Thanks for the responses - much appreciated. A guy at my local Maplins also suggested the router didn't take AC. The back of the router reports '12V AC 1.2A' above the power input. In the manual the spec is documented as AC Inputs: Input: 120V AC, 60 Hz Power Adapter: Output: 12V...

Hi The AC adaptor on my wireless router has failed. I can use a spare adaptor but want to check it is safe to continue to use as the spec differs slightly. The broken adaptor reports it input as 230v 50hz 95ma. My spare also has input of 230v 50hz but is 145ma. Broken adaptor's output is...

That's great - thanks. Just so I can understand this a bit better can you explain anymore? Currently the red wire goes into COM and then out of the same COM into a L1. You suggest going into COM and out and into the other COM. The yellow currently goes into a COM and you suggest putting...

Hi Our shower blocks on a regular basis. I have tried a plunger and also some stuff in aerosol can that 'sends vibrations down the pipe'. Both of these remove the blockage for a short period. Other appliances draining to the same drain as the shower are OK so I suspect it is local to the...

We have a soak away on a small patio area that drains away very slowly leaving pool of water on patio. I suspect either it is bunged up with decomposing materials (leaves etc) and/or the ground it is soaking into is saturated. I've tried clearing away as much as I can, as far as my arm can...

We are in the process of conveting a basement flat back into the main house. Building regs have advised all rooms that are not bathrooms or kitchens must have door closers on them as the house is 3 floors or over. If we do install door closers we will want to remove them once building regs...
