 Hi all,

Nokia 5.4

WHAT HAPPEN?

Just a week ago my wife complaint that her phone not able to charge when connected to usb supply. She trying several time charging her phone..change the usb cable, trying different dc charger, cleaning the usb port connector..at the end, all the option not working. Finally, once battery is exhausted, the phone dead

Phone unable to charge, and finally dead

This Nokia 5.4 phone just 6 months old, so, can be considered an meansalmost new phone. Charging problem just happened so suddenly, which mean, she is not able to backup all the data..leaving all her important data in the dead Nokia 5.4 phone.


USB CHARGING PORT ISSUE

When searching on the internet regarding this issue, we noticed that this is a common problem for Nokia phone. Most issue are focused on the charging problem due to the non-fitted size of usb port. This issue will cause some excessive play on the usb cable when connecting to USB port, which might lead to damage the USB on the usb pin connector.

Once the damage happened to the usb port connector, it cannot be reversed anymore and replacement boards are required. This is what happened to our Nokia 5.4.

If your Nokia phone still working, still able to charge, then please take extra careful measures to prevent this issue to happen to your phone. Please find the temporary solution on the internet.

problem with the USB port design which is not tight enough, leaving some play (movement) when connected to usb cable. This issue, in the long term will lead to damage to usb port.

HONDA RS150 TPS: RPM TAK STABIL BILA NOT ON THROTTLE DAN PENYELESAIANNYA

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera Isu TPS ni berlaku pada tahun lepas, Ogos 2020 (milage dalam 24000km, baru dua tahun pakai) sewaktu saya on the way ke KL Masa tu tunggang motor full throttle yang menyebabkan RPM nya selalu mencecah ke CUT-OFF (utk makluman, honda RS150 saya ni tak guna ECU custom, masih guna yang standard). Jadi saya perasan, bila selalu tunggang pada RPM yang sampai CUTT-OFF, ini menyebabkan kesan tak baik pada TPS..jadi utk yang belum jadi problem TPS ni..boleh la cepat ganti ECU ke ECU yang tanpa cutoff. APA TU TPS? TPS bermaksud Throttle positioning sensor..bahasa mudahnya alat ni bertujuan untuk mengesan kedudukan throttle body valve dimana udara masuk ke enjin untuk pembakaran. Dengan itu, baru la ECU tahu berapa banyak bahan bakar yang perlu utk pembakaran berdasarkan bukaan valve tu.  Bila TPS dah problem, TPS akan memberi maklumat yang salah pada ECU berkenaan besar mana valve tu buka, jadi nisbah bahan api dan udara jadi tak betul la. maka, tu yang ja...

HONDA RS150 IACV: IACV PROBLEM? RPM NAIK TINGGI BILA HIDUPKAN ENJIN?

 Hi semua, Salam sejahtera Masalah IACV saya berlaku selepas isu TPS wujud di milage 24000+km..kemungkinan kedua2nya ini saling berkait. Masalah IACV hadir ketika saya on the way balik semula ke Johor, ketika bahan bakar berkurang dari tangki moto. SIMPTOM  ? bila hidupkan enjin honda RS150 saya, RPM akan naik tinggi dan kadang2 sukar dikawal. tengah jalan pun, jika stop di trafik light, rpm akan naik tinggi dan mengaum bising..so, isu ni biasanya disebabkan IACV IACV APA TU IACV? IACV bermaksud Idle Air Control Valve. bahasa mudahnya nak control udara masuk ke ruang pembakaran sewaktu motosikal kita idle (tanpa pulas pendikit atau throttle) iaitu semasa tak bergerak. FUngsi dia mcm choke la pada motor lama yg guna karburator supaya moto mudah di hidupkan dan dalam masa sama injap dikawal dan dikecilkan bila enjin motosikal telah panas. IACV idling control valve (anak panah, lubang udara yang dikawal) APA FUNGSI IACV? Jika kita dah pulas throttle, IACV dah tak digunakan dan va...

HONDA RS150 FUEL CONSUMPTION AT VARIOUS SPEED

Hi semua, selepas sebulan setengah menggunakan honda rs150r untuk ke tempat kerja...berikut dibawah yang dapat saya simpulkan dari segi kadar penggunaan petrol. data diambil menggunakan minyak ron95 dan mix city and inter-city riding. riding kadang-kadang rilex dan kadang aggressive dan ade beberapa trafik light di laluan tersebut. maka, halaju tidak tetap tetapi laju maksimum adalah seperti yang dinyatakan pada bacaan yang dinyatakan.  manakala, pemanduan di highway pula, halaju lebih tetap dan bacaan yang direkodkan di highway adalah semasa ke kuala lumpur. distance dari rumah ke tempat kerja adalah 82 km..jadi ,penting bagi saya untuk tahu, pada laju manakah yang paling baik supaya saya dapat pergi dan balik hanya dengan sekali isian sahaja.. berikut adalah bacaan rekod jarak kilometer melawan halaju bagi honda rs150r. Fig 1: bacaan halaju 80km/h dan kadar penggunaan petrol bagi honda RS150R Fig 2: bacaan halaju 90km/h dan kadar penggunaan pet...
