CASE 1:
I was unable to fix the Wifi issue of WD My Passport Wireless - 1TB
even after resetting by holding wps and power button as instructed by
the WD forum and phone support.
I am only able to connect through USB to my Mac/PC post update. I have already backed up my content.
This
problem started after I tried to reset my password. I later on tried
updating with the latest firmware from WD support page via SD card.
It's now only showing two flashing red blinking.
There has been no rough usage of hard drive. I have been using it to playback movies and music via my cloud.
Normally it should rollback.
This is the proof that the hard drive is working perfectly but WiFi can be fixed but it has been made impossible to fix via firmware through usb.
CASE 2:
My Sony Smart band SWR10 strap got torn and I was unable to secure the strap so I had to buy a FitBit.
I contacted Sony India via twitter. They said go to the nearest service center which I had already visited. Who said they don't have the parts.
Even mobile phone companies take up space by offering new updates to the consumers but it does make it slow as it takes up enough space to make one buy a new mobile phone or same goes with computers and printer cartridges and the drivers.
