FrostyButter: Yh, I am in Nigeria, and yh I get my things delivered. Did you ask for your refund? They attend to refunds well.
Depends on the seller though. Some things dont come to Nigeria, and quite frankly , I've actually heard of people that have has similar complaints as you do, but they got their refunds .
I never got refunded despite following up for a long time. I think the seller in my case was a scam....lol Anyways...its almost 5yrs already. Man don move on. But I will try ordering something again soon. Thanks.
Do you get your items delivered in 9ja. If yes, how do you go about that.
I dey fear to transact Amazon since after I ordered spare battery for my then laptop Dell N4050 sometime in 2015 and never got it. Maybe its the seller sha.
FrostyButter: It's going to be difficult explaining via text , so it's better to watch the videos on YouTube.
The only thing you would have to buy us a thermal paste. It's about 3k or so on jumia, but I don't really know much about those thermal pastes , I advice you order kyronaut thermal paste on Amazon.
It's a very very easy process, but not to get mixed up, just watch videos on YouTube, preferably a YouTube page called OwnOrDisOwn.
What the process entails :
Undervolting : A very safe menthod of limiting the amount of voltage going into the system ( note , it's very safe) using a software , preferably msi after burner , hence reducing the amount of heat generated .
Repasting: just raising your heat sink, cleaning off the old past on the GPU and CPU and applying new past. Place the heat sink back and screw your laptop back.
You get excellent cooling and save your hardware some more years.
FrostyButter: Lmao...never read something so wrong in my entire time on nairaland.
True, their airflow design is alright , but Alienwares have one if the worst heating problems , infact maybe top 3 worst thermals . It's just this their flagship area 51 that's okay in thermals.
Why is this ? They use very low quality thermal pastes . And there is a good explanation for that , if you care I can give a good explanation. But in terms of thermals , they have been doing a terrible job. Imagine buying a 2000$ laptops and having to unvervolt and repaste. Out of the box, CPU clocking high 80s and 90 degrees. Worse, t M15 hitting a 100 degrees .
OP sorry for derailing your thread. It's also well to note that once you undervolt and repaste , you get the very best performance on the Alienware.
How do one undervolt and repaste? I have an Alienware 15R4
We should be careful during this time of the year. At all cost, avoid late night movement if you want to survive. Also be conscious of your surroundings. Don't be too carried away pressing phones like a lot of people do.

So one of the triggers I ordered from Amazon has been delivered. It feels really firm in hand. Makes sense. The version I got came with a fan at the rear to cool your phone while gaming. It also servers as a power bank (2000mAh) so you can connect your USB cable in to charge your phone. I just got it so will give updates in a few days time.
All I did was to move my aim and shoot buttons up beneath those two triggers...and you're done.

Guys, which year's Ford Escape do you recommend? I love the sturdy looks of the first gen though...but won't mind the 2nd gen if that's more recommended. As for the 3rd gen....nah! I hate the looks coupled with the various faults I have read come with them.
Well, if its me I'll record so to have evidence but I won't see anything. The way I'd do it...I will be recording and ignoring you at the same time. Only when I feel my life is threatened then will I verbally and physically react.[b][/b]
Joel3: If only you knew what I went through with my first car in 2008; mistake of a life time, it put me in great pain and losses. Let me tell this story. I had a Passat 2.0 in the year 2008.
I went through air with the engine and gear box, when I intended to procure a new engine but could not find the engine in the Nigerian market not even in Lagos, as the car was not popular then, so I was advised by the engine seller to buy another engine (Audi A4) for conversion. He told me it would work and will be even cheaper that the original engine. He said he would recommend one of his mechanics to do it for me.
One of my friends said, “no, it’s better for us to use our mechanic in a situation like this, someone we know.” He told me, “this ibo man can do some tricks on us all the way just to sell market”, so we contacted the mechanic we knew. The useless mechanic, after examining the engine, told me that the engine would work in the Passat 2.0.
I paid for the engine and we picked it from the mechanic workshop. During that process, I was buying one thing after the other. I was running up and down all over the place, forces to buy so many things, all costing thousands and thousands.
That is when I started hearing of deferent names in motor engines. The painful part was that the money was not chicken change for me - it cost me hard earned money. My main reason for fixing the car was to sell it ASAP but it then turned out to be worthless.
So, let continue. After the mechanic finally sat the engine after spending several days and emptying my pocket, he then ‘discovered’ that there was a wire cable that comes out from the brain box which connects to the engine and opens the injector to pump fuel and there was nowhere to fix that on the new engine. After about 99% completion! I was like “wow!” - I was almost mad at that point. I asked the mechanic “what is the way out?” He said there is nothing he could do.
Then we had to discuss what to do. Someone came up with an idea to put in a carburetor at this point. I was completely tired of the car my mind at that point was to abandon the car in the mechanic workshop, but some other people advised and encouraged me to convert to a carburetor engine, saying they are even better than injector engines. I never wanted a carburetor engine because they are noisy, but there was no other choice for me at that time.
So I decide to do that. At that stage I had been forced to spend money I didn’t budget for at all. I was even afraid to continue - my leg was shaking while spending but I used bottles of beer to console myself..
To cute the story short, I bought the carburetor and the mechanic cute the injector pipes and gave it to the guy to install the carburetor into it. During this process I was still made to buy many different things just to seat the carburetor. I bought a new battery and they asked me to buy a new brain box to construct this. I was charging batteries every day, even renting more. Whenever the motor refused to start, it killed batteries very quickly.
Later, they finished with the carburetor construction and the motor indeed started, but with some noise. The mechanic said the engine was noisy because it was newly fixed, but after some time, it would be normal. However, when the mechanic sat the carburetor and everything in the engine, the bonnet could not be locked anymore . There wasn’t even any space for such act since the motor was not designed for carburetor. At this news I almost fainted because I had spent hundreds of thousands for all this nonsense.
I left the car there to face other things, but my mind couldn’t get away from that scene because it was so painful, and heartbreaking for me. Then one of my friends contacted another ‘good’ mechanic. I used the word “good” because he said the guy is good and the best Volkswagen mechanic he has known. He explained everything to the mechanic and asked, “what is the way out?” The mechanic suggested that we should reinstall the former engine and that we should ‘rise’ the engine. He said we would have to manage it until we found the right engine and the money was available for it.
When me friend contacted me and told me what his mechanic said, I said to him “what?? Spending more money on that blood sucking car? Is it the engine we have thrown and abandoned?” I told him I was not ready for this. “As you can see, I am just trying forget about that car for good, and here you are coming up with this again?”
He then begged me to try what he just told me. He said that he believed in that mechanic. I said, “the motor currently is with the other mechanic, so what do we do?” He said both of them should fix it. I then said, “ok. How much it gone cost me to ‘rise’ this engine? They did the calculations, and it was a few thousands of naira. So I gave him the money and said him, “I am counting on you. I want to hear on the phone that the car is working and can be driven.
However, at this time I contacted the man who sold the engine to me to explain the whole thing. The man said that my friend’s mechanic was not a good mechanic. He first advised that we use his mechanic ( bla bla and all that) I told him that will return back the engine - that we are not using it anymore - though the mechanic had tampered with so many things in the engine (cutting the injector pipes and all that,) He then said he had to take a look at the engine before he could say anything.
Now back to the rising issue, my phone kept ringing with requests for money to pay for more things. I said “what about the statistics you guys gave me earlier?” They said the extra just to buy some minor things which were not on that list. I said “okay here is money.”
After everything, the car was moving like something with no power and jacking when moving. It would stop and overheat within 5 minutes of driving. At this time the mechanic charged me 45,000 naira for all this rubbish. He said he had been working on my car for almost 2 weeks now, and had not done any other work. I said, “but you can see the condition of this car at present, that there has been no improvement.” He said that’s no business of his, as he had “repaired” my car.
I almost got some men to beat him up. Some of my guys wanted to even put this guy on their boot and take him away, I just had to beg and make peace, because I saw everything as my fault and my eyes were now wide open. I paid the mechanic 25,000 naira and took the car away.
My only option was to sell this car. The question was, “who with his right senses would buy this car?” Some guys advised me to go and park this car, and just patiently wait until whenever the engine was available. Then I could fix it, complete with a jack box. I said, “no I can’t keep this car any more. The only way is to sell it to car “busher” to dismantle it for spare parts. The Igbo men there priced it too cheap, so I eventually sold it to back to the same man who I bough the engine from, for very little money.
That was the end of my baby passat 2.0 experience.
Please what is your definition of cutting long story short?
and what is cute doing there...it is "cut" not "cute"
Well, I had similar experience with my first car two years ago. It was a V4 Hyundai Sonata '08. It was actually my fault from the on-set. Cos I was looking for a cheap car so this had a bad engine (smoking). I asked my mech how much the engine I was heard 150k. I also made enquiries with other people Ooo and car engine sellers....so buying the car was a fair deal for me. Not until I bought it finish and when it was time to fix I got to know that the engine for my model was 350k. Hahahahahha I just tried to work on it and it even became worse. At last I sold it for half of what I bought it after all the money spent to bring it back to a non-smoking level. Since then...abeg I also made a mistake on my second car but it wasn't as bad as the first....engine was good na just say the fuel consumption fit give person heart attack.....lol I still have the car sha cos I love it. My third car was a '02 Accent and its was great owning it. I have given it away now. Planning to get my 4th sometime next year. I have a few saloons and SUVs in mind. From Benz C320 to Ford escape. Still doing my research. So what car do you use now.
