Problem with Wrist watch band.

Wrist straps bear much of the load and it's very important to use them correctly. I've found a great video that can explain you exactly how to do it right, just follow the link http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/trekking+poles+hiking+staffs.html#ooid=UwcGJzMTqoUBYjG-EahO83N28h8Q-yQC

I'm not sure what problem is that you are having with the wrist strap, but on my Canon camera, I just thread the small loop end of the wrist strap through the plastic loop on the camera and then pull the other end of the strap through the small loop end. It is very hard to explain in words, but you can watch this video to get the idea:

The wrist strap hole is on the upper right corner of the outside body when you are looking through the viewfinder. Thread the skinny end (or one end) of the wrist strap through that strap hole. As soon as a little loop (like 1 inch) is poking out the other side, thread the thicker (or the other) end of the strap through that loop that's poking out of the strap hole. pull tight.


PLease "accept" so i get credit!! Thanks, Scott

mcdevito75 here, If your Casio has a metal band, you can remove 1--2 links, this takes a special tool called a link remover, best bet is to look for a small watch repair shop in your area. If your Casio has a strap, the buckle may be able to move up the strap to fit your wrist, if so, move the buckle up the strap to fit your wrist and cut offf the exccess strap. If not, you"ll have to replace the entire strap. Hope this helps.

Believe that this is an indication about the CMOS battery. It shouldn't have gone bad though, as the average lifespan of a CMOS battery is 9 years.

Dell's terminology for this battery is, "Coin-Cell Battery". No matter what name it is being called, it is a round battery like the type used in a watch. It is a CR2032. It is about the size of a U.S. nickle. This battery is readily available in many places. (I have even found them at the pharmacy!)

How to change it?
This is Dell Support, and the Service Manual for the Inspiron 6400, plus more specifically the page on how to change the Coin-Cell Battery. There are photos, and information.

(Just copy and paste the above link into your address bar, then press the Enter key. Not trying to insult your intelligence)

1.Remove the AC adapter, (Charger), if plugged in.
2.Remove the battery from the battery bay.
3.Work on a table. It is recommended to buy, and use an ESD wrist strap. (Electro Static Discharge) This prevents static from your body, from frying out the delicate computer hardware components, inside your laptop.
(Example of an ESD wrist strap,
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103245&cp=&sr=1&kw=anti-static+wrist+strap&origkw=anti-static+wrist+strap&parentPage=search)

The ESD wrist strap has a strap that goes around your wrist, and in the strap there is an exposed piece of metal. This metal touches your wrist. The other end of the wrist strap has an alligator clip. This clip is attached to a good ground source.

The 'Good Ground Source' for many techs, is one where the alligator clip is attached to a ground in a house, or shop's, 120 volt electricity supply. In otherwords, that round hole on the bottom of a receptacle. (Wall socket. Two flat blade slots on top, and a round hole in the middle, on the bottom)

For me this = NO! You're not going to catch this kid, plugging my wrist to anything that has to do with high voltage electricity! Yes, it would be safe, but I have this thing that if lightning strikes a transformer on the utility pole outside, and follows the power wires to the house, or shop, then to the Service Panel, and finally to the LEAST possible source of resistance, Ummm,.....that would be ME!

Do you have a desktop computer? Unplug it from the surge protector. Open the computer case, clip the alligator clip to the metal frame.
(Or use an empty computer case like I do)

In 20+ years of repairing computers, I have never had a problem with this method.
(Sorry about the 'windy' explanation!)

The Coin-Cell Battery is under your keypad. However to remove the keypad, you must remove the Hinge Covers.
You have to remove the Hinge Covers, that are for the hinges of your LCD screen.
It's real simple.

Now remove the keypad, then the Coin-Cell Battery. The Dell Support link shows you, and give clear instructions.
