There was thing on TV about Bosch dishwashers catching fire and doing much damage. There is a recall but not many have been returned. The faulty ones are in batches FD7901 - FD8504. The plate is on top of the door.

In my case, she turned blue and froze.

Once upon a time, a powerful emperor of the Rising Sun Empire advertised for a new chief samurai. Only three applied for the job, a Japanese, a Chinese and a Jewish Samurai. "Demonstrate your skills!" commanded the emperor. The Japanese samurai stepped forward, opened a tiny box and released a fly. He drew his samurai sword and "Swish", the fly fell dead to the floor, neatly divided in two. "What a feat," said the emperor. "Number two samurai, show me what you do." The Chinese samurai smiled confidently, stepped forward and opened a tiny box, releasing a fly. He drew his sword and "Swish. Swish", the fly fell to the floor in quarters. "That is a skill," nodded the emperor. "How are going to top that, number three samurai?" The Jewish samurai, Obi-wan Cohen, stepped forward, opened a tiny box releasing one fly, drew his samurai sword and "Swooooosh", flourished his sword so mightily that a gust of wind blew through the room. But the fly was still buzzing around. Disappointed, the emperor said, "What kind of skill is that? The fly isn't even dead." "Dead?" said the Jewish samurai, "Dead is easy ............. circumcision, THAT takes skill."

Sorted, I rebooted it.

I keep getting this alert even though I have deleted all the messages. Any ideas?

Our LEA wrote a nice little script for us. Backs it up to encrypted Zip files.

Or, get her to go to the Vodafone shop, there will probably be one at the destination airport. -
Is that right?

I think the issue now is Toshiba paper and sticky tape versus brick toilet. Does anyone have any experience of Stone laptops as I can get a reasonable deal for an i5 version?
-
Our LEA tell us they get the best possible pricing from Dell!
-
Not a big deal because everything will be backed up. If you have an identical drive, you can try swapping the boards over. Something else you could try is to stick the drive on a radiator to get nice and warm, then try it.

Trouble is, they need to run Windows 7 Pro and looking at the prices, it will cost at least 50% more to get a Dell or Lenovo, so there goes our budget and no replacement projectors. To be honest and this may seem a somewhat selfish attitude, the Toshiba laptops come with free 3-year warranty. I'll be long gone by the time it expires. My intention is to do a report with pros and cons for Tosh and Dell and let someone else make the decision.

The one we are looking at is HD3000 but in view of the usage, I'm not sure that's too big an issue. As for flimsy cases, apart from a couple of broken lid catches, we've not had that much damage to the Toshiba laptops. As for faults, out of the 50 odd we have bought, we,ve had two dead screens (one under warranty) a dead drive, again under warranty and an external vga port died (laptop moved to a non IWB invironment).

We have to replace a load of laptops when we upgrade to Server 2012 and Windows 7. We can get Toshiba i3 laptops at a really keen price with three years warranty but County are pushing us to go for i5s. Whilst I appreciate what they are saying, the extra we would have to pay would mean that other things like projector replacement wouldn't happen. These laptops will be used in classrooms running Smart software and Office documents. So their options are a fast laptop with a display that can just be seen if you turn off the lights and close the blinds or an adequate computer and a nice bright display. We've always used Toshiba laptops and had very good reliability. I'm interested to know what others would do in my place.

Dell Poweredge by any chance? They are notorious for it. I think it might be a BIOS issue. You need to monitor the CPU and case temperatures.

That's great.

Lucky escape. I hope the little one is better as well?

Have you tried backing up a smaller number of files? That should help determine if it's a file size issue.
-
I had a similar thing backing up to a USB caddy. I could access the backup drive, manipulate files and all looked fine. But NTBackup failed. I swapped out the caddy and it's right as rain. Do you have another backup device you can try?
-
Have you checked to see if you can reserve it on line to collect at your branch. We had to drive to Kidderminster to get our as there was no stock in Worcester or the surrounds.

If the next door neighbour had the same model? I haven't enabled the encryption though.

After replacing the third capacitor one of the spring connections for the power connector snapped off. I was going to try and solder a lead and then I noticed Currys/PCWorld do a 200mbs pair for £19.99. ON NETWORKS PL200-199UKS 200 Mbps Powerline Adapter Kit Deals | Pcworld Just installed and working well. It comes with a two year warranty. It doesn't look like it is configurable but it does have an encryption button.
