Then I called LG Customer Service. They sent the technician to come the next day. The technician suggested that the type of LG LG LCD TV is indeed often in trouble with his panel. And then the technician promised to mengorder spare parts and takes one week.

After a week of not receiving news from the LG I call back and they sent another technician to check on my tv anymore. The technician then suggested me to buy spare parts for new TV and I have not completely disposable.

I asked how the cost of spare parts and the LG tell if the spare part is approximately USD 300 000. I had to wait three more days to spare parts of these.

Lapse of three days no news I called again. However, apparently surprised the spare part has been discontinued and is otherwise no longer manufactured.

Our whole family is very disappointed with the attitude that no serious LG TV fails to handle cases like this production. But until now no pro-active attitude from the LG at all for follow-up to the customer (customer reports RNA100607015700).

I am very disappointed with the attitude that LG is not concerned with customer interests. LG LCD TVs Up to now I am just so showpieces at home and no attitude anything from LG to solve this problem! Thank you.

Jakarta – shaped a bit bloated with jet-black color, indicating the confidence to enter the market of this country. His first debut in Indonesia seemed to be heavy. The reason he had to deal with consumer tastes of Indonesia, which now dininabobokan BlackBerry, iPhone and Android. Can he?

The youngest member of the family Nokia-N series is called the Nokia N900. For some, the arrival in Indonesia has been waiting for. But for the user’s handset fanatic ‘neighbors’, his arrival had underestimated.

Bear this versatile product, would be hard to grab consumers’ tastes of Indonesia. With the price above Rp. 5 million and features as no better than ‘neighbors’, he would fail in seizing the Indonesian consumer affection.

Hence he will be left alone in the failure of his career debut, looked at other products with a full sense of jealousy. That there are very few people would pick it up. They’ll make a small group of lovers of the Nokia N900 in the forums, whose numbers have no meaning than the market share of Nokia itself.

Hands-On First Nokia N900

Sorry, a few paragraphs above illustration may terdegar ‘lebai’. But that picture is going to happen, if the Nokia N900 fails in his career debut in Indonesia. Actually, the first impression of this product, when I first got detikINET do unboxing and hands-on handset this fat.

First remove these products from boxnya, immediately thought of the corpulence detikINET HTC Magic with the extended battery. With dimensions of 110.9 x 59.8 x 18mm and weight of 181 grams, it was clear he was not going to win the contest bodied sexy smart phone (if any).

Slide QWERTY type keypad brings sailing Touch, Nokia N900 honestly looks classy and expensive. Moreover, 3.5 inchinya screen phones that dominate the surface.

This is actually the successor to the N97 internet-tablet, berbonus the ability of a cell phone. DetikINET computer-cellular calls.

Larger size should be present with greater stability. Nokia N900 feels very comfortable in the palm of the hand. There’s no slippery feeling when holding it. Slide the slide, then we will see the size QWERTY keypad quite small. Frankly large radius users, would be difficult to type on this keypad.

If compared to a mini N97, N900 Keypad smaller. At a mini N97, there is distance between the keypad keys. While the N900, the distance between the almost non-existent.

Close the slide, then the N900 was dominated stretch of 3.5-inch display, with no physical buttons like the home, call, menu, or cancel that usually exist on a Nokia mobile phone. This ergonomic design deserves thumbs up.

The upper part of this mobile phone has 3 buttons. As usual there is the volume button in the left corner. Then the power button is located in the middle, and the camera shutter button on top right. Slightly disguised, N900 still has an infrared sensor. Yes, infrared! looks like we’ve rarely met these tools in recent years.

Rotating to the right side, we’ll see a panel lock the phone. Simply slide the N900 is in the locked position. Right beside it there are 3.5-inch audio ports and stylus holder.

Maybe a little weird, why is there a stylus here. Apparently after dijajal also important. For some large radius, the stylus is needed when you are browsing.

A pair of speakers adorn the right side and left body N900. Stereo and very clear voice to make detikINET captivated (wait for further discussion on the performance). And then there was a mini-USB port with power. Consequently N900, can still charge when dicolok to PC / laptop, whenever and wherever.

Jakarta – Again, a user convenience Sharp product line. Beginning with the purchase of AC on February 27, 2010 with the brand name Sharp AH-type PK in AP5SLY 0.5 Abadi Jaya Toko Electronic Senen. First the salesman “Robin Koh” recommend that AC is a good choice because it “quick cool”.

However, after installation is complete and we use it a sense of “cool” does not exist. We think maybe the new stuff that it took a long time to equalize the temperature of the room. Five hours have passed but we felt like wearing fan. So the temperature of 16 degrees feel like 28 degrees. How come?

Then we went to complain to the store on February 28, 2010. Then sending the results technicians who reported that there were no installation errors, the room, and the disturbance in the unit. Technicians who named Mr Taufik was just checking and not doing any action. As a result there is no change in anything. And he ‘only’ advised to contact the Call Center Sharp. Is this what is called customer service. If the store can not necessarily hands-off.

Sharp products continued to complain that we send to Sharp who then responded by sending a technician named Mr Syahroni on March 1 2010. Results of checks and found no shortage of content ricek freon leak in the hose input and output. Again this is just the technicians. AC should have the job can work well. But, apparently to no avail. AC temperature of 16 equal to 28 degrees plus the technician statement stating that this type of air conditioning is cold this hour.

We continue to follow up with Sharp Customer Service, Mr Andi Mulyadi. However, until this letter we write, there is no better solution than him and who claims his supervisor, Mr Suwandi about our complaints.

Please follow up and management of Sharp can resolve our complaint as soon as possible. If indeed there is no solution to my complaint with a heavy heart I will sell and replace with another brand of the course “more cool” and “better understand the customer”. In other words we have crossed out the name of Sharp to the needs of our electronics, family, and friends forever. Thank you.

The room was hot always be uncomfortable to live. Many people want easy and fast solution, the choice fell to the air conditioning (AC). Whereas before determining a solution, is useful to know first root of the problem.

According to Ir. Sukendro Sukendar, architect of Nataneka Architects, hot room can be caused by many things. Lack of openings or ventilation is the most common cause occurs. Because of the minimal amount of ventilation, the air exchange does not occur from the inside out of the room. This is the culprit causing the temperature of the room was hot.

Then, if a window in each room is enough? Apparently not. Still according to Sukendro, to exchange the air in the room went well, need to be cross ventilation (cross ventilation). There are at least two windows or openings that face each other in one room.

Cross ventilation allows air to flow from inside to outside and vice versa, without having to settle prior duu, in the room. Air enters from one window, will instantly streamed out of the window in front of him, and replaced with new air, and so on. If it’s like, no air conditioning kept the room too cool.

Another thing to note is the size of the window or opening, which must be balanced with the size of the room. Large room definitely needs a big opening. Not only make better air flow, large openings also include a lot of sunlight. The room became healthy and bright, without the need to turn on the lights in the daytime.

Try clay your bedroom. Already have cross ventilation have not you? If it was not cool and space as well, just attach the AC.
