[Tip] Web client connection troubleshooting

  • Tips

1- Check the power cable of computing device. It should be plugged into an FCC certified power outlet of the appropriate wattage for your electronic gizmo. In case you are missing a degree in electronic engineering, the formula for determining load in watts is:

Watts = Amps x Volts

or

P(watts)= I(current) x E(voltage)

Note: 1 kW = 1000 watts

2- Open a browser less than 80 computer years old. Computer years currently fly by at about double the rate of cat years.

3- Now for the really hard part: enter a Uniform Resource Locator into your browser address field. Assuming you know where you are going, the challenge with this can be the typing skills requirement.

I have yet to compile a complete issue list but this is a start....

No, I think you pretty much covered it all.

The only thing you got wrong is that the FCC doesn't certify power outlets!

You're using the formula for DC, while most poweroutlets provide you with AC. With AC you have to take RMS into account! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square
