laptop going crazy

John89 — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 13:14:55 +0800

Hi guys, I am facing some problems with my laptop, hope you guys can help me.

Okay, so here's the problem:

When I press the power on on my laptop, and the "brand" logo shows up and it just stuck there. It does not just stuck there, there is also an annoying sound comes out from the speaker non-stop (the sound that comes out every time you start the computer or laptop).

So because of this problem, every time when I start my laptop, I will press F2, so that the laptop will boot from the disk drive. After pressing F2, everything runs smoothly.

Another problem occurs when I'm in the desktop. When I double click My Computer, My Document, IE, Firefox, etc.., they keep on Full screening and exit full screening automatically and non-stop. Some times it also minimizing and maximizing automatically and non-stop.

When I open Notepad, I cannot type a word using the laptop keyboard. I can only type words using an external keyboard.

Any one has faced this kind of problem before? Is it the laptop keyboard problem? Someone help me please

cannot connect to the internet

John89 — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 08:31:31 +0800

Broadband provider
ISP/package: Streamyx CoolUniPack 1mb
Location: KL

Personal equipment
Modem: Aztech DSL 305E
Router: Linksys WRT120N-SG

Problem details
Problem description: Few days ago, the streamyx package has been installed and I received this Innacomm Router W3100 from TMnet. I do not wish to use Innacomm because it has only 1 LAN port, so I switched back to my Aztech (modem) and Linksys (wireless router). When I try to connect the telephone line and everything to the modem and wireless router, the DSL light on the modem keeps on blinking and I cannot connect to the internet. However, when I use back the Innacomm Router that was provided, everything was fine and I can connect to the internet. Is there any problem with my modem and wireless router?

Problem with Warranty

John89 — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:51:35 +0800

I bought a MacBook Pro on 21 August 2009.

Few days after purchasing, I went to https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do to check when the MBP warranty expires.

So after I key in my Serial Number and Country, this came out:

Our records indicate that your product is covered under Apple's Limited Warranty which is estimated to expire on 15 May 2010

So I called Apple Care and the operator gave me a Case Number and asked me to send it together with my Proof of Purchase to "malaysiafax@apple.com". I sent them on 24 August 2009

But until today, I have not receive ANY e-mail from them yet....was wondering whether I sent to the correct address? Did they receive it?

Anyone has this kind of experience before?
