Nikon D60: Error press shutter release button again

Posted by Ada on Category: Toys and Gadgets | 51 Comments

My Nikon D60 is 1 year 4 months old now. Last week, my D60 started showing Error: Press shutter release button again in it’s LCD. Pressing the shutter button again and again doesn’t help. I tried to figure it out the in the internet and saw many Nikon users who experienced the same problem.

Through this link, I was able to follow Steve Jackson’s advice. I let my dad open my D60 and he put a WD40 on red and white small gears. He did some test shot, it worked, but up to 5 shots only then the error appeared again. He keep figuring out the problem on my cam but he can’t see the problem.

I decided to go to Hidalgo (Quiapo) and let professional fix it. I saw Bert’s Camera Repair station and asked what’s the expected price for this kind of error, and he said P2,500 ($54). Damn, too costly. I think if I will go to Columbia (Cubao) they will charge me P5,000 or more plus I have to wait for 4-5 days. But in Bert’s station, I am allowed to wait my camera fixed for 1 hour.

What’s really with PLDT Watchpad

Posted by Ada on Category: Toys and Gadgets | 2 Comments

Are you an internet addict who spends time in front of the computer more than watching TV or movie? Would you believe that there is a certain broadband provider which offers an optimal experience with the use of internet?

I remember way back in 2002, our first internet connection was the dial-up. I just browse, Google, and download songs apparently at 3 to 5 kbps, lol! See how slow connection we had back then! Until YouTube, online games, social networking sites, and download sites emerged in 2006. I guess you have already seen this Panda Piano Musical PLDT Commercial in TV or YouTube.

When you say broadband or DSL connection, PLDT MyDSL would be the first thing that would pop-up in your mind. PLDT MyDSL is already a distinguished brand which offers internet service since the internet boom in the market. From the video shown above, I think the character that would best depict me as a power internet user is the girl in WoW costume. Continue reading »

My X-Mini Max Twin Capsule Speakers

Posted by Ada on Category: Toys and Gadgets | 44 Comments

I’d like to share something techy. I just feel like blogging about it and this is definitely not a promotional post. This is just something interesting I want to share.

My day would be incomplete without hearing my favorite music. As much as I want to hear it alone using headphone, sharing my music with my friends would be awesome.

Splitted X-Mini Max Twin

I bought this X-Mini Max Twin capsule speakers 4 months from a Pinoy ebay powerseller. It is portable, very light, and pocket size from the look itself so I did not hesitate to order one. Continue reading »

Let Your Ears Decide When Buying MP3 Players

Posted by Ada on Category: Toys and Gadgets | 14 Comments

You are going to buy an MP3 Player, which would you consider: The music quality or the trendy look? I often see people in jeepney, LRT/MRT, streets, malls with earphones. Obviously, listening to music with their MP3 hiding at their pocket, bra, or bag.

Answering the previous question, since it’s always inside my pocket, I would consider an MP3 with superior sound quality, rather buying a trendy one with sound isn’t that great. Continue reading »

Posted by Ada on Category: Toys and Gadgets | 7 Comments

I got 4 Red Mobile SIM last year, and it’s for free if you sign up from their website Loadmomma. It’s a bit disappointment for me because it’s not compatible with my Nokia 2600 Classic Phone. Good to hear that lately, Red Mobile expands their service and is now available with 2G Phones!
