HP Pavilion dv6000 QuickPlay power on I bought a used motherboard that worked, and replaced the whole motherboard. A few weeks after that, I saw this video and decided to give it a try, since I had nothing to lose. I followed the instructions in that video and I managed to fix the original broken motherboard. Now I have a spare motherboard in case the used one I bought will fail (it hasn't failed yet, and it has been almost 3 years). I don't know how long the repair will hold because I haven't used the repaired motherboard at all (except to test that the repair worked). |

Melting plastic around DC-in jack in laptop Speaking of the recycler: my wireless mouse (2 years old) was acting up, not registering clicks sometimes (you needed to press hard for it to register the right click and the scroll wheel click). I took it apart 2 days ago, bought switches from a local electronics store for around $2, and replaced the switches in the mouse. Now it works like new :). I hate planned obsolescence. |

Melting plastic around DC-in jack in laptop I ordered a jack from laptopjacks.com and managed to successfully disassemble the laptop and replace the jack. It works perfectly now. The jack I ordered wasn't 100% compatible with the old jack, but I managed to make it work. (The pins lined up, but the original jack fed the negative current trough the shielding and the new one did not - it fed the negative trough a pin. I linked the shielding and the negative pin together and now it works perfectly) |

Melting plastic around DC-in jack in laptop I have tried another power adapter, and I get the same problem. It looks like the dc jack inside the laptop is broken. I didn't even think those things could break like that. Now I have to replace it and I can't find a similar jack anywhere :( |

Windows 7 is installing Start menu shortcuts to a “test” folder on my desktop What happens if you delete the "test" folder? Does it reappear magically when you restart your computer or when you install new programs? |

Revert Skype contact list to be like it was before the latest update Oh, i see. You can use the combobox-looking thing that is below the search bar to have that functionality. It takes an extra click (versus the old tabs), but at least you don't have to go trough the menus. I have edited my answer to include a picture. |
