i have a Motorola droid razr, it updated a couple weeks ago to 4.1.2(jellybean) and i have had nothing but problems with the phone, it keeps dropping wifi, data and connection to the cell tower. rogers said to try another sim card, i dont want to buy another one, so i was told to phone motorola. tried that and they said i can send them the phone and they will look at it or i can root the phone and go back to android 4.0. why should i have to hack my phone just to make it work the way it used to. so neither motorola or rogers will do anything unless i spend money. i dont have any money to spend and if i want to get a new phone i need to pay a $580 cancellation fee. any one got any ideas on what i can do.

do these still exist? Where can I get them?

I'm trying to decide between these 2 drives with 512gb/480gb. Performance between the 2 is close enough. My main issue concerns the warranties. The Plextor has a 5 year vs Crucials 3yr. The Crucial has a cap of 72tb regardless of age. Anybody have an opinion?
Also , can anybody comment on dealing with either company concerning warranty issues from a Canadian perspective.

Thinking of selling my monitor, my eyes get tired too easily when looking at the monitor and was told to try out the Benq 120Hz monitor.

I bought this last September, so it still have about 2.3 years left in warranty.

How much do you think is a fair price?

Advice please.,,,,,,So many Asus p8z77 boards!

What is the difference between the Asus P8Z77-V and P8Z77-V LX and P8Z77-I DELUXE motherboards (apart from wi-fi)?

And are these the best choices for this price range?

Thanks.

What a coincidence, myself n Killswitch were building an upgraded PC "at the exact same time" this afternoon, same Mobo......RIVE!!!!
Thanks for the links Joe!!!! Mucho appreciated, BUT really, only 4.2 Ghz??? You knew I was gonna "Get ya".... ;)

Vince Li, notorious murderer and cannibal to be playing on your beaches soon. Heading towards unsupervised total freedom.

Just need a basic motherboard that takes DDR3.

This is for a person working from home as a call agent using a company provided LiveCD that is required to upgrade.

Hopefully I can get a board for $30 or less, or will go to $50 if there is at least 4GB of ram with it. Another $20 for a 2GHz dual core or better. Can't get into spending on performance gear since the budget is low. All I'll be getting back is the replaced computer (P4 :whistle:)

Let me know!!

anyone know if there's modular EPS12v cables available for a Corsair HX series psu?

I just got my hands on an Asus Z7S WS with a pair of Quads onboard and 16gb ram. I'm thinking of swapping it out with my Phenom X4 but I would need a second EPS connector.....that or I suppose I could sell the stuff

Alright this is my first ever pc build. Will be used mostly if not all for gaming. I've put together a parts sheet based of what I've researched. My budget was 1800 but I was thrilled to come in a little under that to be honest. I will be buying in the US. I really don't have any preferences since it is my first build. I do need wifi however. Do to the nature of my apartment I need wifi no possible way of running a cord and I haven't found much info on how to get wifi in this bad boy. So, any advice, recommendations, different parts, or changes that people would suggest would be greatly appreciated. This is my first build so I am not too sure if this is even a good build and I am also a huge noob with terms still so I apologize in advance. Here it is thanks again!

So, 2 yrs ago I got one side and the back of my property (backyard) completed, I know I did post pics!

btw...I detest the "Sub Division Panel Fences", they're friggin expensive and do not stand up well to our wet westcoast weather.

Obviously I'm modelling my fence after Skyrim :) My backyard does have to be Jack Russell proof ( x 2 ), but with Jacks, may as well b Dragon Proof :whistle:

Anyhow, same theme as 2 yrs ago, Posts are either Yellow Cedar or Fir "Poles", 10 footers are only $12.50 each, there also 10 - 14" in diameter!!

The "Pole Yard" is a 5 min drive from my house (this is where Hydro Poles are milled), right next to there Yard is a local mill. I get a truckload of "slabs" (for both horizontals and verticals) for $35.

Each pole is cemented into the ground 24" down, one horizontal slab top n bottom lag bolted into the posts, then verticals.

Unfortunately my 48 yr old body feels it by early afternoon!!!

This is how the "finished" product looks, about 200 ft of fencing"





...and the final side, my neighbor on this side is awesome, offering to pay for half materials and helping me on his weekend off (unlike the dickwad Lawyer on the other side):





Fence is 6 ft high along this side and 7 ft on other sides, we like our privacy on our patio :whistle:

Had to throw one shot of the bananas in, they were uncovered mid March his year, looks like 3 of them will be producing fruit this year and will likely reach 20 ft high by July!!



Cheers n thanks for looking, I'll finally get my replacement RIVE tomorrow, so evenings will be spent getting Procyon II finished (I hope) !!

So in life we all have lets call them quirks, my biggest one is the line "It was denied Rma/I do not want to Rma it so it just sits"

To me that is completely insane, if this ever happens to you and the item is in the warranty time frame send it to me, I don't charge I just get results.

Or if you just dont want it anymore I will find it a home :thumb:

Braineater has about one of these posts a week and they drive me nutz!!!!!:doh:

:punk:Ps Congrats Brain you the man:clap:
