    ASUS ZEN AiO Z272 27" LCD Display Went Dark

    Sounds like the screen inverter has stopped working for whatever reason and, as a result, the backlight won't come on. Luckily, inverters are small and relatively cheap to replace, if necessary - they're just a small board really - so usually much cheaper than any other type of screen repair.

    SSD formatting

    Sorry but... that's not my experience. I have two different USB3-to-SSD enclosures - a cheap-and-cheerful clear plastic Multibao and a more expensive aluminium Iconix. Nothing I do will get Ventoy to boot reliably across the Multibao's USB-to-SSD bus interface yet there's no issue with the...

    merge .txt in one named big.txt

    It's off-topic - sorry - but I try to use PowerShell instead of VBS/VB these days. Its easy to filter by filetype and use Get-Content with its Add-Content operator for appending. For example, I used the following to merge several dozen .TXT files in a folder of mixed content recently: # Merge...

    Panasonic NS700

    Umm... this isn't a Visual Basic query... it's not even a Software > Programming query. At a guess, you need the Phone and Telephony Systems forum. Hope this helps...

    SSD formatting

    I have 128GB and 256GB SSD's (pulled from Dell laptops) in small, self-powered enclosures. The power requirement is minimal. As they are small capacity I used MBR rather than GPT. What make/model laptop did you pull it from? What's the make/model of enclosure? What happens (or not) when you...

    Recover Data Windows 10

    I had a similar experience a week ago when I accidentally held down SHIFT whilst deleting some files, not realising that some folders were also selected but out of sight of the File Manager window. I realised almost immediately what I had done the moment I scrolled upwards in the File Manager...

    See post #2 (and post #4). I'm not replying any more.

    Possibly a timing problem

    I've used Screenshot Captor for many, many years now and have been completely satisfied with it, so much so that I donated to it for its continued development. YMMV.

    doubt sponge enclosure case hdd

    I mean that what is does (deaden vibration) is more important than what it's made of. It's just a cheap and inert foam. It could have been folded felt... but these days the cost of folded felt is greater.

    Possibly a timing problem

    Use something other than the flakey Snipping Tool for greater reliability, something that has commandline parameters for what is captured, i.e. 'No Taskbar'.

    doubt sponge enclosure case hdd

    The composition is immaterial; the purpose is not. Once again, it's safe.

    doubt sponge enclosure case hdd

    It's quite safe and won't damage the cable at all. The sponge's only purpose is to deaden any vibration which, over a long period of time, might possibly reduce the HDD's lifespan.

    Loss of my privacy

    Your original thread was titled 'Neighbor Hack'. In this thread (titled 'Loss of Privacy') I wrote "If no-one has physical access to your devices then your WiFi should be secure IF you change the password for WiFi access on your router." Now you write that a neighbor not only has/had access to...

    Loss of my privacy

    I have no idea what this means. Q10. How exactly did you notice these two changes? (Note: You still haven't answered my Q9 about your Sonos woofer from a previous post.) The WiFi network name (SSID) on your Xfinity router cannot be changed except by someone with access to your router's web...

    As I mentioned, I have no experience with Sonos devices... but, from reading online, here's what I suspect may have happened: 1. You opened the Sonos app on your iPhone. It searched for Sonos devices but couldn't find any. Your Sonos soundbar wouldn't show in the app unless a) it was powered on...

    Loss of my privacy

    Thank you for your answers... your setup is becoming clearer now. The wire between your router and the LG TV's cable box is almost definitely an ethernet network cable. I'm still not clear how the Sony's cable box is connected to your network. When you changed the personal Xfinity WiFi...

    Loss of my privacy

    Sorry, I though it was MacBook Air. It helps if you are specific. More questions, I'm afraid, whilst trying to build up an accurate picture of your circumstances. Q5. How are your WiFi-connected devices still connecting to your personal Xfinity WiFi if you have changed the personal Xfinity...
