Is your printer not printing?
Here are two quick things you can do before calling for help:

1. Run a Print Head Clean
Every printer has a built-in cleaning system.
Go to Settings → Maintenance and run Print Head Cleaning.

2. Do a Nozzle Check
After the cleaning, run a Nozzle Check.
Your printer will print a pattern that shows if all colours are working properly.

If nothing prints, or the gaps don’t disappear, the nozzles are more severely clogged.
At this point the printhead often needs a stronger cleaning, like soaking the nozzles in warm water or alcohol to dissolve dried ink.

How to prevent clogs:
-Print a small test page every 1–2 weeks
-Keep the printer plugged in
-Don’t let cartridges run completely dry

Need help?
If your nozzle check shows gaps or no black/colour at all, I can try to unclog the nozzles and bring your printer back to life.

I spent a few hours today customising my own laptop and turned the desktop into a little neon shelf setup… and honestly, it looks so much cooler. I love it.

If anyone wants something similar, I’m happy to make custom versions for your PC or laptop too.
No crazy prices, no “£££ designer fees.”
Just something affordable because we’re all working hard for our money and life is expensive enough as it is.

Everything is fully personalised:
-your categories
-your colours
-your icons
-your layout
-your name or branding if you want it

Here’s mine as an example.
If you like it, I can make yours too. 💻✨

Phone Storage Always Full? Try This.

If your phone keeps warning you that storage is full, here’s what actually helps:

1. Stop WhatsApp from saving every photo and video
Go to WhatsApp → Settings → Chats → Save to device (or Media visibility) and turn it off.
This stops every meme, photo, and video from auto-downloading to your gallery.

2. Delete app junk
Go to Settings → Storage and tap each app to clear cache.
This removes temporary files you don’t need.

3. Back up your photos
Use Google Photos (Android) or iCloud Photos (iPhone).
Once backed up, delete them from the phone to free space.

4. Remove unused apps
If you haven’t opened an app in weeks, uninstall it.

Small steps like these free up gigabytes and make your phone run smoother.

Your phone battery is draining fast? Here's 3 common quick fixes.

1. Brightness too high
Lower it or turn on auto-brightness. It makes a big difference.

2. Too many apps running in the background
Close them properly (not just minimise).
Also you can reduce unnecessary background usage by going to Settings → Battery → Background usage (or App info).
Disable background activity for apps you don’t need constantly.
Background apps constantly use CPU, WiFi and mobile data.

3. Your screen timeout is too long
If your phone stays on for 2–5 minutes after you stop using it, it wastes battery.
Set screen timeout to 30 seconds or 1 minute.

Why Your WiFi Is Slow (3 real causes)

1. Your router is on the floor
WiFi hates being low down.
Place it high and in the open.

2. Too many devices
Phones, TVs, tablets, laptops, all fighting for bandwidth.

3. Old router firmware
Go to your router’s admin page and check for updates.
Most people never do this, and it makes a big difference.

Simple changes → better WiFi.

3 things you can do right now to speed up your Windows PC (no downloads):

1. Remove startup apps
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc → Startup.
Disable anything you don’t use daily.

2. Clean temporary files
Press Windows + R → type %temp%
Delete everything inside.
(These are safe to remove.)

3. Uninstall junk you don’t use
Settings → Apps → Installed apps
Sort by “Size” and remove pointless software.

None of this will break anything, and all of it makes a noticeable difference.
