lay your card on an A4 Paper, or A3, I think an A4 paper will have atlest 12 card. go to a DI printer and print. A4 using card paper is not more than N40 par page.
All the card should cost you nothing more than 2k. after printin, laminate and then cut to pieces or shape.

Just call if you want more info. am not always online thanks.

I will definitely call you. Thanks a million times..

otitokoroleti:
if u want it full color, 5k will be enough to complete it. btw, if you mean 50copies it aint worth it at all because its like waste of time & resources.

Please elucidate further. How many copies makes sense and how much will it cost. Also, I want colored printing. Thank you.

Alao, I want it to be about 100, 50 for me and 50 for my partner. However if there is a better price for higher number, say 200, I'll have about 150 while my partner will have 50 copies.

Dear Nairalanders,

I just designed these cards from the yesternight to this morning and I wish to get information on how much it will cost me to print about 50/50 of both cards. I'm kind of restricted by funds and that was the reason I couldn't get a professional design the card for me. Do kindly ignore the much details (products and services listed on the card), intention was to not only give out contacts but to also market my products and services. Also, please don't bash my work for it's my first and when my business begins to move fine, these things will be done by professionals (by then, I'll have the funds for that).

Do also help me include information on people offering cheap printing services I can use. Thank you.

Lalasticlala, Seun, kindly help a Nairalander here. Thank you.

Don't give up though.

Rather crude but consider volunteering at a shop near you, mechanic, plumbing, welding, etc

It's even worth paying them.

Learn welding, start creating African themed stuff, open up a site - cheap, you never can tell.

I already purchased my equipment. I'm presently doing my thing from home, since I don't have the financial means to establish a workshop. My compound at Satellite Town, is my workshop for now. Over there, I make stuffs like doors, gates, burglar proof, etc, for sale while I took up an apprenticeship job at a depot closeby in order to gather steel structural fabrication and pipeline welding skills. I'm always pretty much willing to learn whenever I have someone teaching me but doing it on my own seems kinda difficult since I tend to get carried away at times.

EgunMogaji:
DIY stands for Do It Yourself.

I guess I'm a bit more seasoned a DIYer because I do automobile, home woodworking, bricklaying, welding, building, roofing, plumbing.

I will share my future DIY plans and also hope to learn from other DIY as I'm especially interested to see how things are done in Nigeria.

Suppliers please come in and offer suggestions and sale item as appropriate.

I've always had this desire to learn as much as I can but it is quite difficult. I admire your likes. Thumbs up sir.

spyder880:
Of course, later in the evening as I am in motion now.

OK. Thank you.

spyder880:
So sorry about the private message as it does not deliver to my mail. I am always available whenever you need me Sir.

Can I chat you up on whatsapp? Thank you sir..

spyder880:
Issue resolved sister, I will correct it in my next update

Spyder880, I must say, I'm a big fan of yours. I've always been, even though I've not been able to reach you privately (I sent you a private message in the past but didn't get a reply). Wish you can give me audience one of these days.

This is sad! Pretty sad..

Second time this is making FP

VITALYSTA:
my dear I haven't used it b4. maybe u should ask ur dealer.

OK! Thanks a lot boss..

VITALYSTA:
sth is wrong with the charger if it fluctuates current. please do not plug it in our PC again, because u might need Fire Service to put-out the outcome.
try and get another charger with the same DC range and report back like u said.

Got another charger and it's charging my laptop now. Is inverter power by any means bad for laptop charging? I asked because I've used that charge for years only for it to get bad on 1 and half month of use on inverter..

BTW, a big thanks to you and shawlxAk for your help. God bless..

VITALYSTA:
does the voltage fluctuate?
is goes up and comes down unstoppable?
meanwhile try another charger of ur prescribed pc voltage.

Yes, the voltage is fluctuating, which surprises (thought it was only alternating current that fluctuates). Couldn't find another charger so I will go to computer village to look for it, but on the condition that it charges my laptop before I buy it. If it doesn't charge then I go to an Engineer to help me fix it.

Thank you so much sir.

shawlxAk:
The charger might be working, but it might not be delivering the correct voltage. So, you can start by borrowing a similar adapter from someone and testing the system with it.

If it doesn't power on still, then find a way to charge your battery or borrow a similar one and then test it on your computer. Let me know your findings.

I'll try look for one, tho it'll be quite difficult since I use HP 620 (old stuff). When I get one I'll give you info. Will also be going to computer village if I can't get any here in my area. So when I'm there, I'd ask to have the laptop tested with another charger, if it doesn't work then I go for repair..

I'll also try the option of using another ba3 because my ba3 has been having issues for sometimes now. Doesn't last any longer but adaptor should at least power the laptop without the ba3 (if ba3 was the only issue).

Will keep you updated. Thanks

VITALYSTA:
what's ur PC DC rating?

Voltage of 18.5 but I tested the charger with a voltmeter and it gives me voltages between 16.0-17.9v. Is the actual voltage supposed to be lower than the charger rating?


Thanks..

VITALYSTA:
u need to see an EXPERIENCED engineer to check on ur board.
anyway, when last did u use d PC b4 this morning?

I used it till 10pm yesterday..

shawlxAk:
What error message are you getting when you try to transfer data from other devices?

sameolg616:

It's requesting a Logon password, which was probably set by the previous owner.

Hello Sir, good morning..

I woke up this morning put on my laptop. It turned on but while trying to charge it, it wouldn't charge. Now the ba3 is flat but it won't still charge. I tested the charger with a voltmeter and it was working, I removed the laptop ba3 and plugged directly, the ba3 signal showed white light (which usually displayed when the ba3 is almost fully charged), but wouldn't turn on. This still indicates that the charger is working but system is not charging.

What should I do to fix this problem? Thank you in advance..

I believe most of these criminals campaigned and voted for change. Same people must have been praising the APC's so called fight against corruption. But look at the evil perpratrated by them. The change we seek cannot be delivered by a Messianic figure but we Nigerians. Let's stop deceiving ourselves, change our evil ways and maybe, just maybe, we will start seeing positive changes.

chris81964:
I will tell you who I buy.You will have to decide for yourself what works for you. The minimum I seek is a 2 year warranty on equipment. The high end give you 5 years and some give you the option of extending that to 10 years.
1. Schneider Electric
2. SMA
3. Victron

Magnum and Outback are also some awesome brands. You have to decide what works for you in the market you are in. I have enclosed a picture of an Outback that I serviced in Brooklyn NY.

OK, thanks

chris81964:
Nothing to be discouraged about. Buy in bits till you assemble what you need. You waited this long what is the hurry? I install solar power for a living. We have an office in Lagos. Our corporate office is in Sparta NJ USA.
Take your time. A good 200 AH battery retails for over N65000. Think about what that means relative to the purchase you made. 100 W panels retail for over N20000. When I started my business I purchased stuff from a factory in China. I was excited that they were giving me an opportunity to be an OEM. Within three months everything we installed failed. I had to replace each one at cost. The panels, the batteries and the inverters were junk. Inverters that failed once you connected a generator to them, panels that produced substantially less than the rated capacity. So what I saved initially was wiped out in three months.
Now I only buy name brands. Yes they cost more but I have less stress.

Hmmm.. So what are the brands you're suggesting are the best? Please I need more info about (brand names) the best set of solar brands out there.. Thank you.

zeestone99:
Of course u can, tell ur installer to instal it such a way u can use gen or nepa to charge ur batteries

Thanks a lot. I was already told that it can be connected as such plus the inverter I bought has plug for that purpose.

chris81964:
Thank you and amen.When in doubt I use Google. Look up the specs of the inverter you purchased online. See if it has an ATS, a built in AC charger, or ups function. That will help you determine how it will be installed. The price you are getting is so low. So I suspect you might be getting a very stripped down piece of equipment.
A battery, 3 panels and an Inverter for N135k. My inverter's alone cost three times as much. And you know you might think you are saving money now and 4 or 5 months down the road it might not look like that

What was/is the capacity of the inverter you purchased?
You know how Alaba stuffs go na.
The man gave me two options, one cheaper without guarantee while this one a bit more expensive with 6months guarantee (only). I had to try my luck with that of 6months guarantee since he was even sincere enough to make it a bit clear to me. Others might have sold the complete junk package at a higher price tho.
Are you based in Nigeria?
Feeling bit discouraged tho.

chris81964:
That question will be best posed to the seller of the equipment.

He told me it will but you know how dealers always use only positive words when marketing their products.. All the same, I'll give it a shot so I begin sleeping at night.

Thanks a lot once more sir!
More power to your elbow and more chicken in your soup!

Some part of Lagos state are waterlogged and you don't need rain to flood it at times. In my area at Ijegun, waterside, whenever the ocean is overflowing, we always experience flooding which will last for about 1-2 hours twice a day (morning and evening). This usually happens during April and November/December periods..

Is might actually be an effect of the Eko Atlantic City Project. Because I believe huge filling was done on that place in order to start that project. When the water sees no where to rest, it will overflow to other places. I might be wrong tho.

Xmen149:
subtracting some houres(1.5) from the the charging hours of the sun (6),..on-grid means charging with both solar and NEPA..

OK, thank you.
