So went to Corsair laptop service centre just now. " Kaizen " Nehru Place to get my 4GB ram replaced.

I asked if i really need to come down there or is there any other option, the lady tells me " service center hei anna padega "

The place looked like freaking 10 year old toaster repair shop opened in khoka 

Some Auntiji was sitting I asked  if they can check the Ram and tell me if its ok or not. so I would just know now if i need to replace it or not :

Reply Can't do it.

I asked when will I get new Ram or you guys will give me the same thing back: Don't know corsair service aisehei hai...

They also had Dlink ...Aoc...and bunch of other service centres showing on their 10 year old board.

Honestly seems like crosair India support is totally cr*p!

Did not even get any SMS or anything of the complain. Its freaking 20 years kind of service. Just got printed receipt !

Now I need to go again after 2 days... grr. Travelling and wasting time like this is not cheap ! It almost took 3 hours to go and come back !

Is any thing else I can do so I get this thing done properly I don't want to end with the same Ram again specially if these people have no clew  what will happen !

I should have gotten the dam thing replaced from FK when i had gotten couple of BSOD errors in the month i purchased it !

How can I get this delivery done via courier ? 

The physical store owners are now getting together to protest against the undercutting of prices by online retailers. They have launched a website – We Will Act – that condemns the business practices undertaken by ecommerce sites (mind you, in very strong words). They have also written to the Competition Commission of India, complaining that their online counterparts are selling goods below cost and skirting Indian laws on foreign direct investment in retail.

My cousin found this ISP today. Is anyone using this or has used this?

Here's their website : http://weinternet.in/advt-mumbai_mirror.html

Their plans seem really cheap and no fup !!

I am planning to buy an ink advantage MFP. The cartridge used is HP 678 tri black+tri colour. Is any body using these ink advantage printers. Cartridge now used is Hp 678, earlier models were coming with Hp 685 cartridges. 

I want to know if these cartridges can be refilled for long. I have heard people refilling them but they are not lasting more than 2-3 refills.

One seller also told me the same.

Can anyone tell from their experience if it is really so, and how many times have you refilled?

Thanks

So, I am upgrading the core components of my existing PC (CPU, Motherboard and RAM to be more specific).  I had bought Windows 8 license during the Rs.699 offer, which is an upgrade license I suppose.  It got activated without issues when I had once reformatted my current PC and installed it afresh.  Now coming to the point, after upgrading these components, the PC would act as new right?  Will I face any issues while activation?  Has anybody done it?

I would be trying a fresh install using the Windows 8.1 ISO.  Would be following the steps done by Sushubh which he had mentioned in another thread, was successful.

Any more info would be appreciated.

Based on a tweet from EVLeaks today, it looks like the Lumia 920 will be available in a few additional shades: white, grey and black.

MTNL 1000 Plan 

TP Link Router

Model No. TD-W8968

Firmware Version:

0.6.0 0.4 v0005.0

Build 130217 Rel.62075n

Hardware Version:

TD-W8968 v1 00000000

I have been facing this internet disconnection issue for past 8 months.

Solution 1.

Changed the router straight way since I thought my D-Link + ADSL modem from MTNL had got spoilt.

Got new router TP Link

Nothing happened, still bad internet.

Solution 2.

Called MTNL guys, they bundled the 2 core wire from end to end to - 4 core, they merged the 4 wires each and joint them end to end.

This was stupid move as this was even worst, as this would not let the ADSL handshake complete and would take ages to even STABLE ADSL Light.

Solution 3,

After calling 100 time to mtnl and the visit and calling DMG and GM, the LAZY man sitting in the exchange who is the senior most only told me to change the cable from my house to the out side of my home to the next point of connection in the BOX.

Told me he would not do anything untill I change the wire.

I got the wire changed with CAT 6, not even CAT 5, even better.

Nothing changed, still I have bad sessions. and constant disconnections.

TP Link PPP LOGS show sessions disconnections 

The MTNL http://register.mtnl.net.in Site also showed bad sessions.

So I was sure that I still had a bad line issue and nothing else.

Solutions 4.

Finally I got very angry and I told the idiots to come to my house and then from my house to the next point check it

They checked and ... then they took the wire off the small switch where they clip it inside, re cut there the new CAT 6 and the wire which came and joined them together and re pressed them into the clip >> (This did improve little)

Solution 5

Then I used the internet for a few days and called them again that there is still issue of sessions disconnections.

Then finally I made them go to the next point of connection, which was just 1 floor below my house, 

There was a plastic CAP button in which the 2 wires were joined and they cut off the button and joined the wires directly with TAPE, and DAMMMMM the connection issue was all gone.

Everything was great after that the ADSL and TP Link sessions are perfect 10 hours.

Solution 6

In the middle I also tried to change the ADSL type of connection in modem 

G,DMT >>> Annex A >> it gave a good result also, but not perfect.

ADSL 2 >> also gives better solution better connection if your line is a little bad. your connection improves 

ADSL 2 Plus >> only if you have the best line and wiring

PROBLEM:

So now what is left ???????????

NOWWWW

I still have no internet sometimes.

The sessions does not disconnect but there is no internet sometimes, it goes and comes back. (skype/emails/web/google drive all disconnects and comes back/ google drive does not come back on its own, need to restart )

The ADSL light is always on even if there is no internet, so the session is perfect

The MTNL has 10 hour perfect sessions

Hello Members,

Just want to know if Port Forwarding is possible on 3G Data Cards. My main purpose is to use 3G Network ( BSNL/Reliance + 3G Data Card) with DVR Configuration to make it online. Advises are welcome.

Thanks!!

Someone pressed the '0' key a bit hard it seems

I had bought this in Jan 2013, running Win7, 32 bit, for my Lenovo Z560. Its suppose to be supporting 8GB

Corsair DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM - 

• DDR3-1333/PC3-10600

The laptop had existing ram  of 2GB , clock speed: 1066 (Original Ram)

Now Without using the original Micron ram of 1066 with the New Corsair one the computer was never booted :\

I just wanted to use the corsair one !

Using both Rams booted though there was always a screen showing all the time hardware changes...and all..

( have flashed BIOS, updated chipset driver...but nothing ) 

Now I upgraded to 64bit win7 Pro. so i could use full 6GB as with 32 bit it was limited to only 3GB !

Now the new ram (Corsair DDR3 4 GB, 1333  ) is not at all working with old one Micron1066.

 if I put both together I am getting BSOD. If its not BSOD its going in a loop of continuous restart or black screen.

Errors:

0x00000019 BAD_POOL_HEADER

Irql_not_less_or_equal

Its only booting with the Micron one.

There is no option in BIOS to change CPU speed ...Ram Clock speeds.... thanks to crappy Intel Mother Boards. BIOS is clearly showing 6 gigs of ram.

Now what do i do I am stuck with 2GB ram ! 

Have already run so many restarts ...  :\

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/micromax-a77-canvas-juice-with-android-42-listed-online-at-rs-7999-450554

 

 

Micromax has quietly introduced its latest phablet, A77 Canvas Juice, via an ecommerce website. The Micromax A77 Canvas Juice is now listed on HomeShop18 at Rs. 7,999. However, the smartphone is out of stock, at the time of writing this post.

The Micromax A77 Canvas Juice runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and is a dual-SIM phablet with support for GSM+GSM lines and dual standby. It features a 5-inch FWVGA display with 480x854 pixels resolution. The phablet is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core processor along with 1GB of RAM.

 

It sports a 5-megapixel autofocus rear camera accompanied by an LED flash and also includes a VGA front-facing camera. It comes with 4GB inbuilt storage, which can be expanded up to 32GB with the help of a microSD card. The Micromax A77 Canvas Juice packs a 3000mAh battery which, as per the online retailer's listing, can deliver up to 10 hours of talktime and up to 250 hours standby time. Connectivity options on the phablet include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE, GPS/ AGPS and 3G. The Canvas Juice measures 150.5x76.2x10.2mm and weighs about 100 grams.

At around 8k, looks a decent purchase. 

The format for the men's event in next year's tournament has been changed following an increase in teams from 12 to 16. As the teams' seeding are based on the T20I Team Rankings as on October 8, 2012, the top eight sides following the conclusion of last ICC World Twenty20 will play directly in the Super 10 stage and India is one such side.

 

Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, which finished outside the top eight, will participate in the first round that will be held from 16-21 March. The first round of the men's event will include eight sides that will be divided into two groups of four teams each, with the table-toppers progressing to the Super 10 stage.

 

In the first round, Group A will feature host Bangladesh alongside three teams that will qualify from the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier UAE 2013, to be staged from November 15 to 30. Group B will include Zimbabwe, which will be joined by another three teams from the upcoming qualifiers. As such, the two groups will be finalised on November 30.

 

The Super 10 stage will start with an evening match between former champions India and Pakistan in Dhaka on March 21 Defending champions West Indies will launch their title defence against India in an evening match on Sunday March 23. Earlier on the same day, Pakistan will lock horns with Australia, looking for the only global title that has eluded them to date.

Has anyone used reliance in Gurgaon? Particularly in DLF Phase 4? 
 
 On a Airtel 4 mbps 30 gb plan, run out of it fairly quick. With the new ps4 on my list and it's online requirements, I wanted an ul connection.     
 
Thanks !

Anyone? What about You Broadband? Nextra isn't in DLf 4
 
 Thanks

I was a lamenting BSNL user until this November when I switched back to Airtel on the 4mbps 30GB plan. (I had been an Airtel user many years ago). I was really enjoying the low pings for gaming and the 256kbps post FUP speed if not annoying, was adjustable. But then today, I am getting massive ping spikes for European servers for almost all games. Singapore servers still have low pings. Is this because my post FUP speed has come into effect and they are manipulating my latency as well?

As you can see in the above screenshot, the latency spike seems to occur at some node based in Delhi. Technical issues?

Hello,

I have just moved to JP Nagar 8th phase in bangalore and I am looking for a new internet connection. I have already contact ACT and Airtel and they do not provide connections at my address.

My address is

SK Nataraj Layout, 1st Cross, Kothanur Dinne Main road, JP Nagar 8th Phase, Bangalore - 560078

I am not including the house # for obvious reasons.

I would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations as to which other ISP i can contact for a connection in the above mentioned area.

Recent textual analysis shows that mysterious inventor (or group of investors) of popular crypto-currency links to a scientist named Nick Szabo.

http://www.readability.com/read?url=https%3A//likeinamirror.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-nick-szabo/

I'll start :

Quad-core 2.0GHz processor.
1.5GB RAM, expandable memory with 32GB built-in.
4.65-inch Super AMOLED III display developed specially for this phone with an odd 1280 x 1024 resolution, which will give it a pixel density of 352-PPI, the highest on a smartphone so far.
10 megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p videos at 60fps.
Metal body with 9mm thickness and a 2,250mAh battery.
Built-in NFC.

Samsung is planning to announce the device at MWC 2012 with a worldwide release planned sometime in mid-2012.

 

 

Stories impacting Sonia's image are carefully choreographed right at the top, at the level of promoters and editors who are on first-name terms with key Congress functionaries such as Ahmed Patel. But Patel, the consummate spin doctor, also has a line with beat reporters; they need each other in the demanding 24x7 news cycle where a single 'untutored' line could damage the Congress President's image. It is a tradeoff that works well for both. While the lowly reporter can impress his bosses by claiming he has knowledge of closely-held developments, Patel gets to ensure that Sonia's image remains unsullied.

GOSF is back again. Hoping it doesn't turn into a disaster like last time.

Also it seems like every other site is participating this year. Amazon is also there.

dear vodafone,

you guys suck ! your customer care is pathetic (yes you really dont care for your consumers ) i recharged 199 unlimited 2g pack but it seems more like a no-G pack... no speeds anytime of the day, when i call customer care they give silly advices like restart your phone, check your apn, move to a more servicable area (yeah sure ... i would buy a new house for using your silly net service). The problem is in the vodafone system administration,  you guys have capped speed to such an extent that its unusable.

I have been using Aircel (for both 2g and 3g which is awesome) and infact IDEA has better speed output in 2g. Your network inspite of being most used is so pathetic in terms of speed that i have almost made up my mind to not waste any more of my hard earned money in your net plans.

Just make sure you are not out of race because you are already losing it. I have many friends using your 3g and they said speed was ok but no one  said the speed was awesome, your prices are high, speeds are low and under any circumstances you are going to lose more users like me if you continue on the same track.

best regards,

Abhishek

Thus, India has now become, by unintended consequences, gifted with a young population. If we educate this youth to develop cognitive intelligence to become original thinkers, imbibe emotional intelligence to develop team spirit and a rational risk-taking attitude, inculcate moral intelligence to blend personal ambition with national goals, cultivate social intelligence to defend the rights of the weak, gender equality, the courage to fight injustice, and the spiritual intelligence to tap into the cosmic energy (Brahmand) that surrounds the earth, then we can develop a superior species of human being, an Indian youth who can be relied on to contribute to make India a global power within two decades. Only then, our demographic dividend will not be wasted. This has to be the core of the economic agenda for a new government in 2014.

Sudha Mishra is a divorced and grumpy woman has just come back to her home in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. While she was away, Sumit, her niece's fiance was given the responsibility to take care of the house and was clearly instructed to feed the fish and water the plants. At the end of the holiday when Sudha reaches her quaint house and starts its inspection with detective accuracy. Everything seems to be in order but is it? Sumit threw a helluva party for all his friends at Sudha's house, broke all the house rules and also handed it over to the most nefarious characters!

I'm going to move to HSR Layout 1st Sector in the following week. I contacted Airtel and unfortunately they don't have network feasibility here. This absolutely surprises me to know that Airtel still don't have their network in one of the prime residential places of Bangalore. To be honest I searched all over the internet to know what all ISPs are available and there are not many. I heard of TTN network as most used broadband here in 1st Sector, but all over the internet its users are down voting and cursing it.

I hope this is my last resort to ask this question on broadband forum, if anyone is staying here in 1st Sector, do you know what all ISPs are available here? If you've heard of TTN Network, is it really that horrible as its users say?

I'm really internet starved and frustrated to my depths, this is my new home and they still don't have Airtel here. I can't stay alive on shitty Airtel 3G and expensive 4G anymore . Lord knows what the hell is taking so much time.
