Battle of the HD Formats
We are all asking the same question who will win the HD format war, will it be the HD DVD which is cheaper to produce but lacks the capacity of the more expensive but larger Blu Ray Disks. Blu-ray was created by the Blu ray Disc Association, an association of major electronic companies including , Panasonic as well as Sony, the intention was to produce a high capacity alternative to DVD's HD DVD was developed along similar lines by the DVD forum, another association of high level electronic manufacturing companies in the opposing camp we have companies including Toshiba and NEC, HD DVD is there replacement for standard DVD's.
PS3 Xbox 360 Or Wii
Do you own a Ps3, Xbox 360 or a WII, what made you buy your console? Was it the technical specifications or did someone tell you theirs was so fantastic that you just had to join in the fun. Now I am going to be honest with you, I own a Playstation 3 and I love it. So please excuse me if I'm ever so slightly biased but I will do my best to be fair.
CRM: il Re cliente strategie e strumenti per gestire la risorsa pi import...
Il CRM (Customer Relationship Management) rappresenta un tassello fondamentale per la produttivit di ogni azienda. Infatti, i benefici che le PMI (piccole e medie imprese) possono trarre dall'utilizzo di un software di questa tipologia sono molteplici. Il perch una piccola impresa dovrebbe utilizzare un CRM, com' era gi stato spiegato negli articoli precedenti, chiaro! Esso permette, in tutti i settori industriali, di mettere a punto una strategia che consenta all'azienda di ridurre i propri costi e di aumentare il proprio guadagno, di stabilire, quindi, relazioni pi fruttuose con la propria clientela, diminuendo contemporaneamente i costi operativi ed aumentando la redditivit.
Innovazione nelle piccole medie imprese
L'innovazione, questa la chiave per la crescita e lo sviluppo del business aziendale. Un bisogno sentito dalla gran parte delle aziende, ma in particolar modo dalle Piccole e Medie Imprese (PMI) del comprensorio. E' necessario identificare strumenti e metodologie adeguate per aumentare la capacit innovativa (di prodotto e di processo) dell'azienda

Halo Wars Preview
A myriad of real time strategy video games from Company of Heroes to Lord of the Rings have dominated the market. When gamers think Halo, they think first person shooter. Halo and real time strategy were never synonymous until now. Halo Wars is Bungie Studios' first foray with the Halo franchise and real time strategy, and the game is a prequel to the original Halo on the Xbox.

This BenQ T705 LCD Monitor has a common fault of display shutdown after few you "On" for few seconds. The cause of the problem was usually a shorted one or two of the C5707 push pull transistors. Besides the shorted transistor, one also has to check the tuning capacitor for high ESR value with the help of ESR meter. If you do not own one, you can use the digital capacitance meter to check the capacitance value. However, from my experience, checking only the capacitance value doesn't guarantee that the capacitor is good unless you confirm it with ESR meter. The reason why I emphasis on checking this tuning capacitors was because the capacitors have a high failure rate that could cause the C5707 transistor to go shorted. You also have to observe the high voltage transformer pins carefully. I had come across quite a number of shorted C5707 transistors caused by dry joints in pins of the high voltage transformer.
In this case, as usual after I have confirmed that only two C5707 transistors shorted, I began to test the tuning capacitors and check the pins of the high voltage transformer. Both the tuning capacitors found to be okay but there were dry joints in the transformer pins. Fresh solder was applied to the high voltage transformer pins and I'm ready to "On" the LCD Monitor. Guess what? The Monitor has the same symptom again which is display shutdown after few seconds! I don't believe it as most of the time it will surely work as this is a common fault!
I started to recheck the surrounding components that have connection to the C5707 transistors but found no faults in it. Analyzing the board many times didn't reveal any improper soldering job. There must be something that has gone wrong that had caused the LCD Monitor to shutdown. Deep in my heart I don't suspect backlights problem because the C5707 transistors shorted was caused by dry joints in the high voltage transformer. Beside, the backlights were quite reliable for this BenQ LCD Monitor model.
Thinking back, I bought a new badge of C5707 transistors from my electronic suppliers not long ago. The middle pin (leg) is a bit shorter than the other two as shown from the photo below. I thought to myself would it be this badge of transistors that have problem causing the display shutdown after few seconds? Of course I can't blindly suspect the transistors unless I have some proof of it. The finding begins..................
Testing the C5707 transistor with an analogue meter set to X 1 and to X 10 K Ohm doesn't seem like it has problem. Comparing the result with an original C5707 transistor did have some difference in the X 10 K Ohm range but the reading is acceptable from my years of experience in testing transistor. The only thing that I haven't compared is the Hfe reading. I used the famous Peak Atlas components analyzer to analyze both transistors and I could clearly see the big difference between the Hfe readings of the two transistors. The original C5707 transistor has Hfe value of 379 while the new badge of the C5707 transistor has Hfe value of 161! At last I found the answer!
I did tried replace the 4 C5707 transistors at one go with the new badge of transistors but the result was the same. Installing the transistors that have the Hfe reading of 350 to 400 solved the display shutdown problem. This circuit look like it can only work with the same type of transistor that has the quite exact Hfe value! That's why for this type of Monitor circuit, many technicians hardly can find a suitable replacement. In other words, even if you could get the substitution transistor that have higher Volt, Amp and Watt but different Hfe value, you still won't be able to bring the LCD Monitor back to life again. From the above test, this Monitor circuit has voice out loud and clear that it only need the same part number with the same Hfe value unless you have some similar transistor replacement specification that is identical to the original one.
For my readers that are in this electronic repairing line, although some of you may not be in the LCD Monitor repair, I hope you will absorb this information and apply it in your field. Who knows one day you would have face the same problem that I'm facing and this article could easily help you to solve your problem fast. Have a good and a blessed day!
