It is always a nightmare dealing with computers. You just dont have a clue whats happening in it. First, my laptop couldnt start up, not even in safe mode or through a Windows CD. Seek help from my office IT pple and his initial guess was RAM failure. Ok i tot...not so bad...then i could replace and upgrade my RAM at the same time. but just to make sure its a RAM failure, i sent the machine to a computer clinic, surprisingly they managed to get it working and said it wasnt a hardware failure. They claimed it was a spyware problem and updated my system. I was suspicious, it's wasnt that simple. So brought it back and tried reformat the system, the machine shut down again and couldnt reboot. Arrgghhh....brought back to the clinic and this time they certified its a RAM failure...WTF....if they are that GooD, it wouldnt take them twice to notice the problem. In fact i did tip them off that it could be a hardware problem in my machine. And most upsetting part is i have to pay them 130euros for their poor service, which i am so heartache abt. Luckily, second round service was Free since the same problem happened again. Next, they quoted for my new 2x512MB rams for 160euros. Without thinking, i rejected that and took my laptop home. Got into eBay and bought brand new RAMS for only 80euros plus delivery from the UK. What a Good Buy....thats twice the saving done. Definitely computer repairs in Cork is a Rip Off!!! I would be very careful next time to send my machine for repair, but sometimes you have to just to get confirmation of the problem, which leaves you no Choice!!! When all system went well...my audio started giving crackling distorted sounds. It comes off and on....SIGH!!!! This is a tough one, i couldnt detect if it was a driver problems or hardware failure. It could also be overheating that is causing problems to the motherboard. If that is the case, I would have to buy a new laptop...Sh**!!! This time i couldnt send it back to the repair shop, just in case another Rip Off. So seeked advice from my IT dept. It could be a connection problem to the speakers, which means i would have to take the machine apart and see whats wrong. And strangely the sound went away and it has been perfect for a week now. In the end, i still dont know if my machine is in perfect condition as I write. I hope you would be GooD PLEASSeee!!!! Anyway here's some pictures of Warsaw which was part of my Poland trip in June, and which i was meant to continue posting months ago. Not to deal with this too much, I say i prefer Krakow than Warsaw. As Warsaw is a more administrative city of Poland, it was a boring and nothing much to visit besides the Old Town. Good thing was we only had a day there, so it wasnt too bad. It has some Russian architecture, Big Concrete majesic buildings and always comes with monuments or statues at the front.
