Computer newbies: What is IEEE1394 ?
What is IEEE1394 ?
by sarahbn - 3/13/09 2:51 PMMy computer is about a year a a half old and next to two USB 2.0 ports is this port. It says it's high speed in the owners manual but it's not firewire What's the difference?

For example a quick search of Google comes up with the link below:
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/I/IEEE_1394.html
And since Firewire is the most common port for such, are you sure it's not Firewire.. Below are a couple of links to pictures for such ports.

Really
by sarahbn - 3/14/09 5:19 AM In reply to: 2 by chickenorfishI didn't know that. Are they compatible?
(NT) Yes, again like USB
by Edward ODaniel - 3/14/09 11:07 AM In reply to: Really by sarahbnThen why doesnt the cord fit into port?
by sarahbn - 3/15/09 7:02 AM In reply to: (NT) Yes, again like USB by Edward ODanielIt won't plug in
What size is the port?
by Coryphaeus - 3/15/09 7:23 AM In reply to: Then why doesnt the cord fit into port? by sarahbnLarge or small. What size is your cord? As was stated, there are two sizes.
Did you look at ...
by Edward ODaniel - 3/15/09 9:37 AM In reply to: Then why doesnt the cord fit into port? by sarahbnthe LINKS Griff provided for you? They clearly show that different cables are available (JUST LIKE USB) for when the peripheral has one type connector and the PC has the other type - it is up to you to get a cable that will make the connections.
(NT) Okay Thank you

by GENE8 - 3/21/09 12:02 AM In reply to: What is IEEE1394 ? by sarahbnUSB 2.0 has a speed of 480 mbps, while FireWire(IEEE1394) runs at 400 Mbps(1394a) and 800Mbps(1394b) respectively. Obviously, the only advantage you will get with FireWire over USB 2.0 is with a 1394b connection. With the exception of speed and connection, there is little difference between USB and FireWire. Although USB does support a maximum of 127 devices while FireWire only supports 63 devices. And Firewire can be daisy chained, while USB must be connected directly to a hub.
Dell battery port recharger
by pathking - 3/21/09 5:37 PM In reply to: What is IEEE1394 ? by sarahbnMy daughters inspiron 6000 has difficulty recharging because the plastic receptacle into which the recharger pin inserts is loose and loses contact, causing the screen to flicker
Is this part attached to the motherboard permanently, which would require replacing the motherboard or can it be simply replaced by a Dell repair shop
