whoo great, TV screen is black – but no photo powers on – what to check? I have a Samsung TV and the TV screen is black. The powers on, but I am unable to see a picture. The TV picture flashes for a second or two and then the screens turns completely black. It is just black screen and nothing else. I can light the electric light so I know the Television is on and on. I don’t hear the sound even though the TV screen is black. My TV is 65 TV 4K Smart LED HDTV and the black screen is just visible. I am unable to watch TV because the black screen is static. Does this mean the screen or main panel is bad? If an LED or LED goes bad, does the picture flash and then the black screen appears continuously? What are some things I can check before I call for repair or warranty service? https://www.acerrorcode.hindustaniexpress.com/tv-screen-is-black

Makeup Protector
Friedlander Rosenzweig 8 years ago
So many things come to mind. First off, I commend he young woman for being innovative, but I wouldn't fool around with eye makeup due to bacteria and possible eye irritation. I've left it on by accident and whoa... big mistake. Secondly, if your hair is that dirty that it really needs to be washed, why wasn't it done before doing your eye makeup? Just how long are you leaving that makeup on? Third, there are some good "dry" shampoos for times you are in a pinch. Other posters make good points about carefully using the sink. I've done it- very possible, just not optimal.

This really works. About 40 years ago I bought a 100ml tube of walnut oil (with a sponge applicator on top) from an antique furniture restorer. Rub it on a new scratch and it looks like the scratch was part of the history of the piece. Don’t rub the nut inside on the scratch as it may put bits into the grain. Rather put the nut inside between some paper towel, squeeze with pliers and rub the furniture with the amazing amount of oil that ends up on the paper towel. My own hack.

You Can Turn Your Old Bicycle Into A Sink Stand
Sigrid Vinter 9 years ago
Takes up a lot of space, os not very useful, makes cleaning hard.. Why not just sell the bike or donate it to people who send bikes to African countries where they get a second life?
Brandon Mcleod 8 years ago
Sometimes a bike just can't be fixed or if the frame is cracked or broken but could still be used decorative like in a garden or what not. It's about reusing things for an alternate purpose not wasting good items.

I sort of copied this by wrapping that green rubbery coated garden wire 9x. It looks like my old landline phone cord. I like the pen coil, but figured I'd get stuff caught in it and the time factor.

Also, if you buy any cords with warnings about cancer causing materials and needing to wash your hands after use, you'll now have a barrier so you won't have to touch the risky material.
