BenardCometh Revelations

To format or not to format, that is the question. Over the course of the years, yours truly have been fixing countless PCs and Laptops and so far there has not been a case where yours truly cannot fix. (Of course if the hardware is broken then that is a different story). And no, this is not a post to self brag mmmkay. =p Just to express that the skills and knowledge if not updated will become obsolete and again the same old saying, "Learning continues until you are six feet under". Back to the focus of this post. To format or not to format. To troubleshoot or not to troubleshoot.  There are some so called "experts" who somehow thinks that only amateur or those who don;t know their stuff would resort to formatting PC or Laptop if there are any software related problems. These so called "experts" somehow have the mentality that the "expert" and "professional" way is to troubleshoot the software problem and find a solution to it rather...

"Help, I can only see my documents folder opened when I login into my desktop" If any of the above sounds familiar to you then this post would do you some good. Honestly.

Previously yours truly posted a mini tutorial on how to change or upgrade your laptop memory module aka RAM specifically in ACER Aspire 5500 series. Now I am going to show how to change the keyboard on the ACER Aspire 5500 series laptop. Please bear in mind that if you are not confident enough in tinkering with your laptop then don't do it. In other words, kids don't try this at home. Ahem. First of all. open up the panel cover of the laptop. To open the panel, you need to pull out the panel from the sides carefully. Pictures are worth a thousand words eh. The Laptop Press down the LCD panel Pull open the panel from both sides Try to pry open carefully using fingers Try another side Pull open the panel cover Panel Cover opened Now, once the panel cover is opened you will see the two screws that fasten the keyboard to the laptop. Unscrew the two screws and then pull up the keyboard carefully because there are cable connected to the motherboard underneath. Opened The Two Screw...

Oh well, As simple it may seems, there are still people asking me how the heck one install fonts, extra fonts that they found or downloaded from the Internet. Thus, this post comes into existence. Tadahhhhh!!!!! Why install new fonts? Simply for the fact that one can have those decorated fonts installed for their own preferences. Or maybe one found the ultimate font that outshines, outperform, and out-whatever-you-prefer the default fonts. One font to conquer em all so to speak. However, please remember to always use professional fonts for professional use. I am sure you do not want to use decorated fonts in your resume and send for job applications, do you? Anyway, back to the post. How to install new fonts in your computer/pc/laptop. Please bear in mind that this how-to is aimed for Microsoft platform since all of those who asked are using Windows. Ahem. (If you want to install fonts in other operating systems. Ask and maybe thou shall receive. =p) First of all, please go and get the...

Are you still using Internet Explorer as your default browser to browse the Internet? It's about time that you try other browsers such as FireFox and Chrome. I would recommend Firefox though. Heck, anything is better than Internet Explorer. Why? Well, if you have no knowledge about the many bugs and flaws that infests Internet Explorer, this is another reason why. Serious Security Flaws Found in Internet Explorer Users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed. The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say. Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the "underlying vulnerability" was present in all versions of the browser. Other browsers, such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, are not vulnerable to the flaw Microsoft has identified. "...

Thought this might be useful to some. Recently I am working on some large files with Photoshop that involves huge memory usage hence I decided to modify the Photoshop CS3 Scratch Disk to cater for the huge memory usage even though I upgraded my system memory to 2GB earlier on just in case. Note that, if your memory allocation is not enough, more than often Photoshop will prompt an error saying that the scratch disk is full. Some just restart their computer and restart again. It works but troublesome. Now, what is Scratch Disk? Simply put, a scratch disk is virtual memory. Photoshop uses the scratch disk/virtual memory when your system does not have enough memory/RAM to perform the operation needed. By default, the scratch disk will be on the hard disk where you installed Photoshop. You can always change the scratch disk to any hard disk partition you want or even assign a second, third, fourth and so on scratch disk to be used when the primary scratch disk is full. Always remember tha...

I have been a pretty good boy and behaves well this year. Ahem***. Santa Claus surely will climb down the chimney and give me an Iphone. Wait, my house don't have a chimney. Darn, for a moment there I thought that I might just get the present from Santa. What? Santa doesn't exists? Oh the betrayal, the lies, the agony, and the pain. All these years I have been cheated.

Am actually waiting for the firmware and winpawn to finish downlo...
