Hi all, I have a Mira Advance ATL Thermostatic shower and it is about 2yrs old. Tonight it started a high pitched whistle and two red lights at the bottom of the unit started flashing. One warning said 'WATER SUPPLY and the other said RESET. Can someone please give me advice on how I can...

Thanks Chris. I'll have a go at resetting them. PM

Hi All, I have a Philips flat screen TV (42PF5521D) and it has an annoying fault. The picture display is too high and wide for the screen. Sub-titles are lost because picture extends beyond the screen frame. I have the manual but I can't find any reference to adjusting the picture, other...

Thanks John for your info and support. PM

Going to give the CV joint a good dose of looking over this week. I have been looking at a YouTube video of separating the balljoint and would like to know if the procedure is as easy as the video makes out and doesn't cause damage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ-M--2uGE4&NR=1 It...

Thanks to opps, I downloaded the Hiren's Boot Disk and found a utility that retieved data (3.5GB); Photos and other items, that otherwise would have been lost from a USB memory stick. My gratitude to him for sharing his skillful knowledge. PM

Hi opps, Thanks for the link. I've downloaded the contents and burned it to disk. Where do I go from here, mate? I can't find any instructions on the NET. I'm totally lost! Cheers, PM

I'd appreciate some info on the Construction Skills Certification Scheme. My grandson done four years at college doing an Engineering course. At the end of the course he sat a Health and Safety exam (or equivalent) and passed. The college then told him to apply for his SSCS. He sent off his...

Thanks John, wiith advice from you and opps, I'll suspend the BIOS update. As I said in an earlier post, when I booted up in 'Enable VGA Mode' everything worked in low resolution, but I could access everything on the PC. But now the screen goes black after icons are displayed, but the...

There's value in your comment, opps, but I've tried every other possible means to correct the problem and none have scored. In the absence of additional info, I'm left with few options but to consider a BIOS update. The computer as it stands is a load of scrap. The problem has progressed to a...

This is in response to Mickmoody's advice to Flash the BIOS. But anyone who is competent at such a sensitive task is welcome to comment. My MOBO is an ASUS a7n266-c 1001E and I've updated the appropriate file from the ASUS site and have put it on a floppy disk. The file on the disk says...

Hi Toph, It is the original Video card and I have updated the drivers. Still no good. Cheers.

Hi Mick, I couldn't take a chance on updating the BIOS, because the PC isn't stable. There's every chance it will power down during the updating process. Thanks for your advice. PM

Hi Opps, I took your advice and tried to d'load UBUNTU several times, but my connection keeps on breaking, so I give up. I was going to have another go over the weekend when traffic isn't so heavy. Believe me, I'm pinning my hopes on UBUNTU for the USB stick and my faulty PC. What is clone...

Thanks all for trying to find a cure for my PC ills. Mickymoody: Apart from the cleaning, I've tried it in different USB slots. madder: All help to a possible solution isn't silly. The files I want to retrieve were created on the same machines. I only use Windows. timtheenchanter: The...

Thanks Burnerman.

Thanks Homer & Opps. I tried PC Inspector and I didn't retrieve anything. I didn't see anything on the free site that I recognized. So I will d'load UBUNTU when my connection settles down and doesn't drop during downloading. Cheers, PM
