It’s been a whole month with my z1 compact back. Nice. I’ve successfully avoided buying the Sony smartwatch 2 and a bluetooth headset, the SBH-70 in particular. I have this list of want-to-buys in my notebook and so far, what I’ve checked is only the 2GB RAM for my father’s netbook. I think it did give a performance boost but not so much as the reduction of startup programs. The psychological effect may also help. Hope it does maintain it’s performance.
In a few days after that RAM upgrade, mhaelord’s netbook’s I,K, and M keys stopped working. The day after I found out, I managed to fix it for a couple of minutes only for it to fail me again when I was puttting the screws back. I’m guessing it had something to do with me opening it up in the first place to borrow it’s RAM. Nonetheless, her netbook is still useable with my spare PC’s USB keyboard.
I also found out that my old netbook’s not useable at the moment, most likely and hopefully just because its charger has gone faulty. I have yet to visit a laptop repair shop for it. Maybe I’ll have it checked same time as having mhae’s netbook’s keyboard checked. I’m refraining from ordering a replacement keyboard online, both because I’m getting a little stringent with cash outs and I want to make sure that replacing the keyboard will solve the problem. There may be the possibility that there’s just(?) a problem with the connection.
Back to my z1 compact, it’s either a software problem or one brought about by it falling to the floor. I’ve been having problems with the earphone jack that a restart quite solves. Dogi’s z1 compact has completely failed him. I’m comforted by the fact that I’ve gotten an extended warranty. I’m not bringing this one to the service center yet because I still have an out of town trip soon.
Fun trivia from spending time on the net recently: Sony has an Xperia J1 Compact model, a Japanese market exclusive, which is pretty much a rebranded Z1 Compact. I thought of getting an Xperia J before, but it wasn’t much of an upgrade for my Xperia pro back then. I’m glad to know that I practically have an Xperia J1.
