ok i have a cell phone charger that i always leave plugged in to the wall and my dad always says to take it off becuase it will use electricity but i always tell him hes wrong becuase it doesnt use electricity until i actually plug the phone but then he says no it does use it becuase it is ready and there is energy flowing through it even though its not connected to a device. im pretty sure im right but i just want to comfirm it so if you can tell me for sure that would be great. thanks alot.

Im trying to figure out if my old pentax lenses would be compatible with a new pentax SLR (i'd probably get the k100d). the lenses are pretty old and the aperture is set on the lens. i could figure out if it is compatible if i knew the mount type (ex. k-mount, s-mount, kaf2-mount, 67/645).

The fuse is a 125v GMA 5 Bussman. Is this even the right fuse. Is there a standerd problem as to why this fuse keeps blowing? The people I received this from told me that as they were watching it and it just shut off. This is all I know. Help would be appritiated.

THANKYOU,
BRYAN

I use Sky Anytime to down load movies to my PC and would like to watch them on my larger 32" TV. Is there a PC card that can be installed into the PC that can then transmit via a lead down to the TV.?

I know nothing about cameras and just bought an SLR Canon Rebel Xti. I want a lens to take pics of small insects and another to take pics of the city skyline. How do I choose the right one? Should I get an IS lens?

Can anyone explain to me, in the simplest terms possible, the dog and pony show the FCC seems to be putting on regarding digital TV after February 17, 2009?
What's the deal with the converter boxes? If you subscribe to digital TV through your cable/satellite provider, whereby you have a set-top box, are you covered?
I have seen the FCC site - and it's more confusing than I thought.
I think they're just putting on a big act, if you ask me.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

And, yes, I am speaking as an analog TV owner.

It's about 7 years old now - a 27" Panasonic. It's a tube and not flat screen. It's been fine up until a few days ago - the picture suddenly goes black but I can still hear the channels. Sometimes I turn it off then back on and the picture lasts for a couple of minutes then goes out again. Sometimes the picture doesn't come back.

Luckily, I have a second TV, but it's a smaller 17". Does anyone know what's wrong with my TV? Is it that the projection tube is dying, or wires inside getting old? Or something else?

How much would it cost for a tv repair man to look at it? Or, is it just not worth it and I should just throw the TV out? - that's another ordeal, as how should it be disposed of properly?

What is blu-ray? Should I waist 20 more dollars on getting warhawk on a blu ray disc or saving 20 dollars by getting it on the playstation network?

Thanks in advance.

It's a sony digital camera and the whole zoom feature is on the button too, so it's all glued down now. Any Suggestions? I was thinking about dabbing acitone on it and see if that will loosen it up but i'm scared that might fry it!

Hi there, i have a toshiba satellite pro 4600 laptop, and i am curious to why when i record things, either using a microphone or plugging a double ended heaphone jack wire from my mic socket into the headfones on my amplifier, i find a strange sorta clicky squeaky noise that happens every so often on the recording playback.

It may also be noted that the exact same noise happens when i use headphones or speakers into the headfone socket.

Im rather puzzled and im tryin to record a mix, with not much satisfaction.HELP!!!!

ill update this question accordingly if people need to know other details.

How does a pay go phone work?
Say I go to Walmart and purchase the Tracphone for $15 dollars. I take it home, and what do I do next? How do I activate it? Do I have to purchase a phone card? And do the phone card last for 1 year or the minutes goes away if I dont use it after 30 days ?

Thanks in advance
