Got problem in google play store

diehard1979 — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 16:46:33 +0800

I using this phone for 3 years already, so far so good. No problem in updating apps in google play store for these 3 years but recently in this Dec, I start facing problem when I go in "manage apps and device" Then "Updates" getting error (as show in attachment).

I had tried those solution in internet, such as set date & time to auto, restart phone, remove google account then re-add and relogin back, all these cannot help in solving it.
The only way can solve is force stop google play store then clear cache clear data. Then launch back the google play store it can work for that time. If I close the play store then later launch again, same problem happen. Then every time clear cache and data not always work. Sometime I know I got 10 apps haven't update but it show only 2 apps ready for update, sometime it show all 10 apps.

At "installed app part"(as show in attachment), it not show any apps at all.

Anyone can help me on this? what solution?

Budget RM3000 notebook/laptop for form 6 study

diehard1979 — Sat, 12 Dec 2020 12:17:06 +0800

Asking for my sister.
Her children now have to use notebook for home study.
Now children is studying form 6. Hope that this notebook can still use when she go university.

1. Budget :RM3000
2. Usage : Home study. Online studying which watch the youtube. Video conferencing. Word/Excel/powerpoint.... (No need high end as she is not going to play those high end game)
3. Requirements (standard display size, battery and weight all common as this price range don't have much choice.)

She dunno about notebook. Hope someone here can give some idea and spec so that when she go to computer shop, she know what spec to look for this price.

eg. CPU Intel can go i5 or i3 only with this price?
ram must 8 gb right for win 10?
graphic card build in or gtx 1650 should enough as she not play game.
ssd is 256gb but how to know it is good ssd or not? How know it is Dramless SSD or not in the notebook? most of the time they not list out the brand for ssd.

Hope someone give some idea. Thanks

Just see this Laptop.

These 3 all same price, which will you choose?
Is that Honor 10 the best among these 3?

Any user here can talk about honor 10? after 1 year of usage so far so good? update to EMUI 9.1 all stable?

Blueekeep. Anyone patch already?

1 long beep 2 short beep error but it can proceed

diehard1979 — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 17:42:14 +0800

Recently when I start my PC, the bios will come out 1 long beep then follow by 2 short beep which is "Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information."

Normally it will keep repeat this 1 long 2 short beep and will not proceed to load OS at all and stuck at there but for my case, it will just simply sound 1 time of 1 long 2 short beep then it pass and start process to load the windows but my monitor don't have display. The indicator at monitor light will keep blinking. I had test the graphic card to another PC and switch another graphic card to this pc to test so I can confirmed that it is graphic card problem.

I had take out the card and do some dust cleaning, clean the golden connection and look for bad caps and bad soldering but so far all look good. Then later I tried a few time to boot my PC, after a few time, it work and the display able to show out.

Next day when I start PC, same thing happen again so I shut it down. Later I try again, it work.

I want to ask anyone here can know which part of graphic card giving this problem? Is that the connector port (such as dvi or VGA port) that going to connect to monitor or the GPU itself? I don't think it is Video ram because for video it will come out special texture on screen.

Hope familiar with this and able to tell me what part of problem in the card.
Thanks

viewsonic va2231wm cannot power on

diehard1979 — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 16:57:35 +0800

I had open the monitor and check its power supply board found out a few components cannot work anymore.
At "3_components.jpg", I had highlight the 3 components. R815, C808, Q804.

Q804 is MOSFET 09N65GX
C808 is ceramic capacitor R 101K 1KV (100pF 1KV)
R815 is resistor 0.43ohm (I don't know how many watt)

After this several week and go to a few shop. I can't find out these components.
The resistor 0.43ohm, none of the shop that I visit got it. The nearest value that they got are 0.4 and 0.47ohm. (Can I use it? should use 0.4 or 0.47?) How do I know what is the watt for that resistor?

For the Capacitor C808 is R 101K 1KV, one shop got it but label as "100" only, they don't even know whether is 1KV or what. (Can I use this one even without knowing whether is 1KV or not?)

For Q804, the mosfet 09N65GX, I also cannot find it. I check 9N65 datasheet at internet.

https://pdf-datasheet-datasheet.netd...iconductor.pdf

https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/1027142/UTC/9N65/1

https://alltransistors.com/mosfet/tr...ansistor=19460
Although all refer to same thing but I don't know why got some different for each
Such as Gate-Source Voltage:some is ±30v while another is ±20v
Total Dissipation: some 167w, some 125w

So for this Mosfet that use in monitor, which criteria/value are more important when I finding a replacement?

Maximum Drain-Source Voltage |Vds|: 650 V (The replacement must higher than 650V or lower than 650V?
Maximum Gate-Source Voltage |Vgs|: 30 V (This must 30V? 20 or 40V can?)
Maximum Drain Current |Id|: 9 A (Replacement must higher than 9A right?)
Maximum Drain-Source On-State Resistance (Rds): 0.85 Ohm (Replacement must lower than 0.85 ohm right?)

Hope someone can give opinion on this.

Possible to repair/replace SMD capacitor in VGA?

diehard1979 — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 14:22:32 +0800

I got VGA card one day when boot, nothing show out.
Later I found out 1 SMD capacitor spoil as show in photo. (Label C834)
I check other SMD at near, none of them got any label nor value show out so is that possible for me to repair/replace this with other SMD capacitor that look similar? (same length,same height, something like that)

Quite waste if 1 card just throw out like that with just 1 SMD down.

Any opinion/suggestion?

Need help on bluescreen problem

diehard1979 — Sat, 22 Aug 2015 16:11:38 +0800

Recently PC keep bluescreen and the error messages are quite different from time to time. At the bottom, I had attach a image to show the overall bluescreen message.
After I do some test such as switch different vga card, ram, psu, it still got this kind of problem so now I think it is either mobo or cpu got problem only.

I even got win 7 on each of harddisk and I tried switch each other as boot to confirm that it is not win7 files corrupt.
Sometime I can get error beep at POST with 3 long beep on my Award bios.

Anyone got experience on this?
Any opinion?

diehard1979 — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 10:16:05 +0800

currently I got 2x2gb ddr3 ram in my pc, I want to add another 4gb, should I go for 2x2gb ram or 1x4gb ram?
this is my motherboard spec.
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-p...spx?pid=3423#sp

If 2x2gb I can go for dual channel, if 1x4gb it will be single channel, any different? Is that as long as it is ddr3 1333, it will be ok? nothing related to my old ram right?

FTP server and Riger DB108-WL router mode setting

diehard1979 — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 17:52:18 +0800

Currently I just using riger DB108-WL wireless adsl modem.
I had setup all the things already, my PC can connect to Internet, My smartphone also can connect to internet.
Now I got 1 problem, I use GuildftpD(ftp server daemon) on my PC. Last time when I use other modem which I set to bridge mode, it will be no problem at all for other ppl to connect to my ftp server and start sending files to me.

Now with this modem and router mode, they can't connect at all.
I think it is something related to port forwarding. (NAT)
I had set the port 21 and current local ip which is 192.168.1.2 but it still fail to connect
I using filezilla (ftp client) to try to connect.
When I put local address which is 192.168.1.2, it can connect without problem (because there is LAN)
but when I connect by referring current IP address (or I also got using no-ip to update my current ip to domian name)
or domain name, it fail to connect.

The ftp client show the message:
220 ftp firmware update utility

I check at website, got ppl say it is connect to my router rather than my ftp server and it seem that the router had hijack my port 21 which make outsider cannot connect to my ftp server at all on port 21.

Anyone know how to solve it?

dynamic ip that updated by no-ip cannot work.

diehard1979 — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 17:01:43 +0800

currently I facing some strange problem which I suspect it is the problem in no-ip server.

Normally everyday after I start the PC, I will using no-ip client to auto update my current ip to my host which is eg.( abc.myftp.org) so far it had been working well.

Today I do the same thing, but I found out even the no-ip client had update my current ip to the host, but when I ping my host eg.(abc.myftp.org) it show other ip.
I go in no-ip website to check and can confirm that the host is already updated with my current dynamic ip. eg. (124.13.5.69) but when I try to ping abc.myftp.org, it show another ip which is (118.101.152.181)

When I try to type the 118.101.152.181 in web browser, it take my to some site that show me ID, pswd, pic size for me to fill in data or choose the choice which is something not belong to me.

Anyone here know what is the problem? How to fix it?
why it keep updating 118.101.152.181 to abc.myftp.org? is that something that keep auto updating and overriding my current ip to become this 118.101.152.181 to abc.myftp.org?

innacomm w3400v6 problem

diehard1979 — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 21:58:22 +0800

Broadband provider
ISP/package: streamyx 4mb
Location: penang
Have you called your ISP's helpline?: no

Personal equipment
Modem: innacomm w3400v6
Router: innacomm w3400v6
Firewall used: windows 7

This modem I had use for 1 year so far so good. (I use in bridge mode so everytime I had to logon by dialer in windows to go in internet.)

Recently I want to use wifi for smartphone. I access 192.168.1.1 with admin authority to change it into router mode which it will direct login and also set my wireless connection. All work well after that, my desktop can go in internet thru network cable while my smartphone can go in thru wifi. After that I off my PC and router.
Next time when I start router and PC. I found out only my smartphone can connect into internet while my desktop cannot get it.

After that I tried several day, with different setting (even got factory reset to get back default setting), it fail to connect at all. The only way can connect now is change it back to bridge mode. If I tried to change into router mode, it fail. When I tried to ping www.google.com, it can show back the correct ip but when I tried www.google.com inw eb browser it fail to get in.

Anyone know what is the problem? is that my router spoil already?
