This article is only directed toward individuals that own pretty good DVD players and flat screen displays using HDMI cables. One of my jobs is to perform technical support for a state university department. I was asked to solve a problem with a large screen TV set in a department’s class room used to show movies. The complaint was that the TV screen looked pink. My research came up with a couple of DVD test disks. I was able to…
Most home pool systems have a backwash valve that allows the owner to send pool water through the filter, typically diatomaceous earth, to rather quickly and cheaply clean the filter. I encountered a major problem with our backwash valve. I could not make it function properly. It would not slide the plastic handle completely down and thus I sent a small stream of water out of the pool when the pool pump was running. When I tried to take the…

(Or allegedly stupid about some energy factors). Our pool pump went out the end of 2009. I did quite a lot of research and found out the following: Two speed or variable speed pumps are required in California to save energy. These motors are way more expensive than single speed motors. Every pool supply vendor failed to inform me of that California requirement and would be most willing to sell me a single speed motor. I was extremely surprised that…
We have a iMac 20 inch computer that was purchased September 2004. Beginning the summer of 2008 it began to exhibit some disturbing symptoms. It would not wake up from sleep mode. The fans would race at high speed for hours. Some times the computer would begin to shut itself off. We took the computer in to the Genius Bar, at an Apple store, September 2008. The technician looked the computer over and told us they would repair the unit…
