Warranty of WD HDD

chrisf — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:31:15 +0800

I visited a local shop in Jusco and looked for a WD, they sell 2.5" 320GB (5400RPM) Scopio Blue internal HDD for RM149 with warranty for 1 year. A shop keeper said.

But to my knowledge warranty for HDD usually is at least 3 years, isn't it? The shop keepers seem don't know much about this so I have to ask ppl here. Anybody know? THANKS in advance!

How to call to China mobile phone from Home line?

chrisf — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:34:39 +0800

As now nobody working at the Telekom Malaysia at this late hour, I called 100 and no one there to answer my call.

Anyone know what's the call pattern for making call to mobile phone in China from my home line?
I tried 00 86 132 xxxx xxxx but no success. the call just drop. if I called without 00, just start with 86, then the call made to Taiwan!!! how funny, Taiwan code is 886 I remember.

I did some Google search and return same result as I presumed, which is 00 86 xxx xxxx xxxx

Anyone know?? thanks a lot!

Hi, i got 2 original Apple softwares for grab. Sorry posting cuz couldn't found the sub category under Garage Sales for this item. Does it indicating that Malaysian don't need original S/W?

1. iLife 06 Upgrade DVD (same DVD contents as "retail" box version, only different name)
2. iWork '06 Install DVD with box.

Come with Apple Software Coupons (x4), No scratch on DVDs

Each RM120, take both for RM200

Repair Nikon Electronic Dry Cabinet

chrisf — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:10:08 +0800

I have a 4 years old Nikon electronic dry cabinet that's no working anymore - no electricity. I am from JB, anyone know where can I send it for repair? Should I send to Nikon by way of camera shop, or normal home electronic appliance repair shop will do fine? My main concern is workmanship, then cost. I can just bring back to Sporean Nikon where it's bought, but when I carry it back, i might be charged by the JB customs for tax. cuz they might insist saying it's a new item, because it still look new. What is my best appraoch? Any advice is welcome...
