bassdow: what most of our phone repairers have is Blower and soldering iron. Some no even get screw drivers of their own That's the most they've got. Hot air gun and soldering iron with very little understanding how phone works. That's why small thing they'll tell you the "motherboard is bad and needs replacement". |

kristien4: imagine changing a while board for 100k, when u can just detect the wrong capacitor/resistor and change for less than 5k. Nigerian technicians are lazy. Change panel, change board, whereas na one small component inside the board them suppose change. That's wasteful. Most tech can keep your inverter for weeks "troubleshooting". If I see the option of swapping out that board I'll take it. We have a lot of inexperienced people claiming to be repair tech who do "trial and error" with your inverter. This same thing is applicable to phone and laptop/PC repair people. I watch one dude that repairs phone on YouTube and I just know 80%, or more, of our repair technicians are just simply amateurs who has no idea on how a phone works. Because this dude can change super tiny components (IC) and have got crazy tools to detect faults and have crazy knowledge of how the phone motherboard works. Tools I'm sure most of repair tech don't even know of their existence! |

Enyinne: I want to buy few things from AliExpress, but the shipping fee being applied is way more than the cost of item .How do I get free shipping like y'all do here and secondly how do I use speedaf to receive in Nigeria ?
Kindly assist me ,my first time trying to ship directly from AliExpress to Nigeria, I usually ship to China or USA then ship from there to Nigeria. The Shipping cost now is much so I need to know how to ship from AliExpress to Nigeria directly. Thank you Look for same product under CHOICE so AliExpress can do free shipping once it's up to $10. Hard now to see products NOT UNDER CHOICE have free shipping. Most CHOICE shipping is done by Speedaf. |

bassdow: A lot of them do this. As in, I see them a lot of times.
They wash and grade according to neatness, with fresh new stickers ready to be applied. Let's not talk of the fact a lot of batteries , charge controllers, inverters, drilling machines, etc are made specifically on request of Nigerian individuals who then brings them into the country as IMPORTs to be sold as foreign brands.
Make I share small expo : If your charge controller / inverter / etc; shares parts with other brands, often times they fall into such category. Cutting corners/cheating others for profit is now termed "smartness" in Nigeria. God dey. |

GreaterFuture: I've been wondering the different quotes ... And thinking why?? In what world..., in what world is it now known that this happens? It is 'standard'. A Nigerian government institution being very corrupt and thieving, it's standard. You can go to the post office to make an enquiry |

Drgreatone: Lolz @keep mute. Bought through him and not from him. He didn't have it in store. They were longi panels and when i entered the bar code on the longi site, came out as 360w panels Some of the sellers at the market do this. At least you were experienced enough to cross check this, and also kudos for his quick refund, he could also be a victim too. |

GreaterFuture: Slow shipping, is one. Sometimes misdirection of goods... Happens well well. A package may be in Nigeria already long after customs and they will still be problems just within Nipost to delivering to you or whatever issues that that may arise at that moment all within NIPOST.
Yes, Customs steal, well wel, but NIPOST itself also Steals! It has stopped now obviously. The 7/10 rating you are giving them is based on recent years, the rejuvenation and change in the last 5, to 7, 8 Years. And/Or you being Lucky.
Go and check & research on the situation of NIPOST since the 90s... we have been using NIPOST since the late 90s early to mid 2000s, there are more than enough stories. Even from the time of this new rebirth, there are more than enough stories. Must've been lucky as I've been actively dealing with them since 2014. More than 400 packages since then before Speedaf came into the game.

GreaterFuture: They've stolen mine, Plenty times. And they have stolen that of many people I know, many times. This was/is a common something. Still happened to me about 4 years ago. Small items even, very much smaller items.
I will check my bookmarks on twitter now and share like three tweets/ thread there I saved. Long long discussions on the behaviour & history of NIPOST, from times back to recent times. This very common knowledge. Only got one issue of theft via post office. But I doubt it was the post office people, may likely be customs. Got a refund from AliExpress though. If I'm to rate NIPOST that's a 7/10. The only thing I find annoying is the slow shipping, when compared with Speedaf. Also their sometimes slow rate of updating tracking. Package I picked last week is still showing in tracking as if goods is yet to be picked. |

bassdow: That's why they say - Your mileage could vary abi na how dem dey take talk am. Another is frequency of use Fan still in use till tomorrow. Daily use sef. Retired the mist fan feature use. Used that feature for like 3 years before i got over it. I often use it as a drier...run it overnight with a wet sneaker and it's dry the next morning. The motor on that fan is out of the world. Crazy thing I've gone looking for that model and its nowhere to be found. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 7:26pm On Oct 14, 2024 |
Trippledots: Mist fans increases humidity, so it's best suited for low humidity areas or outdoors. If used indoors a lot, mould can start growing everywhere No longer use the mist function. It was in my early days of renewable when we are looking for low power cooling. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 4:19pm On Oct 14, 2024 |
bassdow: of course, any rechargeAble fan is low-power irrespective of the brand name. where you would encounter issues is battery runtime (that's how long the battery lasts per charge) BUT that's only if you plan on relying on it's in-Built battery.
If you not planning on relying on it's built-in battery, would suggest buying any USED but working rechargeAble Fan, and use it on Solar.
You need not invest much on the solar part (that's if you don't already use Solar). Something as small as 100AH battery and a single Solar panel with cheapest charge Controller would over Serve you.
If you already running Solar in said location, it becomes way easier.
Another is, except you know what you doing, please avoid Mist Fans (those that spray water to further cool the environment). My major reason be say dem dey quick spoil and I'm not just frugal but always does my best at ensuring reliability in things I use. My Mist Fan is now 6 years. Battery is long dead. Brand is Swan  Crazy thing, every thing still works including the mist feature, which I hardly use, as I've upgraded to AC. |

Dam5reey1: Where i buy cables they are sold in meter cut according to what length you want.
How do you buy yours? In Rolls? Or Drums? I guess the question is the slightly less than an inch peel you did on the cable end to put on the ferrule. Any serious seller wouldn't have issue on such little peel. Some will even allow you cut the cable to ascertain if it's true copper or just paint. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 4:40am On Oct 12, 2024 |

Ayomipoe: Hello Snr Men and Women, I have a dilemma. I have a small 1.5KWh System and a 1kva hybrid SMS 12v inverter rated for a max pv of 600w. However, I do not have any solar panels because my landlord has refused to grant permission. My question is, has anyone tried placing panels on the ground and what was the outcome of the experience?
I was looking at going for foldable solar panels from EcoFlow, but looking at the cost comparison, a 550w Jinko panel costs far less than 160w Ecoflow.
Thank you! Try using it as a window awning design

606thearena: Hey guys pls I need advise on how to get a trusted dealer for solar kits in Lagos or Benin . I want one luminous batters tubular 220ah or any good Batery brand . Felicity 2.5kva inverter 250 watts Canadian panel . 4 Felicity charge controller 60amps Wires 6mm Since you want one tubular battery, I don't think you'll use a 2.5kva inverter, that size will ultimately require you use more batteries to make sense for required capacity (2.5kva) that you need. What I'll suggest is to get a 24v system, instead of the 12v system you have in mind, and change the batteries to lithium batteries, there are cheaper alternative in the same price range, like the proposed tubular batteries, such as those lithium 12v batteries that you can series made by Taico and PowMr sold locally in Nigeria |
