

hi i have a dvd burner that came with my computer and it doesnt seem to be able to burn dvds. If i try to burn a cd or something it works perfectly. Could it be my dvd disc? im trying to write on a TDK dvd-r. and the dvd writer says its dvd r/rw compatible. I don't know what the model for the dvd writer is though. I was wondering if theres any tests i can run on it to see if its still working. Thank you!

I drilled a hole in the top of the ink cartridge and refilled it. The Cartridge is an Epsom T0601. The red out of ink light will not go out. I cannot figure out how to reset the ink chip to show as full or simply disable it so I can continue printing.

Well this other computer that we have has a problem.

We had to get a new monitor a while back and the one we got will work sometimes. When it doesnt it says No Signal . we fixed it then didnt use it about a month and now we just tried to add a graphics card, but now the monitor says No Signal, the keyboard and mouse will only flash once , the keyboard might stay lite but the mouse wont. all the cords are connected. It should work but wont.
What is wrong with this thing?
