If you don't know the source of the problem, it is kind of hard to be sure where you need to fix it. I imagine that a whole house conditioner would be meant to address problems with power coming into the house. If the problem is inside the house, it probably isn't the best solution. As far as I remember you don't know where the problem originates and you don't actually know the nature of the problem. What do you actually know and what do you suspect? As far as I remember: - You fixed one problem by replacing a serial cable connecting your computer and your reader (DB9 to DB25). It is very unlikely that that this cable problem was caused by a power problem - you suspect that something in the power supply may have damaged something else in your computer. Do you know of any symptoms? - one of your devices (I forget which) spontaneously shut off. I don't remember whether this was a single event Are there any other symptoms of power problems? (I too suffer a problem that might be power-related. My home office seems to burn out LED lightbulbs more quickly than it should. I don't know where to start on that one. It might even be heat related rather than power-related.) | From: Karen Lewellen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | My landlord has offered to give me a dedicated line in my living room, not | sure how that would impact my office as I shared I believe. | Least complex, but most impactive solution will likely be the one he | embraces, he keeps saying that the prior tenet never complained..while having | o idea how they managed power.
