Does anybody have an answer? I would love to be able to charge my clippers without buying an entire new model. Thanks.

Awesome! That helps a lot. Unfortunately or fortunately, I can't reproduce the issue, which makes it a bit tricky to narrow down the issue using the flowchart in the guide.

It's the Ion 1070 (Amazon link here). Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to contact the manufacturer, which is why I'm trying to find a 3rd party replacement adapter.

I've lost the AC adapter for charging my hair clippers. Would this adapter from Amazon be a suitable replacement? Below are pictures of my clippers and a screenshot of the adapter I found on Amazon.

Hopefully this is an appropriate place for this question. A breaker tripped this morning for under no unusual load. When we flipped it back on, the light circled below turned on for 5 seconds before turning off. Is that normal when turning on a breaker or does it indicate an issue. It's near the...

Final Update: The issue was the SATA cable! I got a new cable and the everything is working now. Lessons learned: Don't forget to consider that the cables could be the issue A hardware issue with your drive, even if it's not your OS drive, can cause Windows to fail to boot. In my case, I had an...

Update: I was able to hook up my drive to another PC and copy all files to another drive. Then I ran CHKDSK on the original drive and didn't find any problems. Given my initial issue, are there any other diagnostics you would recommend? I'm skeptical of putting the drive back into the original...

A drive from one of my PCs was having issues, so I've placed it in an external enclosure (USB) to troubleshoot from another machine. However, when I plug it in, I can't access the files. Disk Manager says it has a "GPT Protective Partition". How can I access the files? Would I have better luck...

Hey, thanks for the input, everyone! This morning, Windows stopped booting, so I spent a few hours troubleshooting until I simply removed my data drive (volume E). After physically disconnecting it, Windows seems happy. Now I'm going to order an external enclosure and, when it arrives, resume my...

I seem to have issues with one of my drives and I'd like help with next steps for troubleshooting. This is not my OS drive, but a drive I use for media. I'm trying to determine if I can salvage the data or repair the drive. Questions How can I try to salvage the data? What can I do to try to...

I have an XPS 15 9560, which has both integrated Intel graphics and a dedicated GTX 1050. How do I know which is being used? For a desktop PC, I would know based on where my display connectors are connected. I am trying to hook up multiple monitors. If I connect 2 monitors (one with HDMI out...

I'd like to store memories on a drive for my child to access when she has grown up. I will probably add files to it once per year; otherwise, it will sit in a fire-proof safe. For this use case, does SSD vs. HDD matter? I'm leaning toward SSD for shock resilience in case it gets bumped while...

Huh, I didn't even know that was a thing! This looks like a good option. Are powerline adapters generally reliable? (At least more comparable to Ethernet than WiFi?)

Sigh. Does anyone have any clever ways of getting ethernet into the other room without running a long cable along my baseboards? I'd really prefer to not rely on wireless.

Only 10mb? The guy from my ISP said it should be gigabit. Then again, he didn't actually open it up and look.
