    Sash Window Help

    That looks like a spiral balance to me. As was suggested you put your finger in the oval latch and slide towards the centre of the window to disengage. What exactly is the problem with the window?

    Help purchasing internal moulded doors

    They can be trimmed down but if you take 2" off the bottom you will cut off the bottom rail. You will have to get this out of the off cut and glue and clamp it back in the door.

    coat hooks onto wall or wood?

    Generally it's a lot easier to fix the hooks to a batten and then fix the batten to the wall. The hooks may only have a small screw hole meaning that only a thin screw can be used and also it is harder to get the correct alignment direct into masonry.

    Worktop Bubble

    There are some specialist worktop repairers out there but it isn't a diy job if you want the repair to be invisible, however you could fit a chopping board or hotrods over the area.

    Measuring trickle vent area

    Acer Aspire 5536 keyboard and touchpad problem

    Thanks a lot unseen and monkeh. I had seen the loose cable suggested on other forums but I couldn't see why it would work after a reboot. The laptop was an insurance replacement for one that was stolen so I've been in touch with the insurers and they're sorting it out. Once again, many thanks.
