  15. My internet is not working

    Do you have a link light on the router? Did you try connecting it directly to the cable modem? Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the card (driver wise)? Did you try disconnecting all other wires except yours?

    Not sure what that yellow light means, depends on the card. Find out why it's moved, someone must have done something or the card is done for (assuming the above all fails).

    I tried all but directly to the modem and reinstalling the drivers.

    bout to try it..

    Ok you guys i left to go to the hospital because i fucked my back all the way up on top of being ill.

    Well when i came home i noticed my wireless router moved, i go to get online and my desktop is not connected to the internet. Well i power down both the modem and the router, power up the modem, power up the router and still nothing.

    I go to check all the other computers, both laptops and the other desktop are working and online but mine aint.

    I hook up my TP-Link wireless adaptor that i bought to future proof my desktop and i can connect fine.

    When i go through the troubleshooting process i get " "Local area connection does not have valid IP configuration"

    Then i unhook the ethernet cable from the computer and try another and i get the same thing... Then i noticed this...

    Video was takin with my blackberry so bear with me

    The yellow light slowly flashing, it has never done that before.

  17. Cooling system leak

    ok my question is this, how bad was it overheating? if it was overheating to the point where the temp guage needle was pinned on the hot for a while that could have caused internal damage to the engine, mainly scoring to the piston walls, which can cause a loss of compression, excessive blowby, and the one thing everyone is concerned about, reduced gas mileage. anyway back to the cooling system, one thing to do is when the car is cold take the radiator cap off, start the car and let it warm up to normal operating temp (usualy around 210F) at that point you should be able to shine a light into the radiator and see the coolant flowing. if it isnt flowing at around 210 degrees f your thermostat is stuck shut, that isnt too bad, the thermostat isnt expensive at all. im almost positive that from what you are describing your thermostat is to blame.

    Thanks man that is what i am thinking to.

    As far as getting the radiator cap off that is a challenge in itself.

    yea i have common sense not to put water in there when its below freezing... I wont be doing it till Tuesday or Wednesday, it will be above 40 those days... also i will have to look i am not 100% where the thermostat is on this car.

    follow the top hose from the radiator to the engine, there are 2 bolts holding the housing the hose is attached to.

    Ok thanks man!

    I really do appreciate it, trying to get her car drivable again.

    Is called doing a pressure test. theres a special attachment that you put on to screw the cap on to it. You pump it up to the psi it says on the cap, if the needle drops the cap is bad. Then you screw the end on the resevoir. Pump it up to the same psi, and if the needle drops theres a leak in the system. Just look for coolant. Good luck to ya, hope its not the head gasket. :drinks:

    Thanks man i just got to rent the tool.. Pretty sure its the thermostat and maybe a leak.
