I make a mistake here...I should test it on new mobo...

I am able to install chinese win7 x64 iso on my new msi b460m mortar
and i5 10400 cpu in crucial ssd.But with standard vga driver.
When first time success , i tried to update to latest win7 uhd 630
driver but no display during boot-up later.
I install second time , let it used standard vga driver (stuck at one resolution
1024x768 ).

So i plan to used 4tb data hdd to install win10 pro to one of the partiton.
I want to free my ssd to test other win7 x64 iso ...
Below is the error show:-
data hdd got 3 partitions....195gb...98gb...3432gb.

drive 0 partition 1 15mb MSR (reserved)

drive 0 partition 2 195gb primary

drive 0 partition 3 98gb primary

drive 0 partition 4 3432gb primary

During install win10 pro on new desktop pc , select empty 195gb
partition and click "next" ....error message something like refer to
setup logfile.It wouldn't let me go further step.

I only know 4tb data hdd got ESP AND MSR format file.
This huge 4tb hdd got movie files on it.I cannot make mistake,
i want to save my movie files...

Anyone know how to solve the esp and msr file on hdd ?

cba5566 — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 13:59:50 +0800

I am using unifi modem huawei hg8240h + tplink Archer C1200 router.

I used streamyx router dlink dsl 2750e last time.

Someone in the forum said want to used this dlink dsl 2750e router as access point.

I have test it .... it works. 2750e router spec on web site show low value ...support 24M download , 1M upload only.

I used lan cable connect from tplink Archer C1200 router to dlink 2750e router.

Wifi result from 2750e router was very good.... download 32.7M , upload 9.5M.

I thought wifi result close to the spec which were 24M download , 1M upload .

Surprised this baby router never fail me.....

I want to connect unifi modem huawei hg8240h direct with dlink dsl 2750e router now.
Will I damage huawei modem + 2750e router ?

I want 2750e router support wifi and lan wire connection.
Possible to do that without mess up the unifi modem setting ?

Wira door lock problem

cba5566 — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 20:08:13 +0800

My wira having door lock problem now.

If I used key to unlock the car from the driver side,all 4 locks will go up but after 1 second it will auto lock instantly.

I can't open my driver side door to sit inside.

I have opened the driver side door to check the lock actuator, it still can engage.

If I used alarm remote to lock the car, while the driver side door open,the alarm buzzer will trigger on .

I press blue button 1 more time ,suppose all the lock should be in up position but after 1 second the other 3 locks

go down rapidly.Only left the driver side lock in up position ! And it is hard to press down the lock! (believe actuator

keep engaging).

I believe the alarm control box got problem.Anyone have other idea to solve the problem ?

How much to replace the wira alarm control box and the labour cost ?

hard to shift to first and second gear

cba5566 — Tue, 06 May 2014 18:08:52 +0800

I'm driving 12 years old proton wira 1.5 manual now.

I have changed a set of clutch kit,new gear oil and fly wheel on 15mar14 due to loud noise when shift to second and third gear.

I have used it without problem almost one month.

Since my timing belt clock at another 80,000 km,i have no choice and have to change timing belt set ,power steering belt,alternator

belt and air cond compressor belt on 15apr14.

My nightmare has come......

After fews days of changed the timing belt,I found that I having problem to shift to first gear from stationary.I felt hard to shift to

first gear.....I have no choice and use second gear to run the car.It is NO ALWALYS happen.

If i go downhill from third gear and slow down to pass through speed bump....sometimes i can't shift to second gear and force to use

back the third gear...lucky it was on downhill.

So i drive back the car to see the foreman....they said clutch (let go) was in lowest position.Because i like that way....let go the clutch

a bit it will move.So the foreman adjust clutch in high position....I test drive 15 min,o.k. but it is not practical...reason car move forward

if i reverse the car(clutch about 1/2 inches height).So asked foreman to adjust back clutch.

It is a bit high now.(clutch about 3mm high).Unfortunately the problem still unsolve.

I have asked the foreman is it because of the timing belt tight cause engine vibrate more and caused the problem he says NO.

I am having serious problem now.....I don't know how to solve this problem.

Anyone facing this problem before ,please advice me what to do to overcome this problem.

Alignment for 4 tyres ?

cba5566 — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 16:15:19 +0800

I am driving my 12 years old 1.5 wira manual now.

A few days ago,i changed my 2 front tyres to Michelin XM2(reason 2 front tyres worn out).I still used my 1.5 years old Goodyear duraplus .(2 at the

back)

That means, 2 new michelin xm2 tyres at front and 2 goodyear tyres at back.

I requeast to do 4 wheels alignment.

I saw the foreman plug in the alignment tool......

Later the foreman informed me that my alignment still o.k and didn't charge me for alignment.

Is it because of my mix of tyres that cause the foreman don't want to do the alignment ?

If 4 tyres same brand then only do the alignment ?

I need advise now.....

Radiator overheat...need advise

cba5566 — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 18:06:43 +0800

I'm driving my 12 years old 1.5 wira now.

After driving 30 min outside and return back home bad thing happened.

When I stopped my car and reversed the car parking into my house....I found that

coolant radiator boiling out and dropped on the floor.It was in brown color !

I immediately off the car engine and opened the front bonnet for checking.

The radiator fan is not spinning.Wait 1 hour and restart the car a few times still the same...(after 8 hours idle still same)

Confirmed radiator fan not spinning.Air cond fan is working.

I drove the car to the nearby workshop for foreman checked.(3 to 4 min driving car distance).

These were the third times happened.

1)4 years ago,no air cond---changed new radiator fan.

2)2 years ago,no air cond,coolant radiator boiling when reverse parking home---changed recond radiator fan (my father spare fan).

3)today---coolant radiator boiling when reverse parking home ????

When the foreman opened the radiator cap,he observed the cap is rusted and not good.

1)The top and bottom piping from the radiator are getting hard and need to be change.

2)He mentioned radiator can be flush...but he suggest change it since it is in bad shape...to a dual layer type radiator.The coolant is

in brown color.

3)The plastic resevoir tank can see brown color partical stick on it.It is very dirty.

4)checked engine black oil still good.

Do I need to change the radiator or service it (cheaper) ?

The funny thing is ,he says after change the top and bottom piping,change new radiator (or after flush out radiator ),

fix back everything and we can see the radiator fan is working back or not ?

I think the radiator fan is spoil in the first place ,right ?

cba5566 — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:47:06 +0800

Jadis JPL tube preamp consists of 3 x 12AX7 tubes plus one 1 x 12AU7 for tube buffer(CD in).

http://www.yunwt.net/2wenzai_pre/pre67.htm

I'm gonna build the tube buffer first to "test" its sound .

If eveything o.k. then I will build the 3 x 12AX7 tube preamp.

My question is this JPL preamp sound performance wise similar with Marantz M7 since

both preamp also using same 12ax7 tubes ?
