I don't have any special knowledge on this, but I would guess that was the plan initially, then some kind of issue cropped up and forced mgmt to make a choice between delaying the launch or having a...

Very true, but if you find RAM being sold with more or less the same specs as RAM on the list, it would stand to reason that it should work without issue. As opposed to just grabbing any set of RAM...

I think the average is ~2 weeks for an RMA, but there's obviously some variations depending on a number of factors. There are a few other factors as well, but if you want to send it in ahead of a...

The qualified vendor list is always a good place to start. It's not an exhaustive list, but you can use it to get an idea of what has been tested and then look for RAM with similar specs.

You haven't had a single problem that you're aware of. When I was slogging my way through some of the material needed for a certification, one of the sections was on ESD. What happens when you damage...

Someone went and apparently deleted the post down in the Xonar forum after I posted. So lucky for them that I have a copy of the message, otherwise I'd be obligated to hunt them down and hurt them....

Yeah, that's a much better example. And since you list your location as Ohio, that puts you firmly within my ability to influence things. In this case it means I was able to get approval to waive all...

Turning off the paging file would be a VERY bad idea. As I say: It's all fun and games until you find yourself in a thrashing situation. Superfetch is also something you would want to leave enabled....

The first issue makes me think that you have a sticky power button. As you say, a minor issue grand scheme of things, but certainly annoying. The second part of the first issue is a little odd, and...

It has to be asked, so put the pitchfork and torch down. :D

1: You've made sure the volume isn't muted
and
2: You've made sure the volume is sufficiently high that you would be able to hear...

Interesting. Not really sure what that would be exactly, but it sounds like it must be some kind of display panel failure. You sure you can't get it to show up in a photo taken with a cell phone or...

Any chance you could post a photo?

Well, the important part is that it was just a minor oversight that could be fixed quickly and easily, and now you have a fully functional laptop. Enjoy.

BTW, if anyone has any case numbers from poor experiences with the call center, feel free to send them to me via email. If you want to include your perspective on the interaction with the call...

Since batteries are consumables, they get handled separately warranty wise. It sounds like it's a bad battery, but the only real way to test is to get another battery and see if the symptoms can be...

Just kind of quick, I was really just meaning that Apple has their APP, which can be purchased any time during the IW of the unit. You can literally walk into some stores, and buy the little APP...

I know it's kind of an old thread, but I'll just give the little teaser that Friday afternoon I got a chance to play with a Taichi unit for a few minutes. Don't remember which one it was, as it was...

True, I shamelessly stole this from a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, but I've taken to saying that before the crack of noon my cognitive abilities aren't too far above "fire bad, tree pretty." :D

Unfortunately, this is most likely to be a hardware issue. You should get at least some kind of backlight when the unit first boots, before the BIOS kicks in and switches it off. If you're not...

Sounds like you've got a bad outlet, or possibly circuit since it only seems to happen in specific locations. You should probably get someone in to look at that, as it could be a fire hazard.

I was thinking something a little different. Like you have Products A and A1. Product A is cheaper, but has your standard support, product A1 costs significantly more but you get a number that goes...

I actually have a marketing degree (double major) and so that part of my mind immediately went to the idea of specifically marketing a product with a higher level of support. There are a few issues...

Wow... Now I'm confused, because I'm not sure if I should be commending you on your incredible dedication to recycling, or kind of shake my head in a sort of disappointed way. I suppose you have to...

Time to let it go speedy. There's making an honest mistake in taking something I said the wrong way -- I'm used to it, people either tend to get my dry sardonic sense of humor pretty quickly or...

Honestly, I'd tell your friend he needs to find a new hobby, but then if he keeps persisting, ask him who he's really trying to convince: you or himself.

I used to repair Apple laptops (and...
