[WTA]AC adapter working but laptop cant detect

jobneed — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 19:27:11 +0800

Hi Guys,

I have a 4years old samsung NP530U laptop which recently failed.
The issue is, power adapter is working (greenlight on) and battery is fine, but it is not charging when i turn on the laptop.
I could see the laptop is consuming the battery instead of charging the battery. I have tried removing the battery and run on adapter but unfortunately it is not working too.
I have consulted Samsung SC and they suspect it could be motherboard problem as power adapter not working and battery dead has been ruled out. So before i send in repair, is there any other issue i should troubleshoot before i send in for repair, and what would likely be the cost of replacing motherboard? Is there any reliable repair shop anywhere in KL except going to authorized dealer?

Below is the link to my exact laptop model I am using.

Thanks a lot!

how to use if,else function,

jobneed — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:42:56 +0800

Hi,
I would like to ask, is it possible to use if,else function to find the result(without showing the result) and use the result to apply on a formula?

double BFB, i, shares, buy;
i= 0.0073
BFB=(shares*buy)*i;
{
if(BFB <=28)
cout<<"28"<<endl;
else
cout<<BFB<<endl;
}
TB=(shares*buy)+BFB;

This is the part of my coding. first i list the BFB formula, and then i use if,else function to test whether the BFB result is less than 28 or not.
But the problem is, i dont want the function to cout the result for me, i want the compiler to calculate "internally/silently" and take the final result to reapply to my new formula.

Example
BFB=(5000*2)*0.0073=73
So i want this "73" result to be apply in TB=(5000*2)+73

conversely, if my result is less than 28.
BFB=(1000*1)*0.0073= 7.3
The result "7.3 is less than "28", so i want the compiler to use "28" instead "7.3" and apply in TB=(1000*1)+28

Sorry if i ask the question confusingly. But i hope coding sifus can understand. Thanks.

does laser printer will affect health?

jobneed — Sat, 07 May 2011 14:52:58 +0800

I've a small study room just as big as a room that can fit a single bed and long study table.
And i have a laser printer inside which i often print and let it on.
I've heard some people say we should avoid laser printer if we didn't use it or when doing large volume printing stuff, it's better not to get close to it.
So my question is, is it true that laser printer will affect my health? especially lung.

About laser printer

jobneed — Fri, 06 May 2011 23:17:10 +0800

Sorry i know there's a lot topic about laser printer already. i have searched and read through it. but mostly i found that they only need monochrome printer. and some users even recommended expensive printer.
Okay lets start here...
i'm a student currently studying in university. i have a inkjet printer that have black ink only and color ink catridge already spoilt and dont feel like replace as it's expansive. and few days ago when i'm rush to print some important document, i ran out of ink, so i refill. now another problem came in... the paper stuck half way on the printing. and i'm so frustrated already. luckily i still manage to print out my document on time.

so i survey around on web about printer and found out that laser printer is really a cost saving in long term using.
i'm not those 1day print 100+ pages person. but i did print constantly as my lecture note is not uploaded all by once.

i've searched and finally i think of canon laser printer is quite satisfy my needs.
but i kind of blur about their product. i think i'm choosing the canon lbp3050 but i not sure is it a monochrome printer?
i need a both color and mono printing. beside the canon... any good suggestion for laser printing?
1 month i might print around 100+- pages with or without ink...
so is there any other better option rather than lbp3050?

thanks.
