Rhemmymatician: Thx bro.
I just asked and was told dt I shd buy a core 13 motherboard instead of an AMD, that amd gets spoilt quickly. What do u think?

i argued the same tin some years ago about AMD not until i met a guy who knows his onions (u dont need a soothsayer 2 tell u stories)..like i said if u nor know about something den u nor suppose 2 discourage people.. despite d fact that u dont know d stakes in d industry doesnt mean others dont know theirs..i actually fixed an over heating board with just a bios update after i don work on d board with no success sometin dat some engineers has condemned for replacement.tins u must know abt AMD

1. AMD boards are not 4 quacks..that is y de are afraid of working on it cos de tend 2 damage it more.. (come to tink of
it if AMD is dat bad them 4 don fall out of business not just in 9ja but d reset d world..na becos AMD de market naim
make anybody fit de afford intel otherwise u for de use VIA processors lol)

2. AMD boards are cheap...compared 2 dia rivals..

3. the fact that de tel u dat it spoils on time depends on how u handle ur laptop..(i tink there shud be a tutorial on
how 2 use a laptop lol). na intel board nor de burn... nor be ur own get problem.. 9ja nor de sabi fix.. na 2 de
replace b dia own...y didnt de fix ur own intel board if de are gud in wat de do..mtcheww

btw i believe ur processor should be in a good state even when d board is bad.. i dont know if its an icore processor..cos an icore processor can only be used on a board dat supports icore processors.. besides u didnt tell us d kind of board you have...if u buy an icore supported board and ur processor is not an icore believe me dat moni don waste. more also if u buy an AMD board u have to buy an AMD processor..an icore board can only be used on a casing with the same form factor as d board itself.. boards of these days are not made strong becos the producer wants 2 make moni and wouldnt want your board 2 last more dan a specific no of yrs...if de dont do it dat way.. den de are out of business...electronics have wat we cal MTTF (mean time to failure)..everytin has time.. na before manufacturers de look one side..

u can even get a gud graphics card with at least 512mb as an add on the AMD board. sometin u can never get on a platter of gold on intel boards except u get moni 2 blow..

tink bro....shine ur eyes

all4naija: Dude, go get yourself a new motherboard and stop listening to hearsay by some individual who doesn't have much idea about REFLOW sustainability. Why waste the time running around incurring cost at the process while you can get a motherboard that would have a guarantee at a considerable price?

guy if you dont know about something den shut ur trap... u tink all the new board u si in the market are acutally new..am in d game...scraps are bought from individual stores n from difft part of the state and taken to unknown locations and then worked on. some even shipped out of the country. they are den refurbished and brought back sealed and tagged as new ones..


my guy if u nor de d line den stay out of the line...nor talk wetin u nor know...i only gave him a piece of advice..he has his own sense of reasoning. so he should choose what he wants....

Rhemmymatician: Thanks bro. Any idea aw much the rework ish will cost me if I find it in lagos? Trying to go for the cheaper option in motherboard, laptop, or rework

i really dont know..but just make out time and look out 4 a gud repair shop.

Rhemmymatician: From what I hear a motherboard costs an arm and a leg. Will you advice me to get a motherboard or to get a new laptop?
What is the assurance that the motherboard's VGA(which I reckon will be fairly-used) will not be half-way bad
Thanks bro

well i havent seen someone with a bga reflow station machine here in nigeria.i believe u can find one in lagos(d last time i checked, i didnt find any in computer village,maybe i nor waka far but i tink one or 2 persons has it.).. i also believe if u can find the right person with the right equipment u dont have 2 buy a new motherboard..

VGA problem happens 2 all motherboard irrespective of the manufacturer.. when your vga chip generates heat, it tends togradually shift the chip away from the board...using an smd rework station would do d board no gud but instead harm it esp by a quack..its not by heating the chip.the best bet is if u can find someone with the reflow machine 2 remove d chip and resolder it back den u are gud 2 go.. using hot air from an smd rework station will not sustain it..it might last 4 months and come up with the same issues again.u can google bga rework station 2 get an idea of what am talking about..

Samyokporua: My pc crashed, a sony vain, weneva i switch it on, it tells me operating system not found, some ppl told me to change d hard drive, my pc came wit a 750gb hard drive, wat should i do n where can i get original hard drive to buy?

go into ur system bios and check if u can perform diagnostics test on ur hard drive 2 determine its state... u dont assume ur hdd is bad unless u have fool proof

smothly: Oh what a beautiful pregnant bride,i wish them happy married life.

lol.. u nor go kill me pregnant bride indeed

its a known fact that polytechnic students outshine their counterparts in dia respective industries.. am not condemning anyone.. but if u tink u are better den y havent u come out with credible solutions 2 d problems in this country especially those that has 2 do wit ur field.. nonsense

As 4 me am proud 2 be on HND holder.. na baba God do am 4 me..

buoye1: ......Dis is correct bro.I attended Federal polytechnic Bauchi wch I had my diploma in Electrical/Electronics Engineering so I opted 4 a direct entry,it was then I knew d diffrnce btw a a Polytechnic& a University...there is dis course Engineering in society,it highlighted everything..an HND holder is a technician while a Btech holder is an Engineer pls dey r nt equivalent.......tnx

dem don put fear for ur body. u come run go direct entry..mtchewwwwwwww

kayusbrown: Ignorance smells all over your post. It is folks like you that continue to perpetuate this evil discrimination because of the fear that HND holders might outshine their degree holder counterparts if placed at same level.

It is only in Nigeria that the engineering degree holder assumes the title 'Engineer' is meant only for engineering University graduates. This explains why COREN is more concerned about titles at the expense of technological advancement of the nation. For your information, even the Engineering Craftmen are ENGINEERS at their own level if you know what engineering really mean.
The HND holders are not interested in titles. All they demand is justice. If what constitutes a bachelor's degree internationally is success in minimum of 120 credit hours of courses in higher institution of learning, why is Nigeria HND not accepted as equivalent to a bachelor's degree when an average HND holder must have completed successfuly courses not less than 140 credit hours(ND courses inclusive cos it's the pre-requisite to HND)?

abeg help me tell dat guy ooo..

double3: Young fellow,u can't expect to be trained as a technician n wanto end up answering an engineer,u should know better. In the field of engineering, we have the engineers, the technicians, the technologist, the craftmen, and the artisans. So u can't be trained to be a crafts man or technologist n come out tomorrow n wanto rub shoulders with an engineering degree holder; I don't think its done anywhere in the world(u can quote me on that)
Moreover before applying to go to a polytechnic, I think u should have been aware of th degree u would be given at th end of ur program, so please let's stop all these sentimental bullshit n play our roles according to our academic background. Or tomorrow u should not be surprised when a brick layer comes out n start making noise tht he can build houses while a civil engr. cannot do so, so therefore they should be allowed to answer th tile of an engr. (Lol)

Are u sre u went 2 school, cos if u did den u shud know d different certificates possessed by this piple u ve mentioned and the ones dat re comparable

Is there a proper use for one over the other, and in what scenarios? I just find this completely meaningless and trivial concept of programmer versus developer interesting. I’m odd that way. Any thoughts? How doyou like to be referred to, a programmer or a developer? What’s on your business card? Your resume? FYI, my job title has Programmer in it.

mekky316: Please someone should help me out with what possibly could be the cause and the possible exact solution to my acer 5535 series which has this fault; some keys on the keyboard are not functional when you tap them (this a recent development). Firstly, it started with the ''Delete key'' a long while now but i ignored it and alternatively used the second ''Delete key'' at the numeric key section of the keyboard. But today, now i found out that the ''Down Arrow key'', the ''Enter key'', the ''Backspace key'' are no more functional when tapped and who knows how many more keys have been affected so far. Please someone with full knowledge of its solution or who has had previous experience over this should help me out so i know how to go about this issue 'cos its so annoying and disgusting thanks!

d best u can do is 2 take ur laptop keyboard out n check if d connector tip is wearing out (ribbon cable)....if it is den u ve 2 cut it out n use a sharp razor 2 create new contacts..

myhobbies: why is that it didnt wrk on my Tecno N3 na?

Maleeq: The startup disk creator from ubuntu did it for me.

i 4 one never used dat.. instead i use a software called unetboot 2 create bootable verions of any linux os...just from d iso file.. no nid 2 format d device even if i had other tins inside..

Maleeq: yes i am. Should i bring the drive to you? Mess it up and I'd kidnap you!

i could help u but i guess ur present location is in lagos...lol... all d same did u accidentally delete d partitions or d software u are using 2 create d startup disk do dat 4 u??

ibnuusamah: What about in a case whereby the C partition has been formatted from within the system with mini partion tool, now the sys can not load windows, when i slot in windows 7 cd to instal it et stucked at the point of installing to partion C which is somehow not recognised. Now am unable to create any partition since the sys is not coming on.
What solution would you suggest tothis kind ofroblem? Aside using cd how can i also make my flash drive bootable yo directly install os from it.
Thanks in advance

i would like to know how u formatted d c drive.. u cant format a working drive (windows) y its on...can u give me a screen shot...i dont use flash 2 format although i have seen it working.. i have another method.. but just post a screen shot of d hard drive state..mayb i am not getting u clearly..or u can pm me mayb we could talk on fone....

routik: @ Topic
as a small business owner, i use small Mikrotik Router. i love Mikrotik and i have their entry level certification. the truth is that i don't have any flair /passion for Cisco because their products are expensive.
Mikrotik is cost effective and very efficient.

@Sky-walker
can you recommend any cost effective Cloud Computing Firm (kind of open source)?
i'll also like to know you better

i love mikrotik but cisco is more popular...wat do u ve 2 say abt this?cos i want to settle for one of dem fully..

[quote author=o.s horlabyC]Windows 7 ultimate[/quote]ok.. press windows button+ R = run
type compmgmt.msc and click ok.. a new window opens
select disk management on the left. depending on
1. if u have formatted ur system. u should see 1 or two partitions
2. if u havent formatted ur sytem u shud si 2 to three partitions == c drive(system, boot, active page file, primary) d(recovery) e(tools(hp laptops))

any of the above.. u would try and identify your c drive(system, boot, active page file, primary) .right click and click on shrink volume.. select the size and click on shrink..

Hello everyone, got 2 mails yesterday from NLNG as follows

Dear brightk

1.With Reference to your application early this year, we are pleased to inform you that you were shortlisted for the Trainee Operators position.Next stage in this recruitment exercise is an Ability Test.We are looking at week of 17th June 2013 for Testing.Further details with exact dates, time and venue will be communicated.

2.We are please to inform you that you have been shortlisted for our on-line recruitment test which will take place this month of June 2013.
The exact date and venue for the test will be communicated to you shortly.

Anyone with such mails i am a little bit nervous as i have never attended any interview before.. moreover what is ability test?

Dear Nairalanders

Please i have never attended job interviews and am a bit skeptical about the kind of questions especially during the test.I am due to pass out next week from service and i would appreciate it if anyone can give me clues on how these tests are conducted.i want to be prepared before hand.If i should get a call for interview sincerely speaking i don't have anything to write cos i hear its some how different from what we learnt in school... someone insisted i get gmat past questions. My discipline is Electrical/Electronic Engineering (Telecommunication option.

More also i dont know if i should relocate to the big cities (PH,LAGOS,ABUJA) or not.The reason is that most of the jobs locations are mostly in these locations. i currently leave in Delta State. I don't want to be on the road every time going for interview at least to save cost and time.
