New Battery

August 30th, 2009 jedwan No comments

Just bougth an HP Mini Netbook – seems that the battery is either 1) Inserted incorrectly (cannot imagine how, it just clicks in); 2) Will not take a charge; 3) Battery indicator does not indicate there is a battery, or I guess 4) Battery is defective.

 

Any clues/suggestions? Thank you!

 

AT&T Upgrades and Plans..

August 29th, 2009 jedwan No comments

I went to Best Buy today to upgrade to  the Impression. I was told I had to buy it on line. I don’t have a problem with with doing that and another  2 year contract. We’ll probably always have AT&T.

The girl at Best Buy told me I wouldn’t have to change my plan – just extend it for two more years. :-) Made me happy – but when I look here it gives you the option of 3 plans. None of which I want.

Is there a way to keep the plan you have. I have a family plan that suits us fine. We don’t need more minutes.

Thanks!

iPhone 3G 16GB under warrenty question

August 29th, 2009 jedwan No comments

I have a iPhone 3G 16GB under warranty at Best Buy. I have recently dropped it in water and it has stopped working. How will Best Buy replace it if they do not have the iPhone 3G model anymore in the 16GB? Will I get a 3GS in its place?

Acer-Laptop with AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual-Core Processor-Blue-AS6530-6522

 

I ordered the above machine on the 18th of August while it was listed as instock online. I was notified that it had to be backordered on the 21st of August. A little less than a week later, I recieve a second e-mail informing me that my order had to be backordered. I was wondering how many other people have experienced this delay, and if anyone knows how long of a wait we are looking at here. Thank you! :)

Best Portable External Hard Drive?

August 28th, 2009 jedwan No comments

I am planning on purchasing a new portable external hard drive at Bestbuy. I have been looking at several options and at many customer reviews and have narrowed it down to two products.

 

I am looking for a quality product that could last me several years and that is sturdy. I need something that can backup my office files, and also store a lot of my movies, music and photos.  Both my choices have 500GB of storage and are portable. They both have generally positive reviews, but the first choice is about $116 before taxes, and the second is $156 before taxes. If the second is a better buy and value than I do not mind getting it.

 

Here are the two links to my two choices:

 

SimpleTech Signature Mini 500GB 2.5" Portable External Hard Drive (FS-U25/500EC)

AVG anti virus problems

August 28th, 2009 jedwan No comments

Any one else having a problem with AVG anti virus or is it just me ? I’ve hear its stopped working for some people. It’s not working right for me at all, as of this morning I have been getting a lot of errors from it every time I try to open a new webpage on Firefox. I get a Connection Rest and have to refresh. Offten more then once.

It keep coming up constantly and its extremely annoying and its hard to get any work done.  It’s the only anti virus that I have so I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

I have the Firefox 3.5 and AVG antivirus 8.5, Win XP

 

Error code
szName avgnxexe
SzModver 2.5.0.3200
SzAppver 8.5.0.401
Offset 00003719
SzModname iFW_filter.dll

Champions Online – Early Start

August 28th, 2009 jedwan No comments

Looking through the forums, I’ve noticed that I’m not the only one still waiting for their pre order box, as the shipping seems to be abnormally slow. Is there any way that we are going to be able to get into the early start program, or are we out of luck? I ordered from best buy because I liked the perks they offered, but if I’m missing out on the biggest one, then i really have no reason to go elsewhere where I CAN get everything I’m supposed to…
