Very interesting reply's. As like you I suspected a loose charging socket, after stripping the laptop down to the motherboard I found that the charging socket was sound, no brake in the solder joint or loose pins. But I find the PSU shut down theory very interesting. I will connect the PSU leads...

Hi I have problem with my Asus laptop charging. After plugging in the power supply the only way to get the charging light to stay on was to move the wires going into the power supply plug. When the light did stay on, the laptop would fully charge. I assumed I had a broken wire in the charging...

Can you have too many PIR sensors? I live in a 3 bedroom bungalow every room has PIR sensor's except the bathroom. While on holiday recently the alarm went off, no attempted break in. My neighbours were not at all happy, 20 minutes is still a long time be annoyed for no reason. The panel showed...

Thank you Lucid, spot on with your diagnosis. I did find some leaking and domed caps, new ones on order. Hardest part was stripping the TV, I didn't realise they were using adhesive for the display on that age of set. Thanks again

I need to varnish some stripped pine doors. I have a lot of surplus water based varnish, which is satin finish. The existing doors in the house have been varnished with a matt finish polyurethane varnish. Can I use the surplus water based varnish for the first coats, then finish with the last...

Thank you very much, that is an amazing answer, such a detailed description. This is of great help, has given me a good idea of what I'm looking for. And a interesting history of these sets

Thank you for your quick reply, yes I agree I just gave a description from the retailer. Yes it would have to add other parts, tuner etc.

I have a Logic TV, which is apparently a converted computer monitor with speakers added by the manufacturer to sell it as a TV. When I first switch on the set there is sound but no picture, after switching the set off and on again I get a picture, the set works as normal after that. Any help...

After putting down wasps nest killer the activity around the wasps roof entrance has stopped. Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions

I did take some pictures but file size was too big, I will post some low resolution pictures shortly.

Hi all Noticed a lot of wasps flying around the corner of my roof, after talking a closer look I could see that they were entering my roof through badly fitted roof tiles. As a professional myself, not in the building trade, it must make the genuine builders like yourselfs furious to see this...

Hi Recently move house, have mixture of TVR's, no two the same, no idea how old they are some look new, others very old. Is there any way to test them? Some appear to work but would be good to know for sure. Thank you for any help given

Unfortunately the hot tap runs for 30 seconds At a flow rate of 5 sec / 1L = 6 Ltrs which is 3 to 6 times the volume of the pre-heater vessel.

No reduction in the hot water through the boiler, really good flow from taps and shower.

When I fitted the shower it was obvious which the hot and cold supply pipes were, l could feel the temperature difference quite easily. My water pressure is very good, so the stop cock is throttled back. I will look into getting some fittings for the shower test.

Unfortunately I have resealed the bath panel (maybe to premature) but I can follow the pipes from the floor to the tap inlet, and it's a straight run without any other pipe work attached. I don't have any fittings to blank of the shower. Do you think it's likely that a brand new shower from one...

I fitted a brand new Mira Atom EV Thermostatic bar mixer. The bath tap is a none mixer. I have attached pictures from under the bath. The bungalow was built in 1980. We have only lived in the property for just over a year, so can't say when the bathroom was installed.
