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

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.

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.

Kymmy · 22-03-2010, 15:51

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)

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

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

Lord Nikon · 22-03-2010, 16:08

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...
