Hardware & Software repairs in Skåne, Sweden?
· ☕ 2 min read · 🤖 Naresh Mehta

Recently my ASUS A6000VM laptop burned its charging circuit. I wanted some help to quickly fix and either replace the parts which were burned out or just the whole motherboard / mainboard. So I contacted a guy who kept it for 21 days and in the end returned the laptop to me saying the parts were not available! I was quitte surprised and asked him as to what he was doing and he was playing around with the transistors and other components on the main board. It would have been great to replace parts of the mainboard if that would be anywhere cheap. He asked for 1500 SEK and a new main board costs around 1200 SEK. So why not just go ahead and replace the main board instead. But somehow he didn’t quite understand it.

iPhone 3GS suffers from heating issues...
· ☕ 2 min read · 🤖 Naresh Mehta

The topic is hot from the press, “iPhone 3GS suffers from heating issues”. According to reports, the new hardware which is deemed twice as fast as the original one also consumes more power and thereby heats up the device! Now was that a secret that more powerful hardware will consume more power and will need a better heat dissipation system? Heat dissipation and thermal issues are something that every hardware manufacturer is concerned from time immemorial. Thats why the microprocessor vendors had to stop pursuing higher clock speeds and focus on multiple cores instead. Also Intel had to redesign its heat sink architecture to support for higher heat dissipation rates and better thermal management.

Michael Jackson MJ is dead!

I was flying to Helsinki from Copanhagen on the morning of Friday 26th June, 2009 and I read the scroll bar on BBC which gave the sad news. I could not believe it for a moment and thought it might be some other Jackson but sadly it was the MJ I knew. I have been hearing MJ since 1987 as far as I can remember. It was a great thing in the sense that I was in India and we didn’t have any medium except for the national TV and radio which rarely broadcast any international songs as such. My neighbor used to love break dancing and had a collection of MJ albums and thats where we listened and tried to dance. After I had access to internet, roughly by 1996-97, I was able to see his videos and watch his songs on MTV that finally began broadcasting in similar time frames.

Surprising News for Seals!
· ☕ 2 min read · 🤖 Naresh Mehta

The 2009 Canadian seal slaughter has officially ended, and we’re happy to tell you that this year, about three-fourths of the seals who were scheduled to be bludgeoned or shot to death during the annual war on seals were spared. More than 300,000 of these gentle creatures were scheduled to die during the blood bath on the ice, but more than 200,000 seals did not suffer the cruel fate that Canada had intended for them. They did not have to feel the pain of having their skull bashed in or feel what it’s like to have a hook stuck through their eye, cheek, or mouth—just so that their fur could be stolen for “fashion.”
