[WTA] Donating books

Mayomythical — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:16:21 +0800

Having just decluttered my dad's house after my mum passed away, I've more than 200+ old copies of readers' digests and old (but serviceable) novels in Melaka. Anyone know where I can donate these, preferably in the state itself?

Close to giving up on my LG RH387H

Mayomythical — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 09:32:10 +0800

*deep breath*

I am seriously considering throwing out this recorder, and swearing off LG for good.

It now does not even get past the "Hello" screen now. Before it got to this problem, picture quality was deteriorating. You thought Astro quality was bad on LCD/Plasma? try Astro through the RH387H, and you'll know the definition of bad. Banding, stutter on full white screens. It wasn't Astro's fault, as the problem continued when I played DVDs through the system. Routing the Astro signal direct to the TV and voila! No more stutter, no more banding.

DVD drive doesn't open correctly. I need to pull out the caddy physically, insert the disc quickly and MANUALLY push it in, making sure my fingers and the disc are out of harm's way. It nearly destroyed my LOTR: Extended edition DVD!

And don't get me started on the HDMI bit. (HDMI problems)

I love the timer recording & timeshift bits, but the rest of it is just buggy, useless junk!

*rant over*

Oh, and the warranty's over already, so that doesn't help. It's probably gonna cost more to repair it than to get a cheap Blu-Ray player. *sigh*

Okay, going home tonight to do a factory reset through the service screen. see if that works to bring this beast back from the dead.

Disposing old batteries (normal & rechargeable)

Does anyone know where I can toss my old batteries in an environmentally responsible way? Can't seem to find anything from a quick googling...

[HELP] HDMI input problems with LG RH387H

Mayomythical — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:54:01 +0800

Help needed from all the sifus out there. This is my first HD TV set so do bear with me. All this while have been using a 21" CRT.

I'm trying to use my DVD/HDD recorder (LG RH387H) connected to my Panasonic THP-42X10K, and playing my DVDs, and upscale via the internal FullHD upscaler. However, when I switch to the HDMI input, all I see is a black screen with a white bar in the middle. No matter what I do I can't seem to get an image via HDMI.

Now watching LOTR: Extended edition via S-video Haven't tested on component yet, but should be fine. Just having problems with the HDMI bit.

Another question, with the internal upscaler, is it possible say to upscale an Astro image (poor source, I know) for display on the TV?

Official release date is tomorrow... but Play-Asia already has it in stock! Play-Asia PES 2009 Wii

At USD44.90 and USD/MYR @ 3.69, there goes this month's budget. Ahh.. screw it.

Anybody getting this? Having not played the 2008 version, this Wii PES virgin may need some time before he's up to speed. Still need some kakis later on for online play, though.
