RAJE1 PC
Mood:  irritated
Topic: work
RAJE personnel transferred to the newly renovated (but still lightless) room.

In the process, they managed to pull out 2 internal wires from the serial cable for Psion handheld computers.

So I fixed the cable and reinforced it, but couldn't test it because their "upload/download" PC wouldn't boot.

I tried every conceivable thing, to no avail. I tried changing power supplies, RAM, reseating cards, etc. I tried OTHER computers, but none of them won't boot.

In the end, I tried Avern's computer (from Accounting Section). I turned it off and brought it down to the RAJE room. It wouldn't boot! That's when I tested the output voltage of the AVR used on that station, and voila! Alvin Capulong plugged the two (2) PC's into the 110v socket, so that's why the old "upload/download" PC wouldn't boot! Who would've thought, when one computer was perfectly working using the same socket? :-(

In the end, the "upload/download" PC's Hard disk failed to boot. Good thing I configured 2 other HD's for the same PC.

Whew! Took me 3 hours and 43 minutes for that job!

Alvin better not show me his face tomorrow.
