6 AnswersSoap Operas7 years agoIs there anything I can do to make a home cordless phone take a charge?
The problem isn't the batteries, the phone just doesn't seem to charge. I was told to rub the metal contacts with a pencil eraser and that did work. But it just doesn't seem to do the trick anymore.
Any recommendations on what I can do aside from replacing the handsets entirely?
1 AnswerLand Phones7 years agoWhere to replace a Droid Razr Maxx HD SD removal tool?
A while ago I developed some photos (like 2 months back) and took out my SD card as I saved my photos to it. I thought I knew where I left my removal tool after I put it back in (i did not take it to the store, I removed the card and left it at home). I went for the tool today and couldn't find it, and searching around a bit online left me stumped on how i'd replace it.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans8 years agoStains on kitchen sink from instant coffee?
I have a stainless steel sink in a house I'm moving into soon. A while back I had a visitor who made a cup of instant coffee onto my sink and spilled some onto the edge of the sink. I noticed recently that it must have made a mark and despite my best attempts to remove this stain, it refuses to fade. It gives off an almost rusty look, but has no difference in feel to the rest of the sink.
What can I do to try to remove this stain?
5 AnswersCleaning & Laundry8 years agoCell phone charger that shuts off when fully charged?
Since about 2008, I've had a powermat charger which had a great feature of turning off when the device was fully charged (preventing overcharging as I put my devices on before I head to bed). 5 years later, it's having some issues with connectivity and the indicator lights are almost burned out entirely. I looked into powermat only to discover it's not what I remember, catering to iPhone or Galaxy phone users (I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD).
I see on amazon there are some older powermat charging stations up for sale, but I'm not too sure how I feel about buying what is essentially an "outdated" model. Are there any alternative chargers (fitting a micro USB cord) that shut off when the device is fully charged?
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans8 years agoSmall black bugs in kitchen/bathroom?
My kitchen and bathroom have lots of small black bugs in them. I picked some and took them to an exterminator who told me they were "hide beetles". Short of paying hundreds of dollars to this company, does anyone know anything I can get relief from these things?
Also: Recently some started to "fly". Otherwise, they're slow and can be picked up and destroyed. An absolute certain source cannot be found, they just appear in random spots. They also predominantly come out during the day, hardly ever at night aside from stragglers from during the day who didn't get destroyed yet.

10 AnswersOther - Diseases8 years agoBlocking a number on Verizon Wireless?
Basically, there is someone I no longer wish to be in contact with. A few days ago, I went through the Verizon wireless website and followed the instructions. I hit submit, and figured it worked just fine. When low and behold...a few minutes ago I received a text from them. I went back through my blocks on verizon, it was still there. The number appeared like this on my phone though:
+1 (###) ### - #### (with their actual number, just with the +1 in front of it).
Any advice? This is just a real nuisance for me to deal with them anymore and I'd like to get this matter straightened out as soon as possible.
3 AnswersCell Phones & Plans9 years agoIntel or AMD for graphic design?
I was recently looking at a laptop for some designing on the go. It has an AMD A6-4400M processor and 8gb RAM. My current laptop has an i5-M460 with 6gb RAM (it's also about 2 years old).
I do a lot of work with 3ds max, illustrator, photoshop, and paint shop pro. So that's where the main usage would go.
Was it a good buy? Or should I return it? I just ordered it on a spur of the moment so I can still return it.
1 AnswerLaptops & Notebooks9 years agoProgram installation creators?
I'm working on a game and wanted some suggestions as to what would be a good way to put it up for download to install? I wanted to make it a .exe for easy installation. Features I'd want it to have:
-Installation of a folder into program files
-Uninstall option (for removal/replacement of bug fix versions)
-custom banners
-custom icon
-ability to add shortcut to desktop/start menu
-Windows/Mac compatibility
I read NSIS was good but when I saw it was all coding I was mildly deferred. I checked out Actual Installer but was hoping for something on the freeware basis (however, if it's a truly good one I will pay).
Any suggestions?
1 AnswerSoftware9 years agoIncorrect Amp/Voltage adapter with electronic?
I just purchased an electric bar sign (primarily for display...maybe illumination when guests come for a conversation piece) and it was label as including an AC adapter that worked with the unit, but wasn't the right amp/voltage. I know nothing about either one of those measurements for electricity, but I'd guess it's slightly over the recommended amount (if it was under I'd think it wouldn't power the unit at all). Will using it cause any damage to the sign/my home? Guess I'd fear about it shorting out and catching on fire (if it's even in the realm of possibility here).
I bought the sign mostly for show (it was a rockstar energy LED sign, never saw one before and it looked awesome for being in used condition), but didn't want to harm it if I plugged it in.
Where could I go locally to find an adapter of the right kind?
3 AnswersOther - Electronics9 years agoSevere foot cramping at night?
I'm a 61 year old woman (no major health problems). Every night I have severe foot cramping in the right leg. This is not a leg cramp. It starts in the arch of the foot and travels about 4". Severe pain until I either stand up or find something to press on with the top of the foot for about 30 seconds. Either way, sleep is impossible. It happens ONLY at night (and only when foot is straight). What can be done as preventative so I can sleep?
Thanks.
1 AnswerPain & Pain Management9 years agoBest manga art tutorial? Best manga drawing program?
I'm looking for a good tutorial on manga art. Something for virtually a complete beginner. I have some experience...like drawing The Simpsons and general sketches of cars. But still, something along the lines for a complete noob would be what I'm after.
Also any supplies recommended would be good. I picked up a set of charcoal pencils of various darknesses, and have plenty of tablet paper (leftover after classes let out for the summer) to start out with sheer basics. I know lined paper shouldn't be used, but chances are I'd scan it to my computer for inking/coloring. Which leads me to my next question...
What's the best program to do something like drawing manga art in? I tried a few general programs my friends had...so far Manga Studio Ex 4 seems like a good choice. Inkscape came in second for me. I wanted a second opinion on anyone's preference.
