HP Pavillion DX6500 DVD drive removal/replacement tips

Faced with a stuck dvd drive button I need to find out how to remove the whole dvd drive unit from the HP Pavillion dc6500 laptop.

I  scoured the net and found this wonderful and helpful website filled with laptop tips!

the instructions stated to remove the single screw holding the dvd drive and all you have to do is pull it out gently.

So after I removed the dvd drive pushed the plastic tabs (CAREFULLY!) that holds the front cover of the dvd drive and it released the stucked button.

Then just put everything back together and you are done!

backing up work blogs at 5:06am

I actually woke up at 4:56am today and as always, as soon as I open my eyes is like a lightbulb being switch on and can’t turn it back off. It’s like my brain just shuts off at night and just wen on hibernation without powering down and morning comes there’s not even a reboot process..it’s just coming out from sleep mode….all memories and where you left off intact…wwaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! i think i need a vacation!!!!

Anyway, procrastination being stared at the eye at the moment.  Well at least I finished 2 out of 9. That’s a start-right?

Whirlpool WHCF-R-PLUS In-Line UltraEase Plus Replacement Filter

I have one of those in-line water filter installed on my ref and I was having a hard time trying to find the damn replacement filter for it.  Turned out that Whirlpool replaced that model with a newer one but its still compatible with the old model. So the new replacement filter is WHKF-R-PLUS. 
It should fit Whirlpool WHCF-IMTOS, Whirlpool WHCF-IMPLUS, and Whirlpool WHKF-IMPLUS Water Filter Systems.

Killed one ignorance bug today

wow! pa uso! What does that means? Ignorance bug is what I call my handicap when I’m faced with a dilemma and being technically challenged on a situation where there is no competition or goal to attain.  It’s also an ego trip of mine when I get sidetracked on my workflow by a technical problem which can be a software glitch, a hardware limitation, or just the ‘i-don’t-know-jack-shit-about-this-crappy-thing’

So what ignorance bug did i take care of today? Well it’s that damn session policy on one of our servers where I got stuck in creating an ftp access to a newly created url header for a test website.  It was like a freakin monkey on my back that i was carrying for some time now eversince we had to undo the master admin setup that the previous webguru and set it back up with normal security policy.  It took me a couple of hours just to deciper the hierarchy and grand scheme of things but as usual-the answer has been staring at me all that time.  Sometimes my common sense tend to go on a trip to the store without letting me know…ignorance-bug

Honey-do-list #637 done! Kitchen Sink Faucet replaced

What the heck! How many honey-do-list do I have?! Lol!  Just kidding!  It’s not that much. I’m just trying to make a point on some of the item on my list that I’m procrastinating.
This particular one is actually the number 1 priority because it is always being used.  So one weekend I just decided to tackle the task and get it over with.
and here’s the end result.

My widget enabled!

I guess this latest update is a little stable than before.  Managed to post some of my stale messages that I have stored in the bb 8310 holding bin and flagged “to-be-posted”

Some late posted goes back to June 23 when I heard about the Philippine Ferry that capsized and killed hundreds of people. “Sumalangit nawa ang mga kaluluwa nila”

And also i finally enabled the widget features of Wordpress.  Much! Much! Better!  I like the tag cloud.  I had been seeing it from other blogs and sites but never got around in putting one up until now.

May labingdalawang blog post din akong isasangkalan para sa aking pangaraw-araw na hanapbuhay. Maybe I can start on it tomorrow.  Sana nga…

Rum & Danzinger a portrait

Wala lang. Napagtripan ko lang kunan ng picture itong dalawang alak na bigay sa amin.  Yung Presidente bigay ng kaibigan na chikana ng jowa ko. Galing ata sila ng Mex from bakasyon kaya naisipan naman pasalubungan ang jowa ko nito..Pero para sa akin ata ito dahil may kasamang mga kendi galing din sa Mex.

Yung Danzinger Goldwasser naman bigay ng katrabaho ko sa akin.  Pangalawang bote nya na itong binigay sa akin. Yung una bawas na pero ito hindi pa bukas.

Oks lang. pahinugin ko lang sila ng konti. :)

And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:14

And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

I’m not really an avid bible reader but once in a while there are some nice passage that sticks to my mind and associates it with my everyday life.

Rough translation – Hayup ka! Dimonyo ka rin pala!  :)

Manny Pacquiao wins against Diaz!

Wow! what a fight! This one I enjoyed very much.
The last time I saw him fight I wasn’t impressed cuz’ he seems to be moving slow and out of focus. I thought this fight will be a loss to him but he turned out to be a great sportsman. The way he handled his opponent and the respect he showed. Great boxer this guy Pacquiao!
We usually watch his fight at my house but this time we got invited at a friend’s house and turned out to be a small crowd. Diaz has been a sport too and on his comments after the fight we started dropping those 4-letter words with combinations of some “-ing” too!

American Airlines to charge for the 1st checked bag..

This is it! American Airlines just jumped in the bandwagon of airlines that charges for the checked bags.  They will also cut some of their flights.

Here’s the whole story..

American Airlines will start charging $15 for the first checked bag, cut domestic flights and lay off possibly thousands of workers as it grapples with record-high fuel prices.

American plans to cut domestic flight capacity by 11 percent to 12 percent in the fourth quarter, after the peak summer season is over. That’s more than double American’s previous plans to cut flying by 4.6 percent in late 2008.

In a further sign of the problems facing the industry, Southwest Airlines Co., the most consistently profitable U.S. carrier, won’t earn as much the rest of this year as it did in the same period of 2007, Chief Executive Gary Kelly said.

American, the nation’s largest carrier, said Wednesday the fee for the first checked bag starts June 15 and that it would raise other fees for services ranging from reservation help to oversized bags. The other fees will mostly range from $5 to $50 per service, the airline said.

Last month American announced it would join other carriers in charging $25 for second bags checked for some passengers, but it wasn’t immediately clear how Wednesday’s announcement would affect that.
