    Light switch to power deck lighting

    Light switch to power deck lighting

    Well considering I know the person, I believe her. She said decking was working before they put new soffits in, then she found out later on that they had disconnected them.

    This might seem obvious, but have you tried the auto button on the monitor ? That usually resizes the screen.

    Baxi boiler red light after water switch off

    Morning guys, How would I rectify this. Installed a new bathroom sink yesterday, turned water off and drained it, but when switching the heating back on it sounded like someone was kicking the pipes (air most likely) The red light flashes on the boiler and won't go off. The boiler is a Baxi 18HE

    PC wont turn on

    Looks like a faulty psu. Pop it into the local repair shop Very unlikely that the mobo is fried, as most pc issues are down to psu, gfx card or ram.
