Hi @wiwm , You shouldn’t have to refresh the thermal paste on your laptop yet. It’s only been out for a couple of years. If there is an overheating problem with the laptop, there should be a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty on the laptop if you are located in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa. Check the warranty statement that came with the laptop to verify what it is for your location. If the warranty period is still valid, don’t void the warranty by opening the laptop. Get it looked at under warranty

Hi @rafitas , What is the model number of the washer? Is the machine not draining at all, draining too slow in the allocated time or just not draining completely? You state "....,everything works if I lay hose on floor on draining cycle." Have you checked the drain itself to make sure that it is not clogged etc, therefore not allowing the water to flow away freely?

Hi @computertechy , 100F is not too hot for the laptop. i5 CPUs average operating temps are 120 -140F. The fact that the fan is on high speed indicates that the CPU may be getting hot due to high demand on the it or that the fan may not be extracting the heat efficiently due to dust build up etc Things to look at and try: a). Open Task Manager, (right click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager) and select the StartUp tab to view what programs are loaded on Startup of the laptop. Review if they are necessary or not (search online using the program name to see what they do to make sure) and if not right click on the particular program and select disable and see if that makes a difference. Also check the Task manager > processes tab and click on CPU to see which programs are using the CPU the most etc. Be careful as a lot of programs are necessary to the proper operation of the laptop. If you are unsure, leave them alone. b). Check in Event Viewer, (right click on Windows Start button on the left side of...

Hi, Have you checked that the laptop is actually off and not just in sleep mode or hibernation? Try holding the power button until the laptop shuts down completely and then check what happens. Have you checked all the sleep setting options in Control Panel > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Sleep to make sure that they’re what you want?

Hi, How are you trying to connect to the internet, Wifi network or mobile phone network? If mobile phone network, have you checked that the Mobile Data setting has been enabled? Go to Settings > Networks > Mobile Data, tap to turn on mobile data. If WiFi, can you find and connect to a WiFi network OK? What have you tried?

Hi @cromag , Here’s an image taken from p.93 of the service manual for the TV showing the No Video / No audio troubleshooting flowchart which may be a good place to start and also the manual has full schematics which helps. Unfortunately you have to sign up to download the manual, but if you persevere you can go through it by using the page numbers at the bottom of the document. It’s tedious but you’ll soon get the hang of it Start at p.93 and go on from there. (click on image to enlarge for better viewing)

Hi, Your phone has an IP68 rating. That means that it is water resistant, not waterproof. Also things may have happened to the phone since you’ve had it which may have damaged the water resistant integrity of the phone e.g. slight unnoticed crack or bend in the case perhaps, who knows. As you have found out water, electronics and electricity are not a good mix. The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the phone's operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion starts immediately and is ongoing until it has been properly cleaned away First do not turn on your phone and then you need to remove the battery as soon as possible from the phone to minimize any further damage. Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the phone and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion etc. Do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70%...

Hi, Do both the Power On/Off light and the Steam Ready light come on when you switch the cleaner on? Not quite sure if this is what you meant when you said”… the light goes on….” If the Steam Ready light doesn’t come on it may be a heater problem or perhaps a thermostat problem If they both do come on try clearing the machine of any buildup of mineral deposits to see if this resolves the problem

Hi, Does the screen "light up" but with no display or stay completely dark? If it stays "dark" after turning it on, try shining a torch at an angle close to the screen to check for any images that may be there. They will be very faint if there, so trying this in a darkened room may help. The questions above are only to determine if it may be a screen problem, a screen connection problem or a systemboard problem. e.g. lights up but no display means the backlight circuit is OK on both the screen and the systemboard but there is a video problem in the screen or systemboard, the LCD flex cable connection would appear to be OK e.g. stays dark with images seen using torch means a backlight problem somewhere, screen or systemboard, the LCD flex cable connection would appear to be OK e.g. stays dark no images seen using torch means a video/backlight problem somewhere, screen, LCD flex cable connection or systemboard As a DIY repair the next thing to do is to open the tablet and check the LCD screen flex cable...

Hi @roussp If you have been advised that there is water damage then the phone will have to be opened and properly cleaned of all the corrosion that is still occurring in the phone due to the water interacting with the metals and the power in the phone. The corrosion is most likely the cause of your problems The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the phone's operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion starts immediately and is ongoing until it has been properly cleaned away First do not turn on your phone and then you need to remove the battery as soon as possible from the phone to minimize any further damage. Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the phone and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion etc. Do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain additives and is not as...

Hi @captainsnowball ,

FYI

voilà French exclamation - meaning “There it is!” or “There you are!”

The “red thing” in Step 3 is most probably an IR filter, to filter out visible light to improve IR operation

Hi, As yet I haven't figured out how to amend the link to the User Guide for this radio. The one in the Repair Guide no longer exists, so here is one that still works
