    I used to have this problem with my previous Daikin air-con i.e water drips from the blower. The problem I had was the drain / gutters inside the blower gets moldy and sticky if you don't clean it regulary, which the 3rd party air-con contractor did not clean it.

    However, after I switched to Daikin directly for regular maintenance, I don't have the problem anymore because they dismantle, the gutters (and also the internal "roller"), wash them thoroughly and then blow the pipe to clear any blockage. Though it cost more per visit, but the money is well spent.

    Sorry, what do u mean by 1 or 2 way switch? Im really a novice in this. What i want is to change all the lights switch to those big rocker switches. Only thing i know is i will need to buy some 1 gang,some 2 gang and also some 3 gang switches. Btw, 2 gang means there are 2 on/off switches in one plastic panel rite? Or do u have some pic to show me? Thanks for all the help!

    Your understanding of "gang" is correct.

    "Gang" refers to how many switches you see on 1 plate/square block. If you see 1 switch on the plate surface, then it is call 1-Gang, 2 switches, 2-Gang and so forth.

    E.g.

    1-Gang --> http://www.mkelectric.co.uk/products/item....mp;rangeid=1030

    2-Gang --> http://www.mkelectric.co.uk/products/item....mp;rangeid=1030

    3-Gang --> http://www.mkelectric.co.uk/products/item....mp;rangeid=1030

    "Way" refers to how many switch(es) that can control one light/point. The most common one is 1-way i.e. 1 switch control 1 light/point. If you have 2 "different" switches (and I am not referring to 2-Gang) to control 1 light/point, then it is call 2-way. Typically, you can have this 2-way switch when you want to control (i.e. on or off) the same light from 2 different places, e.g. a long hallway with switches at both ends of the hallway. 2-way switches are much more expensive and have more connections behind the plate which layman will not easily notice it.

    Therefore, when you buy a switch, the common question the shop will ask is how many gang and way. There are:

    1G1W

    1G2W

    2G2W

    2G2W

    3G1W

    3G2W

    and so on.

    I hope I did not confuse you further.

    Hi, i wish to change my present switches to those bigand better looking switches for all my lights. Is it very diifcult to change it yourself? And any cheap places to buy these switches?

    Thanks

    I changed a few of mine to Legrand big switches (bought from Choo Chiang) last year.

    If you are changing on your own, for those 1-way switch, they are pretty straight forward. For the 2-way ones, esp. multi-gang, use your digital camera and take a photo for reference, in case you forget. Alternatively, copy them down in a piece of paper. After doing a few, you will get the hang of it.

    Aiya, actually my Samsung TV come with the standard mount already, but I worry that if installation height of TV is too high, at least get this tilting mount can adjust a bit. Avoid neck ache which is what my colleague experienced after contractor installed his TV a little too high.

    Last year, I was also searching for Sanus TV bracket. Found a shop on the 3rd Floor Sim Lim Tower (not Sim Lim Sq.) which quoted me $100 for VM200s (up to 32in LCD TV), exclude installation. If I am not wrong, the shop unit number is #03-16 or 17. You may want to check it out.

    What does it means when it says "9v battery could be used to recharge the lock from outside whenever it is neccessary"? When is it necessary to charge?

    "The fingerprint reader is made of extra hard glass to prevent scratches". What happens if there are many scratches? Will it still recognise my fingerprint?

    The lock is powered by 4xAA batteries in normal mode. If for some reasons, the battery went flat (despite the alarm / led indicator to pre-warn you) and you are outside, then you can use a 9V battery to activate your lock so that you enter into your house. This is a safety measure in case you are lock out of you own house. See illustration in this url http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com/sg/i:Biometri...20Pin:210633361

    Cannot comment on the scratches. According to a vendor whom I spoke to during the recent IT show, all you need to do is to clean the finger pad once in a while. Won't have scratches.

    By the way, there are others:
