I read so advice you ahve given to others with computer problems hopefully you can give me some ideas.
The computer in question is my parents computer. Its an E Machine and is about 3 years old. The problem is that the computer turned off a few days ago and now when you try to turn in back on it will try to start up and will try to boot up 2-3 times and then just shut back off. From the sounds of it it never totally boots up. They said you can hear the computer running and working on booting up but then it just shuts off.
Any ideas what this could be? Power Supply problem? Hard drive dump out? Any thing else?
Not an expert here, I would say I am somewhere around moron when it comes to computers. Any ideas would be great. They will probably end up taking it in and getting it fixed but any info you could provide would be nice.
Also if a harddrive needs to be replaced by a compter tech is there any real danger in that person taking your old hard drive and accessing sensitive info that was stored on it?
I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
