Problem: Sluggish and Unresponsive Calculator

My Ti-84 Plus Silver Edition became sluggish and unresponsive about 10 years ago. I bought a new Ti-84 and recently took out the Silver Edition one and tried to fix it.

Solution: 

• Use a compressed can of air and blow right into the I/O port and the USB port.
  • Dust particles are most likely shorting the signal. I was super skeptical to try it, I was 99% sure It wasn’t going to work, but it worked!!! 10 years too late :/ but hopefully it helps others!

As soon as I upgraded my Linksys E2500 V1 firmware to the 2.0 version, I noticed the 5ghz network would not broadcast, It kept stating the Channel and Band as “N/A” on the Status page even though they were both set to “auto”. Rebooted the router and even reset to factory settings and still nothing. This is an older router so Cisco probably didn’t spend even 1 minute testing this new firmware before pushing it to thousands of users who bought their product :/ . And they had the nerve to REMOVE the previous firmware so you couldnt downgrade to the previous version… wtf! It took some time but finally found a stock 1.0.07 firmware binary on a ddwrt forum. Flashed it and the 5ghz network came back right away.

Symptom: 

• 5Ghz network not broadcasted

Problem: Adobe Premiere Hangs on Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle. I’m using a 2013 retina macbook pro with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Cause: This has been happening when Adobe Premiere CS6 doesn’t close properly, my external hard drive where I host my videos has been randomly disconnecting (I suspect Mavericks is the cause).

Fix 1:

– Restart your computer 

– This has been the only thing that works for me, somebody suggested removing the ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle and  ImporterQuickTimeHost.bundlefrom the Applications content folder but this gave me an error and the tool wouldnt open.

Fix 2: 

Opening task manager and ending the process running called  ‘dynamiclink‘ . Once closed Premier Pro will open with no errors.

Here is a picture of where it hangs.

I’ve created a quick video on how to be sure you have genuine ATH-M50’s or ATH-M50X’s. They use the same drivers so they will be the same as ATH-M50’s show on the video.
