Hello all, Help or advice please. My daughter is looking to extend to the rear of her property, with a public sewer/drain running across the rear. Please see the attached PDF. She would like a full width extension, with the existing manhole sealed permanently, and a new double sealed...

Hello, help or advice please. Beko fridge freezer door light not working. I checked the bulb in another appliance and works fine so I presume the problem is with the light fitting or possibly the fridge electrics.. The freezer is working okay, the fan still works and after 4 days everything...

Thanks for the replies, it looks like the hard drive has gone. Is it just a case of replacing like for like and re-installing windows? Thanks again.

Hello all, Help or advice please. Daughter`s Toshiba Satelite laptop crashed. The above error notification was shown, I rebooted and played with the F keys for a while. Managed to get it working but then crashed again. Now when I start up I cannot get into windows and get the start up...

As an update, I ``pretended`` to fix the problem. I actually sat upstairs watching the football for a couple of hours used a bit of negative psychology, and she is convinced it is sorted. She is of the opinion that I spent several hours sorting the problem, so therefore it is.

Thanks dcdec, I may try a ``sliver`` of the same paper and try slot it it in, the gaps are 10 inches long at the most.

Hello all, help or advice please. I have hung wall paper in the upstairs bedroom, like I have done many times before. I always allow for shrinkage in the vertical joints and butt up. For some reason the wallpaper has shrunk more than normal, and one or two of the vertical joints, there is a gap...

Who would pay the local authority fees for building control and possibly planning? I doubt your landlord would cough up.

Is he an architectural tech or a fully qualified architect? (I know.. a contradiction in terms). I doubt a tech would need or have any indemnity insurance. I would have thought that the person who would need indemnity insurance would be the structural engineer to qualify the calcs.

Thank you for the replies and advice, apologies for not replying earlier, it has taken me time to find another charger that fits. It is defo NOT the charger, so I suspect the connection to the laptop inlet (or whatever they call it has gone). Thanks again

Hello all, help or advice AGAIN please. After my daughter`s laptop died a while back, I think mine has gone too. It was running okay, then the low battery light and beeping started, then the laptop went dead, I presume out of charge. The charger has a light on but it seems the power is...

Many thanks for the constructive advice and replies. Just to update, I had a local IT expert give it a diagnostic once over before I binned it, and indeed the motherboard and screen were finished. He also backed up the remaining files. Now I go shopping to the PC store. Thanks again

Thanks for the replies, yes I do a back up every week. The reason I want to save the hard drive is that there are a couple of albums added since last back up. If it is more cost effective to just buy the new albums, then so be it.

Hello again, I am not confident pulling it apart, so may pay for expert help. It is a Dell Inspiron 1545, less than 2 years old. To re-cap, does not start up, no screen, after about two minutes of switching on, it emits the beeps, in groups of 4, ie 1 beep, 2 beep, 3beep, 4 beep, small gap...

Hello all, help or advice please. My daughter dropped her laptop down the stairs, although some of the plastic trim had cracked or fell off, it still worked apart from the DVD drive being stuck. This was 3 months ago. Last night it would not boot up, no screen or nothing. What did happen was...

Help or advice please. I hope I have the correct forum for this, if not I will repost. There are metering access panels on the outside of a building that is to have an extension. The outside wall will now become internal. Is there any regulation that says these access panels must be on the...

Are you a member of any professional group like the FSB? If so give them a call as most offer free legal advice. It is a shame that this has happened to you, as I and many others appreciate the advice you give willingly for free. Hope it works out. Just a thought, if you are 100% it has been...

I have the same set up in the bedrooms on a second sky box (independant fro downstairs). I was told by a sky engineer when he set it up that...the remote volume will only work with the parent tv which is hard wired to the box. ie; not the tv connected via the magic eye.

Had the exact same problem. I used a hammer to bang down on the handle. It unlocked the door, but left the handle ``floppy``, still able to lock and unlock though. I would only recommend this as a last resort, as I was told by a builder the only alternative was to cut out the door.

Thanks for the replies and advice. The top screw WAS hidden by a solid brass cap which I thought was part of the handle. Had to use a knife to remove, to damaged to replace. I started removing the handle and noticed a keyhole shaped spring, could you tell what this is for before I pull the...
