So one of the coolest new gizmos out is the Garmin Nuvi 880. It’s kind of a big deal, and there’s been some debate out in the forums and chatrooms as to whether or not it is, more or less, the best portable GPS out there.
We can’t put the final nail in that debate’s coffin, people will keep arguing about it until the thing becomes outdated several years from now. Any popular device is going to spark this kind of debate, and it’s certainly healthy, as it stirs up public interest.
But, we can give you the vital statistics of the product, and let you decide.
Now, usually we’d start off with the screen size or Bluetooth connectivity or something, but the first thing worth noting about the Garmin Nuvi 880 is the price. New, you might find it in the area of eight hundred bucks, but you might actually be able to snag one for five hundred. Just a few years ago, there was no way you could find such a tough little GPS for anything less than a couple grand.
So anyways, on with the technical statistics:
Display - 4.3 inch screen with a 480 x 272 resolution. The image is absolutely beautiful and crystal clear, so you’re not going to be squinting at the screen to try and figure out where you’re supposed to be going.
Dimensions - 3.10 inches tall by 4.90 inches wide by .7 0 inch thick. It’s about the size of a dollar bill, and about the thickness of an empty wallet, so there’s no worry about having a big fat brick sticking out of your pocket. In other words, it should be easy enough to take with you everywhere, from road trips to hiking excursions.
It comes loaded with City Navigator NT maps for North America, which include over six million points of interest, searchable by name. This means you can just ask the thing for directions to say, the LA Museum of Arts, and not have to go look up the address first.
Speech recognition and voice feedback means drivers won’t need a navigator referencing the device in the passenger seat. You can even ask it direct questions like “Where am I?”, and it will tell you, including street names.
Something else that’s pretty cool, the Nuvi 880 comes with an MP3 player and a photo viewer, so it’s basically the only gizmo you need to keep in your car.
It works as a hands free cell phone, it constantly updates traffic reports with MSN Direct content, it gives you realtime gas prices, movie times, audio books, it can plug into your car’s stereo system…
Is it the best portable GPS on the market? Well put it this way, if you pick up a Garmin Nuvi 880, you might never buy another portable GPS again as long as you live. To be fair, you could say that about a small handful of portable GPS units, but the fact remains that the Nuvi 880 is, at least, somewhere around the top of the food chain when it comes to portable GPS.

Motherboard battery failure
The laptop battery is dead motherboard cause of computer failure can not be started, see dell battery.
A telephone rings, I awakened from a dream that a friend’s computer problem: press the power button, the computer and nothing happens repeatedly press the power switch is still invalid. After my initial analysis, is likely to be part of the problem of power is not enough power (power of low-grade “patent”) is a short-circuit switch, Collect a variety of tools for a pretty good idea after a friend went straight home.
Indeed, such as friends above, no matter how pressing the power switch (socket and verify that there is good access to electricity), the computer just like wood, like the “one drop of a hat.” Computer does not have any alarm sound, the motherboard does not seem to load the required voltage, power supply fan is not moving, it appears that the computer simply will not be able to power up. Open the chassis closer look at the motherboard and power supply connections and there is nothing abnormal, the power switch is also not short-circuit signs readily connect to other parts again still boot failure.
As the power of “suspects” the greatest, I have decided to replace the method used to verify, just-on-hand to have a 250W power supply, installed after the computer is still “silent”; Is this 250W power supply is Li dell latitude d520 battery, dell latitude d600 battery, dell latitude d610 battery? At this time I noted the chassis installed in the four IDE devices: two hard drives and two CD-ROM. Friends said that just to upgrade, it appears that is likely to be caused by excessive power supply, two of which I immediately unplug the power plug of equipment, try to boot, the computer has not the slightest reaction.
While I am prepared to give up when suddenly the computer’s power supply fan spinning up, then heard the sound of the hard drive self-test, the display is also slowly changing light, the computer launched! But soon, start interrupting, showing “CMOS Load Failure”, and prompted by the “F2″ key to start, according to “Del” to enter the BIOS settings, no matter, I press the F2 key to enable the system to continue to guide, but in any case can not enter the Windows XP desktop, had to restart. The press “Del” key to enter the BIOS settings, friends trying to enter a password, but directly to the, and found the time to view positioned at 0:00 on January 1, 1999, and it is clear the CMOS gd761, td347, dell inspiron 6400 battery is dead . Immediately bought a new battery into one, and all equipment connected to the boot again, the smooth startup of the computer, but still showed “CMOS Load Failure”, had no choice but to enter the BIOS settings to choose “Load BIOS SAFE DEFAULTS” and restart the smooth into the Windows XP desktop, and all the restoration unabated. In the thought that the problem has been resolved, the friends suddenly find missing floppy drive icon, the system did not identify the floppy! Is just now beginning to think that the song might touch the floppy drive connection, so no choice but to open the case more thin, but still can not see the boot floppy. Calm down, just recall the operation “Load BIOS SAFE DEFAULTS”, the floppy drive is set to the default “None”, and restart to enter the BIOS settings, was to prove my idea to come back immediately, with a floppy drive while .
Recalling the whole process, everything is small CMOS battery to blame, it seems that analysis can not be in accordance with the experience of walking, but should be adaptable, to deal with the specific environment; as to why no power CMOS, the computer can start suddenly, Although my analysis may be connected to power after the computer does not start, but the power supply has power to the motherboard, the motherboard CMOS battery to be sufficient dell inspiron e1505 battery, dell inspiron 6400 battery power to start the computer, they have taken place in front of the scene.
