Hoping someone could help out...

Bumili kasi ako ng Hitachi 2TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" hoping na magagamit ko siya as external hard drive ko... bumili ako ng 3.5" HDD External case USB 2.0.. ngayon pag plug ko di siya nagautorun and di siya nalabas sa my computer, pero sinasabi ng laptop na may external device na nakaplugin naman... ang tanong ko po, 1. Bakit di siya narereflect sa My computer? And 2. Kelangan ba 3.0 din ang enclosure ko? Tia mga boss! Sana masagot po...

1. make sure na loaded ang whatever driver needed for the enclosure

could anyone have a suggestion for my problem below:

 

my wifi is not working on certain network. I have a dual boot computer. linux and just installed windows 10.

 

wifi with pldt dsl is working on linux but not on windows. it only shows connected but not loading any webpages.

i have tried tethering my mobile data and both windows and linux allows me to access the net w/o problem.

 

i have tried these. didn't fix my problem

try forgetting the network name and retry to connect to it. Other than that, I dont know what else could be the problem since the guide you followed is already extensive enough to have fixed your connection issue.

[Google]

if you do an ipconfig in windows, what IP address is issued? does it follow the same IP address configured thrown by the router via DHCP? is this the same IP address issued by the router while on Linux?

 

assuming the ip address is correct and the same, can you do a ping? (e.g. ping www.google.com -t)?

is your router dual band, meaning, do you connect via 2.4 and 5 ghz? if it is, what band is your Linux connecting to? you may need to disable the higher band first and try if connecting to the lower band works for both OS.

 

another possibility is the channel dun sa router that you are connecting to. if it is on auto-mode, try to use a fixed channel and try again.

 

on the assumption that your router is not a dual band, try to update the Wifi card driver first. then do the forget network and try to connect again.

however, please try to do the troubleshooting steps first as stated above.

 

in any case, isa lang ang possible maging problem nyan on the windows side, which is the driver. otherwise, lahat ng possible problems nyan nasa router.

 

i had experienced that before, but in my case, sa Linux naman ako di maka connect. Until I discovered that my wifi card cannot connect to the 5 ghz band. When i disabled the 5 ghz band sa router, ok na sya lahat.

I don't know where to post this, but anyone can suggest where to dispose old or defective electronic gadgets?

[glut_func]

^if its old but still working you can try to sell it na lang. If no one's buying it then just give it to a relative.

 

Kung defective naman, try to get it fixed first, walang aarbor nyan kung may sira na. Pero depende pa rin siguro sa sira ng gadget kung willing yung pagbibigyan mo or buyer na sila gumastos para magpaayos. After that, same thing, if you can't sell it anymore ipamigay mo na lang sa kamag anak/kakilala.

 

I prefer giving it to a relative - i think about it na lang as tulong sa kanila.

there are guys in OLX who buy old or defective gadgets.

nakabenta ako dyan ng LG G3 na hindi na gumagana because of motherboard problems.

 

if it is a laptop and it is still working, try converting the OS to Linux. mas magaang. mas tatakbo ng maayos. same as desktop computers. then pwede mo ibigay sa kamaganak or i donate mo sa charity.

[Google]

 

Bootloop ba naging problema ng LG G3 mo magkano mo binenta as defective?

Retz, from tsikot?

anyway, the unit had a fried motherboard.

700 ko lang nabenta.

kung baga basura to cash na lang.

Dun ka na sa hindi touch screen, atleast masira man madali mapaayos at hanapan ng piyesa. Dun ka rin bumili sa mga seller na may actual store para kung need mo ipaayos may habol ka kasi alam mo kung san sila hahanapin.

 

imho lang naman.

Would anyone know where one can buy in the Philippines a wireless usb adapter specifically the Alfa brand?

Hopefully cash only.

Edited March 1, 2017 by CrescentMoon

[Cristafa]

Yung mga old laptops niyo gawin niyo na lang na Linux machine.

At least matututo pa kayong gumamit ng Linux

[k4t5u]

So I finally bought a wireless USB adapter. Now I want to boost the power even more. Yet, I want to understand what pushes the power, is it the chipset or the antenna attached?

 

For example, the wireless USB adapter limit in the box states that the limit is 30dBm but if I connect an outdoor 25 dbi antenna, will boosting the power over 30dbm safe?

 

or is the two different (apples and oranges)?
