Maxent 42" Plasma fix

My cousin wanted me to look at his 42" Plasma tv but I told him I never looked at one before buy I would give it a try. He said they were watching it and heard a loud pop and nothing. My first instinct was bad power supply. Upon opening it up, I looked everywhere and didn't see anything burnt up. The only thing I found was a fuse blown in the power supply, replaced it and it would come on for a few sec. then go off turning the light orange and clicking a couple of times. Hit the power again then the light is green but no clicking or anything. I looked through forums and blogs and they said to replace the YSUS board. I never tried fixing them before so I went with what I read and got the board and nothing. It still did the same shit. I got ahold of the ebay seller, who was awesome enough to let me return the board and I paid a little extra for a power supply since it cost more then the YSUS board. I got the power supply in and took off the old one to find a black spot on the casing and 2 or 3 diodes that litterally exploded on the back of the board. I put the board in and connected all the wires and it came on perfectly. Not bad for never working on a plasma tv before.

Xbox live

I love playing xbox live. I have been playing it since 2003. It all started with Return to Castle Wolfenstein, then Rainbow Six 3. I have always ran a 5.1ch surround sound when I play which works great on the Rainbow six games and Call of Duty 4. I am not a big Halo fan at all, but I make the most of it. My weapon of choice is melee. My COD4 K/D is 2.23 with 80,000+ kills. I was also ranked #1 in the world on the True Skill ranking for deathmatch on GTA4 for about a day and a half. I have a lot of cool things that I have done but I am kind of tired so I will post some more info later

My best phone ever

My best phone ever was a Nokia 6620.. . ..what's yours??

05 July 2008

What's your best ever Nokia S60 handset?

The best phone everWhen I am talking about "Best Phone" I am not just talking about the features, I am also talking about durability, battery life, ease of use and so on.

For me, mine is the Nokia 6620 which I used for over 3 years (pretty much when they came out in the US) 3 years ago this phone was state of the art.

It had one of the best VGA cameras I have used to date, IR, Bluetooth, a 150mhz processor, stereo support, 1gb MMC card, 32-35mb of ram (I cant remember what it has), joystick that works good for playing all 622 NES roms I have.

I also have Psiloc's IrRemote that came in handy way too many times for me too count.

It came from the factory the ability to use whatever mp3's you wanted for ringtones, so I had a different one for everyday of the year. It supported java, had real player on it, I mean it seems like today the phones that are out are just now coming standard with all the features this phone had on it 3 years ago. If it had Wi-Fi and a better camera I would still be using it today.

Now for Durability.......... this is were my phone has the Heavyweight title......... I have dropped this phone a million times..... while 4-wheeler riding, riding my scooter on the road resulting in my phone skipping across the road while luckily dodging traffic.

2 years I went on a float trip and I tried to keep my phone and camera dry and both years the bags ended up getting water in them. I was shaking my phone off and water was literally just flying out of it. I also dropped it in a toilet once (luckily I hadn't pissed yet) it was lit up and underwater and I hurried up and grabbed it out.

After all of this abuse it still works perfectly. Now the casing looks bad because they don't sell casings for it but other than that it is still running strong. The battery life sucked on it and it needed wifi and a better camera but other than that it is by far the best phone I ever owned and I got so much use out of it.

I now own a Nokia N95-NAM which always stays in its little Nokia pouch and it has a screen protector and I make sure not to take any chances with it.

Now the N95 is by far a way better phone for features, I just hope I can get as much use out of it as I did my 6620, which still comes with me and the float trip (N-95 is never going down the river). It is nice to have a good backup phone for when I go riding or camping and since I have the N95 I really don't worry about it breaking at all. I think it will eventually self-destruct and go out in a blaze of glory, at least it deserves to go out with a bang after having me own it for 3 years and surviving.

The first Blog

Well, well. well, after having my own site, my own forum, myspace and facebook, why not my own blog??? I will be writing alot about stories from the past, but due to legal issues with some stories I will have to say that not all of them are true, but most of them are. I will not tell you which ones are true and which ones aren't.

I have lots of stories and I also make lots of crazy projects. I will try and get on here everyday and write one.
