Hi, it's been a few years since I've been on here. I got caught up with lots of work and didn't have time for online things. But who knows, maybe things will slow down for me now! Anyway, the problem; Seat Ibiza car, belongs to my sister in law. Her key fob wouldn't unlock or lock the car and...

I have one of those fleece dreamland electric blankets. It's a double size and there are two plug/power supplies, one for each side. One side has failed. So I checked the power cable from the failed side, in the good side and it was fine. I then checked the power cable from the good side in the...

I have an Iomega 1.5TB USB External Hard Disk Drive. LDHD-UP2 is the number listed on the enclosure. It is a 3.5 inch drive with a power supply. It has been running well for a few years. Today I plugged it in, and got the sound notification for a USB device, but the (white)light on the unit...

I have a HP Pavilion P6 Desktop PC. It was running windows 8 and just before Christmas I updated to Windows 10. I'm regretting it now mind you. However, all was well until Friday. Windows update ran and restarted my PC. My wireless adapters haven't worked since. They WERE still listed in...

So a friend of mine upgraded from windows 8 to windows 10 about 6 months ago. However, she cannot find several of her photos which had been on her Windows 8. They weren't all in the my images or my pictures folder either. They were in their own individually named folders. It's a HP Desktop PC...

Ok, so for a few weeks, my laptop would load up and the screen would be split in three. First third would be normal, second third would be black and final third would be white. Three thick stripes down my screen. Normal/Black/White. I was told that my video cable was probably loose. So, I...

One thing gets fixed and another thing starts! :mrgreen: My stereo never asked for a code, once I got it all sorted from the battery etc and it was working just fine for the past week until today. Now, it loses it's signal for 1 or 2 seconds, every 5 or 6 seconds. It's like an elaborate...

Hi, I just bought a mini projector. It comes with VGA and AV sockets as well as SD card and USB sockets. The idea is that I can plug a memory stick or an SD card into it and play media from there in MP4 format. I was hopeful that there was a way to connect the device to my external virtual 5.1...

My dishwasher has started shorting out. Basically, it has been showing a leak warning sign for a long time, but the floor underneath and behind hasn't been wet and so I assumed that maybe it's a false report. However, recently, the machine shorted out and tripped a switch in the fusebox...

I've had to add 1/2 litre of oil to my car twice in the last 6 weeks. I have checked for blue/white smoke and for creamy residue and I'm not getting that at all. But today I noticed some wet oil around the entrance of the dip stick. There seems to be a splash of oil down the side of the engine...
