    Hi there guys, My friend (honestly! - I'm still stuck with the 4th gen iPod Nano) has dropped her iPod touch into a deep puddle of water on the way to college this morning. Is it possible for it to recover from water damage? What do you recommend? I remember finding out my phone had been in the washing machine years ago in my school blazer, and despite drying it out for days, it never actually worked again. She only got it for christmas and it was the 32GB one so it's a lot of money down the drain (no pun intended). According to apples website it's not covered for water damage. I have searched the internet and there has been varying info on how to fix it, some have …

    I typed all this out once and then my browser crashed so I'll summarise New video Card for my PC 3 outputs on the video card - DVI, HDMI and VGA I have 2 screens I want to feed - one only has VGA input (so VGA to VGA will sort that one) and the other (my TV) has SCART and composite inputs Thus - I have to find a way to connect either a DVI or a HDMI connection to either SCART or Composite inputs. I'm not fussed about retaining the HD element and I want to find the cheapest possible working solution - any suggestions because I'm coming up stumps as to whether I can just buy a HDMI to Scart cable. Eventually I will probably just buy a new TV but until then I want to f…

    Topic. I'm having problems with O2 webmail again! I just went on the O2 web site to check my mail, logged in as normal, clicked on webmail, there's nothing there! I've refreshed the page several times to see if it's a cache issue, but to no avail. I know the previous problem was because I checked my mail on my Iphone, and you have to wait a while after doing that before it shows up on the web again, but I haven't checked my mail on the Iphone since this morning. Can anyone tell me what the problem is before I make a pointless and probably highly annoying phone call to O2 tech support?

    Okay so i'm having problems with my PSP. The thing is that the D-Pad has gone all haywire, happened about two months back, and does not seem to work on some days, on other days it works fine. Then my PSP is controlling itself and hitting the circle command without me even touching it. I can still play UMD's and music and upload stuff on it. Just the fact it's gone and done a short circuit on me.... Should i take it to these places where they say they can fix your PSP, Laptops, IPhones, MP3's etc or just get a new one altogether? I've had it for like 2 years now, so obviously the warranty is void.

    I have a Belkin Wireless Adapter (USB F6D4050 to be exact) to connect to my home network (BT Homehub) and I havn't really had any problems until recently. It will be fine and stay connected for about 5 minutes and then go to limited connectivity, It's so fustrating! Does anyone know much about wireless networks etc?

    Good evening, my TV recently (last night) had a run in with a door, or more a door fell on it knocking it to the floor... The resulting problem is that it won't switch on... There is no visible damage at all and daft as it sounds there are no rattling bits, yes I did pick it up and shake it. I've heard that these TV (Sony Bravia LCD 32") do occasionally just not switch on however I'm stumped trying to find out a cure. Has anyone had a similar issue???? Rather than claim from house insurance and/or pay a repair guy lots of cash does anyone know of any fixes or easy reapir jobs that can be done? Thanks

    My Sky remote now no longer works the tv functions... It literally went from working one minute to not working the next. It's a Sky + HD remote, and the tv is a Sharp LC37x20e. I've tried the following codes; 0093, 121, 064, 065 and im fairly certain it was one of those I used last time, however none worked. Now after inputting the code the red light on the remote isn't blinking twice, no idea why. Any advice? Using two remotes is a pain in the backside!
