Hai, i have on old-notebook Toshiba Sattellite M100. I really love this notebook and still do not want to replace it, because the performance still very good.

With Intel T5600 1.83GHZ 2MB Cache 668Mhz. 3GB DDR2 RAM. ATI XT1300 DDR 256MB Dedicated Graphics.

Yesterday i did service by myself to this my notebook, i called it "orangebook", because its color is orange. Every 5-10 minutes it suddenly off by itself. I know it was because over heating, even i used cooler pad.

in fact, this case has already happened since a year ago. But few days ago it was very frustrating. I know the problem the processor's fan is not working anymore. i can see it. Then i went to notebook service, and ask them to opened it the orangebook, and look at the fan if something happenend.

They said exactly you have to change your fan!! WTF, without seeing it first he said the cost services and price for the fan is totally RM250. Damn IT. I just want him to do a service. Then i decided to OPEN IT by myself.

I buy a set of screwdriver costs me RM30 and thermal paste RM20.

I open the orangebook. I can saw the motherboard, it very sexy. I saw everything. The Graphic card, the processor, and of course the fan and heatsink.

What i found is there was DUST as a big of my hand, stuck in the fan and heatsink, made the fan cannot spin. After i clean everything i assembled every piece of it. So today, my orangebook has came back to normal.

Love it!!!


* my advice, if your toshiba notebook has problem with expired warranty, and you curious to know, do it by ur self first. The repair/service is full of greedy people. IMO (not all of service/repair center)

Hahaha..
Just try bro..
i got the internal speaker from ebay..
not harman kardon actually, the sound quality so so lah..but it is better than no sound at all..

you can get the harman kardon from teledynamics, i have asked them, but it will cost around 400 they said, with the "pasang" fee..

I said i just want the speaker, i can "pasang" by myself..
then they didn't respond me till now..

BTW, if you look at my website, i re-paint my M100 into sparkle black..very nice!!!

First time, i was worry. But when i get the result, it was very satisfying. I dismantled it first before i painted. Got to be really careful. But it was very worth to try..

Yeah..tak berbaloi to buy the harman kardon when you have altec lancing at home.
The internal speaker i used rite now, i bought from ebay for only US$13 include shipping fee.


About photography?
Yeah a little, why??

It is probably ur flash setting on firefox. But before go there, have you looked at the chat options?? Maybe be you uncheck it..
