| [00:08] | * MiS is away: sleep | |
| [16:49] | <JoeBorn> | another peppy day on the #neuros channel I see. |
| [17:02] | <Eagle_Fire> | hi joe |
| [17:02] | <Eagle_Fire> | guess what happened to my 442 |
| [17:03] | <Eagle_Fire> | i plugged it in to charge it |
| [17:03] | <Eagle_Fire> | and i heard a muffled pop |
| [17:03] | <Eagle_Fire> | followed by the Happy Fun Smell |
| [17:03] | <Eagle_Fire> | wouldn't turn on after that |
| [17:04] | <Eagle_Fire> | took it apart and a new hole was blown out of one of the chips, which i was sure hadn't been blown out the first time i took it apart |
| [17:05] | <nerochiaro> | O smell of electronics burned to a crisp. So refresing ! |
| [17:07] | <Eagle_Fire> | so i think i either need to get a new motherboard or wait for the FF 442v2 dev boards |
| [17:07] | <Eagle_Fire> | JoeBorn, what do you think |
| [17:22] | <JoeBorn> | sorry stepped away there for a minute. |
| [17:22] | <Eagle_Fire> | hello |
| [17:23] | <JoeBorn> | I would send it back, it's still in the warranty period |
| [17:23] | <JoeBorn> | I mean you haven't taken it apart or anything like that have you :) |
| [17:23] | <Eagle_Fire> | well besides tearing it to pieces to grab my filez off the HD |
| [17:24] | <Eagle_Fire> | i suppose not |
| [17:24] | <Eagle_Fire> | i don't suppose you have a spare mainboard - that's all that's broken |
| [17:39] | <JoeBorn> | not really. we get finished goods from China |
| [17:39] | <JoeBorn> | but we can send back the defective ones and have them replace them, the factory warranties them. |
| [17:40] | <Eagle_Fire> | i wouldn't say this one was defective |
| [17:40] | <Eagle_Fire> | it worked great until it broke |
| [17:40] | <Eagle_Fire> | then it wasn't so great |
| [17:53] | <JoeBorn> | well, if you are happy with it, then I'm certainly not going to suggest that you send it back :) |
| [17:54] | <Eagle_Fire> | alright then |
| [17:54] | <Eagle_Fire> | how shall i return it to you |
| [17:57] | <NC-17> | carrier pigeon |
| [17:57] | <Eagle_Fire> | i see |
| [19:03] | <JoeBorn> | yep, carrier pidgeon |
| [19:03] | <JoeBorn> | that's the best way |
| [19:03] | <Eagle_Fire> | what address should I send the pigeon to? |
| [19:03] | <Eagle_Fire> | and do i need an RMA number |
| [19:10] | <JoeBorn> | yes, but all the customer service dudes have gone home and I don't know how to do it :( |
| [19:10] | <Eagle_Fire> | some CEO you are |
| [19:10] | <Eagle_Fire> | i suppose i'll just email support |
| [19:10] | <Eagle_Fire> | it was a 1-year unconditional return policy wasn't it? |
| [19:11] | <JoeBorn> | www.rockbox.org |
| [19:11] | <JoeBorn> | oops, that's not what I meant to past |
| [19:11] | <JoeBorn> | paste |
| [19:11] | <JoeBorn> | support@neurostechnology.com |
| [19:11] | <JoeBorn> | that's what I meant to paste |
| [19:11] | <Eagle_Fire> | gotcha |
| [19:12] | <JoeBorn> | no, it wasn't unconditional! Holy Smokes! |
| [19:12] | <JoeBorn> | but you won't have any problems. |
| [19:12] | <JoeBorn> | just please don't mention my name. |
| [19:12] | <JoeBorn> | just kidding. |
| [19:13] | <Eagle_Fire> | if they give me crap i'll let you know |
| [19:21] | <JoeBorn> | I don't think they'll give you any crap, but sure let me know if there's trouble. |
| [19:22] | <Eagle__Fire> | yessir |
| [19:23] | <JoeBorn> | I think we should all sign in a couple times, it will look like there's more folks here |
| [19:23] | <Eagle__Fire> | i was trying to run colinux |
| [19:23] | <Eagle__Fire> | gonna build me some OpenWRT linux |
| [19:24] | <Eagle__Fire> | but it was choking on my hyperthreading processor |
| [19:24] | <Eagle__Fire> | trying it again, so don't say anything important |
| [19:25] | <JoeBorn> | ok, well I'm off anyway. |
| [19:30] | <Eagle-_-Fire> | hmm, that sure didn't work |
