Hi I have a dell inspiron 580 which came with 4 x hynix 1gb 1333mhz ram I wanted to upgrade so I bought 4 x hynix 2gb 1333mhz ddr3 sticks (second hand). When I put the new sticks in the pc wont boot up and does 2 beeps which means 'ram not detected'. Ive tried 1 stick of the new ram in each of...

Only when cistern filling. Perhaps the weight of the water is pushing the seal down?

Is it a problem? Been using this loo for 10 years and over the last week a bit of water has continued to trickle into the bowl when the toilet has finished flushing but the cistern is still refilling. Does it mean the seal between the cistern and the bowl is on its way out? Is it called a flush...

Thanks. It didn’t look quite how I expected when I took the cover off but I clicked something and it heated up :)

Hi stem & thanks for your reply. I switched the heater off and on at the wall and the consumer unit last night but still no heat today. It’s on the same off peak consumer unit as the other heaters and they are working. What can I do to fix it? You mention resetting a thermal fuse - how? I’m...

hi A storage heater in the flat I rent out has stopped working. The tenant left today and didn’t mention it. It was fine 2 weeks ago when I did an inspection but I noticed there was bedding etc drying over the top of it - could that have made it overheat and blow a fuse? The other heaters in the...

Do you mean the nut that joins the trv to the rad? The rad has worked fine for 9 years, nothing is closed on it.

I know it’s not closed because as I said in my OP the pin is stuck *fully* up, and I know what a fully up trv pin looks like. I’m on here to see if there’s a cheaper/easier solution before I go to the hassle and expense of getting a plumber in to ‘just change the valve’ (could cost up to £100...

hi 1 cold rad in our house. Taken the trv top off and the pin is stuck fully up which i believe means it’s open. I’ve hit it with a hammer but it’s not moving. Just trying wd40. Is something else inside it broken as shouldn’t the rad be stuck on if valve stuck open? Needs replacing? Trv approx...

Hi. Does it matter that I have signal set for only one input? I thought the second input was for sky+ and because I’m not using the record facility i only need one cable?

Hi I’ve just gone into the signal strength menu but the top 2 indicators arnt very helpful. Does the fact that they are empty bars mean poor signal? Or full signal? I was hoping for some sort of %. I’m attaching photos. Thanks

Hi I contacted the flat management company and they say they had issues with reception a while back but they were fixed and they’ve had no reports of issues since, until me. Can you tell me, is the sky free to view signal exactly the same signal as paying customers get? I’m wondering if paying...

Hi. When I moved to my flat 6 months ago the freeview reception through my sky box was fine, but a couple of months ago it deteriorated to the point where I can hardly get any channels and it’s stayed like that. I’ve tried using a different sky box but no improvement. I can’t contact sky as I...

I am on SEE Standard SuperDeal. It took several calls to SEE to eventually find someone who even knew about the 3 x rate deal (Day/Night/Stored) - I dont think I can bear to spend time on the phone to try and understand the timings on the deal. Anyway I am going to move to an Economy 7 deal...

Hi John. At 4pm there were no lights on the meter, at 5:30pm there was a red B light on. Cylinder came on on both those occasions. What does that mean?

You could be right! What are the odds that I checked it when that 2h was on!

Bottom one is supposed to be night time switch. But as I say or comes on when I switch it on now during the day.

Hi, yes there are two new consumer units one with sockets, lights, instant hot water. Another with the other hot water and one each for the two storage heaters in the flat. Meter is at correct time. Thanks.
