Previous year, in June, the Sifymail of Sify.com announced cessation of its service suddenly. It advised its users to enter users' other email address to get the mails redirected to it. I didn't get even a single mail redirected such. I had to retrieve all the pictures and documents in the attachments beforehand. And I had to inform all the friends and relatives about this closure, and request them to communicate with another email address of me. Moreover, I had entered my sifymail address as alternate mail address in many websites that I had to change. Recently, I found also that my membership in a blog directory is lost: I could not sign in in it as before! [It is Blogadda.com].
A sentiment lies behind this Sifymail service closure: it was my first ever email account created for my use in the year 2002 :(
My computer was restarting often, unusually. I went on and on checking all the computer parts for defects in the materials or the functionality. But I could not make out anything; all were well in shape and fitness. Later on, I heard some crackling noise coming from the back of the computer as soon as I started it. I went behind the computer and 'found' the site of the sound! Yes, it came from the back of UPS where I could see sparks! But it was not from the Mains - power supply connection. But it was from the fuse carrier
plug! On close observation I found the plastic head of the fuse carrier cracked - probably from jamming against the wall behind; the miniature fuse inside the carrier has become loose and the spring under it could not hold it tightly - thereby making an improper connection to the UPS! That's the matter. When I replaced that defective fuse carrier, the computer was happy & started to function well with a smile, cheering me. So, have in mind that computer parts alone should not be checked in the trouble-shooting exercise. As an electrician could have found out and corrected such problems, try to be an electrical expert too in DIY - to avoid your such nutty conditions made by Electronics!
