Any electrical gurus out there?

It's dead?

Tommy Toes has his flashing blue light on his van and is on his way through the traffic as we speak

Unfortunately he didn't bring his GPS

we need more info

satellite or dtv ?

will tv show dvds/games ?

If you have a CRT you might need to upgrade...though if you can see the graphics it might be a problem with the signal or something. Can you view the TV guide in full screen?

Haha! Flashing blue light has now conked out and I've had to find my way by morse code!

Funnily enough I had a similar problem with my original computer monitor. It would work okay for a bit but then went black - unless I shook my mouse on my mat vigorously.
That worked for a while but stopped eventually, so I started giving the monitor a good thump every time it went black.
That too worked for a while - then it gave up the ghost altogether and I had to buy a new pc and monitor.

You should have just bought a new mouse mat Tommy

haha! I tried swapping it - and am still using the cork tablemat I changed it with!

hehe, I am a real man, I don't need a mouse mat

Ha! I tried the bare wood of the desk - but kept getting bits of muck in the thingy hole and had to poke it out with a cotton bud!

That doesn't sound right

hehehe!

I ended up using some isopropyl alcohol on the end of it!
