Laptop Shuts Off When Unplugged

chang3rd — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:49:59 +0800

Just starting yesterday, my laptop immediately shuts off when I unplug the power cable.
The battery icon in the taskbar says 100% fully charged.
Installed Acer Care Center and the Battery Health Checkup Status is Good.

Model: Aspire E5-576G-54-kg
Warranty JUST expired in October.

In my mind, the battery became faulty and I need to replace it.
Is that correct ?

Any sifus know what is the model of my battery ? I don't want to open the back if I don't have to.
Only want to do it when I replace the battery later

Searching on Shopee doesn't seem to have an accurate result.
Any reputable seller of laptop batteries around here or shopee/lazada ?

Can explain ? Sifus please look

My devices are connected to my TP-Link TL-WR840N which is connected to the Unifi Router Netis DL4480V1.

Over wifi,
The Mi Box S is pulling 500Mbps on Fast.com (Singapore)
Whereas my laptop and phone is getting <50Mbps on Fast.com (Sri Kembangan)

What is going on with the Mi Box S ?
I know TL-WR840N wifi max speed is 300Mbps.

Other question is, how to increase the speed my laptop and Huawei P10 is getting from the wifi ?
I'm literally sitting right in front of the router with my laptop and getting <50Mbps.

Max speed on laptop via direct Lan/Wan cable is 500Mbps.

[WTA] v2

I'm gonna get a new Non-OC, non-SLI rig to as close 3k as possible. I asked Zhen^Wei@Idealtech for a quote and this is the following:

Intel Core i5-3570 RM635
MSi B75MA-P45 RM235
Gskill 2x4GB DDR3 1333mhz RM65x2units
Leadtek WinFast GTX 670 RM1135 -left 2units in this shipment.
WD 1TB Caviar Blue RM245
Gskill Phoniex III 120GB SSD RM299
Enermax NAXN82+ 550W PSU RM215
LG 24x Sata dvdrw RM65
CM Elite 431 plus RM145
Enermax T.B. 12cm Blue LED Fan RM28x2units

I asked for Kingston 2x4gb RAM, he gave me Gskill.
I asked for Intel 330 60GB, he gave me Gskill 120gb.

I guess I need an opinion on this two components, are they reliable/good enough for the money ?
And also about the overall build, can ah ? For casual gaming and ahem downloading. Would like it to last for 3 years at least.

I know he lurks the forum here also no offense bro, I just need to ask around see its worth paying good money for or not

Is my Sigma lens dead ?

chang3rd — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:04:59 +0800

I have a Nikon D70s, Sigma 18-200mm and a Nikkor 50mm.

Haven't been using the camera for maybe a month now, but the last time I used it, it worked perfectly.
Today I took my camera out, the Sigma couldn't auto focus and shutter would not release to take the picture.
If I switch to manual focus, I can take the picture.

Then I tried the 50mm, so far it could auto focus and works normally.

So I figured my Sigma died on me, am I right ?

The problem is that I'm in the UK now, and will be going back to Malaysia in less than 2 months time.
Not sure if I want to try to repair it here or not. My warranty is over anyways.

Anybody knows how much will it cost to repair the lens in Malaysia ?
It'll cost about £100 (RM500) to repair in the UK.

Any other advice ?

Really saddening

CPL and ND Filters

chang3rd — Thu, 21 May 2009 17:05:53 +0800

Hello fellow boss and bros !

I want to ask for some advice
I'm looking to acquire the above filters for use for my trip to abroad shortly.

CPL Filter
ND 4, 8 or 400 Filter

I'll mostly be taking pictures of some beautiful landscape and wildlife, and some street photography after that

Anyway, I need some advice on which filter to buy ?
Hoya, B+W or any others ?
I'll probably be using it only with my kit 18-70mm nikkor lens (67mm filter thread), so maybe not a huge investment is needed ?
But again, I'd like to capture whatever I'll see as best I could

What sekalian suggest I should I buy ?
The most important question is still, which shop do I go look for it and how much is approx the cost of the suggested filters ?

I stay in KL
and I don't want to spend too much time travelling around in search for genuine and cheap equipments

Thank you very much

PC Fair Camera Price

chang3rd — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 03:07:34 +0800

1)
As per the title states..

I once asked for the price of SB600 (Nikon's DSLR flash) and they're selling at RM800
I know for a fact that the price of SB600 in camera shops is ~RM750

So I'm asking is it worth buying cameras at pc fair ? or I should just go to camera shops outside

2) Sub-Question
As you should have already know, I'm using a Nikon DSLR (D70s)
And you know how heavy DSLRs are
So I'm not actually carrying it around wherever I go

Now I realised that I need a camera that I can always carry around as my secondary camera (for those unexpected moments)

What I'm looking for is there must be manual control
VR or IS or whatever-the-technology-they-name-to-reduce-blur, is almost a must
Of course, the other qualities of the camera musn't be too bad
A good camera overall lah - thats what I'm looking for

Is there any digicam with this citeria at the price range of RM800-RM1k ?
I don't know cause I haven't do any research yet
I thought I could ask you guys to limit my scope before I decide which to buy

Please advise
Thx

A little bit about me..

I'm 18 years old, currently on holiday from a Foundation in Business course
I've taken a liking towards photography since Form 1
But then, I don't have a very good camera to take up photography seriously
Since then, I've been the family photographer using our old Pentax 3.2 megapixel Optio33L
they have seen how I take pictures and they think I really am good at taking photos

So now, they agreed to get me a better camera so I could go into some serious photo shooting.
The question is, what camera should I buy ?

The only DSLR that I see myself buying with my dad's money is the cheapest entry level DSLR from Nikon or Canon
At ~RM3k with its kits lens, I think thats the most my dad can fork out..
Is it good for me to buy a RM3k DSLR or should I spend the money to get a expensive PROsumer Digicam instaed ?

I think I could use a DSLR, but I'd like to know what all the sifu here thinks ?
A entry level DSLR or a expensive PROsumer ?
If a DSLR, Canon's or Nikon's in terms of user friendliness and functions (ie:image stabilising, etc) ? Or any other brands which offer cheaper prices (better for my dad)
If a prosumer, which model ?
