    After cleaning printhead in my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, I get a "One or More Cartridges Appear to be Damaged" error. (Followup to Previous Issue)

    I removed the printhead in my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus to clean it. I soaked it in isopropyl alcohol, wipe the bottom part of the printhead, used an electric air dryer to dry it out, and left it outside to dry for 14-15 hours. I put the ink in the cartridges and I get the error "One or...

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus has white streaks only in the "Blue" print Cartridge (I attempted cleaning the printhead).

    I got a free HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus that works great in black and white, but whenever I print in color, the blue ink has white lines/streaks through it. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue with this printer? The test page (screenshot attached) says if there are white streaks...

    Reformatted the hard drive in my Seagate Central. Still doesn't work. Do I need to install firmware/OS on the hard drive?

    I had an issue with my Seagate Central 2TB in which the light was stuck flashing green. So, I opened the enclosure, removed the drive, and re-formatted the hard drive (it was corrupted when I plugged it in). It is now formatted FAT32. *Edit - The drive works as it should when not in the...

    Seagate Central 2TB Network Hard Drive constantly flashes green light. It never shows up on the network.

    I recently had a problem with my Seagate Central 2TB Network Hard Drive. Whenever I hook the Ethernet cable to my router and plug it into the wall, I hear the hard drive spin up (no clicks of death, it sounds like a working hard drive). The Orange light comes on for a few seconds and then the...

    I was wondering if it was possible to install both Mojave (32 Bit) and Monterey (64 Bit) on a 2013 Mac Pro? I would like to run apps like Adobe CS6 (32 Bit) as well as newer software like Microsoft Office 360 and the like (64 Bit). If it is possible, how would I go about doing this? I have...

    OWC Envoy Pro always "resets" (turns on and off) when I try to put data on the drive. Is there a way to fix this issue?

    I have an OWC Envoy Pro for Apple SSDs that worked perfectly until recently everytime I try to put data on the drive (after a few seconds of putting the data on) the drive would "disconnect" and "reconnect." I have tried formatting the drive in NTFS, APFS, FAT, and Mac OS Extended with at...

    How to use a NeatDesk Scanner on the latest Mac OS X?

    I found a NeatDesk Scanner for $5 at a thrift store. I know that this is an old device and support has ended for it, but I was wondering if there was some 3rd party software that would get this up and running? I know Vuescan is very popular for old scanners, but I do not see the Neat scanner in...

    Razer Core X is not fully recognized by Alienware 13 R2 (which has Thunderbolt 3 | 40 Gbps).

    I just got a Razer Core X for both my Mac (2020) and my AW R13 R2. I have an ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1080 TI. It is running Windows 10 Home (fully updated). Whenever I connect the Thunderbolt cable the AW says "Thunderbolt device functionality might be limited." The PC shows Razer Core X...

    How to put an OS on a vintage Sharp Actius MM10 sub-laptop computer that does not support USB Booting.

    I have a vintage Sharp Actius MM10 (Windows XP) from 2003"ish". The hard drive died on this unit and I want to put an SSD in this unit. The only problem is that this laptop (according to research) does not support USB booting (has 1 port) except to a specific CD drive. Since I don't have the...

    I replaced the PCB on my Seagate St33000651AS. The hard drive powers on, but the computer is having trouble recognizing the drive.

    Sorry! I mean clicking as in a normal clicking. As in, it is working the way it should. This is not the click of death.

    I replaced the PCB on my Seagate St33000651AS. The hard drive powers on, but the computer is having trouble recognizing the drive.

    I got the exact model St33000651AS hard drive. Also, when I look at both boards, they look identical.

    I replaced the PCB on my Seagate St33000651AS. The hard drive powers on, but the computer is having trouble recognizing the drive.

    The PCB was bad (the HD never spun up) on my Seagate St33000651AS. Therefore, I bought a replacement board so I can recover the data on the drive. When I swapped the board, the hard drive powers on, spins up, and starts clicking. Windows 10 makes the "something is connected" sound but the...

    How to Install Old Version of OS X in VM to run Flash 7 on 2020 MacBook Pro

    I have a bunch of great (yet older) guitar lesson software that only runs on Flash 7. I have kept an old MacBook 1,1 sitting around just to run this software. My question is, can I install an older version of Mac OS X on some sort of VM? While I use Parallels, I am not opposed to using other...

    That is it! Thanks a lot! :) Did not think that an "unboxing" and "review" would have a section on how to replace the battery.

    I saw someone do a battery mod on his Drevo Calibur Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard, but the instructions never showed how he opened the keyboard. The battery is completely dead on mine and I would like to replace it.

    Intermittent "flickering/weird color" screen issue with MacBook Pro 17-Inch Mid 2009 (5,2) (A1297)

    I recently picked up an older MacBook Pro 17-Inch Mid 2009 (5,2) (A1297). The computer has one issue with it. Most of the time, the computer screen either flickers random colors or the screen casts a weird color hue. About 5 percent of the time the screen works the way it should, however most...

    What connector is this on this hard drive? *pics (Toshiba MK1503GAL)

    I found this old mini hard drive from a vintage Sharp laptop. It is much smaller than a standard 2.5" laptop drive. The connector looks either a CompactFlash or a mini IDE. My question is, how do I get the data off of this drive? This does not fit in a CompactFlash reader due to the size of...

    Apple Watch doesn't turn on after battery replacement

    I just got an Apple Watch Series 2 that had a swollen battery that popped the watch face off. I took the battery out and replaced it with a new one. The "green snake" ("charge me please") shows up on the screen and eventually turns off. However, once I turn on the watch, the logo shows up for...
