Bing Lee had this on sale yesterday for only $39 and I got Dick Smith in the city to price match! JB Hi-Fi had them for $78 but wouldn’t discount. They claimed their cost price was $68, but if Dick & Bing can sell for much less, JB should have a serious talk with their [...]

A few weeks ago, Kmart had this on special for $29 and @nawtee & I went to JB-Hifi and got them to price match!
YAY… Audio quality fairly decent, and there’s a bit of oomph with the bass boost on. There’s also an aux input so you can connect any other mp3 player using a cable [...]

Bought this from logitechshop.com.au for $25 when they went crazy a few weeks back with the bargains. They’re an older model so they were being cleared out.
I used to buy expensive earphones but always end up damaging them. Somehow I’d lose the sound to the right earphone (every time)!
YAY… Some noise isolating features. Not as [...]

A new year… a new post. Here’s hoping 2010 will be the year I get back into blogging… instead of just writing one post a year!
Seems like my XBox360 repair adventures have generated a bit of interest, but alas I’m sad to report my X-Clamp fix lasted only a few months. I rarely play my [...]

I know I know… I’ve taken too long to blog about this, but if it’s any consolation, I think I’ve finally fixed my XBox360 for sure!
Background Info: I got the dreaded Three Red Rings of Death problem on my XBox360 with error code “0020″. I tried almost every fix available out there:

My previous posts detailed my 2 attempts at fixing my XBox360 RROD problem (error code “0020″). To recap, I attempted the towel trick and heat-gun fix. The towel trick lasted only a few days while the heat-gun had my XBox360 running for a few weeks.
I did more research and the only two options left for [...]

After my earlier attempt to fix my “0020″ XBox 360 three red rings of death (RRoD) problem using the dodgy “towel trick” failed, I did more in-depth research on the internet last weekend and decided to blog about my findings, and my (so-far) successful repair job.
First, some background on what exactly causes the dreaded RRoD. [...]

It’s been a long time since I posted anything, but I thought I better blog this quick before I got over how pleased I am with myself.
I was one of the first in Australia to get an XBox360 when it just launched. I pre-ordered my unit at Electronics Boutique and went for the launch night [...]

My rear projector TV has been stuffed for 2 months. Fortunately, I got an extended warranty for 5 years when I bought the TV. Unfortunately, the extended warranty wasn’t with Panasonic but another insurance company. To keep a long story short, it’s been 2 months, and the repairer is only coming this Thursday to repair [...]

2 months ago a friend of mine was going to the US for a holiday and wanted to borrow my Navman GPS pda. Instead of buying the US maps from Navman at their ridiculously high prices, my friend bought a copy of TomTom Navigator 5 and installed it on my Navman instead. Of course, I [...]
