Posted on January 27, 2014

Q&A: How do I get my Facebook Ticker back?

Posted on January 26, 2014

facebook-logoQuestion from Debra:  Hi Rick. Weeks ago, I pressed the “Hide Ticker’ tab in a moment of boredom. It has disappeared now and there’s no option to get it back.

If I minimize my screen to tiny writing, I can see it’s still there. But it’s not possible to use FB easily with a font that small. Can you help? I enjoy the Ticker!! Thanks!

Q&A: Does my Acer netbook have a bad screen?

Posted on January 25, 2014

acer-aspire-one-d270Question from Luella F.:  The screen on my Acer Aspire One D270 netbook stays blank like it’s not getting any power when I turn the machine on. Everything else seems to be working ok because the power light comes on and I can hear the fan running.

Do you think it needs a new screen? If it does, would it cost a lot to get it fixed? I don’t want to put much into it at this point.

Q&A: How do I reset my Acer laptop back to the factory condition?

Q&A: Will a power cord from an old monitor work with my computer?

Posted on January 24, 2014

pc-power-cordQuestion from Shelley:  Hi Rick. I have a question and you’ll probably think it’s silly. Will just any power cord that will fit be ok to use with my computer? It’s an Acer Aspire ME600.

I just moved into a new dorm, and somewhere along the way I lost the power cord to my tower. I searched the entire campus between my old dorm and the new one and I couldn’t find it anywhere.

My new roommate gave me a cord that she had left over when she replaced her old monitor. It fits in the socket perfectly, but it seems to be a little thinner than the one that came with my computer.

Do you think this old cord will work ok, or do you think I should buy a new one?
