  • Galaxy will not charge when plugged in?

    Okay the phone powers on but is now down to 5% power and I have it off to save what little power it has. I have tried the the charger that came with it, both of my kind chargers the one that came with it and a aftermarket one, my portable anker charger and an old blackberry charger but nothing charges it. causes the orange light to come on, make the large battery appear on the screen or that little lighting bolt battery appear. Yesterday It charged to 100% but lately had connection sensitivity in the usb port. Today it would not charge at all. the battery to phone cotacts are very clean as are the contacts that the phone charges from. I have 3 day ordered a battery charger to see if it is the battery or not but i will have to wait for that. Is this a common problem?

  • pc building question?

    i have almost certainly decided to build my pc but i have a question. A friend told me that although each part comes with a warranty it is difficult to claim them due to you assembling the machine and i was wondering how true that is like for instance if i perfectly assembled the computer and then half way through the warranty the ram fails, would that be blamed on me?

  • the great pyramid of giza?

    OK what was the pyramid built for and how was it built. I've seen scientific proof that show that some stones were fired from a clay to stone in its intended position making moving the stones unnecessary also other proof that stats the supposed sarcophagus was too big to get in the pyramid which means it was placed before completion and that goes against burial rituals
