Mechanical Keyboard - Key not working properly

klaw — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 15:01:05 +0800

Hi,
I've got a Logitech G413 Mechanical Keyboard that I've been using since 2020, and lately, my Left+CTRL key has problems registering keypress (need to press down really hard sometimes for the CTRL to register).
So I've already used the compressed air to clear out dust, removed the keycap to check for damage. I also swapped the Right+CTRL keycap with the Left+CTRL keycap, since the Right side one is rarely used.

I think it's come to a point where I suspect it's a faulty switch, but I have no skills to DIY repair, as it would require soldering and de-soldering.

Does anyone here have any recommendations for shops/services in Klang Valley that provides these services? Or are there ample shops that will help repair in those IT hubs like PJ Digital Mall, Low Yat Plaza?

Thanks in advance for help!

Hack Wall in Condo: Structural Engineer Approval

klaw — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:29:31 +0800

Hi,
Wanna seek advice from anyone who has been in this situation.

I am renovating a condo unit, and want to hack off a wall. The contractors have confirmed that this is not a load bearing or structural wall, and it will be safe to hack. However, the JMB will not allow the work to proceed until we get certification from a Structural Engineer that the work will not affect the structure of the building.

Does anyone have any advice as to:
1) Where I can find a structural engineer?
2) How much would it cost?

Appreciate any response.

My personal review after using this watch for 7 months:
Perfect for middle distance runners (up to 21k)
Battery life can go up to 4 hours when in use, or around 10 days when used as normal watch
My favorite feature is that this is water-proof, so if you go swimming in the pool and you're lazy to remove the watch, swim along with it.
Even though it looks bulky, it is actually quite light.

This is the watch on my wrist.

This is marketing material.

How does TV-out work with graphics cards?

klaw — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:35:51 +0800

Hi all,

I have the Asus ATI Radeon EAH2600PRO card, and I intend to output the video to a TV instead of a monitor.

The card has a 7-pin S-Video port, and my TV only has a 4-pin S-Video port (It's a pretty old TV lah).

I can't find a cable that corresponds accordingly, so I bought a 7-pin S-Video to RCA (the Yellow/Red/White) connector from Lowyat plaza. I plugged this connector into the S-Video port on the card, and I have another RCA cable that I plug both into the connector and the TV.

I have tried to get the computer's output on the TV, but nothing shows on the TV? Does this card only support S-Video connections, and not RCA connections? Or cuz my TV really sucks (I don't have another TV in my house to test on)? Or am I doing things wrong? Or should my monitor be plugged on at the same time as the TV?

Anyone with experience with outputting video to their TV via RCA, can share some hints?

Thanks!
