Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

Sorry for defending myself Kymmy, won't happen again!!!!!!!

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

You clearly don't know as much as you think since you seem to be confusing VIVO with something else.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

Well you did come across like a bit of a know-it-all ;)

I've never had any problems with Ebuyer...in fact almost all the parts for my PC were purchased from them. Quick delivery, spot on service.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

Well how often do I have to specify that I progressed from systems administration to digital fault finding to component level repair and then onto 4th line support for a total of 15 years, or how often does Zing have to say his qualifications..

In my book it's often those who say often, often can't do ;)

BTW, what is VIVO ;)

Kymmy - you don't have any Maxim 8731AE chips do you? got a Dell XPS on the bench at the moment with a faulty one.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

Nope, but they do fry the charge circuit quite often.. If you don't mind waiting there's a guy in HK that does them on eBay (I have bought from him before)

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

Looking into it, pain in the neck the charging circuit on this dell heh, took half a dozen components out.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

They're not to bad, you should have tried toshiba's in the mid/late 90's, curse of a million screws were our favourite nicknames for them

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
 

Not as bad as the Acer Travelmate 230 lol

Been out of the game for 6 years this month, got sick and tired of all the users trying to blame their own stupidity on myself and the techs under my control.

Now I just play with electronics for the company but it mainly involves real time tracking/telemetry, communication, engine management & ancillaries...
