Well there goes that idea lol. Thanks for the reply.

Hey everyone, I am currently in the process of redoing my living room and original plan was just to have 3 devices for my av setup but now I have had a change of plans and now I need space for at least 5 or 6 so need to make my opening wider. Here is an image showing what I was original going...

Hey, thanks for a reply, how much am I likely to pay to get this done? I have got up into the loft and I can see light shining through in a couple of places, only very slightly, like less than 1cm square holes and only in 2 places, also the felt feels lose in places and looks like part of it...

Hey everyone, a neighbour just pointed out that a few of my roof tiles have fallen off, not really sure what I should do about this so any advice would be appreciated. Picture http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7720/imag0384.jpg

Sounds like the backlight has gone in the screen, you got any pictures of the faulty and it should be easy enough to confirm, changing the ccfl tube can be pretty difficult so sometimes it may be easier to replace the entire screen,. watch out on dell laptops though as you need an original dell...

Cheers for that, just tried turning all the other radiators off and those 2 are heating up, will get the thermometers at the weekend and give this a go. Thanks.

Hey everyone, since draining and refilling my central heating system 2 of my radiators are not heating correctly although I cant be sure that they were heating before as I have not lived here all that long so could be that I have only noticed it, It is oil fired central heating and the 2...

It looks fairly standard from the pictures although impossible to tell without actually seeing one, try taking it down to your local computer store (not pcworld etc) and ask them for their advice on it, they should be able to check it out for you. All the connections should be standard but...

Is this something I can do myself? Quotes for a door fitted etc are coming in at around £500 all in I have been told you can pick up doors with all you need for about £200 so this sounds very tempting! Old door is just a crappy wooden thing and want to change it for a upvc double glazed door...

I searhced everywhere and even tried the vista ones, none of them worked. I have done many installs using nlite and intregated sata drivers so I am not new to this, just for my laptop I couldnt find one that worked.

You may notice a slight performance increase by doing it the proper way but to be honest it would hard to tell, I had to disable that option in my bios for laptop to get XP on it as I could not find a suitable driver for XP and it runs just fine. Dont forget you need to buy a license to use...

I have a Marantz SR4500 AV Receiver with tannoy fusion 4 floor standers and centre speaker, gonna purchase some rears to match. Not got my TV yet but will be buying a 50" Panasonic plasma, just got a crap 37" lcd tv atm. Speakers are bi-wired at the minute using some gale 400 cable so will be...

Does it still show the time etc? What operating system are you running? When did the problem start?

From the top of my head these use the nvidia graphics chip, these fail very regularly in most laptops but in this gateway it has a very badly designed heatsink, the chip will need to be reflowed or reballed. In both cases it might not be economical to do unless you can do this yourself as it...

Whatever I do cant be worse than it was before lol! I plan to be here for at least 10 years although there's no reason I wont live here for the rest of my life. Floor is floorboards and will be recarpeted, is it worth lifting floorboards to run the cables or will running them on top of the...

Cheers! All on and no leaks so far although not sure how long it would take water to work its way down, last thing I want is water leaking all over my AV equipment! Luckily it isnt going in for a few weeks so hopefully any leaks will show themselves before then.

Thanks for the replies, chimney runs through the middle of the house and is not on an outside wall if this makes any difference. What is the best way to route cables through the fireplace, I need cables to run from the opening to above the fireplace for the tv, I will also need to bring...

Cheers! just what i wanted to hear, so as long as the ring fits over and it and the cut isn't an extreme angle all should be ok? Also I have never used a compression fitting before, is it just a case of putting the bits on and tightening or should I do anything else?

I am blocking a few pipes off but due to lack of space and the pipes being so close together I can not get a pipe cutter to go all the way around them, can I just cut the pipes using a hacksaw and then put the compression stop ends on? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey everyone, my fireplace looked like this last week http://app2.propertynews.com/images/large/36792993.jpg It currently looks like this (I have removed all the lose filling stuff now) http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/8963/image346.jpg My plan is to mount the TV on the wall and...
