  • Answer to: How can I dismantle it?

    I have a pair of CX-200..... i would see if you still have a warranty left? ( if bought from a authorized retailer i would contact Sennheiser). I can't really comment on how to take it apart, ive not done that before esp. for something so small, repair would be quite difficult..... just thought i would point out another option even thou it doesn't answer your question about taking it apart. I cant see a way into my pair. and of course check audio settings for your computer/ipod etc.... i'm sure you checked this but can't hurt to make sure your audio source is behaving correctly or the settings have not been changed.

  • Answer to: using USB wi-fi adapter to connect wireless network

    you need one compatible with OSX. I have this : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RCK...-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=39095...-20 for a similar problem, but not the same. I do, or did have to use this on a older OSX based computer running 10.5..... i did have to use the little OSX airlink tool/program rather then built in airport to control it. Not sure if this works with snow leopard or lion. something to look into or maybe point you in the right direction, or look for more reviews etc..... i don't have latest info for wireless for mac since this worked fine for what i was doing at the time.

  • Answer to: Anyone recommend magnified glasses for soldering?

    I have a pair of dentist glasses ( same kind of glasses your dentist would have, best description i can give but same kind of thing your looking at on amazon, just with a headband kind of thing) ........ just get the correct power you need, i have no idea what the mag. on mine is...... they allow me plenty of room/distance from what i am working on and just flip up the glasses like a welding mask makes it easier then glasses. Check out ebay or maybe amazon,i have had mine for many years so not sure where you should buy them..... should be quite a bit less expensive then the amazon.com glasses you referenced.

  • Answer to: Can I replace the keyboard on my 15" MacBook Pro mid 2010?

    No answers yet, so thought i would just add a few things...... Here is a guide for the upper case:Installing MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2010 Upper Case This is difficult as the guide says, it is NOT something i would recommend a person with no experience trying to tackle, unless they are just good at this kind of thing having repaired computer before....... Specials tools, easy to break connectors etc. Entire computer needs to be taken apart to gain access to this area you need fixed. I really don't know how much some thing like this would cost, Maybe someone else would have an accurate estimate? if not fixing your self, you could check at the apple store however not sure they will void any further warranty work if under apple care. Could also check for licensed or approved what ever the term is for apple repair places in your area, check online reviews for local places that do apple repair and have certified apple repair people ( not sure if you have a warranty or not from apple) and these local places shou...

  • Answer to: Idle problem remains a odd frustrating headache after much work.

    Well after going to the shop and running codes, and testing various things physically. The idle control motor is odd..... sometimes it responds to commands to raise the idle and sometimes it does not..... this weekend it ran (OK) but a bit rough and despite one of the comments normally the 4.0L runs smooth.......and then earlier this week the idle was bouncing up and down a bit........something new i guess. It still has not been completely figured out yet....... I might have to drill a hole in the throttle plate or adjust the screw so the plate is slightly open, that is the current plan, i think one person suggested that and the friend i have suggested the same thing, at least that is the plan for now. So its a work in progress just diagnosing it and i will update this once the solution is found/fixed and the jeep is running the way it used to.

  • Answer to: Is that RAM memory compatible?

    OWC has memory selectors to help find correct RAM. Crucial too. Newegg.com also has RAM selectors to find memory for your model laptop http://www.newegg.com/MemoryFinder/ I have had good experiences with G Skill and mushkin off the top of my head. Gskill in my personal machines...... Once you know the speed and specs of RAM i have found RAM for macs in the non mac memory sections at a better price. Plenty of user reviews for memory and other products on newegg.com. 2010 model MBP shouldn't have any problems finding quite a few selections for 8GB of memory. Just noticed your link was for the UK..... even if newegg and other vendors i mentioned don't ship to the UK, I'm not sure if they do, newegg does have some strict rules about billing and shipping address for orders... anyway once you have specific model info for what you want to order, you should be able to find a seller, for what you need in the UK if not able to order from the wesites i mentioned above.

  • Answer to: What is SATA compatability, II or III or both?

    It will work with SATA III..... , it's backwards compatible if your computer doesn't have a SATA III controller, just operate at sata II speed...... if a SATA III drive your looking at costs more no benefit for using a SATA III drive if it costs more and your machine has no SATA III controller...... I would recommend a intel brand, like the Intel 320 series, esp. since i know they work well with OSX and have not heard of anyone having a major problem with them, even thou it's not part of the question thought i would mention it...Not sure which drive you are looking at... and intels are a bit more expensive then some of the other ones out there. ( the read/write/internal IO speed of an SSD is what will make it nice and fast).

  • Answer to: Tiny spill of water and now "?" and "0" keys dont work

    I have had luck taking the laptop keyboard out ( the top case) and cleaning any keys that are not working with some WD-40 and then allowing it to dry. ( look at the wiki page for WD-40, it displaces water). This is of course if you can't get it fixed using another method, someone else might have another solution. I have also done this for the regular large silver and white desktop mac keyboards having sodas etc spilled on them. Keyboard will smell like wd-40 for a few days or so. If the keyboard can't be fixed using this method you might need a new keyboard. Also i would be careful to visually inspect the internals to make sure no water or moisture etc made it's way into other parts of the laptop or any water still in the keyboard laying in wait to get further into the laptop.

  • Answer to: only power LED lit & dim?

    well without looking around first, are you using the correct power adapter? ( it can get confusing when you have bunch of power cords or quite a few things near your AP with the same plug). Did you try and update it, or update the firmware to DD-WRT? something like that? Unless the power cord has been damaged somehow. I would imagine none of the other indicator lights are flashing when doing the hard reset? I assume you have not been able to ping it, and not broadcasting an SSID. If no other status lights are working and you can't address it via ethernet, it seems the router has met a power surge...... or just simply expired. The only things i can think of to restore it, tftp or JTAG it wouldn't work on that model as far as i know. I might be wrong...... as far as i know the newer versions don't have these kind of options.

  • Answer to: Why is my picture too big?

    I have this TV..... i love it. Not exactly sure of the problem based on the question. You might want to check the cable box or what ever input your using make sure it's 1080i or 720p output which ever is supported....... i assume your using HDMI cables, before my HDMI cables arrived the analog inputs make me a little nuts..... or at the least not happy with the picture. once that is squared away check the aspect ratio in the setting for the TV. You might have Zoom mode on...... Just what i could think of off the top of my head. I don't have a firm grasp on your problem so this is the best advice i can offer. If you provide more detailed info i might be of more help.
