Laptop problems...

21/10/2013

 
I didn't post these few days because my laptop went completely out with many problems. Fujitsu changed for me a HDD that wasn't spoilt, but detected as spoilt due to BIOS problem on my laptop. Fortunately enough, they got a new BIOS update for my laptop model. They swapped out a spare HDD for me and did a BIOS update, then swap back to the original replaced HDD. Everything worked after that, how nice. The technician was extremely kind and patient to help me to resolve my issue :D

They changed for me my LCD screen, CD/DVD Combo drive, WiFi adapter, Motherboard fan, and lastly, the HDD. 

First week of school was okay for me. Nothing much happened except for meeting some of my new lecturers (Some of the lecturers taught us before). Timetable was surprising good, as I do not have to report to school on Tuesdays (how great). I'm starting to learn Java programming language using Eclipse for this semester. I can say that it is everything that I've hoped to do every since Primary school, which is to officially learn programming in school :)

Just a few more things about my laptop, it is freaking fast right now. Thanks to all the new hardware that they replaced for me. The LCD screen looks amazing. The previous screen was made by LG and now the replaced screen is made by Samsung (maybe that made the difference). I'm having dramatically lesser screen glare on my laptop, especially when viewing from the sides. With the BIOS updated, I can expect higher stability with my laptop as well :)

Was just trying out DraStic emulator on my Nexus 7, it worked great. This is also the first NDS emulator that is without lag, far better than any emulator ran on PC. I also fixed the problem which my iPhone was unable to download any new applications by doing a restore. I bought a Micro USB cable last week and it arrived a few days ago. It is flawless, and it is rare. Considering that cables are sold cheaply, this should be a pretty good deal. The one I bought is Nylon braided, which is supposed to be stronger and more durable against wear and tear. I used it to charge my Nexus 7 yesterday and it worked brilliantly. I might consider buying one for my iPhone if they fixed the popular (Accessory not supported error) problem.

Just watched Despicable Me 2 again (The first time was in cinemas). I transferred the movie clip over to my Nexus 7 and played it using MX Player Pro. 1080p movie on a 720p screen looked great. Everything is well for me now and hopefully there won't be any new problems for me, at least not so many at the same time :/

As always, take care and I'll see you soon :)
