Roco Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Guys just got back from a freebie call out 11pm GMT the lady in question, had signed up to NTL UK cable a few weeks back after being on 56K dial up , it was the usual cock up by the installer , and he did not have the sign up details, on day 2 I got called in , got the details , loaded an antivirus & firewall , did a speed test or 2 , reset the rwin , lite the fuse and escaped , a day back I got a call , I cant connect to the internet or mail , and she had phoned NTL , but the guy was a idiot , and no help , I think he got some abuse , So this evening I went over , she was still complainuing of not being able to connect , so I turn on the puter having noticed the modem lights were ok , first thing I see is NO SIGNAL on the flat screen moniter , the puter loads up with the correct bleep , with a black screen checked the vid lead it was OK yeah, the vid card had failed , the puter had onboard graphics as well as the Nvidia card (Asrock m/b ) so I got it up running after a bios change, she said you ar clever , why couldnt the NTL Guy have told me that , I told him I could not connect to NTL , :2funny: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 So what else is going to break down???? And are you now on call in an instant? Hi grandpa , yeah, on call 24 hrs , the only cure for this I guess is to is to start charging , I got caught in this trap working for a charity for the elderly , and bless them they passed on my contact number to all , but in all fairness it has been a good learning curve for me , and a pay back for all the good things I have gained from computers and the internet , like TMN etc. and friends from around the world , how do you put a price on that ?

granpa Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 Roco, Your right on that price, nothing like something to keep you on your toes thinking and then the satisfaction of a thank you smile. Many I know never thought I would be one to use a computer let alone build my own. Well if you break it you fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted February 21, 2007 CID Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi grandpa , I got my first real computer at 54y , so I ain't looking for a Career in fixing computers, just more than happy with the international friendship that it can give , just like this contact , I grew up in the days of post meaning sticking a stamp on a letter BTW I build my own also, but with the UK prices , the next one will be a while yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
