    Ceiling fan has slowed down

    Hi everyone. I have 3 of these ceiling fans/lights. Here is a link to the fan: https://is.gd/mNrV62 I have had them for about 5 years. They have 3 speed settings. One of them slowed down to about half of the speed that it should be. I have cleaned all of the dust off the 3 blades. That didn't...

    Fleck Water Heater tripping the power (Spain)

    Has anyone used these water heaters before? I'm renting a home and the landlord insists on this heater as he installed one when we moved in. I've lived here 7 years and we're on our 3rd one. The first one died after a year by leaking everywhere. The second one lasted 2 and a half years but also...

    Anyone know what is causing this startup error

    I have a Lenovo IdeaPAD y700. Recently the HDD died. So I took the opportunity to add two SSD's to the machine. a 256GB NvMe SSD for the Operating System (Windows 10) and a SATA SSD of 1TB for storage. Drives C and D. I redirected the downloads folder from C to D. I have had some teething...

    X360 Emulator not working for FIFA 21

    I posted in the hardware thread the other day, but the more I try to fix the issue the more I can see it is obviously a software issue. The controller I am using is working fine. Here is the situation anyway. I am trying to add an X360 emulator to my Windows 10 X64 Gaing Laptop. I am trying to...

    Windows 10 x360 emulator for FIFA 21 not working

    I am running a gaming laptop here with all the right specs to run FIFA 21. I have encountered this issue before on previous versions of FIFA. I have a generic USB wireless game controller, and so I get the X360 emulator for the 64 bit operating system. I download the file to the game's location...

    SATA SDD disappearing or corrupting often

    My SATA hdd dies and I lost all of my data. I took the opportunity to fit an NVMe 256GB main disk drive to run windows 10 and then added a SATA SDD for storage. A month after running this system the SATA storage drive disappeared. I removed it and refitted it but it didn't come back. Then the...

    Tiling with silicon

    This is probably crazy, but some tiles have gone up in the bathroom of my house, which were fixed to the wall using silicon. That was a surprise enough for me, as I'd never heard of that done before, but of course, now there is silicon all over the tiles, dried in. What would be the best method...

    Panasonic Viera large screen TV

    I bought one of these second hand yesterday. It weights a tonne! Anyway, I have a few questions. First of all, is it wall mountable and will it require a very different support bracket to the typical wall mountable TVs? But more importantly, I cannot understand the remote control. I want to...

    Filler tips

    I have added a new interior door to a new bathroom in the house. The surround of the door frame was quite hollow. I stuffed it full of pieces of wood and rubble to get it a bit 'fuller'. Then I added filler from a ready made tub. I did it about 12 hours ago and while most of it is hard dried...

    Is there a good alternative to Revolut?

    Hello everyone. I have tried to download revolut on my phone but I cannot find the app in the play store. So I tried their desktop version, and when I tried that, they asked for my phone number to send me a link. The link lead me to the play store app, however, there were red letters underneath...

    Carbon Monoxide Alarm

    I have a carbon Monoxide alarm in the house. I keep it there even though my cooker is electric and so is the water heater. There is a gas fire, one of those portable ones but it hasn't been on in a few days. I plugged in my iron to iron a shirt and the alarm starts beeping. 4 beeps at regular...

    Washer/Dryer leak

    I have an Indesit Washer Dryer WIDL126S. Last week when in use it was so noisy. I suspected that the drum was not spinning correctly, and assumed that the belt may have come loose to some degree. The machine was full and in mid wash, so I just allowed it to finish and then took a look. Sure...

    What are the signs of a hacked mobile phone? Scary story this one!

    This is a scary and unusual one. I live with three girls. This morning at around 530 am, one of the girls woke everyone in the house to say that her phone 'turned itself on' and she could hear a voice repeating the following 'there are three girls in the house and they must die'. Terrifying and...

    How to add something like this to a website I'm designing

    Hi, I'm designing a website for a business idea that I have. I have designed websites before, using wordpress and even using dreamweaver. But even at that, I am by no means an expert and those designs were almost 10 years ago now. I can see that a lot of host providers allow unlimited disk...

    Which Audio Cable do I need for this?

    {IMG}https://ibb.co/SwGPZPj{/IMG} I hope I've used the correct code for the image. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if someone told me what audio cables I need to buy for this speaker. It runs from a single phono out to these two strange terminals? I'd losing my mind trying to find a solution...

    Indesit Washer/Dryer not emptying

    I have an old Indesit Washer/Dryer. Believe it or not I have it about 11 or 12 years!! That is mad in this day and age. I remember after about 18 months, the motor failed. I called a technician out and he suggested that a new machine might be the best approach. But for whatever reason, I told...

    Speaker Cable problem for Desktop Studio Monitors

    I have a set of 20Watt Skytec Desktop studio monitors. I packed them away a few years ago, and now I want to use them again but I cannot find the cables. The way they work is as follows. One speaker is powered and the plug comes out of that one. There is also a power dial, which acts as an on...

    I wasn't sure whether to post this in hardware or software, but after much thought, I think it belongs in software, simply because from a hardware perspective, all seems to be fine. But I have an issue and here it is: i have a smart tv, brand name is INVES so not very common, I know, and I...

    My friend's home WiFi works fine with her smartphone and her Smart TV. However, her tablet won't connect to it and her Desktop PC won't connect to it either. We have tried the tablet and the Desktop on the neighbours WiFi and they connect fine to the neighbours WiFi. When I try to connect with...
