  1. I understand that completely. It can be very frustrating to try to recall certain bits of information when you know you knew it at one point but just can't make that connection. My injury was due to my motorcycle being struck by an 18 wheeler. Fun times!
  2. I understand there are many factors that play into Ohm's law when applied but I was looking for the theoretical calculations just to understand the idea behind how it works better as @Brink2Three answered wonderfully. I believe the issue was I remember just enough of the basics to confuse myself. When searching for my answer I wasn't typing in the correct information which led me down a rabbit hole. Thanks for the answers!
  3. I'm trying to understand the theoretical components of time to charge for a device. Let's assume that a battery is 2000 mAh. Power = Voltage * Amp. So lets take a charger that charges at both 24v 1 amp and 12v 2 amps. That provides us with a 24 watt output on both. Everything I've been able to find talks about discharge time being battery size divided by discharge rate. I want to know the reverse. How do we get from a 24 watt charger to filling the capacity of the 2000 mAh battery. As far as charging rate goes is there a difference between 24v 1 amp and 12v 2 amps? How can I take the wattage of a charger and convert that into mAh? Regards I had some electrical engineering courses in college so speak as technically as you would like. Unfortunately I don't remember some of the specific content do to a head injury but I understand conceptually most things.
  4. That worked great. I don't see any errors arising now. There must have been some odd syntax issue that would throw an unseen error from time to time. Thanks for the advice!
  5. Follow up question for you. I replaced my block with the replace function and that worked wonders. I have another block that someone recommended that I use an on error resume next for. It seems this was the culprit of the hard freezes. Essentially I want to see if a directory exists and if it doesn't I want to create it and if it does leave it alone. That code is as follows: On Error Resume Next If (Dir("T:\TCNA Laboratory US\Testing Data\20" & labArray(2) & " Data Automated\" & labArray(1) & labArray(2) & "\") = "") = True Then MkDir "T:\TCNA Laboratory US\Testing Data\20" & labArray(2) & " Data Automated\" & labArray(1) & labArray(2) Else End If On Error GoTo 0 I'm aware that else isn't required in vba and that I could have used If 'some code End if but its a habbit from another language. What in that bit would cause hard freezes? Could it be the else? It seems to not crash on that but crashing at the very end (shortly after this) on the exit sub. Thanks for your time.
  6. The G900 can be charged anywhere on the logitech powerplay mat but as @mikedrewsmy pointed out to me you mentioned it was too expensive. The mouse pad for charging anywhere is an additional 100.
  7. I second the G900. I have it and its an excellent mouse.
  8. That's a great catch! I didn't think to change the sampleID on the second check for symbols. Also, I completely forgot about the replace function. I will change my additions to the replace and report back after testing. Thanks a ton! As for the saving, anytime I have say "c373-5 samples 3" hexagonal.docx" (the technicians put the sampleID into excel and I'm pulling it directly from that cell) the " will throw an error which is why the block of code was included in the first place.
  9. I'm working on a program to automate some functionality of a research lab. One of the problems is that saving the file they want to use the sample ID as part of the name. Unfortunately I've run into some issues where " and / are used in the sample ID which as you know cannot be saved in Windows. The reason I'm changing variables from sampleID to correctedID is that I want to keep corrected id and my sample ID separate. I'm doing this because this program also automatically writes a several page report where the sample ID is called multiple times and needs the full sample ID. The bit of my code that I've inserted is this: Dim idArray As Variant Dim y As Integer correctedID = "" If InStr(sampleID, """") Then idArray = Split(sampleID, """") y = UBound(idArray) For x = 0 To y correctedID = correctedID & idArray(x) Next x End If If InStr(sampleID, "/") Then idArray = Split(sampleID, "/") y = UBound(idArray) For x = 0 To y correctedID = correctedID & idArray(x) Next x Else End If If correctedID = "" Then correctedID = sampleID End If Until I added this block of code there were no crashes whatsoever. With this block of code about 10% of the time excel will hard freeze with no error thrown and require me to kill it using command prompt. Thoughts? On the rare event that the code crashes BUT doesn't hard freeze excel it highlights a line near the bottom when I am saving the excel file. That line is: ThisWorkbook.SaveAs "T:\TCNA Laboratory US\PTCA\PTCA Data\20" & labArray(2) & " Automated\" & labArray(1) & labArray(2) & "\PTCA" & labArray(1) & _ labArray(2) & " C373-5 " & correctedID & ".xlsm" This is where I am calling the correctedID. I ran debugging statements to keep an eye on what value is stored in correctedID but it seems correct. If more information is required please let me know and I will provide it asap. Thanks!
  10. I know the drivers are updated and I'm pretty sure that I asked him to check it but I don't remember specifying to check global settings. I'll do that and reply back here tonight once he's off work.
  11. So I sold my friend my old Dell S2716DGR and gave him a new still in package DP cable along with it. Everything works he's able to play games and activate g-sync. In the control panel we were able to change it to 1440p@144hz. At first the display settings -> advanced settings in the windows menu still displayed 60 hz but after reseating the cable it shows 143hz now. The problem is games are limiting him to 60 hz as if v sync was on. We've turned off v sync globally, we've disabled g-sync, and thoroughly checked the settings in several games. He lives in a very rural area in West Virginia and the closest electronics store is about 2.5 hours away. He's going to order a new cable but I figured I would pose this question to the forum first. The GPU he's using is a new GTX 1080. The monitor is about 6 months old I purchased new and have used at 144hz with g sync since purchase so I doubt its the monitor. Any advice is highly appreciated!!!!
  12. I've tried to be thorough when going through forums to find a similar issue however I couldn't find anything. I recently purchased a pre-owned predator x34 ultrawide in excellent condition. However, it won't go to sleep. When my computer sleeps the display turns black but the backlight is still on. Ive tested this with multiple computers and with nothing plugged in at all. The only thing I could find is another user found that they had this issue when there were speakers plugged into the display. I've tried with and without and tried resetting the monitor several times to factory defaults but nothing has been successful. I'm curious if there is anyone that who has run into this issue and found a solution or if anyone has any suggestions that I might try before sending it in for warranty repair. I've already been in contact with acer support but they kept getting confused with thinking that my windows settings were the cause. All recommendations/suggestions are appreciated!!!!
  13. I have a relatively new dell inspiron 7577 and I'm struggling to figure out an issue I have. Recently my wifi speeds have dropped to a exactly 5 Mbps +/- .01 Mbps. Generally I get 25 solid and at school closer to 50 but its being pegged at 5 now. At home I set directly beside my router (Asus Google Onhub). I have updated bios reverted bios updated drivers for wifi removed and reinstalled old drivers. I've updated all other drivers as well. LAN connection I get my full download speed. Intel Dual band wireless-AC 8265 is the card. I've attached a diag of my system. I should probably note that I've reinstalled drivers several times (uninstalling them between installs) and one of the times it jumped back up to 25. All other devices get 25 down. The only other thing I can think of is I recently ran CC Cleaner to fix some old changes to the registry. I'm not sure though if that would effect it. If you have any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! diag.txt
  14. It can vary a bit depending on the specific parts your getting. But if I hazard to guess I'd say a 24 pin connector for the board 4-6 pin for the processor and an 8 pin for the GPU. Make sure you have enough sata for all your drives as well.
