Not enough AC Plug Points

azbro — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 21:37:04 +0800

Well, I'm in a situation now...

I've got these equipments sharing a single plug point (sighs).
1) 42inch Plasma TV
2) HTS
3) Wireless Modem
4) Media Player
5) Small fan for for the Media player

Now I wanna add:
6) Vantec Hardisk docking
7) Spare...for my gaminig laptop (90w)

I think I will overload the plug.

Do i have to change the wirings from the DB?...Its a hassle cause the wires are built in to the walls.
The wiring is standard and came with the house
I don't want to hack the wall to do wiring again or use ugly conduits.

Can I just take out the socket, add a ELCB and make 7 plug point from it?

I'm sure some of you that never have enough plug points can share your experience.

Thanks

Bookmark a DVD

azbro — Fri, 15 May 2009 10:39:17 +0800

Hi,

I hope members can help me out, before I post this topic, I did a search in Lowyat forums so far I dun think got discuss something like this.
(nope, this got nothing to do with pirated stuff)

My problem is:

I've to do a presentation every week using a company DVD (I can't clone it or convert to avi due to intellectual properties).
The DVD need to be index/bookmark in 13 parts. This is due when I do presentation, I don't do the whole disc one time, I've to do it part by part (time constrain)

How do I create shortcuts for this 13 parts so that when I wanna play part 7, it will straight away play it only?
Of course, each part I've to link it to the time on the DVD.

Example is when I insert the DVD, then click a shortcut on my computer, it will straight away go to the selected time on the DVD.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

azbro

2.5 External Hard Drive

azbro — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:53:57 +0800

err..sorry to post this topic, not sure if its been discussed or not..sorry MODs...

Did a google search and seems like there are a few models out there that has a socket to plug in the adapter (notably the WD passport).
But I went to check it out but seems like dun have...example in the WD passport. Maybe its for US model.
I didn't look at the actual stuff, but only the casing was available for viewing.

Reason need to plug in the adapter is I'll be using this mainly for my Philips DVD player equip with USB slot.
I dun think the USB slot is able to power the HDD...I think it was meant for USB thumbdrives only.

So I hope to get some info abt models that really have this socket to plug in an adapter.
And hope to get some tips and which is the best model to buy for 160GB (more than enough for me).

tq in advance.

StreamyX slow/disconnect during cloudy/rain days

azbro — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:05:18 +0800

My father complaining to me when its cloudy, streamyx slow and when it rains it gets disconnected.
Since i go to my dads house every weekend, I think its true....
I know you guys think I'm crazy..but even my brother staying with my dad also confirms this.

A quick call to TM and they ask me to check my settings and etc...yeah..the same bull...
So far, my dad say all wires from the modem to the telephone poll has been change last year.

I hope someone who has experience in this, please advise me what to do...

No WLAN from DSL 2640T

azbro — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:27:48 +0800

Hi guys..help me out as I googled everywhere, called the unresponsive DLink techical support...still no hope..

It all happen when I just got my Streamyx and setting it up at home...since this was my first time at it, I had to change the configuration this and that.
When I finally got it to work,...I can't remember if I have wireless or not....seems like the WLAN lite no lighting...it only lights when power on or during reset...for only 5 secs...thats it.

When I search for any Wireless with my Laptop also dun have. I've disable and enable the 'Enable AP' a few times also dun work. The Hardware Reset button and also Factory reset seems like no changes...the WLan seems dun wanna work at all...

Now, I've to use a wire between the 2640T instead of wireless to get internet connection...like that I better use the modem supplied by TM instead of RM250 wireless Dlink.

I really hope someone can help me 'activate' the wireless.

Thanks in advance...much appreciated..

Just to add...the most significant changes i made to the setup was using bridge mode (as recommended my streamyx) and changing the VPI to 0.

Using Nero avi to DVD...still no dolby

azbro — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:57:08 +0800

Hmm...I'm at it again, this time I downloaded Van Hellsing...with over the top Dolby sound using Nero 8.

But when I convert to DVD, there is no dolby sound at all. I also used the Dolby AC3 5.1 during convertion...so now even Nero dun work...previously I thought Windows Movie Maker wasn't good enough..

Has anyone succesfully converted avi to DVD and maintain dolby sound?..

Please help

Windows Movie Maker and Dolby

azbro — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:35:11 +0800

Hi there,

I hope someone can help me or clarify something..
I burned a few DTS, Dolby and WMV type of demos with Windows Movie Maker (ver.6 Vista) in a DVDR but notice the surround effects are very - very soft...it was so bad I had to up the rear volume to full and the rest to minimal.
I also burned a downloaded movie (i,Robot) and confirm the the original .avi files got more surround effects than the movie I published with Windows movie Maker.

Is this norm for Windows Movie Maker?

Laptop with XP and CDR...where to find?

azbro — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 13:30:39 +0800

It time for me to replace my old company HP notebook...BUT..due to electronic security reasons...

My company has implemented some crazy rule that all computer purchases must still be using the XP...and darn....must not have a burner on it!

If desktop easy to find....but laptop? I did tell the administrator and he told me if I wan the laptop, find it yourself...

Yes, i did find two...IBM X61 and Panasonic T5...both abt 12inch and cost....Rm7000 above!!!..Darn! with that kinda money...I should be getting the Godly specs like the XPS1730...but instead...a lame unit...
and worst thing is, I dun think my Boss is going to sign a 7K toy laptop.

So I hope that some members know of any model which is still using XP and CDR/DVD reader...instead of a burner.

Thxs in advance...

LCCI needed before CIMA?

azbro — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 11:00:53 +0800

Help.. I asking this for my wife...since she is so busy working and never got time to survey forums, hope I can help her out.

She got SPM only but since working 10 years in the Account Dept, need to further improve in her education level. Now she is a Accounts assistant officer. I think she can't go further up anymore with that SPM.
She is working for a manufacturing plant doing printers.

So, I went to a Edu fair yesterday and there were many options she can choose from. Example, someone recommended CIMA, other guy recommended James Watt advance diploma.

So, which I should choose from, but my wife said, there is no point in taking any of them unless got LCCI, cos' things like full set accounting is not even thought in CIMA.

I hope someone can help me out in this education route. Most of the courses are expensive and I really need some help here

Thx in advance.
