short cirsuit on a TV power board?
I accidentally shorted the positive terminal to one of the ground terminals on the power board while measuring the input voltage to the main board on a Philips TV set. After that, whenever I power it up without the main board connected i get 3.36V at the input but when i disconnect from power, connect the main board and power the TV up again, the voltage drops to 0.05V. I know some component on the power board has died but which one? Everything is visually intact, any ideas? I can apply photos of the main and power boards if necessary. Thank you
1 AnswerTVs4 months agofacebook bugs?
I got unfriended by someone on FB and I don't see the "add friend" button for him although we have mutual friends. Is this caused by a bug or is it a recent change on FB that you cannot add back someone that's unfriended you (not declined your request, I know that you can't add them again for 1yr if they decline it)?
1 AnswerFacebook9 months agodying sound card!?
Today I reinstalled Windows 10 on my Lenovo Y520 laptop since I had to replace the hard drive. Upon one of the restarts i did, the sound started coming out only from the internal speaker, while Windows couldn t recognize the external ones. I uninstalled the audio driver for Realtek from device manager, rebooted a couple of times but to no avail. Downloaded a different Realtek driver but still could not get them to work. Tried connecting headphones, but they dont get recognized as well. Windows installed an update too, it might be the reason but I m not sure. What can I do? Is it the sound card that s dying or a drive issue? Internal speakers work, external/headphones don't. THx in advance.
2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks12 months agohard disk partition question?
So long story short, the HDD where my Windows 10 system is located is dying, found 21 bad sectors today and works intermittently. I plan on buying an SSD and installing a fresh copy of Windows 10 on it without removing the old installation and without removing the dying disk yet (there's a C: partition on the dying disk for Windows, also a D: partition for storing other files), which I will do later. Is there any way to allocate the SSD as a C: partition without losing the data on the dying drive and then change the old C: to another letter, or do I have to first change the dying disk's system partition from C: to something else and then make the new installation? Thank you in advance!

So my Logitech G19s keyboard has an issue with fast keystrokes, for example, if I press the Q key rapidly it stops registering after the 3rd stroke or if I type TATATA fast, it displays TATTT or something similar. Is it a hardware or software issue? This doesn't happen on my old G19 keyboard.
1 AnswerOther - Hardware2 years agoLaptop shuts down after a minute with an external monitor?
So here's the deal - i have connected an external ASUS VG236 23" monitor to my Lenovo Y520 laptop over HDMI. The problem is that, if I don't interact with the computer for 1 minute, it goes to sleep, which is annoying. Doesn't happen when no external monitor is connected, at least i haven't noticed.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a nice day.
4 AnswersMonitors3 years agoPopped lamp fixture/socket?
So long story short, one of my light bulbs (incandescent) blew, so I had to replace it - started unscrewing the bulb, but since it was too tightly screwed (not by me), only the glass came out and the screw remained in. And with all my stupidity i shorted the fixture through the screw that remained in it with a pair of pliers and it popped with a few sparks flying. The problem is that the other bulb stopped lighting but it was good, the filament wasn't broken inside, but the breaker DID NOT trip.
Any guess where the problem has occurred? My guess is the socket itself plus the wiring between the chandelier and the light switch (it's dimmer) Please help!

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to replace the 1/2.3" sensor on a Sony DSC-HX400V camera with a larger one like the size most mid-class DSLR cameras have, because the HX400V has a good lens, but the sensor is too small to get a good-quality picture? Thanks in advance.

5 AnswersDiet & Fitness9 years agoAcer Aspire V3-571G problem?
One month ago I bought an Acer Aspire V3-571G laptop. Ever since the first time I powered it up, I started having problems with it. It overheats to 90-95 degrees whenever I start a game like CS:S or GTA IV, and when idle the temp is 45-50 degrees. The other thing is the GPU which doesn't run 3D games at more than 30-40 FPS, so I'm forced to run the games from the built-in GPU, which i've listed in the specs below:
CPU: Intel Core i7 3610QM - 2.3 Ghz up to 3.3 GHz
GPU: nVidia GeForce GT 640M with 2GB VRAM
RAM: 8GB
DVD: Super multi-DL Drive
HDD: 1 TB
WLAN: Acer Nplify 802.11 a/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
My friend has an Acer Aspire 5755G laptop with a GeForce 630M GPU and doesn't have problems with it, and his laptop doesn't overheat too. What can be the problem with mine? Is it defective and I have to exchange it, or is there a way to fix this? Please help me thanks in advance.
