HTC wild fire phone network unlock
Hi
I have the HTC wild fire on the 3 network and wish to switch network.
Is there a free unlocking program for this phone, or am I going to have to pay a man at the market to do this?
Thanks all.
Any woodworking tools experts out there.
I just bought a Draper 250mm smoothing plane.
Do I need to hone the blade or any thing else before I use it, or can I use it straight out of the box?
Any advice most appreciated.
Thanks
RE: Any mobile phone experts.
I managed to get a man at the market to program the IMEI number back in to the phone using his laptop.
but it still works for an hour or two then goes back to no service, then back to working for a few hours and so on.
Why?
Any mobile phone experts.
SAMSUNG SGH-E250
Hi
My 13 year old son and is friends entered some code they found on the internet, which supposedly unlock new features on his phone.
One of the codes was # * 7 3 3 7 #
This reset the EEPROM and set the IMEI number to all 0`s :o
The phone still worked for about week, but then it started showing NO SERVICE and stopped working. That`s when he told me what had happened.
I managed to get a man at the market to program the IMEI number back in to the phone using his laptop.
I thought that would be it and we would be back up and running but no.
Now it works for an hour or two then goes back to no service, then back to working for a few hours and so on.
Does any one please know how to get this phone working back to normal.
Thanks.

RE: Help with UV fluorescent tube prob.
Thanks Spangles that`s exactly what I needed, I have put my order in. :D
Cheers mate.
Help with UV fluorescent tube prob.
Hi
I`m sorry but need some advice on a bit of a stupid question. The UV fluorescent tube in my bug zapper died, so I need a replacement.
The original tube part number is a F4T5/BL which is a 4 Watt and 6" long fluorescent tube with a T5 fitting on the ends.
When it is on, it shines a blue light but when it is off it just looks like a normal white fluorescent tube.
The nearest mach I could find is one from Maplin item code CR48C and is model number F4T5/BLB , but this tube is coloured blue even when it is off.
My question is would this be a save substantiate for my original and would the bug zapper work with this in it.
Any help would be most appreciated, Thanks.

RE: DVD recorder 160Gb hard drive £149.99
Found a multi region hack for this Targa on a different web site.
`It is basically, a OEM version of a Liteon 5045GDL+, the multi region hack is as follows:
1 Go to Setup menu
2 Highlight the exit icon
3 Type 2960
4 Select your region`
Worked for me no problem!!!
Enjoy

Hi
I know this is a bit off track but I have a question about connecting this DVD player to a TV.
I have been told to use component video cable to get the best picture on the TV, but that just sends the video not sound so question is what would be the best cable to get sound to the TV?
Thanks

MICO A980 DVD player
Hi
I am thinking of buying a MICO A980 DVD player but I have few questions.
1) I know that it’s multiregion but does it have macrovison disable?
2) If you have bought this player, then what’s the picture and sound quality play back like?
3) After using this player, what are your comments about it?
A big thank you in advance for anyone helping me with this.

I need some advice please
Hi
I need some advice about buying a dvd player.
I am interested in the WHARFEDALE DVD 750 from Tesco (£180)
or the APEX AD - 600A from Ionark (£300).
I know both have the option of playing R1 dvd disks but I don`t think the
wharfedale has a Macrovision option, plus the apex can play mp3 disks.
I do not know how good or bad the picture quality is on ether one of them.
and now I have just find out about the SCAN SC 2000 from scan (£187) I don`t
now much about this one, or how it stacks up against the other two?
Which one would you recommend, I should buy.
Thanks
Shokat
