Digi 10GB dc often & unable to safely remove

Joshwcy — Wed, 19 May 2010 22:13:42 +0800

Hi. I m currently using Digi 10GB Internet. My USB modem model is Huawei E1550. My operating system is Windows 7. I got few problems.

first: I have never been able to remove the usb modem safely. Why? because it has been detected as a CD drive rather than a USB. I tried to remove it by using the method we used to remove pen drive. Everything i done... no sign of safely remove at all. Complained to Digi, but seems the customer consultant don't even know my problem. Thinks that i m a noob in computer - like i don't even know how to remove a pendrive or usb drive. I have checked forums and i found out that there is one user who faced the same problem as mine.

second: My digi internet used to disconnect, and I don't know why. I have uninstall it and reinstall, still it has been disconnecting for the past 2 weeks. Every 5 - 10 mins it will disconnect. I am not sure what is the problem. Can somebody help? Coz its very annoying!!! Everytime it disconnects when i check the USB modem, the blue light is there. But on my task bar, it is disconnected!!! What is wrong with the modem!!!

CISS Printer Problem

Joshwcy — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:56:50 +0800

Hi all, Anyone can answer my little question? My Brother Printer MFC 260c is modified and it has no problem at all. However, after i refill the black color ink. When i start printing i saw that the tube not supplying inks to the catridge. The ink tanks are placed same level with the printer. However, when i bring up the ink tanks.. all the ink started to flow into the catridge as usual. Once i put down to the same level as the printer... the inks in the tube flow back down.

SO far there is no problem in printing yet. But i m worried that later there will be problems in printing. As the tube is not supplying inks to the catridge if i put it same level as the printer.

Somebody pls advise.

Hi all. Can anybody give me an advise about my DVD player? Till now i m not sure what is the problem. Either its the LG dvd player itself or the DVD.

I put in a DVD to watch. I am watching episode 10. At first it still can play very smoothely. Until 1 part it stopped there.. then jammed. So i closed the power DVD programme, then try to reload the movie again. I skip tru all the advertisement in front n when i press episode 10.. it wouldn't play at all.

I have to press CTRL ALT DEL to close the programme. I tried several times to play it again still failed. Previously i can play the beginning part of episode 10 of the show. Now i cannot even play the beginning part of it.

I have updated the DVD rom driver. I have unistalled it and install again still the same thing occurs.
Now i tried using my laptop to play the movie.. it play perfectly well.. then suddenly it jam again. my laptop also facing the same problem.

Someone please advise. THank you.

Sound Card for Home Recording Studio

Joshwcy — Sat, 03 May 2008 17:54:19 +0800

Hi. I need some help here. I m trying to setup my own Home Recording Studio. I got some recommendations from my friend saying that all i need is a Good sound card with Noise Filter function and a good Microphone. Then I can start to record my own song albums at home.

Can anyone please advise me on which sound card which have noise filter function to purchase? My budget is RM150-200. And, is it enough for just purchasing a sound card with noise filter? Coz i m starting to doubt that wouldn't be enough. I heard that i still require my own mixer and etc. If i use a microphone to sing my songs, how about the music/background of the songs? Will it be recorded with my voice? Or do i need a special software that can play the song while i sing it n record it?

Please advise. Thanks.

LG DVD COMBO DRIVE PROBLEM

Joshwcy — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:42:07 +0800

I wonder anybody face this problem with LG DVD Combo or is it my software problem.

This problem occurred recently. I was burning CDs and DVDs, after successfully burning them, the DVD combo automatically eject itself as usual.
After that, I did not take out the burnt DVD, I put it back inside and test whether i have burnt successfully.

To my dismay, the DVD combo cannot read the DVD which i have burnt. I took it out and place the original DVD inside, the same thing occurs, I cannot read the DVD.

Then i log off my computer OR restart it. After logging off or restart it, my DVD combo drive gain back its function. This incident occurs everytime when i burn a disc and try to read the disc.

Does anybody know whats the problem with it? some of my friends told me its the software problem. Someone pls advice. Thanks.

MyVi Car Maintenance Annual Cost

Joshwcy — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:22:47 +0800

I have just bought a Myvi in December 2006.
I have a question in mind. For the coming month I will be extensively using my vehicle for travelling purposes due to my new job.

May i know how much is the maintenance cost roughly if i m going to use the vehicle extensively?
e.g. normal servicing, tire changing and other necessary accessories requred to be changed. If i save RM100 per month for car maintenance do you think it is sufficient to cover the upcoming car maintenance cost (if there are no other unexpected major repairs)?

lets say 1 month i travel around 1500km. Do u think that by saving RM100 monthly will be sufficient for my car maintenance cost in a few months time? Advise needed. Thanks.
