Car Vibrate & Jerk, RPM fluctuate

tanalvis — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 00:01:44 +0800

I m driving Toyota Altis 1.8G, year 2010. After cold start engine, my car will be jerking and vibrating, RPM will fluctuates vigorously. (refer video - taken during reversing)
The Jerking and vibrating will continue for some time (as times goes, it gets less intense), until like maybe 10-15 minutes later, it will like almost gone. By the time i drive to mechanic shop, it feels like ok d, vibration can't be felt.

There will be a bit of jerking and vibrating during stopping at traffic light, very minimal & almost can't feel.

When i plug in my OBD reader, i got 4 sets of code : P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354 (“Ignition Coil ‘A’ Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction.” , last digit of the code stands for Circuit A, meaning all 4 circuit facing this issue)

Have carried out the following repairs
1. throttle body cleaning and tuning
2. Replace spark plug
3. Replace engine mounting

Is it ignition coil (YEC Flamma vs Denso?) or ECU
1) Ignition coil (dilemma to choose YEC Flamma or Denso)
2) the wiring of the circuit
3) the connector/socket to the ignition coil
3) ECU /PCM

Gaming problem

tanalvis — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 13:08:09 +0800

Hi there, i faced this problem when i played games...

Here is my computer spec.
Sapphire HD 7850 OC 2gB
i3 3220
4GB DDR 1333 RAM
Dell U2312

When i play Devil May Cry 5 (both high and medium settings) and darksiders 2( 1080) , the pc seems like shut down. The screen goes black, then the power button of monitor change from blue to orange, screen goes to power saving mode. (Screen normally show this when i didn't turn on cpu). But power button on CPU still lights up, fan is still moving as i can hear the sound of fan.

Is it overheating? I think the situation above do not happen when i played dota 2.

dying desktop

tanalvis — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:54:48 +0800

Hai there, everyone. I m a gonna building a new rig. I was thinking what's the stuff that can be reused from my old rig. It was ancient pentium 4 stuff but upgrade to pentium d. There is a few problem

1. The startup takes very long time, i wait for windows 7 loading screen like forever...then after a few hours, its still loading. A few times i attempted to use system restore but it works like 1-2 days. Then back to forever windows 7 loading.

2. While the windows is loading, my samsung lcd screen is gone. When i press turn on button (at the monitor), the monitor shows windows 7 loading for a while, then it become gone again..

What's the problem? is it psu or dying hdd or dying monitor or lacking voltage? BACK to QUESTION, what can be REUSED for building my new rig besides keyboard, mouse and speaker

no sound when connected to a TV using HDMI

QUOTE(cshong @ May 20 2010, 05:44 PM)

Moderator please pin this thread and put this on the top of this subforum, so that people who face the same problem on the same laptop can view this thread more easier.

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. My laptop use discrete ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 switchable graphic. Switchable graphic mean I can switch to on board integrated Intel graphic.

Problem: After I connect my laptop to HDTV with HDMI cable, there is video on TV but no sound coming from TV. And, when you open Windows 7's sound setting, there is no "ATI HDMI Audio" in the list of playback device, like the following attached picture:

[attachmentid=1585642]

The above screenshot has been taken before the problem has been fixed.

I think this is caused by Windows 7 not detecting the HDMI audio hardware.

The following are the way I fix this problem.

To fix this, the only solution is:

Change the graphic mode in BIOS setting.

1. Reboot your laptop, press F2 to go to the BIOS setting during system boot up.

2. In your BIOS setting, go to the "Main" tab, then you will see a setting called "Graphic mode".

3. By default, this "Graphic mode" has been set to "Switchable", change it to "Discrete". But, if you change to discrete, you will no longer be able to switch to your integrated graphic within Windows 7 unless you switch back the graphic mode again.

4. Save the setting, and reboot to Windows 7, log on with your user name and password.

5. Windows 7 will re-detect the graphic card and reinstall the driver. At the same time, Windows 7 will also detect the ATI HDMI Audio device and install its driver.

6. Reboot your computer, boot into Windows 7.

7. Open the sound setting -> playback devices, you will see "ATI HDMI Output", it will be set to default once you connect your laptop to TV with HDMI.

[attachmentid=1585677]

8. Connect your laptop to your HDTV with HDMI cable if you haven't do so, then enjoy video and audio from your computer on your HDTV.

Note: After the issue has been solved, if you reboot into BIOS and change back the GRAPHIC MODE to "SWITCHABLE", the HDMI audio STILL WORK.

i m using Acer 4745 (switchable graphic) i try his method but it doesn't work. THe Step 5 doesn't work for me as Windows 7 do not re-detect the graphic card. And i can't update my GPU due to ATI has not release any updated software for switchable graphics enabled notebooks using INTEL Chipsets. Before this, when i connect it my lappy to LCD, it do produce sound but now there is no sound. The sound come out from laptop now....
