At another Tata Docomo franchise, was told that the engineer is only available between 10 am and 6 pm.
The Tata photon+ was tested at different locations using different computers, but gives the same error.

Renting vs buying

Increasingly, it is becoming more economical to rent/lease computer equipment rather than buy them. Most brands offer after sales service for only one year after the purchase date. After that all maintenance has to be done by the equipment owner or an AMC has to be signed, which can be expensive. Also for most computer/electronics equipment the performance deteriorates significantly after the first year of use, so money may be wasted in procuring expensive components as replacements.
In terms of reliability/performance, computer equipment can be ranked in the following sequence
1.Branded desktops – very reliable , most work for a year or two without major problems
2.Branded laptops/netbooks – vulnerable to hacking using WiFi / Bluetooth
3.Branded printers – deskjets, allin ones – most unreliable at present, scanning functions stops arbitarily, power supply malfunctions.
Have tested 3 major brands of printers /all in one devices.
In such cases at least for laptops /netbooks/ printers , leasing may be a more cost effective solution.

Unauthorised access using Bluetooth/wifi

The problems created due to unauthorised access by misusing Bluetooth /Wifi of a laptop connected cannot be underestimated. These include framing the computer user for activities which he or she were not responsible for. Some of the options for preventing Unauthorised access using Bluetooth/wifi are
1. Changing location constantly – only feasible if the user has a mobile office.
2. Using a desktop ( which does not have bluetooth /wifi inbuilt)
3. Wireless jammers can be used , but these are expensive and difficult to find. Importing jammers is prohibited.

Toshiba NB510-A1110 Netbook “forgotten/incorrect” password

Initially it seemed that the Toshiba netbook password was reset remotely

Later when trying to use system repair /Windows 7 CD and command prompt, it appears that the keyboard has been tampered with.

use cmd, go to command prompt

While typing i oi appears , and similarly for many other keys.

So when typing the password, the actually password input will be totally different, creating the illusion that the user has forgotten the password.

While booting with Windows 7 CDR , there is a loud beeping sound.

Unable to use system restore / system repair for restoring to original state

Offline windows editor for editing/modifying password does not work.

Blocking WiFi networks

Today most netbooks and laptops have bluetooth and WiFi enabled as a default setting and this can create problems for the user. If a hacker uses a cable, DSL or dialup connection to access your computer, you can simply disconnect the cable and use your laptop or desktop without any interference.

However, securing your computer against a WiFi network accessing your computer, without your permission is far more difficult. Even if you disable the bluetooth and WiFi connection through the control panel, some hackers seem to be able to enable these wireless connections remotely , access data on your computer and install malware. One solution to this problem is to purchase a WiFi jammer for blocking these signals. Another solution is to relocate to a place where you are out of the range of the suspect WiFi network.

Computer security with a cable internet connection

One of the main disadvantages of using a cable internet connection with a fixed IP address is that your computer becomes vulnerable to hackers all around the world. They can take control of your computer, and you may be held responsible for their actions. So while a cable internet connection is often faster than other internet connections, especially for downloads, it is advisable to minimize its usage, especially if you think it has been hacked.

Dial up problem

Whenever we try to use a dial up connection on one of the computers, the computer stops working. It appears that some kind of malware has been installed on the computer. In such a case, the best option is to have multiple computers for different applications. When you are not connected to the internet and the computer / laptop has no wifi connection, the chances of a hacker gaining access to it are minimal.

PS2 Keyboard stops working

This is a problem which I face repeatedly while updating my websites or adding new eBay listings. The PS2 keyboard stops working, though the mouse continues to function properly.

The files on the website and on my hard disk also seem to be changed and have a number of grammatical mistakes.
The problem is temporarily solved by disconnecting the internet cable connection and restarting the computer. The problem of text alteration exists even with a EVDO connection.

Restarting the computer  is only a short term solution. In the long term the problem can be only be fixed by finding out who is hacking my computer , taking remote access, what his motivation is, who is funding him

USB hub with power supply

USB hub with power supply

USB hub with power supply

Most computers have  only 4 USB ports, which is often insufficient when you are using a number of  USB drives.  Also most external HDDs have to be connected to  at least  2 USB ports so that they get adequate power for operation.  Using an USB hub with a power supply solves this problem  to  some extent.

SATA and IDE HDD

SATA or Serial ATA is the interface used to connect hard drives and other storage devices to the bus . Hard disks ( HDD) which use the SATA interface are more compact compared to the earlier IDE  HDD.  SATA HDD are also cheaper, more compact and usually faster.

Website loads blank pages

Sometimes instead of web pages with data, you only see blank web pages.  Some of the reasons for this could be :

1) The PHP code does not execute mid-way through rendering the page server-side so it crashes returning null headers back to the client browser.
2) The server the website is running on has no memory left to process the request , this is an intermittent problem.
3) The  website is running on non-server grade hardware that does not have ECC RAM and/or production grade CPUs  with adequate capacity. So whenever there is memory corruption or bad bits the Apache process fails midway.

In each case, you can try again after some time.

Broadband connection

If you have a broadband connection through a LAN , sometimes  the connection may suddenly stop working.  If you ping the default gateway, you will get the error message,  operation timed out. It usually resumes working automatically after some time.

One way to troubleshoot this problem is to unplug the ethernet cable and connect it back again.  If this does not work, disable the LAN connection from the network settings and enable it again.
