*PLEASE READ* The purpose of this video is to show how easily some alarm systems can be bypassed. Some of you may think that it’s a stupid idea to reveal vulnerabilities of security systems, but I believe it’s better that everyone knows – not just the burglars. Hopefully this will encourage manufacturers to further improve their products and also help end-users to better understand what they want from their system. I would like to hear comments from other wireless alarm system owners! In my mind, alarm systems have two missions: 1. Local alarm (when the user returns, he can – by looking at the system – notice that an alarm has occurred while he was away) 2. Remote alarm (notifying predefined persons through SMS for example) This technique prevents both from happening. I tried this with a PIR detector too. This is just one example of how to circumvent alarm systems. There are others too, for both wireless and wired. The reason why I decided to upload this, was because it really is so ridiculously easy that anyone can do it, and it has almost no risk involved. This particular system is approved by my local insurance companys.

A Detailed Look at the Nokia N95 8GB Mobile Phone
First, the design of the Nokia N95 8GB is as a two-way slider. Its predecessor is the Nokia N95 mobile phone which has a smaller memory – and that is something that you may want to consider when renewing your mobile phone deals.
The Nokia N95 8GB is an excellent camera phone. Aside from the 5-Megapixel resolution, the built-in camera has Carl Zeiss optics, Tessar lens, auto focus and integrated flash. The 2-Megapixel phone cameras out there definitely pale in comparison with the Nokia N95 8GB. There is a separate camera located in front for video calling.
The Nokia N95 8GB is also a great music phone, with FM stereo and a media player which recognizes MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC, eAAC+, WMA and W4A file formats.
However, the highlight of the Nokia N95 8GB is the massive storage. If you are looking for a well-rounded phone which can easily compete with the other models included in the Nokia NSeries, you cannot do any better than the Nokia N95 8GB mobile phone.

The BenQ lcd monitor model FP731 problem is no power symptom. If you have read my previous articles, you would know that I would not immediate use all my testing gear to check the whole power and inverter board instead I would use my eyes to scan all the components first before starting to use my digital multimeter to check on the fuse and other components first.
I saw about 8 filter capacitors that had bulged and leaked on top of its capacitor casing. We have the first clue and if my assumption is right, only the capacitors that caused no power symptoms. However in order to be in the safe side we have to check other components as well.
Looking at the power primary side didn’t reveal any burnt or cracked components in the board. It is not good enough just by looking at the board, we must check few of the critical components first in order to confirm that it is safe to switch on the power after the replacement of the 8 faulty capacitors. The critical components that I referred to was the fuse, power or chopper fet (mosfet), switch mode power supply primary winding and secondary diodes. If you have the experienced, you can check all of the components on board without removing it but of course the smps primary winding you have to use a flyback tester to test it.
After all the critical components tested okay, I would presume that after the replacement of the defective capacitors, I could immediately switch on the lcd monitor without connecting a light bulb first. There is no necessary to connect the light bulb because the power side components were tested okay besides the fuse didn’t blow in the first place.
For your information, most of the capacitors used in the LCD power supply were from the 105 degree Celsius in order to last longer and stand the heat produce by the power supply itself. If you replace with an 85 Celsius capacitor, it would not last long and may come back with capacitor problems again.
The Benq FP731 lcd monitor problems was restored to normal operation after the 8 filter capacitors was replaced. Capacitors breakdown was very common in the lcd monitor because of it compact design where the heat have difficulty to transfer out due to the power supply board was covered by an aluminum shielding. Sometimes after few hours of operation, you could feel the extreme heat at the aluminum shielding and surrounding area. This is a good news to us as an electronic repairer because more and more lcd monitor send in for repair because of capacitors faults only.

We have seen and experienced a remarkable evolution since 1990âs in the mobile device market. Among these, HTC is a popular name that has been quickly taking over the market for mobile phones. Founded in 1997, Taiwan based HTC (High Tech Computer Corp) is the Worldâs leading manufacturer of Windows mobile devices. They design, manufacture and market innovative, feature rich Smartphone and PDA Phone devices.
HTC devices carry the unique tradition of providing âSmart mobilityâ to everyone. They have made a great progress in a very short time by introducing a wide range of popular Smartphones, Pocket PCs and finally now Ultra mobile PC. Another major achievement made in the year 2007 was its alliance with Google Android. Looking at the rising demand of HTC devices, they are expected to generate 20 percent growth rate for 2008 as they hope to continue building their own brand to drive sales.
Differentiating itself from the rest of the competitors, HTC recently came up with its new TouchFLO technology embedded in HTC Touch that allows users to use their fingertips to launch applications and make phone calls. Other than being well known for its Smartphones, HTC has launched some highly admired Pocket PCs such as Touch Dual and HTC Touch Cruise. HTC Cruise is integrated with GPS capabilities so that the device users can easily âcruiseâ with it when they are out for travel. Their next addition HTC Shift is the first Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) released by HTC. The Shift combines the power of Windows Vista and advanced wireless connectivity into an innovative and compact design that creates a new paradigm for mobile computing.
HTC is one of the fastest growing companies in the mobile device market.
HTC Advantage is another new release that delivers extreme portability by leveraging the mobile office strengths of Windows Mobile 6 and advanced wireless connectivity in one of the smallest mobile computer designs available. On exploring the progress made in the Smartphone market, HTC S710 is the first Smartphone with a stylish slide out QWERTY keyboard. It is packed with lots of innovative capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, email, multimedia, Windows mobile 6 and a lot more.
HTCâs devices are ideal for enterprise customers because of their flexibility by which company-personalized software and user interfaces can be easily integrated by the supplier. There is variety of third party applications available in the market, ranging from utility to business, lifestyle to entertainment, travel to health, all designed to enhance HTCâs abilities. Some prominent in-built applications are voice, email, SMS, internet access, data communications and electronic diary/calendar/personal organizer and more.
HTC devices are rapidly gaining popularity but they still have to face a constant challenge of competing with leading manufacturers like Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson in the years to come. In the end, looking at the progress and capabilities of these devices, we can say that HTC has all the growing trend of becoming the next sensation among users.
