3 Portable Underwater Waterproof Video Camera Reviewed

Kodak Playsport Zx3

Soldering Accessories

Are you an excitement hunter that runs around in different places from land to water? You want and need a video camera to record those moments? The Kodak Playsport HD Waterproof Video Camera is one video camera that has you in mind.

Soldering Accessories

Like the other video cameras in the market, the Kodak Playsport Zx3 packed with the usual high quality features. It comes with the latest full 1080p HD, image stabilization and ability to take 5MP still pictures. The memory slot is made to be expandable and you can record up to 10 hours of HD video by buying an extra SD/SDHC (up to 32 GB).

A plus point is its LCD Glare Shield feature which is specially designed to let you see your subject in reflective outdoor situations. Still in the sun, but avoiding the sun-glare on the screen which most gadget screens are subjected to.

Furthermore, it is waterproof for up to 10ft. Plunge it into the water and pull it out whilst still recording those funny moments under water clearly. Not to mention its durability. Give it to your kids and worry less because it's durable design is pretty shock proof and hardy.

What we really love about this camera is the extra accessories that is included. It comes with ALL the cables (HDMI, USB, and Component video cables) usually needed to be connected to your other media projection devices e.g. computer, HD TV.

JVC Picsio GC-WP10 Waterproof Pocket Video Camera (Blue) NEWEST VERSION

Want a waterproof camera with a easy to use user interface? The JVC Picsio Waterproof Pocket Video Camera might just be right for you. Since PICSIO is touch-panel controlled 3" large screen, just touch the icon graphics to intuitively operate everything.

Similar to the the above camera, the JVC Picsio Waterproof Pocket Video Camera has 10ft waterproof depth and video quality at 1080P at 30 FPS, or 720P 60 FPS. Use the faster frame rate as it is better for moving subjects.

What is nice about this camera is the after video recording support. "Plug & Share" Simplicity when you connect to a Windows PC. With the LoiLoScope EX software pre-installed in PICSIO, you can start using it right away, no installation to PC necessary! Mac Users will be able to shoot video in iFrame mode which is the native format (960x540) and uploaded to iMovie for fast editing. Recorded files can be easily handled by your Mac for editing.

GoPro HD HERO Camera

GoPro's all-new HD HERO cameras are the world's most advanced waterproof, full HD 1080p cameras specifically for sports enthusiasts. The GoPro HD HERO video cameras can shoot video or photos from your point-of-view, with its 170° wide-angle lens (the industry's widest). Just attach mount the camera on your helmet, body, vehicle or any other equipment to capture your videos all handsfree.

Being newly designed, the GoPro HD HERO video cameras can take videos in 3 video modes,1080p, 960p, and 720p and the waterproof depth has increased from from 100' / 30m to 180' / 60m. Of course, with all the extra benefits this camera costs slightly more than the above. But I truly recommend it if you are more serious about sports. If not, for casual users, the Kodak Playsport or JVC Picsio will do.

How to Fix XBox 360 Ring of Death

You wanted to spend some quality time with your favorite XBox game.  So you pressed the power button.  Unfortunately all that came on were some pretty flashing red lights.

Soldering Accessories

You became a statistic.  A Microsoft fatality.  One in 33% of all XBox 360 console owners. 

Soldering Accessories

(This has apparently dropped to 6% on the newer models, so if you manage to get it with one of those, then you really have to feel special.)

Now you are faced with the choice of sending it to Microsoft to be fixed, or to dirty your hands yourself.  Let's look at the pros and cons.

Microsoft

-They send you a box, you pack your precious cargo in it and send it off.  

-You sit with no XBox and have to resort to twiddling your thumbs.

-A week later and you are still twiddling your thumbs.  Frantically.

-10 days to 4 weeks later you have your new XBox.  It's time to rejoice.

(It's probably not really a new XBox though, just a reconditioned one that some other poor statistic like yourself sent in.)

-You play your heart out, getting new mileage on all your games, all the while hoping that it doesn't happen again...   

Fix it Yourself

-You find a good guide online after wading through many dangerous and downright inappropriate "fixes" like the "towel trick".

(You feel proud of yourself for resisting the towel trick, knowing how it would have overheated your console- shortening the lifespan of your XBox, and that it only would have been temporary anyway.)

-You worry a bit about voiding your warranty, but are relieved about the fact that after 2 hours you'll be battling Slash in Guitar Hero again.

-You are secure in the knowledge that should those pretty red lights show themselves again, you have the cure.

Whatever you decide to do, appreciate your XBox once it's fixed.  And good luck with Slash!

Repair Your Broken Xbox 360 Red Rings on Your Own!

Let me tell you about my experience of purchasing the one game that I had waited what seemed like eons to play. So I get home from the store with my new copy of everyone's favorite car stealing franchise and feverishly rip open the package to get out the prized disc inside. I turn on my 360 and pop in the disc. It spins in the tray and nothing comes up. Uh oh!

Soldering Accessories

Guess what happens next. Red Ring of Death! My 360 decided to take a dump at the worst absolute time possible. It was worse than a nightmare. I tried all sorts of different things and nothing worked.

Soldering Accessories

You have been here yourself I take it? Oh you know how frustrating it is. I couldn't believe that the 360 has done this to me multiple times but of all the times to do it it does it now. I have had enough.

Here are some quick tips to try if your system red rings.

First, remove any game that is in the system and power the unit off. Let it cool down for a bit and then try turning it back on after it has had a while to sit. If luck is shining on you your system may boot and start to work properly.

Second, make sure that the console is not sitting on top of or under any other components such as a receiver or DVD player. These can greatly increase the heat that is around the unit. This heat runs the risk of melting the soldering inside the system which is the main cause of the red rings of death.

Heat is a major issue with the Xbox 360s. Microsoft has since switched to a different chipset that runs much cooler, but there are a lot of consoles out there that may still suffer from overheating issues.

Xbox 360 Three Red Lights Error - Learn How to Fix It

If you have experienced the Xbox 360 Three Red Lights Error do not worry. You can stop spanking your console trying to get it to work. That is likely to cause more components to become loose. Loose components what are you talking about?

Soldering Accessories

Let me explain, You see the main reason for receiving the Xbox 360 three red lights error is overheating. For example consoles enclosed inside entertainment centers can be restricted from airflow. You have to let that puppy breath!

Soldering Accessories

That is why they sell after market coolers to fit on the back of the Xbox 360 because overheating is a big problem, but sometimes coolers are a waist of money and could even cause more problems. Another reason you may receive the Xbox 360 Three Red Light Error is the GPU (General Processing Unit) becoming very hot. The special coating they use on the GPU could be the cause of this.

The extra heating of electrical components causes the motherboard to flex. When this happens soldering to become loose. The lead free solder used in most of todays electronics is is not as strong as the tin solder used in the past. That is why I say you should not spank your console, components may be already loose.

The problems I just described may or may not be the reason you receive the Xbox 360 Three Red Lights Error, but those are the most common problems Xbox 360 owners have been experiencing.

I hope this article was helpful to you. Don't be discouraged though. There is still hope!

How to Fix Your Xbox - The Towel Trick

Before you continue reading, please bear in mind that you may risk a severe damage to your Xbox 360 while implementing the following tips that describe the so called "Towel Trick"!

Soldering Accessories

Many Xbox users are often times facing problems with their console's gaming hardware, ranging from simple graphical problems to serious malfunctions that may completely stop your console from booting at all. The cause for many of such hardware failures lies in poorly processed soldering joints between the console's motherboard and the different hardware modules like the graphics card for example. Those broken joints lead to loose connections and therefore interfere with the whole gaming system.

Soldering Accessories

The "Towel Trick" is directly geared towards fixing those broken soldering joints in a somewhat unusual manner. The goal is to overheat your Xbox so that the solder in those joints begins to melt and form a smooth and crack-free surface. You don't need any special tools for this, just a simple towel or two.

At first you have to unplug all cables from your Xbox console, you will only leave the power cable plugged in. Right after that, and after turning your Xbox on, you have to wrap one or two dry towels around the whole console. You also have to make sure to cover all venting slots and holes in order to maximize the overheating process. The Xbox should now be left running for about 20 minutes so that the solder begins to melt and forms a plain surface along the solder joints.

After those 20 minutes have passed you have to turn your Xbox off and remove the towels. Leave the console for another 20 minutes and let it cool down. That is quite important since it reduces the danger of damaging the integrated hardware! At last, plug all cables back in and try to start your Xbox 360. If everything went right, it should now boot like normal and you will be able to play your favorite games again.

Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death - RROD - The 3 Flashing Red Lights on the Power Button

Are you on the lookout for an Xbox 360 repair service as you experience that your console encountering the "Red Ring Of Death" issue (Known as E74 errors or RROD) and you can't play games without fear of freezing? If so, then this article is for you, you're going to learn more about this problem and how you can fix your Xbox and regain your gaming days.

Soldering Accessories

- The "Red Ring Of Death" is a very known problem for every Xbox 360 owner all around the world. In July 2008, Microsoft admitted that close to 1 million gamer are dealing with this Xbox error and 35% of all consoles sold are failing and the rest have a chance of failure.

Soldering Accessories

- The RROD error is usually indicated by 3 flashing red lights on the power button of your console.

- With an affected Xbox 360, you're no longer be able to enjoy games with peace of mind or any enjoyment. your system will keep freezing and showing the 3 flashing red lights until you fix it.

- If you don't act quickly to fix your Xbox from those dreaded ring of death errors, there is an ever increasing chance your console will incur permanent damage. Permanent damage will mean you won't be able to fix it up.

- The "Red Ring Of Death" issue is caused by overheating. To get the heart of the problem, we need to go into the production process: When Microsoft designed the Xbox 360, they downsized the cooling system in order to accommodate the DVD drive. This design flaw has a bad impact on the system stability. After only a few minutes of playing, the temperature reaches beyond 120 degree inside the case, the motherboard heats up, begins to vibrate and flex against the X-Clamp plastic support. These vibrations loosen the soldering holding the GPU in place which cause an electrical connection failure and your Xbox start flashing the 3 red lights of death.

- Until now, you don't need new repair parts to fix your console, you just need a little tweak to get it up and running again.

- Stopping the GPU from coming loose is the whole issue. This is not a complicated process and you don't need technical skills to perform it yourself at home. For best result, I suggest you see a professional Xbox repair guide with in depth detailed video instructions and pictures which will show you step by step how to take your Xbox 360 apart safely, how to do each step safely and put everything back together. The whole repair takes about 2 hours, after that the red ring of death will be a distant memory so you can enjoy your games without that nagging fear of freezing.

40 Minutes That Anyone Can Use to Fix the Red Rings of Death on the Xbox 360!

If you have found your way to this article then no doubt you have the 3 red lights flashing on your console and are looking for a way to fix this problem. Of course you can send it back to Microsoft and they will fix it for you, however you will be in for a long wait and it can take up to 6 weeks to get your broken console back if you use this method.

Soldering Accessories

Here is what this article will tell you:

Soldering Accessories

What the red lights error means and how you can fix it

Will the fix void your warranty?

How you can stop this happening again?

What is the 3 red rings of doom error and how do I fix it?

The 3 red rings error means that you have a general hardware failure on your Xbox and it is causes by the components in the Xbox 360 overheating. The 2 main chips that do all the work are called the CPU and the GPU and as these heat up through normal usage, they also cool down quickly when the Xbox is turned off.

The changes in heat eventually cause the soldering to become loose and snap off and then you are left with this problem.

All you need to do is learn how to stop the 2 chips from taking so much heat and you can find plenty of guides out there that will tell you how to do this or you can send it back to Microsoft for them to fix it.

Will the fix void your warranty?

There has been a few debates on whether or not these fixes work and there is the infamous towel trick that you should not do as it cooks your console to make the soldering work again but will only work for a little while and then you will have to send it in again.

If you do decide to use an Xbox 360 Repair guide then it will void your warranty as anything that involves opening up the case will get rid of the warranty.

How can you stop this problem happening again?

If you get repair work done properly or do it yourself it will be a permanent fix as long as it stops enough heat getting to the main chips that causes this problem. If you do send it back they will normally give you a free month of Xbox live to put up with the wait. However you will be waiting a month anyway so it is not that free.

I hope this article has explained more about how you can fix this problem with your Xbox and hope you get it sorted soon!

Xbox 360 3 Flashing Lights - Is There Anything I Can Do Before I Send it Away?

If you have 3 flashing red lights on your Xbox 360 then it means that you have a hardware error, this happens when the GPU and the CPU become too hot and the motherboard starts to bend, eventually the soldering becomes loose and you're left with the flashing lights.

Soldering Accessories

So is there anything you can do before you send it back to Microsoft?

Soldering Accessories

Well there are few things that you can try to save your console, the first thing to do is unplugged everything and make sure that when you reconnect everything it is firmly attached and also do not use an extension plug but make sure that you plug it directly into the wall.

Sometimes the lack of power that the console receives can cause you to get the 3 flashing lights.

The second thing that you can try is to remove the hard drive and then reattach it, as is too can cause a problem sometimes and you may find it works.

The third thing you can do to try and fix it is to get the power brick and keep it up off the floor and if you do this it will be allow to breathe on all sides and you may find this helps you console as the power brick can get quite hot and sometimes can be the cause of the problem.

If all the above fails then you will need to give Microsoft a ring and they will arrange to come and pick up your Xbox, the only bad thing with this is the fact that it can take about 3 or 4 weeks to get your console back to you and working again.

If you do not wish to wait that long then you can fix it yourself as long as you get yourself a good video guide that will show you EXACTLY the steps to take to get your 360 back and working.

Make sure that it offers a full refund then if you cannot fix it then at least you can send it off anyway and get it fixed without any problems!

I hope this article has given you some pointers and tips that you can try before you send your Xbox back and hope you get it fixed soon!

Do All Xbox 360's Get the 3 Red Lights of Doom? Find Out the Truth!

If you have found your way to this article then you may or may not have problems with your Xbox 360, however if you do have problems this article will serve as a guide for you to try and fix it, and if you don't have problems then it will tell you a few things that you may need to know for future reference.

Soldering Accessories

The Xbox 360 has been having problems since its release and one of the most prominent problems is the three red lights. When it was first released it was rumoured that about 70 per cent of all Xbox 360's would get this error.

Soldering Accessories

So to answer the question to of all Xbox360's get the 3 red lights?

The answer is probably no, however still quite alot of the consoles end up with this problem. The main reason for this problem seems to be overheating and as the main chips inside the Xbox heat up it causes the motherboard to bend slightly and the soldering to become loose, when this happens you will notice occasional game freezes and you will have to switch the Xbox off and back on again.

Eventually you will get the three red lights and then you will have to send it into Microsoft and they will repair it for you. The repair service is normally very good however you will find that you have to wait for quite a long time to get your Xbox fixed. The average repair time is 4 to 5 weeks!

The only other option you have is to repair the problem yourself and you can do this by using an Xbox 360 repair guide. There are a few of them about online and you should have no trouble finding one, however if you are going to attempt this make sure you get a repair guide with videos and a full guarantee so if it does not work you have not lost anything.

Some of the best repair guides will just tell you how to stop the build up of heat getting to the GPU and the CPU which are the main processors on the motherboard.

I hope this article has told you that bit more about the 3 red lights problem on the Xbox and hope you get back to your games soon!

When and How to Replace a Used iPhone 2G Motherboard

Just as with any computer, the motherboard of an iPhone is the control center. Just like with any computer, when the motherboard is shot, the entire device will cease to function. There are many ways that a motherboard can be ruined, not the least of which includes spilling some kind of liquid on the device, dropping the device in liquid, dropping the device in general, otherwise subjecting the device to a great deal of physical force, or, general wear and tear. Electronics with motherboards that are heavily used for many years can naturally need upgrading. That's why Apple was smart to create products that allow for the easy replacement of the motherboard in the case of their demise, or in the instance that someone would like a simple upgrade.

Soldering Accessories

Also known as the 'logic board' when it comes to the iPhone, when it's time for a replacement, you'll know. Generally, when the phone stops turning on, when the screen constantly freezes, or when it permanently freezes while starting up or even while performing a regular task, it can mean the motherboard is gone. Many people do a home repair when this happens by using a used iPhone 2G motherboard as a replacement part. While it's possible to send the phone back to the manufacturer for a quick fix, the price tag that comes along with it can give many iPhone users an unpleasant shock. Buying a used iPhone 2G motherboard and installing it oneself can save lots of money, but isn't for the faint of heart.

Soldering Accessories

On a scale of 1 to 10, as far as difficultly of iPhone parts replacements go, a used iPhone 2G motherboard is not amongst the most challenging. With few extra special tools required, and no soldering, it looks fairly simple. Many people today are technologically inclined enough to do it with no trouble, especially with the help of an online tutorial. Remember, however, that if you are feeling the least bit uneasy about sticking a used iPhone 2G motherboard in your phone, that it will save time and money in the long run to have it done by a pro!

Finding a used iPhone 2G motherboard is the easy part, as there are many available online. Simply search for the required part in any search engine, and see what prices come up. This particular part may not come cheap, but taking away installation costs, or the cost of a new part, can make a used iPhone 2G motherboard look like a bargain! The beauty of buying used parts via the online community is that trading around parts keeps them out of landfills. Even recycling parts with a recycling center is not as efficient as using the parts to fix up and refurbish the iPhones of other. Become a part of something bigger than yourself, and get some cash back too by throwing in the towel and selling your damaged iPhone online for cash! If not, use the same sources to buy the part you need like a used iPhone 2G motherboard.
