Answer to: screen out of adjustment 01/11/2018
Before you all go fiddling with complicated calibration settings, try this simple solution with an old toothbrush: Use a card or fingernail to slightly lift the screen bezel around the touch screen, only needs to be just enough to get a few toothbrush bristles under it. Work the brush bristles gradually right around the screen and note what drops out on a clean sheet of paper. A few grains of sand / grit is enough to screw up your screen sensitivity. Better yet, blast air under the bezel as you lift it. Use a can of air (as used for cleaning photographic lenses) with a fine nozzle attached. if this does not work this is a link to a document which shows how to calibrate the tomtom screen for a certain model. English: http://www.martin-kolinsky.com/freeinstructionsfordownload...-Touch%20screen%20calibration.pdf and if this does not work...

Answer to: Ring video doorbell will not connect to wifi 01/11/2018
How do you reset the ring doorbell? If the light still doesn't start spinning when you push the orange button, try performing a hard reset. To perform a hard reset, hold down the black button for 15 seconds. After releasing it, the light on the front will flash a few times indicating that your Ring Doorbell is restarting then re start the setup process all over again. Ring setup video

Answer to: Sourcing a Built in Keyboard for MacBook Pro 2012 01/11/2018
I have had good luck with most of the keyboards on amazon. I have received a dud or two but for the most part I have gotten good quality parts. I haven't had any keyboards fail after installing them I just got a couple one time that had sticking keys. Just make sure you use amazon prime so it makes it easier to return if necessary.
Answer to: Blinking question mark folder. Command Option R doesn't work. 01/11/2018
Hold during startup Shift (⇧) Start up in safe mode. Option (⌥) Start up to Startup Manager, which allows you to choose other startup disks, if available. If your Mac is using a firmware password, you're asked to enter the password first. D Start up from the built-in Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics utility, depending on your Mac model. Or use Option-D to start up from this utility over the Internet. N Start up from a compatible NetBoot server, if available. To use the default boot image on the NetBoot server, hold down Option-N instead. iMac Pro doesn't support this startup key. Command-R Start up from the built-in macOS Recovery system. Or use Option-Command-R or Shift- Option-Command-R to start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet. macOS Recovery installs different versions of macOS, depending on the key combination you use while starting up. Option-Command (⌘)-P-R Reset NVRAM (or PRAM). If your Mac is using a firmware password, this combination causes your Mac to start up from macOS Recovery i...

Answer to: Why are the back lights on permanently? 01/10/2018
The backlight is what actually brightens or dims the entire television display, so if it’s a bit too bright for your liking, just turn it down a bit. And if it’s not bright enough, crank it up to a level that’s suitable. However, make sure to leave the “brightness” alone unless you’re re-calibrating your TV’s picture. For day-to-day adjustments, backlight is what you want.
Answer to: Can send to wireless printer 01/10/2018
