Strange ipac problem
tommy:
I bought a used ipac about a year ago and just a few days ago I started having a problem that I think is because of it.
Every now and then I think the ipac is shorting out my video card when I use my keyboard, I would lose my video signal and my keyboard seems to lose power as well. This only happens when I'm in a game using keys and when I kinda tug on the keyboard cord running right to the ipac my caps lock key seems to regain power and resets. I then have to reboot to get my video signal back.
Has anyone ever had a problem like this or have any ideas of what's wrong? Can the ipac short out a pc if something is wrong with it? The connections seem fine.
ChadTower:
Could you have tugged a solder joint cold? It likely isn't a short - but an intermittent connection somewhere could cause a lockup or reset.
tommy:
I think it may have something to do with one of the two female sockets causing the trouble. I can't say for sure yet.
