Dropped my labtop the other day and the whole screen is bust. There's no visible crack but clearly damage was done. Anyone know any place that fixes screens in town and how much would it be setting me back? Cheers.

Anyone know if it's possible to block calls from a specific number? Phone is an iphone4 and the service provider is vodafone, who have been of no help!"I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes art.

Its kind of a funny story looks solid, ionapaul said Love and other Drugs was decent even for a bloke and I think The Way Back could be good, Next 3 Days you could probably just wait till DVD.
Would avoid Little Fockers and Gullivers Travels plus Season of the Witch."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

I bought a new Sony Bravia a few months ago and a few days ago bought a HDMI to HDMI cable.
I plugged it into my lapper (Toshiba Satellite) and it worked fine.
Then last night I plugged it in and turned the tv to the HDMI setting and nothing.
I tried using a forced detection on my lapper and it wouldnt detect any output.
Anyone able to help me on this one??

Is there a key on your laptop to enable enable TV-Out, possible one of your F keys, if so try pressing FN & the F keyLast edited by RasTa; 07-01-11, 17:27.Hunter S Thompson 1937-2005 - "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro"

AndyFB would probably be able to talk you through a cleaner/safer way of fixing the problems by the sounds of it
id say between the 3 updates some crosswires happened, probably the two microsoft ones with regard to the same file/files being overwritten
although apple updates for PC can sometimes be a bit hairy (worded to stop the apple fanboys getting their knickers in a twist)
if problem seems to be only chrome
1.reinstall chrome?
2.some clean/safe recovery program one of the lads could rec
3.last resort chkdskOriginally posted by AndyFB View PostIt sounds like it was just a concidence that you uninstalled some stuff or installed some updates before something broke. This kind of behaviour is usually memory failure. Do you know how do a memtest?
hopefully that was just the full problem.Last edited by Denny Crane; 07-01-11, 19:18.

Excellent movie from one of the best directors of our time.

Senior moment - A 98 year old woman in the UK wrote this to her bank.
The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the Times.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement, which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.
My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, but when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan payments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.
Please find attached an Application Contact Status which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Solicitor, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, I will issue your employee with PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows:
1. To make an appointment to see me.
2. To query a missing payment.
3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
7. To leave a message on my computer (a password to access my computer is required.
A password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact.)
8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through to 8.
9. To make a general complaint or inquiry, the contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.
Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.
May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.
Your Humble Client
(Remember: This was written by a 98 year old woman; DOESN'T SHE MAKE YOU PROUD!)
