Harvey Norman have a 1TB External HDD for $192, i think its Maxtor.

Im not convinced my screen is cactus, i can still see the display, very feintly however. I would have thought that when its stuffed, its black, or bizarre lines in obscure places, etc.

the screen LCD's might be fine, but it sounds like the backlight has died.

I have been through a chain of companies, HP says ring them, they say ring them, was finally referred to CompuClinic on South Rd. They are gonna charge me $55 for a quote, 3-4 business days. Anyone here wanna beat it? lol.

I googled "free quote computer repair Adelaide" and got onto a bloke who listed his services on gumtree.com. Name is Patrick, just starting out, and hell come to my house to look at it for no cost... Dunno how trustworthy this is, he doesn't have a business name or anything.

Dude thats shithouse

Call up Notepaq - they do repairs only on laptops and are really good and affordable. Can't remember the name of the bloke who runs it (vietnamese chap) but he always looks after ya

They used to be located on Torrens Road after the Bombay Bicycle Club but they might have moved to Ward St, North Adelaide

-D

Damo are you sure you haven't accidentally activated some 'super power saving' mode, which makes the backlight switch off? I take it you are running off a power supply, not battery - are you sure it is working properly?

Not going with Patrick, needless to say.

Andrew - im sure, i had just finished burning some PDF's, came back to it and it the screen was dull. Laptop is always connected to AC, the battery is old and has about 3-4 mins standalone life from full charge.

Went through the Yellow pages, contacted a bloke who is around the corner from my house. He thinks its the backlight as well, so is getting me a price to supply and fit a new one today, and will go to MSY for my to pick up the HDD and fit it if im happy with the total quote. Sounds alright to me.

u sure can, i use mine as a modem for my eee pc when my dsl goes down.

need to jb it, and there are a few applications that u can use to share the internard from the iphone either by usb cable, or using the iphone as a wifi router

i also use my sony ericsson k850i for nextG broadband via a bluetooth connection to the EEE... gotta love having a backup for adsl heh

Ok thanks I check it out.

Does ADSL stop alot these days?

Back in 2005 before I moved here I had 256k ADSL1, however I lived around the corner from the exchange (Modbury). even though it was only 256k it seemed alot quicker to act than my 2.5mbps wireless :)

But it never missed a beat, isnt it the same these days?

PS. what does "jb it" mean? lol

Thanks for the help guys but I think I will just wait (and/or browse on the iphone itself) until the next billing cycle starts.

Not too keen on voiding the waranty on a $800, 2-3 month old phone lol

My old Nokia, you could just plug it in and I would be online in a few clicks....

EDIT: Just another 6 days of this: :)

Which will also void your warranty :D

Three dont give enough data to use phone as modem but this phone works fine by itself here

if u read thru the forums, there are a couple of dudes that have sent jb'd phones to apple, and had no problems. its pretty easy to restore the OS back to its origional state in any case... very hard to brick an iPhone, unless u throw it at something that is

after being told it probably isn't worth fixing my laptop, im looking at new ones.

http://www.harveynorman.com.au/products/in...-new-range.html

Looks pretty good for what i use it for, 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2 RAM, 512mb dedicated graphics.

my logitech keyboard has gone nuts!!

with a single keystroke multiple charachters appear, none of which are the one that i pressed. apparently it is a know issue, and they released a firmware update for the wireless reciever.... i have tried that, but it didnt fix sh!t

here is what i have tried in my troubleshooting:

-remove logitech driver

-uninstall setpoint (the software that controls the keyboard n mouse)

-run setpoint without the reciever update

-boot in safe mode

-disable antivirus

and also all combinations of the above.

the mouse remains unnafected, and my PS2 keyboard is running fine (but it sucks)

it behaves in the same manner on Vista, XP professional and windoxs 7 RC.

i have posted up on the logitech forums and been thouroughly ignored... so i emailed them, and we'll see if they can resolve it...

anyone else got any ideas?

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
