Here's the thing. I have a smallish 13" laptop , with SSD drive and Win 8.1 on. Its my own Win 8.1 with licence Its fine, no issues, but i'm going to buy a 2nd hand 17" laptop as i'm looking for a bigger screen. Now then, the laptop i'm looking at ( 2nd hand ) has an SSD drive too, but it...

Normal activity for this Lenovo is it needs charging 2 or 3 times a day for months at a time. Its only occasionally that it will keep nearly a full charge for 5 days, then it returns to normal. I dont understand why it randomly decides not to use much of its charge for maybe 5 days every couple...

I got me a Lenovo T440P and the battery is behaving in a weird manner. IN normal operation/use means it needs charging either once or twice a day. I have accidently left it after the warning to re-charge, and it powers off, which the system doesnt like that much. But at least i know the...

Uh, not what i wanted to hear. Thanks Pasty I'll stick an ad in Wanted - maybe someone has one. If i cannot get hold of one, i'll either have to find a compatible mobo, or dump the whole thing

Hi Having trouble finding an ASUS P5QC mobo to replace my current one. I realise i'm dealing with old tech here, but i'm going for a like for like replacement because i'm not confident enough to go for any other mobo. It means i can just plug everything back in and have the old board as a...

Hi folks I'm sending a camera in the post but i cannot find a courier that will insure it. Most seem to have cameras on their prohibited list PF, DPD, ParcelHero, neither of those are any good. Any suggestions ? Cheers

Yup, correct neo. No HDMI and no Optical in either. Its a fairly old amp, but a nice piece of kit. AG-H300

Yup jp, thats what i did - all's good now

I'm back again Went into Humax audio settings and changed the output from digital to stereo - job done !

I spoke too soon. Just started watching a film i recorded a couple of days ago, and the Humax remote volume has stopped working again Amp's volume is fine, but they both should be working

Yeah its a weird one i agree. I must have had Anynet disabled on the previous Samsung TV, because i didnt have that problem

Pint of vino collapso awaits you at the bar :) PS Samsungs own CEC is called Anynet - the googling revealed the name and i found it in the settings

Ok googled it, and found CEC was enabled even though i always use the original remotes for all my devices, so have disabled CEC Thanks furry ! This has cleared up the problem in record time. Have a pint on me

Not sure what CEC is , furry ?

I've got my Humax HDR FOX T2 freeview box hooked up to a Samsung UE43M5500 via HDMI , and the optical audio out from the TV to a Teac AV amp. No optical in on the Teac so i use an opt./phono converter. Works fine My problem is that audio on live viewing through the Humax is fine using the Humax...

Plusnet also advise not turn it off and on too much and as i've had the thing for only a couple of days now, it hasnt been. The laptop is as follows. Reasonable spec, i assume. Nothing outrageous Its a Thinkpad with Win 8.1 , 12gb ram, Intel i-5 4200m 2.5ghz, crucial 250gb SSD

Dammit. Thanks Aharvey Just had another go, realised that by default, the tags bar was adding a tag ( ? ) that i didnt notice. All i had to do was to hit the X Posted now in the right forum Thanks everyone

I'm a bit untechy with stuff like Modems and Routers, so take that into account ta My first FTTC internet was with BT ( 40 mb DL tops in my area, got 39 ish ) Not a bad service until you need to call CS. 99 out of 100 , i couldn't understand the person on the phone, and you can only ask ...
