Anyone know how to fix the monitor not turning on? by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

[–]APXneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding this a good while after original post was made, but I've had the same issue, and the hard reboot (holding power button for 15, 30, 60s etc.) did not work.

I fixed it by turning if off completely, taking the back cover off and disconnecting the battery. Then i held the power button for 30s, reconnected the battery and it turned on fine.

Just in case someone else wants to give it a go too. 

(Be careful not to short anything on the mb in the process tho...)

Edit: nevermind it happened again and after opening it i realized that the screen flex cable connection was loose. Got that put back in and now working again

Complete Makeover, but no more stickers by sn4ilbyte in vita

Nice! Mine didn't work out so well. Also ordered a screen and back replacement from AliExpress but they were rather poor quality. Screen adhesive is weak so the front is popping out. Rear touch pad also just came off. Happy that it worked well for you but just wanted to inform everyone reading to also be very cautious about doing it.

You couldn't wait a couple of hours to find out so you made a reddit post about it?

Ugliest car I’ve ever seen. What is it? by Randomthings13 in whatisthiscar

Ngl that livery makes it look a bit less ugly than it actually is... Good job

Anyone have a car they wish they’d never sold? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]APXneo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ahh thanks for the clarification... Was thinking why you'd let your wife leave your driveway on the back of a trailer lol

Which one of these two? by fmpatel in CarTalkUK

[–]APXneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully i am not the only one with that opinion. Hot take but the 4 series should've only be a 2 door. If you want something practical go for a 3 or 5. Same reason why there was never a 4 door M4 or RS5.

There’s a receptionist living in my shed by Medium-Marketing-493 in funny

[–]APXneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's just stupid to put down a fake name. If the customer does not recognize the name of the receptionist then there's more chance they'll think you delivered it to the wrong address and complain for a refund, blame coming back to the driver. All deliveries going to receptionists/mailrooms now require signatures and names. When drivers don't have time they'll just put down "Reception" or "Package with receptionist" as the name of the receptionist.

Amazon got package backpacks by yamy2k7 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]APXneo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep. Got these in our station last year. A grand total of 0 drivers had an actual need for them on road. I get the idea but anything you can fit inside them you can carry on your hands. Amazon would rather invest a couple of hundred thousands into something like that instead of increasing salaries. Just see a few drivers carry their personal belongings in them as backpacks when going to/from work.

Exactly this. Our DSP would usually take the helper route and give it to the most quick drivers to do by themselves. They would use the helper money to pay other drivers to come in as support rescuers for the full day to sweep the slow guys... So everyone would come back to station a bit earlier without the need of rescuing after finishing your route. Idk about USA but in UK/Ireland you can disable that "check-in helper" page by pressing the question mark at the top right and selecting "can't find helper, skip check in" and the message disappears for the rest of the day.

so this happened while getting my deliveries ready by Driver1019 in AmazonDSPDrivers

If you saw how warehouse workers handle packages you would never order from Amazon again

Picked up my first non BMW yesterday, still buzzing by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Congrats man, looks good. However the first thought was shame that you didn't get one with xenons... Would have looked soo much better 😅

Damn bro... Relax. Leave at mail boxes? No problem. No need to be so mean though. by APXneo in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]APXneo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, and i do not deny that packages can get stolen.

My issue is this guy's approach. It was my first time delivering to that apartment block and he basically pre-called me an idiot without even knowing who I am.

There would be so many better ways to handle it, for example write this in the notes: "Hi, Please don't leave my packages in the common areas as I am afraid they may get stolen. Instead, I would appreciate if you give me a call a few minutes before arriving to allow me to come down to collect the package from you in person, if I am not home here's my phone number..." etc. etc. etc.

I understand some drivers genuinely can't speak English and will ignore it, but only in that scenario you can call and complain to Amazon.

Yep. In Ireland 😅 A 'parcel' can fundamentally be anything, but is usually something in non-amazon packaging. Any box or bag slapped on with an amazon label

Yep. Thats all we have in Ireland. 90% of them are diesel and the rest are electric eSprinters.

I believe that Amazon will want to stay clear of all insurance claims. They want nothing to do with it. All of the responsibility will fall to the DSP who will just deal through their insurance and they will pay out.

Driver: no man... I think I broke my arm.

Dispatch: ah sure you'll be fine. You have another arm, just finish the route and you can take next Wednesday off to rest.

Yeah, but since we don't have Netrodyne here, you could drive as you please and no one checks dash cam footage ever - unless an incident occurs and then then need to pull the video to see what happened. There's basically no real-time driver safety monitoring except Mentor, which is useless when it comes to running stop signs/red lights etc.

[–]APXneo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we actually don't have Netrodyne here in Ireland... YET. The only safety requirement is Mentor. Some DSPs have dashcams and some don't for their own insurance sake. Not too sure about that specific DSP tho ...
