    Using UK laptop in USA

    Hi, I was wondering if I can still use my UK laptop transformer and simply just use a US adapter on the plug to power the laptop, would it still work OK or would I have to buy a US adaptor when I get there? The text on the transformer states... Input 100-240V ~ 15A 50-60Hz Output ...

    Intermittent left click

    Perhaps a liquid has splashed around that area (like coca-cola) and once dried has acted like a glue and is sticking the button down?

    End of the road for the space shuttle

    Our cancelled tickets offered 'free' entry into Cape Canaveral Centre, although having already seen it previously we had no desire to see it again. It would be worth seeing once but over an hours drive from Kissimee it really does take up a full day

    Grub screw Removal Tool?

    After painting the bathroom and removing all towels rails, soap tray etc. all which are connected by grub screws, I was unable to remove a couple of screws as the tops have became 'threaded' by excessive use of the allen key. Is there a tool that I could insert into the grub screw enough to...

    Multi Point Lock on Wooden Door?

    Thanks very much for all advice. I would be keen on the idea of just adding extra mortice locks but the thought of needing 3 or 4 keys led me to believe that a MPL with one key would be the answer. I've just got it into my head that a swift kick could knock the locks out and the door needs...

    Multi Point Lock on Wooden Door?

    Hi, My front door is wooden, it has a Yale Thumbturn lock at the top and a Mortice Lock on the handle. I am not convinced of the strength of these locks and want to upgrade. I would like to install a multi-point lock like you see on UPVC doors, with the Hook/Rollers on it. Is it possible...

    Do I need carpet underlay?

    Yeah you could use that, it certainly will be better than using no underlay at all! Cheers

    incredibly bright bicycle light

    Perhaps it was this... http://www.evanscycles.com/products/lupine/betty-14-front-light-ec016128 Some of the beams you can get off these 12v lights, even in the £100 range are quite impressive

    Do I need carpet underlay?

    I would recommend it, 'They' say you should spend just as much on your underlay as you do your carpet and they will both will last for many, many years. Without underlay, your carpets wear and tear will be emphasised around the main walking parts within a matter of months

    Fitting a new Halogen Spotlight

    When taking off the cover of the existing light, I expected to see just one cable, with three wires in it. But there is nine wires in total, although I'm mainly concerned about the neutral coloured wire (2nd from right) with live sleeving on it! The picture shows... (Left) 3 Neutrals...
