Hi, I need help.
I'm having problem making payment with my PB debit card.
Element14 CS called to say my the payment did not go through.
I called the bank and was told to try making payment again which I did.
Still no go.

What did I do wrong?
I typed in the card number including the 3 digit code.

Did that already.
I'll check again tomorrow.

BTW, Pi delivery in 3 weeks (if I get my payment straightened out).

I ordered my Pi at Element 14 even though it says out of stock.
Delivery is in three weeks.

My other items purchased at the same time arrived today but GDEX delivery guy thought no one was home and left.

Anybody have problem paying Element14 purchases with Public Bank Debit cards?
I ended up paying through Maybank.

If you really want the GUI you could VNC over LAN/Internet or VNC through SSH over internet for added security.

BTW, you can multiboot Raspberry Pi from one SD card using Berryboot.

A couple?
What did you do with them?
Care to share?

Element14 free shipping for November

Check your power adapter's output voltage (as well as when plugged into the Pi).
It's probably borderline case.

I'd say it's easier (and safer) checking the pin-outs on the web.

Bought mine from Element 14 Oct 31.
Payment hiccup with Public Bank debit card, finally paid through Maybank Nov 1.
Got call telling me Pi would be only available in three weeks.
I got the rest of my order within two days.
Now just waiting for my Pi.

Ordered HDMI-to-DVI and micro USB cable from ebay last week.

Not the cheapest but looks to be quite robust with ferrite bead.

Ebay HDMI-to-DVI cable

[Edit]
uh-oh. I just noticed the product description is wrong. Better check first before buying.

Unfortunately elsewhere in Malaysia prices aren't so great and HDMI-DVI isn't so common.

Ordered mine Oct 31 and was told they will ship in about three weeks. That's next week.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Also hoping my cables from eBay will arrive in time.

I hope the Gdex delivery man doesn't make another of his silent deliveries.
A few times now he comes by, thinks there is no one home and quietly zooms off.
Not a sound from him, not a phone call...

Added on November 17, 2012, 7:13 pmI ordered the HDMI/DVI cable on Nov 4, the micro USB cable a few days later.
Previously it took under a week to get my orders from HK/China.
Last one took 3 weeks. It spent most of that 3 weeks at customs and Pos Malaysia (deduced from the various date stamps)

E14 giving free shipping to Malaysian orders this November.

My Pi arrived early this morning.
(Only 20 day wait - I was informed at time of order it would take three weeks for new stock)
Unfortunately my cables from eBay have yet to arrive.

BTW, it's still listed as Out Of Stock at E14

Finally!
Somebody actually using their Pi for something other than watching movies.

What does your Pi setup actually do?

Stock down to 764 at 5PM
Going fast.

Pretty much a hit or miss hack.
What is needed is something like this
