There was a crackly static noise before it died, and now when I try to turn it on I see a white spark inside the case, near the back of the tube. I'm tempted to buy a new LCD TV, they are so lightweight…

Keyboard Help

I've just tried to use the number keypad to update a spreadsheet in Excel, but when I use certain numbers I get random symbols or the…

It's an American PSP (we've lived abroad for a while, but will come back soon), would it work in the UK? If it would not, then I don't think I'll…

Superdrug dvd recorder - anyone else having problems?
I bought the bush dvd recorder from superdrug in January, when they were selling them off for £40 and it's just died on me. Anyone else having problems, or have I got a Friday one, do you think? (please move if this is in the wrong place, its just that this is the board I found it on in the first place. Thanks)
