I bought Microsoft surface pro 1796 from abalot aka Hammy98 on January 28th, I initially told him from my estimated use 100 to 27% that the laptop can give at best 3-4hrs battery and not the 8hrs he advertised. He kept giving me excuses and telling me all sorts of stuff ..I let it slide since light isn't really a problem from my side. Ten days after purchase the laptop got to 17% for the first time and shut down instantly and wouldn't come on until I plug it in and it continues charging from 17%, I told him about this he started on about bios setting and all that , I told him I'm not a computer illiterate there's no way bios is causing this...and what settings anyway? He just kept repeating himself

I remember telling him that I searched on forums and this problem will only get worse with time. He kept searching forums and supposedly contacting people to fix the problem. Few days later it turned off at 27 and then the next time 37, 47 and now these days it's anywhere from 29-47. Abalot all this while was supposedly contacting people and Microsoft...also sending me links to try solutions which all failed. Alas I told him this can't be solved so he has to replace my unit or the battery, he said ah the battery is like 100k o I then found a plug that can get it for 75k and told him..this guy again turned against me and started saying the battery is not up to 75k...ok that's not really my business, fix my laptop nah I can't be left with a defective unit. Nowadays he has just stopped picking my calls and even after involving wese who was the escrow between us, this guy still doesn't take my calls and only replies the group when he feels like so I have decided to call him out today. I have waited long enough. Since January 28th. He don stall me till now and has started calling me a liar. The battery just now went from 100 to 31% in 1hr 20mins and turned off instantly again. I have since asked him if this laptop was opened or battery replaced which is sensible considering there's a bubble around the part the screen normally would be raised from if such a change occurs and he said no. 8hours battery life indeed. Na this liar he d call me d vex me , it's my fault for giving him a chance to fix the issue and handling this calmly thinking he's a good person.

A Starlink kit is not something you just wake up and return the next day, you f**king liar. You have to first request a return, and then await a mail with stuff you need to print out and attach to your box.

Low rpm at operating temperature..when I switched on a.c..rpm goes to 200rpm..

PapaDapper:
Would be most grateful to be pointed in this "rewire's" direction. The frustrating thing about a parasitic drain is that most of the time it's something so minuscule and random. Just needs an experienced person on detail. I am optimistic of respite, especially as I've resolved to fix rather than manage even though I can...

PapaDapper:
I bought a 2013 RAV4 in November 2022 that seems to have come with a few spiritual problems.

The seller assured me that it was non-accidented. Unfortunately, network was slow so I couldn't run a VIN check at that moment and I had inspected and test-driven the car, it seemed like a sweet deal so I paid.

The only issue observed was Hazard Light wasn't working although the "trafficators" were fine. Seemed negligible.

After taking full ownership, to rectify the Hazard Light issue, the hazard and clock switch was changed. That didn't work. BCM was changed. That too didn't work. Finally, the Instrument Cluster was changed alongside the hazard. (New instrument cluster wasn't reading MPG. Currently on last drive, wasn't reading speedometer, so I think they brought a slightly incompatible one and needs replacement)

Next observation was the battery draining after about 2 - 3 days of not starting the car. Multiple people have tried to trace the parasitic draw. Relays have been changed. BCM was changed and that increased staying power to 4 - 5 days. Different new batteries have been tried, all drained, while the battery that came with the car didn't drain in other cars.

Of course, I found out that the car was accidented. Passenger side fender and windscreen impacted. Nothing critical, but airbags deployed. I believe the steering wheel and dash airbag was successfully replaced.

I have researched a lot on this and feel some possible causes of the drain are:
- airbag/crash history
- faulty central lock
- faulty boot lock (common in similar cases)
- alternator diode

Please can our in-house seniors lend some thought towards a permanent diagnosis and fix? I am yet to register the car just in case there is a fight to be had with the seller. Car is in Ejigbo. Thanks.

Resolved, thanks

Good morning House.
Please I have an issue here that I'll appreciate your help in resolving.

So on Dec 24th I made a request for a brand new sealed iPhone 13 Pro FU 128GB on a WhatsApp group to which @Abrahym replied was available for 650k.
I bargained for 640k and due to some delay on my end item was paid for on the 28th of Dec and subsequently sent to Abuja on the same day.
Item was received by me on the 29th. I had checked the imei once it arrived to be sure it was Unlocked, and everything was good except for the fact that it was activated which at the time I honestly had no idea what it implied. I usually don't sell iPhones since I don't know much about that market, hence why my requests are usually for a new sealed item to avoid stories.

I delivered the device to the client that same day.
However she messaged me Jan 6th, complaining battery was draining too fast and phone overheats sometimes. She hesitated on reaching out as she assumed the battery drain was perhaps software related since she just moved her files and data from her previous iPhone and she read online that may cause battery drain in the immediate period. However as it persisted she reached out to her brother who told her it was probably cuz the phone was a renewed device since it came activated.
For that reason I reached out to Kreamie to ask what could be wrong and what a brand new sealed, activated iPhone meant. I was told that connotes it had been unsealed for whatever reason (check unlock status, etc etc) and then resealed. He also advised the battery drain could be the iOS 16 but the drain shouldn't be that bad.
I reached out to Abrahym the following day about the issue and he claimed it was an 'opened to confirm' item which was then resealed, a fact he didn't mention prior, which clearly would have been a deal breaker for me cuz I know how uneasy my client can be. He said the battery drain and overheating issue was a common thing with iOS 16 and client should change charger.
I tried convincing the client that there was no issue with the phone and also gave her my iPad charger to test it out but she insisted the issue persisted. Problem was client kept comparing her phone with her sister's (also purchased from me) and noted her battery drain was significant... Plus the fact that she had been convinced it could be a renewed device as her brother claimed (whether right or wrong), probably created a cognitive bias and she decided she wouldn't be keeping the phone be it a software issue or otherwise unless it was a new unactivated device which would keep her mind at ease, for fear it may develop additional issues in the future.

I informed Abrahym as such, told him I didn't mind incurring some loss on my end, since there's no excuse for ignorance, as long as we come to an understanding and resolve the issue ASAP. But there was no progressive response from him until I messaged him again on Monday 12th, advising that he sells the device, since he's certain there's no issue with it, to which he responded that I send down to Lagos.
I asked for contact of receiver so I can give the dispatch and send without issues but Abrahym has not responded since.
He's failed to reply messages or return my calls, necessitating that I escalate the issue here for your unbiased thoughts and inputs.

Kindly note that client has returned the device to me and I've tested the device myself against an iPhone 13, browsing Instagram with LTE. The drain wasn't too significantly different, her 13 pro drained 5% more after 2hrs of IG...h/ever the 13 I tested against had a BH of 90% if I remember correctly.
I am also of the opinion that the iPhone probably doesn't have an issue.
However the PROBLEM here is client is not having any of it since she is made up her mind, quite understandably, that the phone is not a new device and she didn't spend her savings to buy something that'll keep her anxious.
If this was a brand new sealed device as requested I wouldn't have involved abrahym at all but that is not the case here as he'd omitted such vital info from our dealing.

I'd appreciate it if the house could proffer a solution to this issue as client has been on my neck for a refund.

Thank you.
