NAND or NOR Flash Memory:

Flash memory is a non-volatile data storing memory wafer that involves electrically erasing and reprogramming technology. Being non-volatile these chips are capable of storing data even in the absence of power and are renowned for fast reading and better kinetic shock resisting qualities. NAND devices are accessed serially, using the same eight pins to transmit control, addressing and data. NAND flash was introduced by Toshiba in 1989.

Although NAND and NOR memory chips function differently they are still widely being used in various electronic devices where data storing, erasing and reprogramming are essential. Both invented by DR. Fujio Masuoka in his work place Toshiba, the main goal was set to outdate the old storage devices that functions under magnetic energy like: hard disks and cassette tapes by reducing the cost per bit and increasing maximum chip capacity.

Hence, NAND flash is widely used in MP3 players, USB drives and digital cameras where higher storage capacity is crucial. But, some devices like pocket PC's can be found using both types of flash memory at the same time. These PC's typically use NAND for memory storage and NOR to boot the operating system.

Flawed Memory Drives and Data Recovery:

Data recovery is a highly specialized science which is equally valid for rescuing data from both NAND and NOR flash. Although, NOR is rarely used and is quite expensive, NAND is preferred extensively for mass storage and a huge godsend for thin and smaller devices.

The probability of data loss is elevated when bad memory storage is used: unbranded USB drives, unbranded NAND wafer devices, etc. These unbranded memory devices & chips are often noticed in spontaneous reboots leading to program failure. A malfunctioning RAM is often noticed to write correct data in an incorrect location of the drive which eventually creates a data malfunction and data loss. Furthermore, using flawed memory can also cause degradation of your hard drives logical capability and can finally destroy your device, the most extreme: an unbootable system or device.

Data recovery or NAND data recovery can minimize your loss and protect your machine from any incurable situation; we highly suggest avoiding the purchase of unbranded USB drives, SD cards, USB sticks, CompactFlash cards, and any other no-name devices for storing your crucial data. NAND recovery is possible but very complicated.

First Aid Before Data Recovery:

Data loss is a common problem that we often face due to virus attacks in our USB drives or when our computers get physically or logically over used. To fix these data degradation problems data recovery is only one solution that can rescue you and your data from the nightmare of any permanent loss. But, experts believe that data loss often becomes a complicated task when a user ignores the safety measures that help to avoid further data losses. Thus, in case of data loss some safety measures should be applied.

Data Recovery for Hard Drives & NAND Storage:

Data recovery processes embrace various techniques with latest technologies. At first, experts determine the fault on the device and classify them into Tier 1 and Tier 2. If your device falls into Tier 1 this means your device is suffering from a logically damaged component and data recovery costs are normally cheaper as compared to Tier 2. But, if your device has Tier 2 fault than your device is physically injured and may have many internal damaged circuits which need circuit and recovery experts; the process will normally be more costly.

After determining tier 1 or tier 2 an image of device is saved and these images are relocated to a separate server to avoid any accidental loss. Then the original copy of the image is transported to a lab where first degree data recovery is performed using various utilities which may include repairing faults in the device, dumping directly from NAND wafers, repairing circuits, crystals etc. Other various attempts are also made which includes testing and recovering from the logical damage on the device.

If the first degree recovery fails then the task is considered to be severe and second degree recovery is practiced which includes high level techniques and experts with professional knowledge over critical uses of software and hexadecimal formulas. These software utilities are used to re-build the drive and manipulate other drive errors.

In case of physical faults like: motor replacements, repairing heads or cleaning scratches different cleaning liquids and other spare parts are available according to the size and code. After every physical and logical recovery attempt the rescued data is copied to an additional storage device like: CD/DVD's, flash drives, and hard drives.

Dell Latitude D631 is not bright aenough to see. How can i brighten it?

I have a Dell Latitude D631. Currently there is a fault with the monitor. The screen is almost completely black but can just about see it. Is there a way I can brighten the laptop screen manually?

In the bios, set it so you can manually change the brightness (I forgot the name they use). Then you can use Fn + Up Arrow to increase brightness.

Over the years, there have been countless innovations when it comes to the Internet so that it certainly has become a medium of boundless possibilities. Without question, these advancements pose immense value to Internet users the world over; however, the World Wide Web has also become a platform for cybercriminals to wreak havoc in. The latest form of cybercrime that proliferates on the Web is scareware, an even more malicious form of software designed to deceive users into downloading these so-called "solutions" only to find their computers compromised.

What is It?

Simply put, scareware is fake anti-virus software. It is also referred to as rogueware and in some cases may appear as helpful computer applications such as a firewall system or registry cleaner. Cybercriminals who use this scam to generate profit use scare tactics to trick users into purchasing the software. Typically, you will be notified that your computer has been infected with viruses and along with the notification, you will be encouraged to download the scareware that will supposedly get rid of the problem.

Prevention

Clearly, scareware presents grave dangers to users because not only does it compromise your privacy and security, but cybercriminals have become so sophisticated that the removal of such malicious software can be extremely difficult and in many cases, costly. They usually appear in the form of pop-up ads even in websites that are legitimate. Sometimes you are taken to the scareware website directly and clicking on the X button on the window actually activates the malicious program.

However, there are many measures that you can take to ensure you aren't victimized by these scams. As in many situations, prevention is often the most effective measure against the threat of scareware. There are many good quality pop-up blockers that you can make use of and some of them are offered free. A good pop-up blocker will be one that targets not only advertisements but also spam as well as spyware. It is also a good idea to install a pop-up blocker that actively looks for and then destroys tracking cookies.

Social networking sites are a favorite target of cybercriminals simply because they are so popular and people do have a tendency to be negligent when they are on these sites. If you are a frequent social network user, choose a strong password and change it often. Beware of applications that you find on the sites such as games and other entertainment applications. In some cases, launching the application means you are allowing the third-party website to access information contained in your personal page.

Other Measures

Scareware websites appear legitimate with layouts that are very well-designed so you wouldn't think of suspecting these attackers. Know that these scammers change the appearance of their websites often so as to reduce the possibility that they will be recognized by Internet users. Even if the site claims to be affiliated with legitimate companies, be wary of these claims, especially if there is no link that will take you directly to the authority site. Keep a list of trusted anti-virus software and check any new names against this list always.

Summer weather is in full effect around the nation – here in the Pacific Northwest we’re having a heat wave. Along with other things like Gramma and Grampa, we need to check our computers for overheating and prevent problems down the road. We’ve seen overheating bring up problems like hard drive errors, power supply problems and all-out failures. It’s important for your computer equipment to be able to dissipate that heat properly. First of all the obvious answer – if it doesn’t need to be on, turn it off. The simplest answer is usually the best but often just not possible. Check the location of your case – is it in a closed area like the bottom of your desk? Make sure it has enough airflow around it. You don’t need a fan pointed at it, but make sure any hot air that comes out of the computer case isn’t trapped in and cycling around to the air intakes. Speaking of intakes – are they clean? A modern case and computer is a delicate balance of space and airflow. An intake clogged with dust can cut off up to 50% of the airflow to expensive parts within. Use a canned air blower to open the ports, or a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust. We offer service as well for heat issues – improving airflow in custom cases, cleaning inside and out – get ready for the heat!

We also service those of you who waited too long - full computer repair; diagnosis, repair and recovery of your data!

More and more people are buying laptop computers today than desk side computers. Its easy to see why these small computers are advantageous over the desk side models. For one thing, laptops offer flexibility. You can take them anywhere. Over the years, these computers have continued to get small and lighter. Now there is a sub-category of laptop computers referred to as small or mini laptop computers. If you are in the market for a mini laptop computer, you have an ever-growing number of choices. So how do you choose which of these mini computers is right for you?

This genre of laptop computer offers many options and making a selection can be daunting. Many people like to see what other people are buying. There is a reasonable belief that if many people are selecting a certain item, odds are that a fair number of them have done their research and made a selection based upon this research. Here are five very popular models of small laptop computers.

The first of these small laptop computers that we will consider is the Acer Aspire. This mini laptop offers a wide 9-inch screen. This reasonably sized screen is large for a mini laptop and is excellent for those people who use their computers frequently. The large sized screen offers bright, clear, sharp, high-quality imagery. This computer is a tad larger than other mini computers, but it is full featured.

Now we will consider the Asus Eee PC 1000. This version of the Asus is a bit larger than its predecessor. However, the Eee PC 1000 is still, relatively speaking, miniature as compare to larger, standard sized laptop computers. The Eee PC 1000 offers excellent battery life. As with the previous Asus computers, this one still uses the Intel Atom processor.

The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is an excellent option. As with other Dell computers, the Mini 9 is fully configurable. Dells willingness to customize every computer makes it easy to obtain exactly what you are looking for in a computer. One shortcoming of the Dell is its less-than-average battery life.

Next is the HP mini computer. HP computers, on average, tend to be somewhat more expensive than other computers. This is true in the small laptop category as well. However, increased price, in this case means more product. The HP offers more than most other computers, so even though it may cost more, you are getting more for you money and probably getting more options that you may want or need.

Finally, we have the popular Sony VAIO. With its 8.9-inch screen, this computer measures in with a larger-than-average display. The computer also comes with an 80GB hard drive. Another nice aspect of the Sony VAIO is that it weighs just more than three pounds.

As you can see, there are many options to choose from. These five are just the top of the iceberg when it comes to the burgeoning smallish mini laptop computer genre. However these five options tend be among the best selling choices. If you were to select any of these five, you are likely to be buying a quality laptop that you will ultimately be satisfied with.

The average price of a laptop is becoming affordable even to those without much money, as compared to the last decade or so. This is great for families who need a common computer, or even for university students who need a dependable laptop to get their school work done to graduate. The buying process will still take some research, however.

First, the hard drive can be a big selling point that marketing departments plaster all over laptop advertisements. Although a large hard drive is nice, a bigger one doesn't necessarily mean the laptop is better- or even that you'll ever use that much space. Look at your current space usage to determine what laptop hard drive size you will need, and not what marketing companies try to sell you.

The average consumer tends to be a little confused when it comes to processors. Measuring the ability of a processor can be a little more tough than just measuring its frequency rating. If you are a bit confused, try looking at your recommended requirements for software you may use and see what you may need.

Also keep in mind the screen size of the laptop- this is one of the deciding factors in how much you will pay for a laptop. The standard that most are comfortable with is 15-inch, while manufacturers go as high as 20-inch models or more just to see if consumers will buy them. A larger screen is a plus, but certainly not a necessity.

One thing consumers forget to buy is the warranty. Sure, there is a warranty that comes with every laptop for free- but it often doesn't last long. At most, the average warranty will last around a year or less unless you extend it. Buying the extension is highly recommended, as it will ensure that your investment is protected for 3-5 years in length. You'll thank yourself if you have laptop problems down the road.

As a last note of advice, you should seek out your alternatives both online and through local retailers. Find a laptop that is exactly what you need- don't settle for something that is close to it. Most of the times this means going online to build a personal computer, which companies are more than happy to do for clients who know what they want.

Closing Comments

High end laptops can go as high as $3,000 or more, but the average consumer laptop doesn't even have to surpass $700. Even at $700, a laptop that can play games and run all types of software at a quick pace can be obtained, thanks to advances in technology.
