| 1118784 | 2010-07-16 21:49:00 | one of my nokia ph i set a pin number when a simcard was changed over. i was with Voda for many years (contract) until i went prepay - so what was that 3 or 9 pin number again? yes, you could plug into computer and undo it but the phone was worth less than the cable, plus i dont' have a bluetooth adaptor on my PC. |

| 1118786 | 2010-07-17 00:12:00 | Encryption is a laugh. as for taking it in to be repaired, I usually take it straight to HP, its been sent in 3 times over 3 years, 2x keyboard and one PSU problem, each took 2 weeks. Never loved HP support since they told me they wouldn't give me system restore disks to fix my laptop because they had sent out 40 and none had been confirmed delivered. The internet was quick to solve that one but I didn't have much choice. Next time ill buy the parts and install myself. warranty ends soon anyway. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1118787 | 2010-07-17 01:41:00 | Sent 40 recovery disks? Ok.... | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1118788 | 2010-07-17 03:49:00 | Weird, never usually takes us more than 2 days to get parts and fit them, even if it hasn't been diagnosed over the phone first. And yes, those TPM are also a PITA. |
