Faded windows key
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help please? I have an old packard bell laptop which I don't really use due to it being slow (and use my chromebook instead).

Both companies send information to their 'staff' using Office 365 attached to emails. We can't open these attachments on our home computer as we don't have Office 365 & the companies say…

Connecting Freesat box to old satellite dish
We've just moved into a house with a satellite dish. There's no aerial so we're trying to get TV via Freesat. There are two cables coming from the satellite dish which end up cut off in the cellar without any end pieces.

Andriod Smishing attack!
I've just had a security alert on my LG G3. It's reporting smishingexploit.A, which I find is something connected to sms fishing attacks.

Yet another "How to choose a printer" thread

We'll have a need for fairly low usage - our needs have increased lately, to the giddy heights of around 20 copies per month, so hopefully we can avoid having the thing dry…

Hitachi 40" Lip Sync
Morning all, I bought a Hitachi 40" TV from Argos in 2012. 3 years it's been a good servant but now it has the worst lip syncing issues. Within 15 minute of beginning watching, the sound is inevitably out of time and makes shows nearly unwatchable. I don't have the receipt. Do I have any rights to say that the TV should…

Laptop help please....
I don't know a great deal about technology, but my laptop appears to be malfunctioning. It's getting on a bit now, around 5 years old. When I open the 'computer' tab which displays disc drives, other devices and hard drive it appears there are two separate hard drives. One has around 300 gb, much of which is free space.…
