Bank Security Device showing low battery

whatsayyou — Tue, 16 May 2017 18:13:30 +0800

My HSBC security device is showing Low Batt whenever I on it now for online banking.
When I enquire about replacing the device, the CS wrote back saying there is a replacement fee of RM53.
Shouldn't the replacement be free?

Has anyone else had their security device replaced because of low batt? Did you get charged with a replacement fee?

WD Passport Ultra 2tb cannot be detected

whatsayyou — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:32:11 +0800

My passport ultra suddenly stopped working'
Plug in to usb3 port, it lights up and spins.
Sometimes appears in My Computer, sometimes doesnt.
Cant see in disk management, cause the program wont load.

Managed to run chkdisk once, but it failed at the end. Below is the log.

Anyway to salvage the data inside? Extracting the hdd from the casing is no use, right? Since the USB is soldered to it and I cant connect using sata to a desktop...

Chairs for home use

whatsayyou — Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:29:36 +0800

Not sure where to post this... I am looking for a new chair. To replace the one I am currently using at home which is lousy and i suspect is giving me back pains.
Searching for a chair with proper lower back support, head-rest, and if possible, detachable arm rests, as my table has a piece of wood around 9 cm placed vertically under it, meaning the arm rests will be in the way and I cannot move the chair totally under the table.
Any brands to recommend? I'm located in JB.

The thread can be expanded to talk abt chairs for gaming/home PC use too.

PC cant startup

whatsayyou — Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:42:33 +0800

My PC wont startup at all.
I tested the following:
1) I used a paper clip to short the PSU to get it to start and it works. PSU fan spins, the casing fan spins the hdd spins (i only disconnected the mobo power cable. the rest still plugged into HDD and casing fans).
2) Usually with the PSU switch on and LAN cable plugged into mobo, the LAN port will have lights, correct? This is without powering on the PC. Mine doesnt have light at the LAN port, which indicates a potential mobo problem?

Im using a silverstone st-60f-ES psu and asrock extreme 4 z77

There are no indicator lights on the mobo that says power is being supplied (with psu switch on, but not powering up the pc).

So does this mean the mobo is dead? I wonder how it died. I have the mains switched off but left the plug in the wall socket. When lightning strikes or power trip does this mean the mobo still has a chance of getting fried? Maybe i should have unplugged the wall socket...

Is there a USB adapter for making hotspot?

Is there a USB adapter for making hotspot?

whatsayyou — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:02:24 +0800

Hi All.

I want to share my LAN connection on my laptop with other devices (laptop, phone).
Is there a USB adapter that can do this?

I know there is a software Connectify which can do this. But it works erratically. And this is company laptop, so I dont have admin rights to tick 'Share connection' under the adapter settings.

Can someone point me to a few brands that can do this? Im sure there are some on taobao.

Buying gw2 account

whatsayyou — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:44:17 +0800

Hi peeps. got some qns on how to buy a gw2 account and transfer ownership safely.

Other than changing the email and getting the cdkey, is there anything else?

Is it possible that the seller can regain control of the sold account, just by sending a support ticket, since he knows the cdkey and new email of the buyer?

Unless the buyer changes the email once more (so that the seller wont know which email is tied to the account)?

Keeping windows HDD with a new pc

whatsayyou — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:10:22 +0800

I understand that if you change too many parts of the PC, windows wont boot.
I'll be upgrading my PC soon (change mobo, gfx, rams), but wish to keep using my winxp HDD in the new pc.
So how do i make it boot up and not have that error?

Or another way to put it, if i were to remove my windows HDD and plug into another PC, how do i make it boot?

Setting up connection for unifi to PC

whatsayyou — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:07:10 +0800

I will be getting unifi soon. Everything will be placed downstairs. However my PC is upstairs, and uses LAN cable.
I am using a Innacom W3100 currently (streamyx).
Is it possible to do the following: Unifi --> (wireless) Innacom --> (LAN cable) PC

I dont want to have a cable running from downstairs to my PC upstairs. So can I use the Innacomm to connect to the Unifi modem and act as a switch, so I can then run the cable from PC to Innacomm?

Hope u guys get what I mean.
