Epson L210 printer...

scarlion — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 13:49:27 +0800

Hi guys,

recently my printer just appeared to have some problem in it..

it's printing skipping line like

i tried to do software cleaning, open up the upper part of the printer tried to clean some of the excessive ink in the tray

it did improve by a little but still have the skipping line for the black inks but the colour ink seems working perfectly..

the total amount of pages printed on this printer is around 6000+ (4000-5000 Black white pages , around 1000+ colour pages)

it's definitely not the problem of insufficient ink ( i filled them up to the MAX level)

i bought this printer in March 2013. It is Epson L210...

all these while i use it to print my lecture notes , assignment, reports and etc.

brought it to my nearest IT shop and they told me that could be some printhead clog problem and it might cost RM2xx-3xx...so they suggest me to go for a new printer instead.

now i am using my dad's printer HP deskjet 3635, the amount of catridge i need to replace is quite frequent with my usage since the catridge inks really drained quite fast and non-economical (RM38/catridge)

hmm any suggestion?

Thank you for your time.

Saga FLX weird noise after long distance driving

scarlion — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 22:38:09 +0800

hi guys, few question to be answered ya..

recently when i drive my saga flx exe'14 on highway then met some jam halfway my journey, i realised that there were some noises happened to be from passenger side( not sure front or back but personally i think from front part)... the noise is like "yik yik" metal grinding sound (not sure if it's tyre/disc brake/gearbox/drum brake/bearing/lower arm joint/etc), for the first time this noise came is when i am driving about 20-40km/h, <20km/h will have just a little bit of "yik yik" sound and the noise disappeared after i speed up(>40km/h)...hmm what could be the problem huh?

i went to outside workshop to have a check, the foreman helped me to take out brake pad and clean it along with greasing the brake calliper and he told me to go back to proton sc since my mileage just 10k km and warranty is still there...ok i went back to sc but the mechanic in the sc just use the compressor air gun to blow out all the dust on the front disc, rear drum brake, tighten lower arm bolt and nuts, the outcome is still the same after i went back to sc twice

the weird part is that this thing only happen after i drove on the highway all the way from my hometown(penang) to my uni (perak) which means it happen only when the vehicle is warmed-up but the mentioned noise will just disappeared on the next day when the car is cooled down... driving on short distances will never meet the noise
any sifu can give some words of advise?

P/S: last time when i get my car, i go stick some cheapo door visor and the 2x sided tape is really sucks , so anyone know how much does the original saga flx door visor cost? my existing visor will be easily fall off during raining because it doesn't fit the shape of saga door( there is really some shape on the door after i observed carefully) and the water droplet will pass through the 2x sided tape which causes the adhesiveness of the 2x sided tape to be reduced...my friend told me to use 3M heavy duty 2x sided tape but i heard there is some kind of glue that can be used to stick the door visor with the door permanently ... well i hope to solve it once and for all

tq

Questions about job

scarlion — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 21:47:41 +0800

Hi all , i have a doubt.

I heard my friend said that nowadays most of the company only want to hire a degree/diploma holder regardless of courses that you studied because he said that the course that you study is not necessary the job you will be doing in the future

Is it this true?

sorry that i am just a foundation student and i know my working path is still long to go but curiousity kill the cat:sweat:

UTAR foundation student need help.

scarlion — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 21:42:04 +0800

Hi everyone, I am here to seek for help as I am having semester break. Yup I am now studying foundation in science leading to engineering degree course in UTAR.

I am going to finish my foundation programme around April this year(2014). Before I enrolled into foundation programme, my main option to engineering degree programme is Chemical engineering but now I feel like going to change it into another but having no idea which field of engineering to choose

yeah I saw many ppl said that always study / follow the path that you interested. Alright , so I am a motorsport enthusiast. I followed a lot news about motorsport especially bikes ....

UTAR offered their engineering course in 2 campuses. One is in Setapak , KL and another one is in Kampar, Perak. I am now studying in Kampar campus. My parent advise me to think about the courses in Kampar as it will be convenient for me along my study path as I am from Penang since my brother who still studying his Mechanical Engineering course in Setapak campus do sometimes encounter difficulties such as transport when coming back Penang, expenses , etc.

Ya I know that choosing a degree course is not based on the location of the campus but seriously I do take count the difficulties as mentioned.

I think I stop here now .

Hoping someone can help by giving me some opinion

Thank you.

AUCMS MD UKM course.

scarlion — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:49:11 +0800

hi guys.. i got 9A(A+/A) and 1B+ for SPM 2012
Ok so now my school SPM candidates with 8A and above are offered full scholarship by AUCMS 20 places for Medical course,so i am one of them.
Hmm..there are few questions i would like to ask about AUCMS(Allianze University College of Medical Science.
I surfed thru Lowyat forum and saw some ppl leave their comments on the medical course : MD UKM.
1.)I saw some seniors said that the MD UKM course offered by AUCMS are different from UKM course itself, they said UKM MD are recognised by Singapore government while MD UKM by AUCMS are not.Is it true?
2.)How to know if a medical courses are accredited ? Which government body are in charge for the accreditation of medical course? If for engineering , Board of Engineer Malaysia will responsible for the accreditation.
3.)Any comments on AUCMS? facilities?
4.)If i accept their full scholarship offer, i have to tie/ bond with AUCMS for 5~15 years(depends) after graduated.Wad's ur opinion?

UPDATED:
Today i came back from AUCMS.......They told my parent and I about all the details.
I was offered a full scholarship for medical course with the terms and condition of i must get CGPA 3.0 and above to maintain the scholarship~ If my CGPA dropped below 3.0 , the scholarship will automatically changed to LOAN to study.
Now they really offer free accomodation , bus service , medical service and including study fees.
If i wan to study there, i just have to pay RM100 of fees monthly to AUCMS. Their staff said this is to ensure that those students who get their scholarship wont think that it's free then relax to study like that.(There are no free lunch in this world.)
So i am not sure should i accept the offer....
Any idea to know my interest towards DOCTOR career?
How is DOCTOR's life?hectic? ==" (sounds not professional at all)..
oh yeah... i have to bond with them 15 years if i accept their full scholarship~
how to know if i have passion / interest in doctor career

PLEASE guide me
