    Time To Replace Two Old Dell Laptops

    17 years? Wow! That's impressive! I assumed changing out the keyboard would be a major undertaking. I'll take a look online and see if it's something I can manage. Thank you.

    Time To Replace Two Old Dell Laptops

    My wife's laptop is 8 years old; mine is 7. A pair of XPS13 models, problem free all this time until recently. Both keyboards are starting to act up. Space bar on both stops working intermittently; my keyboard is physically worn from all the use. No complaints, they've lived long and...

    Electrical Panel Upgrades

    First tech came out. Both panels are Federal Pacific and both must go. 150 amps, $2160 total. Sounds reasonable to me. . .but I know nothing about this stuff.

    Is There An Appliance Dr In The House?

    The patient: LG Electric range, model LSE4613 ST, purchased April, 2021. Recently noticed a burning/melting plastic smell when either the stovetop or the oven was turned on. Pulled off the back and, sure enough, see the photo of what I found. Is this just the electrical cord that went bad...

    One Line Not Getting Power

    There are two panels. The exterior panel on the side of the house is 200A. The panel inside the garage is 150A. Electrician suggested replacing both since they are old Federal Pacific units and apparently they are fire risks.

    One Line Not Getting Power

    Update: electrician came over, found a bad outlet and took care of the problem. Power back to all 5 outlets. $120 While here we talked about the existing panel. Turns out it's a 40 year old Federal Pacific. He suggested I replace it ASAP. It's a 150A box. Took at look at the outside box...

    One Line Not Getting Power

    Electrician is on his way later today. Hopefully nothing too serious. With that said, the panel is the original, pushing 40 years. I'm considering upgrading to a new, 150 amp box. Yeah or nay, and what might I expect cost wise, here in south FL?

    One Line Not Getting Power

    Just ran through all the breakers, off and on. None were tripped, all remain on. Time to call a local electrician and get this taken care of.

    One Line Not Getting Power

    At first glance it doesn't appear any circuit tripped, but I'll look again. It's an older panel and the breakers are no longer clearly marked. Guess that means going through them one by one. :confused2:

    One Line Not Getting Power

    I noticed today that one line has no power. First thing I checked was the panel, no circuits tripped. Two GFCI outlets in the house, neither on this line and neither one tripped. Total of 5 outlets not working. Not the sharpest knife in the draw when it comes to electricity. Opinions on...

    Electrical Question

    Thank you for the detailed replies, echo4747 and Paperdoc. After doing a few basic tests I figured with my limited knowledge and the location of the problem, (beneath the kitchen sink and behind a large disposal unit), I'm better off contacting an electrician. Waiting on a call back.

    Electrical Question

    Tested and reset the two GFCI outlets in the house but the problem persists. The outlet in question was replaced less than 4 year ago when the kitchen was rehabbed. So I don't think it's already gone bad but I suppose that's my final test before bringing in an electrician.

    Electrical Question

    Yesterday, both my disposal and dishwasher stopped working. There was no power from the outlet under the sink. I checked to see if the breaker was tripped. It wasn't so I manually tripped it and reset, but still no power at that outlet. I know what I don't know and that would be electricity...

    Roof Repair, Missing Shingles

    Don't know how long it's been like that, but I looked at all the ceilings and went into the attic and I don't see any signs of water damage. Regardless, it will be repaired in the next few days.

    Roof Repair, Missing Shingles

    That's the issue I've run into here. I contact a roofer or handyman, send them the pic, and no reply. Not worth their time; I get it. I took a look on YouTube and it doesn't seem that involved, even for someone like myself who's never done any roofing work.

    Roof Repair, Missing Shingles

    No gun that I saw, but his hands were in his pockets so who knows. :) Can't blame a guy for trying. I was hoping I could score two shingles and be done with it, but that doesn't seem like it will happen.

    Roof Repair, Missing Shingles

    Had the house painted last week. While the painter was up on the ladder he noticed some shingles missing on the peak the garage. Not a big deal, I'm thinking. Painter tells me his cousin can help. Call cousin, quotes me $1200. See attached photo for what I think is only two ridge shingles...

    Question Ethernet Is Slower Than Wifi

    I just ran the laptop directly through the modem. Same result, about 100Mbps. Could it be a bad modem? Puchased about 2.5 years ago. Hate to think it's already a paperweight. :angry:

    New Concrete Driveway, How To Best Seal It?

    The old asphalt driveway was finally given the heave-ho. In its place is a freshly poured concrete driveway, done about two weeks ago. I've been reading online about various approaches to sealing and protecting it, and as expected there are conflicting opinions and advice. I figured I'd come...

    New Bosch Dishwasher, Installation Question

    I'm replacing an old Kenmore dishwasher with a new Bosch unit. Does the Bosch require a unique powercord? I'm asking because it is being offered in my shopping cart as an accessory and it is different than the standard powercord I used with the Kenmore.

    Question TP-Link Router Dropping Frequently; Support Sent Me This

    Spent about an hour on the phone today with Comcast. The polite woman on the phone assured me she was a tech expert, and started out with the usual: rebooting the modem, the router, the laptop. Had me fuss around with the CMD prompt, flushed the IP, etc. She said all the numbers on her end...

    Question New Router, Old School Speeds. Ugh, help!

    I unplugged and rebooted modem and router; checked all cables and connections; then flushed the modem's memory. It has been working fine now for several hours, so perhaps I got lucky and the issue is fixed.

    Question New Router, Old School Speeds. Ugh, help!

    Decided to treat myself to a router upgrade. Went from the TP-Link Archer A10 to the AX50. I recall the A10 was a true plug and play installation, which is perfect for the techno-dinosaur that I am. I followed the easy install pamphlet for the AX50 correctly, I believe. But my internet speeds...

    Question Router Has Started Dropping Wifi Signal

    Purchased a TP-Link Archer A10 in July, 2019, one year ago. It's been working perfect until about two weeks ago when the wifi began dropping two or three times a day. Each time I reboot and it runs fine for a few hours until the next time. ISP is Xfinity, no outages in my area from them; modem...
