For sound system setups I will be using a proper sound meter, which I have a calibrator for as well, and I also have the THX display setup and the proper blue glasses to get the tint and colour correct on TVs. As well as having many years experience (both coporate and public) in computer diagnostics, repairs and network setup.

How much to repair a charging point on a laptop and also the wireless card?

Is it the charging point on the laptop itself or in the end of the cable?

With the WLAN card I would have to inspect it to find out if it's a software, physical failure of the card or something more evil. There would be a $25 inspection fee that gets waived if you go ahead with the quoted repairs.

Basically, if it's the mainboard that's faulty then it's not worth fixing as the cost about $600-800 just for the parts.

yea its the charging point on the laptop and as for the wireless it some times goes and then doesnt

Bugger, that would need a new mainboard then. The wireless may be fixable but it wouldn't be worth it if the mainboard needs replacing anyway.

Home theatre optimisation? Please good sir, tell me more.

[Andrew NR]

I use a laser distance measure to find out how far the speakers are from the centre seat which means the surround sound amp can delay each speaker correctly so the sound gets to you at the right time. I then use a professional sound level meter (might bring it to the dyno night for fun) to set the correct volume level for each speaker. I can also suggest speaker positions.

The TV then gets the brightness, contrast and tint setup to THX standards.

[clintondane]

Sounds good to me, when are you free? We've got a full hd 42" panasonic plasma, mysky hd, panasonic bluray player, onkyo amp and can't remember the make of the speakers? Just never taken the time or had the knowledge to get it set up perfectly. Goes ok and sounds good still.

How about midday Sunday?

[clintondane]

Should be good, I'll text you tomorrow and let you know. I know we're off to the inlaws for a bit of a celebration on sunday. Finally got granted a NZ Residence visa, YEEEHAAAAA!

That sounds complicated ! I'm sure most people with a good amp have a microphone that you place in the position you want the best sound and it automatically adjusts the speakers for volume and delay. The TV stuff I have no idea on though.

[clintondane]

Haha have i scared you off we have the microphone but god knows where it is ???

[caspros]

Not trying to cut his lunch, but if you want the microphone I've still got mine I could lend you . . .

[clintondane]

Cheers, I'll get the missus to have a lok for it first. It was her after all that lost it after one of those flat spin cleaning sessions women have. No doubt its in the freezer or in the bathroom with all the meds etc

[Andrew NR]

The microphone is for noobs and only newer or high end amps have that feature.

I had a mainboard for a HP laptop repaired by re-soldering the power connection back on, you need someone with circuit-board experience tho...

The type of person is someone who builds them for the likes of ABB etc...

Very hard finding one of those guys...

Do you mean it doesn't work ? It's sounds really cool when it does the step through's though.

I have no idea, I'm just raising the question. How is what you do so different ? I'm all ears, always keen to learn.

The microphone method does work but it's not as accurate as doing it manually. It's like the difference between auto and manual gearboxes, the auto does a good job but isn't as crisp or presice and you don't have as much control over it as you do with a manual....that's the best comparison I could come up with LOL

[caspros]

Well that's good enough for me !!

[clintondane]

I'm definitely a noob when it comes to home theatre setups. This is the first component system we've had. We've only ever had those cheap syatems that allow almost no customisation. This amp is insane, the fucking instruction book alone is 140 odd pages! That in itself isn't an indication of qualiy, lol, but it sure makes setting it up properly a bit more difficult.
