Direct MP3 Download: Podnutz Daily #82 – Darn UPS Guy
UPS vs Ebay battery for DV6000 laptop.
My mistake when ordering caused it
to ship to my house instead of the shop.
Could not change the shipping address with seller.
Had to leave the shop early and sit at home.
Of course UPS showed up within
the last 15 minutes of their 3 hour window.
Shop news:
We picked up a couple of KVM switches
to increase our productivity.
Starting to offer RUSH service at the shop for an additional $119
Reinstall day today!
Dell B130 laptop
During boot gets lsass.exe error and reboots.
Major registry error.
If you have a fix for this, let me know!
Did a Windows reinstall.
Another Dell B130 laptop
Kept blue screening but not in safe mode.
Blue screen had no specific error
Just a stop error.
Did a Windows reinstall.
Two Mac Powerbooks came in.
One has a bad logic board (mother board)
The other has a loud fan.
These will both be in the laptop videos
(soon-to-be-released)
So there *will* be some macs in the videos
as well as Windows laptops!

I fixed my 52″ Mitsubishi DLP projection TV myself!
After extensive online searching for a possible problem

Replaced them. TV now works.

Voicemail from Grant:
Acer 500 cannot boot from CD
Loaded with spyware virus
Problem with automatic updates
Ran Smit Fraud Fix and a bunch of others.
Do a manual update through the MS website.
It should flush out the problems.
Email from Bob:
Can you explain how you downgrade
a Vista machine to XP?
Email from NThinkBone:
Had an older computer and reformatted.
I successfully installed SP1, SP2 and SP3
one at a time with no problems contrary to
the annoyances.org forum that overlaying
service packs would be dicey at best.
Email from Bobby:
What is up with the PodNutz videos
I keep hearing about? Where can I find them?
I am currently working on the laptop repair videos.
They are not yet released.
Email from Hamrad:
Laptop with a blank screen
but if you look close you can see an image.
I thought I remembered you talking about this
and you diagnosed it as a back light failure.
True?
I share how I troubleshoot this issue.
Email from Ben:
Weird graphics issue in the exact same spot
only in certain programs.
Swapped out graphics card & updated drivers
.. still it persists.
