[WTS] Dell Vostro 14 3481 Professional Laptop

garethlye — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 16:27:25 +0800

Item(s): Dell Vostro 14 3481

CPU - Intel Core i3 7020U
RAM - 4GB DDR4 (Has second slot for upgrade)
Screen - 14" LCD
SSD - 128GB M.2 (boot drive)
HDD - 500GB Western Digital
GPU - Intel HD Graphics 620

Good simple laptop for students, word processing, accounts, or anyone who wants a reliable laptop that isn't so too high end.
It can technically game but don't expect to run high end games, i've tried installing Genshin Impact before on lowest settings and it ran about 45fps at 720p.
Bought last year under promotion to replace dad's laptop but he refused to give up his Windows XP...

Have not run any real hardcore programs and mostly kept in storage. Laptop is essentially brand new, no scratches or dents, battery health still great, never ran any intensive apps, in fact never once took it out of the house.
I have formatted it once to remove the Dell Bloatware, now has a licensed Windows 10 Pro license on it, with all the usual necessary stuff (VLC, Winrar, etc)

Price: RM 500

Warranty: Probably still got warranty from Dell, but personal 3 days if anything goes wrong.

Dealing method: COD, Postage/Grab/Lalamove bear by buyer.

Location: Centrepoint Bandar Utama

Contact method/details: PM

Item(s) conditions: Essentially Brand new, flawless body.

Item(s) conditions:
Well taken care of Macbook Pro, really treated it like my child.
This is in perfect working conditions with no weird stuff, buy and use immediately without worries
- Just serviced, ZERO dust buildup in fans/intakes/internals
- Replaced thermal paste with premium Arctic MX-5, so don't worry about poor thermal performance
- LCD is pristine, no dead pixels, no dead zones, no burn-ins of any kind.
- Speakers are perfect at any volume
- Webcam works, mic works
- Keyboard keys/backlight/color is perfect
- Replaced with brand new rubber feet
- NEVER DROPPED
- Minor wear and tear but nothing ugly

Some issues:
- Screen glass does suffer from some #staingate(please google if you don't know what it is), there are fixes you can do like Etch cream or apply a clear screen protector.
- Battery is at 75% capacity, still original and not bloated, can still last about 4 hours if you're doing web browsing or word processing. (You can buy a new one on Shopee for around RM300+)
- Some minor scratches at the bottom of the Macbook, but no dents anywhere.
- Rubber around the display is slightly worn at the top, but 80% of it is fine.

I would recommend this to anyone who needs an affordable Macbook Pro, even thought it's fairly old it still holds up to this day because of the very fast nvme ssd. If you're doing word processing, programming, netflix, web browsing, then this is still better than any budget windows laptop you can buy today. The colours on the screen is still top notch till today!

Reason for sale:
Selling off my precious Macbook Pro that got me through University, hoping to find a new good owner. Replaced with newer macbook, so this has not been used since end of 2019.

Help with wiring a AC motor + capacitor

garethlye — Thu, 24 May 2018 02:18:07 +0800

I have a new AC motor and a capacitor for it, but I have no clue right now on the wiring from the wall to the cap and the motor. I know it's a three speed motor, I basically want it to run on the highest speed.

AC Motor diagram:

Capacitor:

Wiring off the Motor:

Could any of the electrical gurus here help me out?

Anybody knows where I can buy this motor?

garethlye — Wed, 23 May 2018 11:05:14 +0800

Does anybody know where to buy this motor?
It's from an split air conditioner blower fan, the one I have is busted and needs replacing.
I will need an AC one that runs off the wall.

Someone suggested to get from a scrap yard but I don't know where to find a scrap yard near me that sells motors like this.
Another friend suggested I buy from a parts shops for airconds but I'm very sure they are going to charge me heck a lot.

The motor has to be the exact same size, else it won't fit into the aircond unit

Anybody here have one lying around or any advice to give me?

Any electrical savvy person can help me with this?

garethlye — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 15:39:28 +0800

Long story short, I have an aircond that doesn't work, logic board is dead. A seller said he had the logic board for the exact model, but when I got there he said it was the 'newer' model and that it was compatible with it my aircond. Brought it back and the pcb was quite different but similar in terms of wiring. I plugged everything that had the same component name except for these below. If you can let me know if these are compatible that would be really great cause I don't want to blow up my aircond

CN-FUSE(BLU) and CN-NOA

Also I realized this does not have have a wire that I can plug into. Does it matter if this is connected?

Renew driving license at post office?

garethlye — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 11:10:15 +0800

I have the older laminated driving license, I renewed it right before they started using the new plastic type. I'm wondering whether if I jump from laminated to plastic card, can it be done at the post office? Or does it have to be jpj since it's a new card type. I know post offices have the new card printers but maybe they only allow plastic card to plastic cards? Anyone know?
