Either currys or even better a local computer shop should be able to mirror your hard drive before trying to fix it, so you don't lose anything important if it turns out your computer's fucked, I'd guess at for not much more than £20-30? Me, I'd f-disk it 20 times, take an angle grinder to the whole thing leaving nothing bigger than a lego piece, burn it in sulphuric acid, and get a replacement on Gumtree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopolopoluss1 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Is there a way that I can cast content from my phone/laptop to an Amazon Fire Stick in the same way that I would cast up to a Chromecast? I've figured out the screen mirroring, but that literally just mirrors whatever is showing on my phone at the time. It's decent enough, but means that all of my phone notifications show up on the TV screen and if I close the video on my phone, it also closes on the fire stick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHallSaint Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Needing some advice. My dad passed away and has a HP envy 2 touchscreen computer we have found which no one wants. It has a screen protector/keyboard with it which doesn't work but I plugged in a USB keyboard which works fine. Anyone know how much it would be worth or anywhere in the Edinburgh/West Lothian region where I could sell it. It's immaculate condition I don't think it's been used much It's this one https://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/hp-envy-15-c000-x2-detachable-pc/7277326/model/7479727?sku=K0X12EAI had a wee look on eBay and the only one I could find was around the £250 mark but with the keyboard not working would I be able to get around £200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a power button on it as well. My dad was in hospital for a couple months so it hasn't been used. I'll try leave it plugged in for a bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're printing colour pamphlets every day it's probably not worth it. For normal printing I'd set the default to greyscale though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Moving flat and Sky have said that the earliest an openreach engineer can go to the flat to reactivate the line (there is a line there but no dial tone) is October 1st. Is there any way I can get this done sooner or am I fucked? And anyone got any recommendations for a good portable WiFi box or other entirety solution that I can use for the next few weeks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's only for a couple of weeks you might be best just taking the hit on data charges on your phone as a hot spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
