repair

I picked up the Switch for the first time in ages to do some sofa gaming while trash is on telly. The left Joycon stick seems to have become “sticky”. In the calibration screen left/right responds pefectly, but up/down seems floaty, sometimes responding perfectly, but mostly it wanders, and...

My husband in June last year (2023) purchased a 2021 Peugeot 2008. This was from a Peugeot Franchise and was classed as approved used. They sold this car with a Peugeot 3 year warranty and an approved used 1 year warranty. In all honesty, I’ve never favoured Peugeot nor Citroen and had ranted...

Couldn't find any post related of any repairs/diagnostics done for Dell/Alienware monitors that are outside of warranty. Monitor was bough in Nov.2019 from Dell UK directly, and been happily using it since then without any issues - until a few months ago when I have noticed that text wasn't as...

Hi folks, I've got a Gigabyte G7 MD which has succumbed to 2x broken hinges, a screen that is now totally kaput + cracked plastic in a bunch of places. Had a similar issue with the hinges on my old Aorus laptop a few years ago and got it sorted with the old service people at mendIT who sent me...

Hi, I am experiencing some issues with my Gigabyte 3080 Eagle where I am encountering an (unrecoverable) black screen anytime my PC goes under load. I have tried and tested everything and all signs point to the GPU being at fault as I have tested it in another system with the same issue...

I am looking to buy a monitor from OCUK and just wanted some further clarification. If I get the monitor and the item is faulty after 30 days (as i understand it, I can get a refund or replacement within 30 days if there's a fault), and I send it in for repairs, who pays for the repair ? Is it...

Hi all, I'm new here, I have a Asus rog 1660 super with no display.. I set it up in my pc and booted the system up, all was well for 30 seconds then I went to no display, after investigating one of my power cables were leaning on one of the fans and had stopped it turning, Now no matter what I...

Unfortunately someone drove into my car as it was parked over night (presuming drink driver) and drove off without leaving any information. The damage is only to the rear left wheel arch and is quite a large dent. Is this worth going through insurance and possibly affecting no claims or just...

Hi folks, I have a Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Dual card that has no video output and either blue screens or displays a Code 10 (or 43, can't remember which, been a while) in Windows / driver init error in Linux. I have reflowed the main GPU IC myself (using some flux and a hot air rework station...

Hi all, I find myself needing to send my Aorus 7 laptop for repair again. It won't power on and appears to be the same issue at last time. I really want to discuss it with customer services but I can't find a phone number for Aorus / Gigabyte in the UK and the tickets take an age to get a reply...

Hi guys and gals I am kinda new to this so I thought I'd ask opinions first, I recently acquired a nivida gpu (I assume palit by the power layout) however I have no idea what the card is Looking at the ram slots I am guessing a 1080 11gb however I am not sure on where to start the repair (if...

Hi all, my apologies if this is in the wrong place as I'm new here. I'm slightly confused by the RMA policy on in-warranty faulty graphics cards; I've been told I need to pay for shipping myself, despite being sent a prepaid label last year (I didn't end up sending the GPU as I needed it for...

Hello all! I’m a relative newbie to tech but have tinkered for many years. I’m still barely a beginner though. I’m after a wise mind to help with this monitor. If it’s not an impossible task, what would be needed to firstly power this monitor, but secondly connect it to HDMI or DVI. Thanks in...

Morning everyone. We have noticed on the corner of our extension that the felt has started to crack and separate. Obviously worried that this will eventually lead to water ingress we called a local roofer to come and look at it who is advising we get the whole roof felt replaced. This is only a...

I have had this kettle for just over 4 years now, but in recent weeks, it has stopped working properly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LA4BPXQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A25ZILSVS15GW5&psc=1 Sometimes, it refuses to start boiling when I flick the switch. But most of the time, it...

Hi everyone, Today I had a mishap, error of judgment whilst parking !!! I scuffed my wheel on the kerb, not massive damage but it’s annoying ! Anyone had a similar problem with these types of wheels ? They’re not big standard alloys and have to be the expensive BMW kind . any help I would...

Yes I know its old technology - but we all have our embarrassments! I have quite a lot historic music / radio programmes recorded. I don't use it to record things any more in these days of radio streaming / catch up. It's just annoying. Sometimes listen to old Andy Kershaw "world music"...

Hi everyone, I've been looking for the best place to have my car repaired and re-painted. My only thought is because it's a three stage pearl that I should pick wisely as it's much harder to get right. I've been recommended somewhere by my local dealership where they have their cars done I went...

Thinking of buying a non-working GPU, an XFX RX580 8GB that someone near me is selling. They haven't responded to my Qs about what exactly is 'non-working' about it, but they only want $60 so I'm wondering if there's any 'known issues' or easy repairs with these cards? Anyone have any...

Bought a f1 add on wheel online and came damaged, right up shift doesn’t work. I don’t have access to a iron kit. Does anyone maybe have any ideas on a alternative or someone who sells the shifters already Iron on to the electrical board?
