He has just wrote to me saying.

If I rell him WHEN I will send the clock back

he will return the money.

Nice to see some people agreeing with me on the packaging.

If you can picture a 13 inch circle of thin glass covered in bubble wrap

and soft cardboard you could tell that it probably broke before it left

his local post office in Isreal.

I think I will stil tell him I will not send the clock back even though if I lied I would get my

money back.This is'nt about the money for me.I can take an 850bt hit but I'm not

going to re wrap it up and go down to the post office and put my hand in my

pocket again.

The laptop wouldn't start this morning.It had two white lights in front of the touchpad

I brought the charger to the shop and he said it was fine so now the whole machine is in.

Let's hope it's those dirty connections you talk about.

Will keep you posted.

The glass face of the clock was covered with 2 layers of bubble wrap and soft card board.

Any tip and the glass would be broken without a mark on the packaging.

Which is what happened.The packaging was a joke.

Does the seller have a way to give me a bad review if I give him one.

My attitude may sound bad in print but it's not like that.

It's just that I would prefer to loose the money rather than post the item back

and spend more money doing so.

If you saw how ridiculus the packaging was you would think the same.It's a wonder how he got it to the post office without breaking it.

So is that the final diagnosis then.

Order a new charger.

If so I will order one from INVADIT,

It's not worth half a days driving for 850baht for me.

I'm annoyed at what has happened there was no way

the parcel could not get broken in shipping it was so poorly wrapped.

I will tel the guy I'm not shipping it back and see what he says.

There is a clause where the parcel is unfit to return i.e leaking battery or damaged beyond

repair when the buyer doesn't have to ship back.I'm hoping broken glass will qualify for this.

What ever,win or loose,I'm not shipping it back.

My Lenova AC/DC adapter-a.k.a brick-has Output 20v-written on it.

You say "use the voltmeter to confirm the D/C voltage."

What voltmeter............

Thanks all,we're making progress.

Battery bar says---6.2% of 47,520 mwh.Is that good or bad.

The brick half way down the power line is years old and has been hot

for most of that time.

How are they sold.It comes apart from the cable at one side.

Right,

I will try the Aldara first.

If it doesn't work I will go to my regonal private

hospital.

How much does the aldara cost per week if it costs

200 per sachet.

Appreciate the help,folks

The easiest thing is not driving down the mountain and

posting it back if I'm not obliged to do that..

Does the seller give me my money back before or after I return the item.

And then who pays my shipping cost to Isreal

I just received a wall clock by registered post.

It was wrapped in bubble wrap and soft cardboard.

The glass face was smashed and the glass at the back was broken

and there were cogs falling out.

I emailed the guy and he said it was 'very well wrapped with bubble.'

And he wants me to post it back.

I live 40 winding mountain kms from a post office.

I do not want to go down and spend money on postage to Israel.

I have already spent extra for registered post.

Am I obliged to sent it back before I get my money back.

Right,

And I presume the charger is inside the machine

and that means a trip to the repair shop.

For the last two nights in a row my computer went on to battery power

even though it was plugged in.

I would take out the power lead and put it back in and it would go back

to plugged in and charging but only for about 3 minutes before it went back to

running on batteries again.

Eventually I just turned it off and went to bed.Each night it would be fully charged by

morning.

But this morning the red battery light in front of the mouse pad is on even though it says

fully charged on the task-bar.

Any one know what this is all about

That's great RichCor,

I've just got WinRar.

Do they leave you it for free indefinitely.

Hi,

What's the best free program for unzipping files on windows 7.

I download some files that are compressed and just want a simple free program to un-zip them.

Thanks

O.K

I was just wondering,where ever I get the transformer

is there a minimum wattage that it should be made for

or do I just trust Maw and Paw to have one for power tools.

Any way,thanks for the help folks,much appreciated.

100W-Voltage-Converter-220V-110V-Power-Converter-Transformer-Adapter-

I see this for sale on eBay,is this what I'm looking for or is 100watts too little.

O.K,

The thing is I've already got a jigsaw from America.

Is it worth buying a transformer for it.

It's made by SKIL and I don't know if there good or not.

Also I'm used to power tools with the strength of the motor

measured in watts but this one says 5 amps so I don't know

how powerful it is.

I cant find them on the homepro website but the are on eBay.

What wattage do I need and is it 110 to 220 I need or visa versa.

Will it perform just as well or will the transformer reduce the performance.

Thanks.

Are these adapters expensive and are they available in Thailand or where might be the best place to get one.

Simple question,

Can you use an American power tool in Thailand,one with 120v written on it.

O.K all,

My laptop is running really well now.

In fact it seems a split second faster than I've ever seen it.

I left it on all night and it didn't disconnect.

Thanks a million for your help it's really appreciated.

Right, I got to a page called "manage wireless networks"

It told me that my computer was set to automatically connect to my neighbors wifi with my wifi as second preference.

I took my neighbors wifi off the page.

Then I went to "change adapter settings" and it told me that I was connected to my wireless network even though my cable was plugged in.

I plugged out the cable.

I will have to use my computer for a few hours tomorrow to see if these were the only problems

that were affecting my connection.

Thanks for the help guys.

I had ruled out the physical damage since it has been working perfect for a few weeks.

There was a flashing notice about about a conflict from the taskbar.

So I will go ahead with what Thai20144 recomended in his first post.

I will let you know how I get on.

Hi,

I had a post about this a few weeks ago.My laptop keeps either gets an X in the place where it shows connection to the net in the task bar or it starts to turn the pages really slowly.

On the last post I was advised to update my drivers and I got slimdrivers and the problem went away until a few days ago.

I've checked slimdrivers again and it says that I'm up to date.

Some of the recommendations from the last post were......disable the power management...........turn the router off for a minute ........change the channel setting on the router........turn off automatic updates...............

If anybody could tell me which of these I should check first and how to do it I would be very grateful.

Yes RihCor it's when the file is an image that I have problems.

I right click and download with my downloader and the file is .jpg.

But ABEYY will convert these files and I have a two office type programs

to choose from.

That was good help,fast.

Hi,

Here's the thing.

My wife and I teach English and neither of us are good with computers.

I have started getting our worksheets(documents) from off the net and

putting them on a memory stick.

She then puts the memory stick onto her laptop,edits them with Windows Words

and prints them out.

So far so good,but when ever I get a file that Windows Word won't open she can't edit it before printing.

I have FreeFileViewer for opening it but that won't edit it.

As far as I can see it there's two way's round this,

1- change the filles to windows words format before I give it to her.

If that's possible or............

2-Get an office type program that would open those files.

The second solution would be less easy as I would have to learn how to use it and then

teach her how to do it in Thai.

So recommendations please for a program that converts all documents into windows words format............

Or the simplest office words type of program for editing documents.............

Or another possibly more obvious solution if there is one..........

Thanks
