To fix, you will need:

• Cable tie tool (optional)
• Sharp knife
• Cutting pliers
• TWO CABLE TIES (small size

Steps:

1. Find the right size cable tie.  Cable tie should be the smaller kind, about the same size as the Ethernet plug’s broken tab.

2. Wrap one cable tie around the other and snip the cable ties to fit accordingly.

3. Bend the Cable Tie #1

4. Use the Cable Tie #2

4. Done (Almost)

5. Tune It

          Tune the position and bends of the cable tie #1, so that it acts as a spring.

6. Now, Use It !

Insert the repaired plug as shown.

You should get this beloved "click" noise again!

Restarting Windows to install updates, fix a temporary annoyance or add new apps is a pain. Luckily, a simple fix exists that most don’t realize and it doesn’t require you to restart at all. Instead, we’re going to kill Windows Explorer (temporarily) and force it to reboot. Once it does, the computer things it’s been rebooted, and your updates will continue to install as normal.


1. Right click the Start menu or press CTRL + Alt + Delete.

2. Select Task Manager.

3. Find in the list of processes.

When you're browsing through your hard drive in  Windows Explorer, most folders open quickly. However, the Downloads folder, which is one of the most frequent and important places on your computer, often takes 10 seconds or longer to fully load. While you watch in frustration, a status bar in Explorer slowly fills itself for no apparent reason, even if you have a fast computer with a speedy SSD.

The slow-loading Downloads folder problem occurs because, by default, Windows is trying to create thumbnails for photos and videos in the folder, even if none of the files are pictures. With a quick settings change, you can make the Downloads folder open quickly in Windows 7, 8 or 10. Here's how. 

1. Open File Explorer. You can get there by hitting Windows Key + E or clicking on the explorer icon in your task-bar.

2. Right click on the Downloads shortcut in the right window pane and select Properties.

3. Navigate to the Customize tab.

4. Select "General items" from the "Optimize this folder for:" list. and click OK.

Perhaps it happened when you plugged in or detached an external monitor. Maybe you just hit the wrong key somehow, but now your Windows desktop is sideways, positioned in portrait mode while your screen is in landscape (horizontal) view. You can't even read the text without tilting your head or turning your display on its side. 

There are a couple of ways to fix a sideways screen in Windows; these methods work in Windows 7, 8 and 10

Rotate Screen with a Keyboard Shortcut

Hit CTRL + ALT + Up Arrow and your Windows desktop should return to landscape mode. You can rotate the screen to portrait or upside-down landscape, by hitting CTRL + ALT + Left Arrow, Right Arrow or Down arrow.

Rotate Screen with a Display Settings Menu

1. Right click on the desktop and select Display settings.

2. Select Landscape from the orientation menu.

3. Click Apply (or OK)

4. Click Keep Changes when prompted.

Hope this will help you to solve your problem. Keep in touch!
