I got the same drive. Google 4816a and it coughs up Asus just as dnuggett says. Looks just like BenQ and pn very close so I'm guessing BenQ makes for Asus?
RMA refused. After being on hold for 30 minutes they claim I must have original receipt. This despite the fact that a sticker on the drive bearing the serial number and date of manufacture (Sept 2002) clearly establishes that it is less than a year old. The drive was a Christmas gift and I...
Buslink (Lite On) dead. Xmas purchase so receipt gone with the wind. Replaced with $10 Ceyndine (unknown brand)48x12x48 Office Max special. That Lite On sure didn't last long! Thanks for the suggestions.
Buslink (Lite On rebadge) less than six months old appears to be on the way out. Drive functions perfectly except for burning. It has started making lots of coasters and when a disc will actually load some (not all) of the tracs sound like crap. It blows my mind that some sound awful but...
Staples is IMO the "gold standard" for rebate processing. Amazon isn't even in the same ballpark. I sent two Amazon rebates in December. One finally shows up in their system and they claim I'll get it in another eight weeks. That is over five months! The other was for NAV and doesn't show...
Update: Well, I reinstalled zonealarm and all my problems are gone. It appears it wasn't completely uninstalled and the leftover bits were screwing me. Now I just have to figure out how to dump the miserable thing. MS add/remove software obviously doesn't do it. Thanks again for the info.
Trying to set up 2 boxes to share cable connection and files. Using d-link
di-604 router. Win 98 box connects and surfs fine. XP box pings self but
cannot ping router (error code 65). d-link tech support advises that only a
firewall or ICS can cause this error. Firewall is not checked. ICS...
Finally! Cable internet in this little hick town. OK - so they provided modem and nic and set it up on Win98 box. No firewall privided so I grabbed ZoneAlarm. Fine so far. Then I notice Toshiba modem also has USB connector. Great! I decide to install XP box also. Big mistake. I had the...
I have two 40 gig drives in this system. One of them has started to make some really ugly noises (not sure which one) and I suspect it won't last long. Most important stuff was moved to another system. Looking for a utility to check HD health - is there such a thing?
Thanks. I know nothing about it so assumed Alltel was a modem chipset or something ;) I did google searches and found nothing. I could not figure out what they wanted for the life of me. That really doesn't reflect very well on CentutyTel. Thanks again for the clarification and to those who...
Considering adsl with CenturyTel, my only broadband option. They are offering $30/month for three months, then jumps to $50 for duration of one year contract. Also free install and half off Westell 2110 modem ($120-$60 rebate=$60). I wonder about this modem. It doesn't seem that great...
Interesting. Thanks.
Kudos to Abit and IBM for their integrity. From the article:
"While Taiwanese passives makers are trying to shore up relations with their customers, some of the computer firms affected are doing the same. ABIT says it will replace or fix defective boards its customers...
I was reminded the other day that - "Creative Labs tests on Intel chipsets and if you wish to use another you better pray". I know this is true because when I (and many thousands of others) had compatibility problems with the SBLive and the VIA chipset their party line was "Not our problem - we...
