    Empty toner cartridges

    Thanks. I've had a look at a couple. Unfortunately, the type I have are 'bottles' that "these no significant electronics or mechanical parts and no value once empty as they are just hoppers for toner powder"

    New two channel programmer, heating not coming on

    The silly question first: Have you got a thermostat and was it turned up far enough to make the boiler turn on? Also, does the heating come on when both the hot water and heating is turned on?

    Unfortunately, the nearest recycling centre that accepts them is 15 miles in a direction I don't often travel!

    Threading the strimmer correctly

    From the first 2 photos it looks as though you might have wound it round in the wrong direction. If you can push the line all the way through then you need have the spool half way along and then wrap the line around - one to the top and one to the bottom following the slots.

    Which screws and plugs for MDF skirting?

    Empty toner cartridges

    I was wondering if anyone knows what to I should do with an toner cartridge or 3? I have been advised my current supplier to put them in the 'normal' bin (which was vague). As they are made out of recyclable plastic (PET) I feel that they should be recycled or refilled. If I were to put...

    It is a USB A integrated into the receiver. I understand what you are saying about the power supply vs charger. I wanted Bluetooth receiver because I've got a Bluetooth transmitter & receiver and I have to change over to receive every time I switch it on. I thought it would be a simple case...

    USB Sockets and Bluetooth receivers

    I've brought a couple or Bluetooth receivers which are usb powered. It was impossible to get them working at first. I eventually got them working, but with a different usb socket - the same or lower ampage rating. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

    Breaking out chimney(breast) - can’t find lintel or arch?
