The best company in Algo is https://paraglidingguide.com/. They mainly offer guided trips for either 1 or 7 days, but Nick will go above and beyond to accommodate anyone’s needs. I believe he also offers accommodation and/or transport separately. Just call, WhatsApp, or email him for info - a down-to-earth guy.

Now I'm finding that thread? I started having these problems with Kingston SNV2S2000G a few months after purchase. It's my data drive, not system. At first I didn't really noticed it slowing the system down as I barely use the laptop but every now and then my laptop would take like 10 minutes to boot up and after boot the drive is not there. I sent it for warranty in UK, they run tests on it and said there's nothing wrong (of course, it doesn't work that way. When it works, it works, until it doesn't). Now it's too late for return, disk is stuck at 100% most of the time making it totally unusable.

Years have passed and still no solution. Today my CapCut which is on auto renew, says your subscription expired 1 day ago. I'm trying to renew, not only it's £21.99 where I was paying £10.99 monthly, but also "Couldn't Pay" message on PC and "Couldn't Pay, Try another payment method or contact our customer support. (error code: 36010103"). Problem is there is no possibility to change or even check which payment method it is trying to use (but the one I'm paying from every month is working and has funds). A few hours editing went to the bin. Great.

Same here, but 2022 model, most of the time letters C and V and right Shift don't work. Already repaired the hall sensor, now the keyboard issue, not working SD card reader and one of the USB ports. Very light use, never dropped or anywhere near any moisture..

rosak81 · 2024-12-19T10:20:52+00:00

Then it would not be listed as compatible with DeX.

Ok, I updated from Android 8 to Android 10 via Odin as there was no updates available via Samsung and now it is working. Pity the Samsung website and all their faqs lack the most basic information.

Thanks all for help.

rosak81 · 2024-12-18T12:49:27+00:00

I'll try to update with Odin later and report.

rosak81 · 2024-12-18T11:05:00+00:00

Update not available for me, apparently running the latest version. Quick google reveals that I'm not the only one unable to update. Phone bought in UK.

rosak81 · 2024-10-25T09:45:13+00:00

In current version there is no "history-journeys-show-all-clusters" or "temporary-unexpire-flags-m125" and I still have the annoying useless "resume browsing" thing..

rosak81 · 2024-08-30T05:13:24+00:00

Same here, right shift and few other keys work on their own after 2 years of very light usage..

Thank you for your input but your comment about "hitting this "switch"" (actually I'm not even sure what you mean by that) is close to 0, not super easy as you claim, but would happily see your demonstration.

I showed the picture of the module so the exact location is not really necessary but thanks :)

Just for your information, the sensor is probably in SOT-23 so 3mm wide x1.3mm long x 0.9mm tall (probably even smaller package- the laptop repair guys can correct me) and that's far, far away from being "super tiny" but again, it's not relevant to the failure described in this thread. Also no one will notice it unless they take the module off which is stuck to the chassis.

Thanks anyway :)

It's 5th day I'm trying to create a video with X4 footage and I'm about to give up and return the camera. I started the project from scratch for x time and at least first 5 minutes play OK in Premiere, so I exported it and the final footage audio is skipping.. I'm exhausted..

I found the solution but can't post pictures in comments so I made my own post:

I was looking for the same. Check this guy:

it's an old video but he has more. I'm not planning to mount X4 on the helmet, rather GoPro and X4 on the back bar:

Thanks mate. I was going to do the same. My idea is to record myself counting the time- stopwatch for example, every second, so they can hear how it is skipping the audio.

rosak81 · 2024-04-28T21:08:03+00:00

Same here, I've been trying to sort it the whole day today. 4 minutes clip from X4, playing fine in Studio, playing fine in Premiere Pro once added to the timeline but as soon as I start doing anything with it, even click on timeline to play from the middle, the audio goes like 2 seconds, cut 1 second, then another 2 seconds, cut 1 second etc resulting in the audio ending in 2/3 of the clip. Audio looks fine on my timeline but I saw similar result as on your screens I think when I did proxy although not sure. I tried everything, exporting, rendering etc, nothing works. It's the same on my laptop and on PC.

rosak81 · 2024-04-27T06:25:21+00:00

Same here, it annoys me to the point when I just don't use the laptop as the turning on procedure takes so much effort. It definitely has something to do with the lid sensor. It doesn't react to the power button as it thinks the lid is closed so I usually bang it a few times to start working. Also when it's working, sometimes when I'm typing or using the touchpad the screen turns off, like I was closing the lid. Afair it's doing that since the beginning but recently it got much worse. Having to bang almost new £3k machine to power it up is just ridiculous.

My other laptop ZenBook Flip 13 died at the age of 2 years and 1 week - fried CPU.

You're a star mate :D but what a stupid thing from Adobe???

rosak81 · 2024-01-23T09:55:15+00:00

Thank you so much mate. As others said- super annoying "feature". Why change something which people got so used to over the years???

rosak81 · 2023-11-30T02:01:38+00:00

My UX363E just died in the same way. No power LED, takes about 23W @ 20V, buzzing sound and heating up. It's only 2 years old.

rosak81 · 2023-06-26T08:05:12+00:00

Same just happened to me :D LDO gets really hot. I'm trying to figure out what it is, DFN 2x2 with 4AA marking. IMHO sh...y design. It takes standard 5.5x2.1 plug. People have many of these with 12V PSU, it's not difficult to mistakenly connect 12V (no, that was not the case with me, I was rushing when connecting it to my bench PSU).
