my blackberrys battery was low so I turned it off. I’m travelling and only brought my USB cord to charge it. I plugged it in to charge and the red light came on, but i can’t turn it back on. i have tried unplugging it from the USB and then turning it on but it still wont work. I’m wondering if it won’t charge because I don’t have the blackberry software installed on this computer? Can someone please help?

Answer:
If the phone is completely dead, it will take at least 15-20 minutes of charging before you can turn it on. Let it charge for the next hour and then try turning it back on. If it still doesn’t work, then you might have a faulty USB cable.

I am going to buy a set of speakers for my home cinema, but my AV reciever is European with a UK plug adapter. The speakers are imported from America – will this work? I initially saw no problems with it just being a passive speaker, and since it is just straight up speaker cable that will be used, but just to make sure will someone clarify any problems that may occur? Thanks in advance.

Answer:
Speakers come in, most commonly, 4 and 8 ohm impedance versions. Many … but not all … receivers will handle both, and some of those need a setting to be right to handle 4 ohm. Other than that, there is the potential issue you raise of a proprietary connection (i.e. a plug that connects the speaker to the receiver), but it’s a minor issue since you can add one on the receiver end of the speaker wire to any standard speaker (you may have to splice it in). So, long answer to your question, you can use a US speaker as long as the impedance is a compatible with your receiver and you address any connection plug issue.

i buying a xbox i wanna know which is better

Answer:
The elite is the superior console. The main thing is, it has a 120GB hdd while as the pro on has a 20GB. If you’re going to buy a 360, I would suggest going with this one. The other guy who has answered had his prices all wrong. Arcade: $199.99 Pro: $299.99 Elite: $399.99 The Harddrive alone on the Elite costs $180 on it’s own, so you are getting a fairly good deal if you do decide to spend a bit more. RROD is just as likely on both of them, so if you’re looking at it from that angle, then neither are better. You could specify you want a console with the Jasper chip when buying the console, if that’s your worries. It’ll lessen the chance a fair bit, but won’t eliminate. You’ll still have the warranty on it though, so just take care of it and you’ll be fine.

Will they buy my Xbox 360 controller if it doesn’t have a battery pack? I broke my battery pack, the controller still works. & will they buy that keyboard texting thing you attach to your controller? Oh and does anyone know how much you will get in cash for the Xbox 360 with a 20gb hard drive

Answer:
1. I’m pretty sure they won’t because they want to get it and see if it works, and if you don’t have a battery pack, then it is considered “broken”. 2. Yes. As long as it works. EDIT: For an XBOX 360 with a 20 GB HDD, you would probably get around $30.

I thought about going and buying a PS3 for my husband as a surprise, but I want to make sure I get the right one. The dude at Best Buy was absolutely no help at all. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8982988&st=ps3&type=product&id=1218005635152 I read the specs but I just want to confirm… this model has a memory card slot in the front, has built-in WiFi, and can become backwards compatible by downloading a file from the PlayStation network, right? What else would I need besides the actual PS3? I know I’d need an HDMI cable, and another controller, but is there anything else? It has a hard drive, which means I don’t need a memory card, right? Would you recommend an extended warranty and does anyone know how much they are at Best Buy? My brother has the Metal Gear Solid special edition which is 80gb and it IS backwards compatible… but I guess that’s the only 80gb that is BC? Also, I had heard that a price drop was coming in April. Has that already occured? The 80gb is listed for $399.

Answer:
First of all, you were correct that the model your brother has is the only 80GB one that has BC, but the 60GB and 20GB ones also have BC. There is no file in the PSN that lets you have BC. Nothing lets you bring BC to a non BC PS3. Only option you have is to get a PS2 for 100$. The 60GB one is the best PS3 out of all models, since it plays 99% of all PS2 games. The 80GB one your brother has can play about 75% of all PS2 games. The rumor about a price drop in April was false, just like I predicted. Sony has denied all of the rumors about a price drop that is coming soon. Today is April 30, so there is no chance that a price drop will occur. If you are really hoping for a price drop, you should wait until this X-Mas, since that is when everything has sales, price drops, bundles, etc. There is no memory card reader, but you don’t really need that. Don’t worry. You can just transfer your data (music, pictures, videos, etc.) by using a flash drive. You don’t need an HDMI cable. Just so you know, you can only use the HDMI cable if you have an HD TV. Also, even if you do have an HD TV, you don’t have to get the HDMI cable. That cable is not necessary for anything. It’s just going to show better graphics (as long as you have an HD TV), otherwise you won’t even find a place to connect it to. I’d recommend getting that cable if you have an HD TV, but again, you don’t have to have it. You can use the PS3 with the cables that come in the box. It does have a hard drive, you don’t need a memory card. 80GB is plenty of memory, and even if you do run out, you can always upgrade later. I don’t think that the extended warranty is required of you, unless you really want to be 100% sure. If you take good care of it, put it in the right place, you’ll be fine. I think the extended warranty at Best Buy is something around 50$, but I’m not sure.
