[06:46] <Kilos> hi paddatrapper inetpro and other lurkers
[07:36] <Langjan> G'morning Kilos, lekker geslaap? 
[07:38] <Langjan> I keep on getting this on the channel that you suggested: #phillw :Cannot send to channel
[07:38] <Langjan> Anyway the prob is sorted, its the monitor
[07:52] <andrewlsd> Morning paddatrapper Kilos inetpro Langjan thatgraemeguy theblazehen and others.
[07:52] <Kilos> ja dankie Langjan en jy?
[07:52] <Kilos> hi andrewlsd 
[07:52] <theblazehen> Hi andrewlsd  and others
[07:53] <Kilos> sorry Langjan i ran out of data last night and by the time i got back you were gone
[07:53] <andrewlsd> just a re-post from something I saw on other social media:  ScaleConf is happening in Cape Town 9-10 March.  website-scaling technologies.  see http://scaleconf.org
[07:53] <Kilos> i even typed here someone there must give you authority to get in there i think, to stop spammers
[07:55] <thatgraemeguy> morning
[07:55] <Kilos> so Langjan just needed a monitor change?
[07:55] <Kilos> hi thatgraemeguy 
[08:02] <Langjan> Hi andrewlsd et al
[08:02] <Langjan> Hi Kilos all is fine here thks. Yes he needs a new monitor
[08:03] <Langjan> I checked the connections and cable, mine works fine so there is a problem in the monitor, 10 years old
[08:04] <Langjan> LG Flatron 17"
[08:04] <Kilos> ai!
[08:04] <Kilos> always something
[08:04] <Kilos> some pc repair places sell second hand monitors
[08:05] <Kilos> i got a nice one few years back for R400
[08:14] <Langjan> Been shopping around, there are quite a few from about R400-500, theres a Dell E1709w in Cape Town with no stand for R100
[08:14] <Langjan> Can use the stand from the old one
[08:15] <Kilos> sjoe
[08:16] <Kilos> stands can be made but the courier will charge lots from there
[08:20] <MaNI> 10 year old monitor with problems, probably the fuse :p
[08:20] <Langjan> We can use SAPO tracked and insured parcel, will not be much more than about R50 I guess. 
[08:22] <Langjan> Thks MaNI I'm just battling to open the thing, have manual but still not clear how. If its the fuse the monitor will probably be stone dead. It shows a white screen with vertical lines
[08:22] <MaNI> ahh okay, not the fuse then
[08:34] <nsnzero> hi guys
[08:34] <nsnzero> is the monitor not in test mode ?
[09:05] <Langjan> hi nsnzero how do I check for test mode? 
[09:06] <Langjan> screen is completely white
[09:09] <nsnzero> looks like the controller chip is faulty is it CRT or LCD ?
[09:11] <Langjan> LCD
[09:21] <nsnzero> i had a laptop that had the same problem - it was a signal wire that was broken - have you tried the monitor without pluging the VGA connector ?
[09:24] <Langjan> It still shows a white screen with only power cable on
[09:25] <Langjan> with vga connected it shows some fine colored vertical lines
[09:25] <Langjan> still on white screen
[09:30] <nsnzero> its the controller chip then - best you have a tech check it out 
[09:35] <Langjan> Thanks nsnzero 
[09:39] <nsnzero> its my pleasure 
[09:40] <Langjan> Appreciated, Linux ethos is great!
[09:41] <Langjan> Except when Kilos lurks silently in the background
[09:41] <Kilos> hahaha
[09:41] <Langjan> caught you man!
[09:41] <Langjan> lmga
[09:41] <Kilos> im quiet when i dont know how to help
[09:41] <Langjan> I have noticed
[09:42] <Langjan> You not often quiet
[09:42] <Kilos> but thats how one learns, watching someone else troubleshoot
[09:42] <Langjan> Much cheaper to learn from others' mistakes...
[09:42] <Kilos> yip
[09:43] <Langjan> By the way we knocked Mpumalanga out
[09:43] <Kilos> well done
[09:43] <Langjan> thks
[09:43] <Kilos> did you throw the balls at their heads?
[09:44] <Kilos> a good hammer could work easier without as much concentration
[09:44] <Kilos> those balls turn remember
[09:44] <Langjan> Nee man. All our teams won by a good margin, senior M & W, open A M & W and open B m & W
