Try turning the power plug of the laptop over in the socket if it is not polarized. Sometimes this can help. - Original Message - From: Scott Howell To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 3:23 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on interference

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on interference form computers

Hey Max I don't live near a transmitter of any sort, but a ground loop would make sense. What this board has is quarter-inch inputs and one per channel. So, I use two inputs for stero output. I assume these are balanced inputs, but I am a little embarrassed to say I don't know exactly the d

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on interference form computers

It is both computers causing the noise and it could be they are creating some sort of loop. I dont' know the technical term, but removing either does eliminate the noise. Like I said, just tweaking the mixer will generally remove or put the sound way in the background. So, it is not a reall

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on interference form computers

I could do that, but the only reason I put the machine to sleep is after hours and I still need it ready in the event somethng comes up. Yes, I could probably do that or even just disconnect it, but I am trying more to udnerstand the problem really. tnx, On Mar 2, 2009, at 6:19 PM, Mike Rusk

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on interference form computers

You may have a ground loop. They are very difficult to break without loosing a ground on something. If your mixer has balanced inputs it might be easier. I have a 12 x 4 channel mixer, an 8 track digital recorder, sound module, signal processor, and monitor amplifier, all hooked together and

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on interference form computers

The kvn shouldn't have a problem with that setup. however, if you think it is, unplug it and see if hum goes away. That will tell for sure if the laptop is doing it or the kvn. At 05:44 PM 3/2/2009, you wrote: >Hey folks, I have a rather interesting problem that I hope is >acceptable for the li

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on interference form computers

What if you turn off the computer instead of putting it to sleep? Maybe it is still trying to access something even though it is sleeping, just a thought. - Original Message - From: Scott Howell To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 4:44 PM Subject:

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Question about smoke alarms

yeah, it took a week to convince a hard of hearing elderly landlady in my first gf's apartment building that I could replace her smoke alarm battery. Just inside the hall doorway. On Fri, 17 Oct 2008, Dan Rossi wrote: > Lenny, > > Sounds like the more appropriate question is, "has anyone ev

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Question about smoke alarms

with this discussion of either hard wired or just battery folks might want to think of a new place they are interested in, if they so choose to move. I say this as a friend of mine has the same problem as Betsy friend but it seems that the one detctor that is hard wired in a fairly new modul

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Question about smoke alarms

How about asking the fire department if they can help ssince the alarm is no longer doing its job to warn neighbors of a possible fire? I'd be more worried about the abandoned character of the home as an attractive neusence to any local questionable characters. tom

Betsy I have no experience with the wired in ones, but the battery only ones I've used all get low battery after 6 months or so. It's always at 3:30 in the morning too, makes one wonder about the sadism of the designers. I would be suspicious about the situation your friend has, it does not sound
