External HD wont read?
Ok I have a 3tb Western digital HD and it has a lot of stuff on it that i don't want to lose. This afternoon it was working fine then when i tried copying things onto it it kept coming up with this error message so i unplugged it and plugged it back in. Now my computer wont recognize it, i have been into device manager and it doesn't appear in there and also tried restarting the computer with it plugged in and no luck with that either. The light on the back that usually flashes when its reading something is flashing so its obviously trying to work but my computer wont read it. My housemate also has a 1tb Western Digital HD and i plugged that in and no problems at all, i have since tried switching usb cords and that still does nothing. If anybody could help it would be much appreciated i would hate too lose everything on it. Thanks
2 AnswersAdd-ons8 years agoBroken mini usb port on hd?
I have a 3 Tb hard drive or media center rather, the mini usb port for some reason has been pushed inside and i can hear it rattling around. Now without this the hard drive is nearly useless i cant update anything on it. Is it possible to fix and if so how much roughly would something like this cost? I am not good with electronics so i don't want to take it apart in case i make it a lot worse. I am pretty sure it would be an easy fix just wanting to know before i go to somebody and they try to charge me excessively, thanks
2 AnswersCamcorders9 years agoHow to work out spacing for timber balustrading?
If you already know balustrading its just basically a handrail (top and bottom rail) between two posts you will have upright timber balustrades, i need to know how to work out exact spacing. I know there is a way just cant think of it. e.g. if the distance between the 2 posts is say 2 meters and my balustrading is 62mm wide, how would i work out the exact space between them over that distance, also there has to be a space at the start and end, meaning it cant end on a board being hard up to the post.. any help would be much appreciated

1 AnswerLaptops & Notebooks9 years agoI took my ps3 controller apart and now the L2 and R2 don't seem to spring back?
they work perfectly fine, well nearly perfectly accept for the fact they don't have back pressure to push them out. I have watched the YouTube videos and the spring seems to be in the right position but the videos aren't to helpful, has anyone else had this problem?
2 AnswersPlayStation9 years agoMy ps3 controllers L2 button sticks..?
I have read all over the internet about buttons sticking and dumb *** replies ensue, my problem is that the L2 button sticks a little but when i put my finger behind it and push it out it comes off, i have realized this in dirt 3 due to my brake lights are continually on and when i press it outwards they go off. Does anyone have any realistic answers to this? I have ordered a new controller but in between that time and now it would be much appreciated. Sort of over bad lap times due to im always unintentionally on the brake lol
