Trying to help my Aunt with her skype: Microphone works but volume too low - only just registers when its touching my lips!!! This is not just a skype problem - volume is too low for sound recorder, etc. Tried adjusting volume, etc but no speaker icon in taskbar. Have managed to open it...

Without hopefully tempting fate, hoovering the alarm seems to have made the difference. Many thanks :D

bob-the-builder When the alarm goes off there are usually a couple of loud bleeps then a delay (5-10mins) before the full alarm sounds. The heating is not on during the early hours of the morning (when the alarm sounds) Thanks

Is it a simple process to exchange? I've seen the info in the manual hence I wanted to try the quick tests/checks first. Don't want to be out of pocket sending it back then it turns out to be something daft - doh!!! (Although I'd hopefully find out what the cause was and my mate can get a...

gblade, Previously, checked out your parts list of Maplin. Seems that the relays have been discontinued. Any heads up on an alternative? PS, website very useful - thought it only fair to reference it via a link :wink:
