LAPTOPS
- HP Laptop G50 series, Keyboard Repair
- Sticky keys, keys not working, or missing keys
-
Your HP Laptop has a sticky key, a key that is not working, or a missing key on
the keyboard...these instructions will show you how to go about taking your
laptop apart and replacing the keyboard. It's really not that hard with
the step by step pictures and instructions provided by these instructions.
This particular repair was done on HP Laptop model number: HP G50,
specific Part Number NP534UA#ABA. This one had a key that was not working (the
"F" key wouldn't work).
Figure 0.5 - HP G50 Series which Needs a New Keyboard
This repair will require getting a replacement keyboard. I
will show you how to locate and order a replacement keyboard (for about $19) within the
instructions (so no need to worry if you have lost keys on your current
keyboard).
TIME REQUIRED:
About a 30 minute job....add another 30 minutes if you are taking your
time through the process.
Skills Required to Complete:
You will need to be able to use a phillips screwdriver...not a whole lot of
skill needed to complete this repair.

Television
- Sony HDTV LCD projection television - picture color is off-color and/or the picture will come on for a
few seconds, then shuts off for about 40 seconds while flashing the green Power / Standby
on and off, then come back on for a few seconds, repeating the entire cycle
over and over.
Figure 1 - Sony HDTV that keeps shutting
down or has no picture.
Do you have one of these nice Sony Wega LCD
projection HDTV in which the color is no longer true and/or the picture just
won't come on, or the picture will come on for about 10 seconds then shut off while keeping the Power/Standby light blinking green for about
40 seconds, then the television will come back on for about 10 seconds before
cycling again to off. You will sometimes see the television start to act
this way after a power outage. This particular Sony model is the KDF
E42A10. Other Sony HDTV LCD models would apply if you are experiencing these same
conditions. We have the fix for this, along with tips to keep it from
happening again.
Along with the $19.99 instructions, you will need a part
that costs $175. I offer the sale of this part within the instructions
for $175 new. You will find this part available at other places on the
internet for $199 or more. I believe I offer the lowest price by keeping
my overhead low. You may also be able to find the part locally at a
television repair shop, however, I would bet that it will be at or above the
$199 cost (but if you are in a hurry, this may be an option rather than wait
for the shipping). No other tools are needed for this repair other than
the part.
I have seen this repair quoted at $2000 by a local
television repair facility!!! A new television costs less than that!
Save yourself the trouble of transporting your television to your local repair
facility or being charged a large amount for an in-home visit by a television
repair technician (minimum charge just for the visit is typically $80).

Maxtor OneTouch 4 500GB External Hard Drive Repair
and Data Recovery
If you purchased a Maxtor OneTouch 4 500GB External hard
drive, you will likely experience its failure within a year of it's purchase.
While the drive is under warranty, the problem with sending it off for repairs,
you will lose the data that is stored on the drive unless you pay you pay a data
recovery fee to Seagate (Seagate is the company the sells these drives and
warranties them) which typically runs beyond $1000!
Figure 1.2 - Maxtor OneTouch 4 500GB External Hard Drive
We are currently repairing these drives, including
the data recovery, for $179.99. If the problem with your
drive is that white light (LED) on the front panel has gone blank and your
computer can no longer read or write to and from it (your computer will not be
able to see the hard drive at all), then this repair is for you. Note,
if you have dropped or had a hard shock to your drive while it was operating,
this repair is NOT for you (we are unable to repair a drive that has been
damaged from a fall or hard shock).
You do not have to loose all your data (those precious
digital photos or digital movies) on the external hard drive or pay some extreme
price to recover your data. For $179.99 your drive will be restored along
with the data on it. Typically the unit will be repaired and shipped back
within 48 hours of receipt. Return shipping is included in the price.
Again, this repair is for those units that appear to have
died and is not operating...the computer does not recognize the external
hard drive when it is properly connected.
If for some reason we are unable to repair your drive, we
will ship it back to you at no charge.
You can pay for your repair with PayPal or any major credit card once we contact you that the repair is completed (or
you may include a check with your hard drive shipment). :

Duane,
The money paid to fix the Bose was well worth it. Bose wanted $300 to fix it.
I just finished fixing the Bose system for my friend. He and his wife were so
pleased. The fix worked perfectly. Thanks so much.

Television
- Picture is dark even after adjusting the brightness
to its highest/brightest point.
If you are having this problem with your
television, then we have a fix for you (it's actually the same fix as the CRT
computer monitor below). The only tools required are a standard screwdriver and/or
a phillips screw driver (preferably with a rubber, non-conductive handle).
This repair is relatively simple (no soldering required) and at most a screw
driver and phillips screwdriver is required. You'll probably find that
getting the television out of its current location and to an area to work on
it will be the hardest part of the task.
These directions should be applicable to many brands and
models of televisions, not just the example one shown below.

What
People Are Saying About This Repair...
I want to thank you a
whole lot. I purchased your TV Brightness Fix for $4.99 and you saved my TV! I
have a 13 year old Zenith and the screen had gone blue and looked really
really dark. Your instructions plus a little time and help from my fiancée
fixed it in just a few hours. I am really pleased with your instructions and
will recommend you site to others who have problems, if you have a fix for it
lol.
