Hi guys, my WF1000XM4 is draining battery fast, is it hinting that the battery need to be replaced? I have them for about 17 months in use.
Anyone done the battery replacement in Sony before? Wondering how much is the cost and will it damage the IP rating.

Lenovo Legion Y700 Tablet

Hi guys, is there any Lenovo Legion Y700 tablet user here? Mind to share how does it perform?
I am looking for a small tablet to bring to work and write some notes, understand that it doesn't support stylus but it seems those cheap stylus can still serve the job. The alternative to this tablet with stylus support is the iPad Mini 6 which is too pricey for me, and personally I am more into Android. Since this lenovo tab doesn't have global ROM, will there be any issue to use in Malaysia? Thanks to share!

Win 7 upgrade to Win 10 for Asus N56VZ

9926 — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 14:32:59 +0800

Hi guys, I am having a 8 years old Asus N56VZ running on Windows 7 home premium came with the PC. I am wondering is it possible to upgrade it to run Windows 10? Tried to google but I could not find a suitable driver for this PC to be used in Windows 10, and even Asus website itself no longer provide driver download for Windows 7 for this particular model. Some users in Oversea are able to upgrade it but having some issue with incompatible audio driver which cause the volume is very soft. Hope all the Sifu here can shed some light on this. TQ

*PC running on 8GB ram, I5-3210 CPU and 500GB SSD

*Quick update on 1st April 2021
I have upgraded to win 10 using the microsoft image creation tool via upgrade option, not doing a clean install. However I have encountered a few problem
- Card reader not working
- Bluetooth not showing up (solved by installing latest driver via windows update)
- GPU not showing up (solved via install latest Nvidia driver)
- CPU Temp reach 70c which normally only 55c when idling in Windows 7
- FN key not working at all

I have tried to install to latest driver / rolled back to old driver but still some issues can't be solved, anyone mind to help?

KIA Cerato audio setup

9926 — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:08:32 +0800

Hi all, currently having a Kia Cerato with stock HU (CBU small screen unit, not the 8 inch DVD) and speaker, added an active subwoofer about 6 months ago. All this while was quite satisfy with the performance but few weeks ago had a chance to listen to a morel maximus installed in my friend Proton Persona 2019, power by stock HU only. The sound suit my liking, and i am wondering if I replace my stock speaker to the same one, will it give the same outcome despite having different head unit? I don't mind to change the speaker but I wish to retain my ori headunit as I have seen the other cerato with aftermarket headunit, I don't like the look of the center console with the aftermarket casing and furthermore I am satisfy with the current HU as well. Also notice a lot of tread here mentioning about DSP, if install DSP only while maintaining all stock audio component, will the sound be different as well? need some advise, thanks.
