Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 P1000 camera problem..

TonDu — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:53:36 +0800

Hello,

I have GT P1000 7". Before the camera takes picture almost instantly after i touch the "shoot" button. Then 2 days ago when i tried to take picture again it took about 10 seconds the shoot the picture.

Tried the default camera, camera360 app, and vignette camera app but they are all the same. Lagging in shooting the picture.

My tab is on Gingerbread.DXJPI firmware version 2.3.3 kernel version 2.6.35.7 root@DELL126#2

Is there any way to repair this problem? Any suggestion?

Transfer hi8 tape to PC using s video but no sound

TonDu — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:48:36 +0800

I have an old Samsung hi8 video camera that i bought about 8 years ago. it still working nicely. I wanted to transfer video i recorded on hi8 tapes to PC so that i could edit and burn them to DVD. I have kworld analog PCI TV card on my PC.

I tried to transfer the video to PC using s-video cable. although the video's visual transfered greatly but alas there is no sound recorded. it's a mute video. How do I transfer the video's visual along with its sound to my PC? Been trying for days even using that composite cable with the RCA connector but to no avail.

is there any hardware that can transfer hi8 video to PC with sound? help hah....

Where can i repair my Thrustmaster Wheel?

TonDu — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:51:32 +0800

Hello, I have this Thrustmaster FGT Rumble Wheel.

Last week it somehow had a mind of its own. It won't calibrate and keep truning left and right by its own (this in the calibration thingy in PC not the wheel itself). hope you all can understand what i am trying to say.

When I play racing games, in the game it won't obey my instruction..for example if i turn left, it won't instead it turn left and right and left maybe something wrong in the wheel..so i need to send it to repair shop.
anyone know a shop that would repair it??

Need For Speed

TonDu — Thu, 27 May 2010 11:10:59 +0800

Hello,

I just bought the game and install everything. It installed alright but when I tried to play it stuck at the opening..the "select language" thingy..

My comp specs are....

AMD Phenom x4 620
MSI 770-C45
DDR3 1333 2GB x 2
Sapphire HD5770

Ain't that enough to play that game...??

I read it need at least XP service pack 3

Mine is XP Service Pack 2.

Is that the culprit as to why I can't play the game? Or is it because my PC don't have internet connection?

upgrading my PC to decent gaming PC

TonDu — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 14:21:21 +0800

Ok,

I just bought a second hand PC for RM300 complete with LCD monitor, DVD drives, a 80GB HDD..

The spec are

Processor : Intel Core Duo E6400 2.13ghz

Motherboard : Intel Corp D946GZIS

RAM : Corsair PC2-5330 (333mhz) DDR2 512mb

PSU : don't know so it's safe to assume it's a biasa-biasa punya PSU

Graphic Card : none..using onboard punya..

so,

I want to upgrade this PC to one that can play recent games (racing mostly)

i also want to use this PC for graphic designing, video editing and using 3d software (3d MAX 9)..

TonDu — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:24:45 +0800

Hello,

My boss asked me to survey for a PC which will be use for heavy video editing and graphic designing. Problem is i don't know how to choose PC specs.

We will need this PC ASAP.

Whether it's intel or AMD based PC doesn't matter. Budget will be around 5K.

We don't need monitor, keyboard, mouse as we already have those equipments.

thank you in advance.

External HDD problems..red light

TonDu — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:08:34 +0800

Hello,

I bought an external HDD during PC Fair last year..

it's been having a problem.

usually when i plug in the usb power cord to my laptop it shows the greenish yellow light meaning it's working perfectly...

and then one day the light turned reddish..and my laptop cannot detect the external HDD anymore..

is it dead?

can it be repair?

if can, how much would it cost me to get it repair ?

Hello,

I intend to buy a PC.

My budget around RM2.5K. Main purpose for this PC is for using 3D softwares, video editing, graphic designing and playing games (racing games mostly..)

I have a PC before using AMD Athlon processor and ATI Radeon All-in-one 128mb but i left it in Sabah.

I like AMD processor and ATI graphic card.dunno why though...maybe sentimental value because my first PC using AMD and ATI..hehehehe

Can anyone suggest a PC specs for me?

Anyone using Blender 3D?

TonDu — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 11:57:13 +0800

I am trying to learn about 3D art. I am not into animation just modeling character and things...car, building etc etc...

Anyway, my skill in 3D softwares almost nil..I tried bryce before but that was short live. I am interested to learn using Blender because it's a free open source 3D programming. to buy them high end 3D softwares will starve me for months.

Can anyone tell me how to start modeling in Blender??
