Title: Xmas Posting Nightmare !
Post by: Hotshot on December 18, 2006
Hiya everyone,

I been waiting for two other computer and it still havnt even arrived yet but I got another computer which is CELEON 1.7 GHZ(Bought for Ã,£50!) but when I plug the monitor and power main then the PSU went BANG because I have notice that AC Main is 230 V where my power main plug is 250 V !

So I will try find the 230 Power Main plug. Sigh.

There is one things that I have learn is NOT to buy anythings during xmas on ebay because of the POSTING NIGHTMARE!

MERRY XMAS EVERYONE  :diablo:

The postal system is a nightmare any time of the year if anything at all goes wrong. Bunch of idiots.

Hope you get your stuff Hotshot.

I work as a parcel courier myself and you really wouldn't believe the delays and problems that some people are having, fortunately my route isn't too bad.

Indeed, I'm waiting for a comic book to be delivered, and it seems to be taking its time. Ah well, I'm sure it's worth waiting for. Any comic that has a pirate pushing a random kid in front of a car on the first page has GOT to be good.

I ordered a new digi cam online a couple of weeks ago, I got the camera but the memory card was sent separately and they attempted to deliver it while I was out and they left a card saying it was returned to the depo. When I went to pick it up they told me it's status was successfully delivered somewhere in devonshire!!! (in a different country from where I am).

That's not a problem.  It's either 110/120 or 230/240.  Nearly all PSUs these days are autoswitching.  Even if your mains is 250 it wouldn't blow the PSU.  Perhaps it got damp in transit or something?

I went to maplin and took the power plug. They found out the fuse blow out and I put new fuse in.  I put new fuse in power plug then I put power plug to computer and I switch it on. The PSU went BANG and it got me thinking :inspired:....the PSU must be FUCK UP for some reason....it look like I need new PSU.... SIGH....bloody COMPUTER NIGHTMARE ( I was making joke to my mate saying I should be on TV called "COMPUTER FROM HELL!" LOL)

I Still havnt got ANOTHER Two computer( one is 1GHZ AMD ;D and another one is 1.7 GHZ INTEL)
