Have just finished clearing out gunk from the under-the-sink pipes. Didn't note down the position of the pipes before disassembly. Just connected everything up, after several hours of frustration of trying different pipe connections, and finally ending up with what you see. Not sure if have the...

The knob on the side of my shower tap (faucet) which controls hot and cold water has become stiff over the past few months. I plan to replace the unit. It looks like in the link below. (Sorry, Finnish text.) Left side controls water flow pressure...

I recently had a Triax Unix 100 digi/analog UHF outdoor antenna (17 dB) installed on my home's wall. It's on a 6 m. mast, so high up there outdoors. Just wondering -- my present antenna outlet indoors in the living room is a Teleste 061 (metal thingy). I read that that means it's a 6 dB...

My electric oven rim's gasket has torn off on several parts after 8 years of use. It's a Scandinavian oven -- Helkama, model number G 6745 (60 cm). I've now removed the oven door, and bolts at the back of the oven interior space, but still don't have full enough access to get all the crumbling...

Wanted opinions. I'm about to buy a Kärcher. Lots of choice for sure. Lots of models. I wanna regularly clean my car and many outdoors items, like plastic chairs, and garden stuff, like paving stones. Would I be better off with the 2-series Kärcher, or is that only for occasional use? What...

I just bought a new set of Philips Multilife 1.2 V NiMH rechargeable batteries (AA). They're 2600 NiMH. Thing is, I really wanna maximize the use of these, and get as many years of use out of 'em as poss. My last set of rechargeables had a disappointing lifespan. I've heard that correct...

Ok folks, next question -- my oven's seal has torn off on several parts. The oven's now in its 8th year of use. Is that rubber seal easily replaced, and how is it done? I've already removed the inner door of the oven, to clean the grease off that, and that involved removing several screws...

At the back of my Siemens bar-fridge, water is constantly building-up at the back of the fridge where there's a channel with a pinky-finger sized hole in the centre. This means that there's a regular puddle of water inside the fridge, under the vegetable-bin. Every now and then, I've cleared...

Hey folks, I have Norton IS 2006 on my PC right now. The 1-yr's membership has now expired. I've got a few Qs, and would appreciate answers and opinions to guide me -- thanks!: 1) Is F-Secure IS 2007 any good? (Thinking of changing brands for my new IS program.) 2) Are all Norton...

Hey folks, My hard drive's now caput. (Luckily, it's under warranty.) When the new 160 GB replacement comes from the manufacturer, I was thinking of getting 160 GB or 320 GB more added, in the available slot inside the tower drive. Should I also increase my tower drive's memory, to 1 GB...

The manual says simply hook into a USB port, and that thereafter Data Traveller II Plus will be displayed in the "My Computer" utility as a "Removable Disk." Well, this isn't happening. Please advise asap! Cheers, RS :wink:

Noob here, and totally green at continuity measurement, etc. Sorry. :shock: Anyways, I just bought a digi multimeter, and would appreciate safety guidance on its use. 1) If I were to test continuity, amps, whatever, with the multimeter, for instance under a car hood context, is it safe to...

Hey folks, I have Win XP. Want to see how much disk space I have on several of my CD-Rs and RWs. Which program do you all use? Which program would you recommend? If you recommend XP, how do I access the media disk space detector -- I have no desktop right now, so please tell me the folders...

Hey folks, I recently tried to copy data onto CD-RWs using Window XP's default program. I find the program cumbersome. The message I get when I want to add data to a CD-RW is that I should insert a blank CD-R or RW. But the thing is -- the disk is only half full. What the heck? Anyone else...

Ok, this is my prob...I don't see my desktop anymore. I'm running Windows XP. After start up, I get the message: "THIS APPLICATION HAS FAILED TO START BECAUSE WININET.DLL WAS NOT FOUND. REINSTALLING THE APPLICATION MAY FIX THE PROBLEM." At the moment, I can access parts of my hard drive, but...

Folks, I have a ASUS A7N8X-E DELUXE NFORCE2 LAN DDR400, sata. The store told me some time ago that I have a wired network card which is integrated onto the ASUS motherboard. I just bought a wireless Linksys WRT54G router. I already have an ADSL modem. 1) Will my wired network card...

Folks, I'm considering buying this wireless broadband router from Amazon.com, but the big issue is about voltage. Interested in this Linksys router, but the Amazon blow-up pic of it shows, naturally, a power adaptor with the standard North American two-pins. This makes me think that it's...
