    Question Trialling 'CCTV DVR Viewer 24/7' from neodigi.us (MS Store) with IMOU Cruiser CCTV cameras ?

    Thanks, all. It's a IMOU CruiserSE+ - https://store.imou.com/en-uk/products/cruiser-se-2c-3mp-4mp-uk It uses a built-in micro SD card to record footage, overwriting every couple of weeks, connects to WiFi via 2.4GHz, displays a live image and sound on a phone via the Imou Life App, and gives...

    Question Trialling 'CCTV DVR Viewer 24/7' from neodigi.us (MS Store) with IMOU Cruiser CCTV cameras ?

    Hi. I have a couple of Imou Cruiser CCTV cameras set up and running through Imou's phone App - all works well. I'd like to have the option of PC monitoring and recording too, if possible (by 'possible', I mean easy to do...) I've downloaded the above software from the MS Store, as it mentions...

    Question HP Notebook 15-bs158sa - can trackpad button be prised off?

    Thanks - I did worry this would be the case! I'm hoping someone on here has actually tried prising the button off from above, and can relate whether this is doable without damage? If the trackpad was worn or faulty, then fair do's - I'd look to replace. But it's just this wee extra spring that's...

    Question HP Notebook 15-bs158sa - can trackpad button be prised off?

    Hi. The LH trackpad button is wobbly. It functions - clicks - perfectly, but feels as tho' the return spring on the button's LH end has failed or become displaced, so the button falls low at that end, and wobbles and rattles a fair bit. Q - can the button be prised off safely, without...

    Question Swapping the existing HDD for an SSD on a laptop ?

    Thanks all - really appreciated. Yes, I now realise that the USB cradle could be an issue for Samsung Magician - I've shelved that option. I've also realised I was planning to use DiskGenius rather than Macrium as it seems it's more user-friendly - sorry for the swerve on that. (Just to...

    Question Swapping the existing HDD for an SSD on a laptop ?

    Hi. Laptop Model: Lenovo Z575 This is an old (2012) laptop on which I'm doing a few jobs for sis-in-law, and I feel a swap to an SSD will help its sluggish performance quite a bit. The existing HDD is a 500GB Seagate, and the new SSD is a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO. I'll probably use Macrium as I...

    [SOLVED] PC doesn't always boot up, sometimes freezes at logo stage.

    Blimey, this was a loooong time ago! Anyhoo, the freezing boot-up was caused by a poor HDMI connection to the TV, which is used as a monitor. Spray of contact cleaner, and all is well. Connector feels a bit loose and sloppy, but it works.

    Question Sharp LC-32CHG6021K - visible screen lights. Cause?

    Hi. Curious about the possible cause of this situation - a friend's LCD TV. It's only around 3 years old, and I'm told it's not really visible when in use or when her son plays video games on it. Thoughts? Thanks!

    Question One phone has lost WiFi connection to my router.

    Hi Bill. Thanks for your reply. 'Guest' and 'multiple SSID' I don't know, but I'll check it out. What I understand I can change is the current SSID name, and the WiFi password, so I might try doing that to see if it jogs anything in the stoopid phone. Cheers.

    Hi all. This is a new Vodafone THG3000 router supplied with their Fibre 1 broadband. It's been running for 2 months now, and all is seemingly fine both WiFi and Ethernet connectivity. I have three phones currently connected to the router, all three working absolutely fine for these 2 months...

    Aaaargh, Stupier - really sorry I didn't get notification of your reply. This will obviously come far too late for you, but perhaps it'll help others :-( I did a full account of this on here...
