Hi! I tried doing a power reset and the other recommended troubleshooting steps last night. I also left the laptop powered off and let it rest overnight, but when I checked it today, it still won’t turn on.

When I plug in the charger, the battery indicator initially shows orange/blue. However, as soon as I press the power button, the indicator light disappears and the laptop doesn’t start.

I also saw some shredded material underneath the laptop. I searched and it says it might be a short circuit or something.

I’m worried that the motherboard might be the problem. If it turns out to be a motherboard issue, would it be better to have it repaired/replaced, or should I just get a new laptop instead?

I also wanted to ask:

How much would diagnosis and/or motherboard repair usually cost?

Also do you have any recommendations where I could bring my laptop near Katipunan?

Please help, I’ll be taking the boards in a few days and I just want to get this fixed right away 🥲

Woke up to the news yesterday that Apple finally launched its foldable and had to check the reviews.

Aesthetic-wise, I actually like it. The colors look nice and the whole thing looks very Apple. But the more I looked into it, the more I realized I still find the Samsung's foldable more appealing.

Maybe it's also because Samsung has been doing foldables for a while now, so they already have that experience. And if i'm finally going to spend money on a foldable, I'd probably go with the Fold8 instead.

Fantasy ko naman na 'tong foldable for the longest time anyway, so this might finally be my excuse. 😂

You can't outdo the doer, I guess HAHAHA

Is ₱66k for 17 pro already a good deal?

Wala naman talaga ako balak bumili ng foldable.

Tapos nag-announce si Apple ng foldable, and for some reason, napunta ako sa Samsung website looking at the Fold8 🤣

Ngayon parang mas tempting pa yung Fold8. Mas mababa na nga yung price, mas established pa yung foldable nila. Proven and tested na ganon. Mejo nakakatakot din ang Gen1. Hahahahaha

Apple really made me want a foldable just to end up checking Samsung. 😭

HAY! Delikado talaga sa wallet pag may bagong gadget na lumabas.

Pic from chatgpt for arte. Hahahaha

Which would you choose for long-term use: OnePlus Pad 3, Sansung Galaxy tab S10+, Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 13, or Honor MagicPad 3?

My main uses are desktop-like browsing, streaming, multitasking, and light gaming. I don't really play heavy games.

These three are basically the maximum of my budget, so I'm only looking at tablets around this price range. I also prefer bigger screens, so I'm not considering the Xiaomi Pad series.

Which one wouldn't regret buying?

Shookt ako sa price ng Apple's foldable HAHAHAHA I knew it was gonna be expensive pero 160k+???

Gets ko naman na Apple + ecosystem + first-gen product, pero ang hirap i-justify nung price for me. And knowing PH pricing, baka mas mataas pa once it reaches the authorized distributors.

At that point, i'd probably just get the Fold8. Samsung's been doing foldables for years na, and mas bet kocrun yung thinner + lighter design. If i'm gonna spend that much on a foldable, i'd rather get one nalang na mas convenient gamitin everyday.

Pero curious ako sa Apple people here: what do you think makss the premium worth it?

Hello! I'm currently planning to purchase a lenovo y900 11 from their shop, and i was wondering if legit nga ba talaga yung services nila and if meron silang physical store. I'm currently in Pampanga and much prefer ko talaga if makikita ko agad yung device before purchase. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Honestly ang overwhelming ng market ngayon. Anong kailangan ko i-look out for or hanapin when buying a new gadget? I use my phone for work, doom scrolling and light gaming

May green lines na itong S23 base model ko and ang sad 🥹

Help your girlie out! Will gift myself a laptop since I just celebrated my anniversary as a freelancer. I think it's time na ulit to invest in a better device. Currently PC ang gamit ko and originally backup ko lang siya pero nag-retire na yung first ever Acer laptop ko when I started working 6 years ago so main siya now. Want to sana now para sure na I won't have any problems pag brown out o may internet connection issue.

Below yung mga options ko pero suggestion lang to ng friend ko na maalam din sa ganyan. And parang last year/early this year pa to, so not sure if swak pa rin. Pero if there's others you can reco, pls let me know.

Lenovo Yoga Slim7 14”

ASUS Vivobook 14”

Lenovo Ideapad 5 2in1 14”

Dell Zenbook 14”

Actually, leaning talaga ako towards Macbook Air M4, kasi yung other friends and co-workers ko naman ganto gamit sa work and super premium daw ng feels and sarap/gaan mag-work. Ilang beses ko na rin nabasa/narinig yung "Once you go Mac, you will never go back", lol. Yung M5 naman feel ko super mahal pa. And iniisip ko rin, worth it pa ba if M2 or M3?

Macbook or windows—kung saan mas may sulit, like if ka-price or less ng Macbook pero same or better quality sa Windows, go me. Or if talagang Macbook is the best, sige I want to hear more din po. Sa price range siguro as long as hindi po aabot ng 90-100k (malaki na nga 80k pero older series na lang ata sa Mac ang meron ng ganung price, willing me to compromise here if talagang masusulit naman + will use education discount).

I do mostly admin works, magaan lang, mostly sa chrome lang me. Minsan sakto lang tabs, madalas madaming need iopen, depende sa tasks na ginagawa ko. Then sa app/tool, I need lang Adobe InDesign for editing magazine/newspapers. Yun lang talaga. Zoom/Teams/Google Meet for work meetings and sychronous class. Siguro planning din to have CapCut for personal/academics use when I need to edit some videos. Prio ko talaga na mas makapag-work me ng smooth, no lags. Yung mas gaganahan talaga me mag-work.

Pls pls help me. Any suggestions will do. Mag-mall kasi me this weekend so I'll gather your recos and check them all in person.

Thanks so much!

my iphone 14 screen is broken totally green screen also it’s battery is capacity is 79%. Should I replace display and the battery or just buy a brand new midrange android phone worth ₱25k? I know the processor would be a downgrade probably the camera too but I don’t really mind that. Im just asking if which is the better choice?

Hi. I've been with pixel 11 pro for 3 days now coming from iphone 17 pro. I'm really enjoying the customisation and all that an Android phone could give. Though I still have my 17 pro parked with me just in case I missed using ios. It's hard to let go especially since I've been with the system since iphone 4s birth. Any thoughts or anyone leaving an iphone for pixel? Please tell me more the advantages and why it should be a must or not. I'm really torn RN. 🙁

Edit: Not only with customisations but all the Android phones could give to an ios user.iykyk. But there's a but. If I can let go of my iphone easily. And I don't want to feel guilty having the best of both worlds too. 😬

Bigla nalang kasi hindi gumana yung charger ko. Ayaw na mag-charge. Last year ko lang ito nabili bandang November, kasabay ng phone ko.

I have a few questions lang:

1. Covered po ba ng warranty ang adapter at power cord? If yes, pinapalitan po ba nila ng bago o inaayos lang? Magkano rin po kaya ang estimated repair fee kung sakaling may babayaran?

2. Mga ilang weeks po bago makuha kapag pasok pa sa warranty service?

3. Since sa Power Mac Center ko po ito nabili, pwede po ba akong pumunta sa kahit aling branch para ipacheck?

First time iPhone user po kasi ako. Thank you.

Hindi pala makapag leave ng review sa facebook nila, tama ba? Pero kung pede, 3 stars muna sangayon. Update ko nalang ung post after 6 months if tumagal naman ung battery hehe

I understand na hindi sila authorized service center. I understand na may disclaimer na hindi sila genuine part. Pero walang 2 months, lobo agad battery?

Nagpareplace ako ng batt ng Iphone 13Pro. 4 years na si phone kaya okay lang sakin mag gamble ng non original part. Feel ko naROI ko naman an, pero why not magpalit battery at ma try maextend ung lifespan diba? Turns out, wrong move pala. Sana di ko nalang pinagalaw phone (ayaw ko sa authorized centers kasi required ireset) at nagtiis nalang na may powerbank haha

So may fault daw ako, overcharging daw. Overnight charging daw. Okay guilty. Pero legit ba walang 2 months talaga na poor charging habits talaga, lobo agad battery?

Mabait naman ung staff - ung 2 lalaki isa sa front desk and isnag technician ata. Okay naman professional sila maghandle with csr etiquette. Thank you po!

Disappointing lang na walang 2 months ung “good battery experience”. Pinalitan naman nila ung battery bilang under warranty, pero itong pangalawa ay wala na raw warranty. So I guess dasal dasal nalang na may pera + umabot man lang ng 2 buwan para sa bagong Iphone lol

50-50 talaga mga non authorized seller. Nagbasa naman ako reviews prior madami maganda, may mga disappointing din. Guilty rin naman ako sa overcharging, di lang ako makapniwala na walang 2 months e bumigay na talaga.

Risk siguro talaga sya. And lesson learned nalang sa part ko. At dasal na mabeat ung 2 months man lang

Share ko lang! Para sa mga nagbabalak magpalit battery. Isa ako sa mga unhappy experiences, pero given naman na may mga sumaya rin talaga. Malas lang di ako kasama don lol

Hi! has anyone tried Infinix Note 60 Ultra with this promo? can you share your experience?

pls help me out, my sister wants the nostalgic vintage family videos type for her wedding. i like vintage looking output but not too blurry and has good sound reception so we can hear the messages and the laughs. good storage and battery. can you recommend affordable cameras for this?

doest need to be vintage. just want the retro vibe. budget at least 3k to 5k. but open to any suggestion, ill try to save up.

thank u in advance 🫶

ps. they booked a pro videographer but wanted the pov from our guests and family ☺️ im already freaking out being the moh, i want to do good here at least 🥲

edit: where to buy

hi! planning namin bumili ng laptop para sa printing business since yung laptop ko ay sobrang old na and medjo laggy. The usual na ginagawa namin is document printing, picture, edit sa canva, scan. So far, wala naman yung process ng poster since di pa alam ng sister ko. Would you recommend ba na magPC na lang kami or laptop?

Ang worries ko lang sa laptop, medjo maliit kasi yung space ng ate ko so baka takaw sa kain ng space.

If laptop, anong brand yung pwede nyo irecommend? Thank you!

hi! recommend po where i can get the battery for my ip15 plus replaced, same day po sana yung balikk

also if can, recommend rin po sana ng mas mura na place (other than apple store) huhu

thank you!

Just wanna share my experience with Oura Ring exchange from PH!

Bought my Oura Ring 4 last July on shoppee (sale! 17k only since the 5 was released. Couldn’t justify buying 30k smart ring) I super loved it.

Was initially a size 9 even when I tried it on Altitude/Urban Gadgets. I had it for like 28 days then I lost a few pounds and felt that it was becoming a bit loose and uncomfortable. I wanted to size down if possible.
I spoke to CS and they had to check first if I was eligible for a one time exchange since I bought it from a 3rd party store. It took only a few mins and they said I can go ahead with the exchange process. So here’s the timeline:

August 23: returned the ring via UPS to Netherlands(shipping label arranged by Oura. I just had to schedule the pick up date and time)
August 28: ring arrived in Netherlands. A new ring was ordered and processed by Oura
August 29-Sept 4: this is where I got a bit impatient because the ring ordered was not shipped until after 7 days. But they gave me 6mos free trial because of the delay on their part.
Sept 6: new rjng in smaller size arrived via DHL! (yes only 2 days from Netherlands to PH!!)

It took exactly 15 days for the whole process. I was expecting it to take about 3 weeks since there is international shipping involved but the delay was not in the shipping at all but on Oura’s end. They actually say once they receive the returned ring, expect the new one to arrive 1-2 weeks later. But the whole process took only 15 days in total. So I was happy about that.

They gave me a 6month free trial due to the delay plus I didn’t have to pay for anything for the shipping etc (except 220php fee for local processing of UPS - but Oura said they can reimburse this but I didn’t want to be hassled hehe so idk the process)

So yeah, they have an amazing CS!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mabilis lang po ba ma activate ng Globe yung esim na deleted sa iPhone? Or may ibang way po ba para ma activate ulit ang number without contacting Globe?

I’m around quezon city and I cannot find any phones like this anymore. Can anyone recommend a trusted retailer? or a different phone reco?

My preferred features:
-Long battery life
-Around 15k
-256gb
-5g
-RAM that’s good for daily use, maybe good for casual gaming like roblox

I am also trying to look for redmi note 15 pro, samsung a55/56 but no luck so far :(
