Beats Solo 3 Wireless Headphones on Amazon

Here is how I fixed the Beats Solo 3 Wireless headphones to fix the problem with audio not working on one side when connected with bluetooth. In my particular case the right ear cup (the one with the micro-USB connector) was not producing any sound.

SSD Secure Erase – The selected drive is in a Frozen state

Samsung EVO 860 SSD Drive on Amazon

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Create the Samsung SSD Secure Erase Utility CD or USB using the Samsung Magician software
Write down the serial number of your SSD drive that you want to erase, either using the Samsung Magician software or by physically looking at the bottom of the SSD drive.
Keep your computer case open and make sure you have access to the power cable connected to the SSD drive
Boot up from the Samsung SSD Secure Erase Utility CD or USB
When you get to the disclaimer and warning message, press Y
Drive scan will commence and may take a few minutes
Once the scan is complete it will list all the drives it found
Locate the drive number that contains the serial number for the drive you are trying to secure wipe and write down this number (e.g. 01, 02, 03)
The program will then ask you for each drive in the list if you want to wipe it, if the drive displayed matches the serial number of the drive you want to secure wipe press Y, otherwise press N to continue through the list
At this point if you pressed Y and you get the error message “The selected drive is in a Frozen state” you will need to follow the steps below, otherwise if the secure wipe completed successfully you are done
To get passed the Frozen state error you will actually need to disconnect the SATA power cable from your SSD drive while the computer is on
After you have disconnected the SATA power cable from the SSD drive go back to the program and press the Esc key
Program will then proceed to ask you if you want to wipe any additional drives, just keep pressing N until you get passed the last drive
Then it will take a few minutes and it will exit to a DOS command prompt window
Once you see the black screen with the A:\SAMSUNG\SECERASE command prompt you will need to connect back the SATA power cable to the SSD drive (this unfreezes the drive) while your computer is still on (do not turn off your computer at any point)
Now go back to the command prompt and type: dir
The dir command will list the contents of the CD or USB drive
At the bottom you should see a file named SEGUI0.EXE
At the prompt you will need to type: SEGUI0.EXE /s and then press the Enter key
Now repeat steps 5 through 10 again and this time the utility should be able to perform the secure erase on the drive without the Frozen drive warning

How to Turn Off Dryer Buzzer

Step-by-Step Instructions For Disabling Dryer Buzzer on Kenmore Top-Down Washer Dryer:

Disconnect your washer/dryer from the electrical outlet (very important to avoid getting electrical shock)
Using a Phillips screwdriver remove the two large screws under the washer/dryer knob assembly
As you are removing the 2nd screw make sure to hold the metal piece that the screws are keeping in place so that it doesn’t slam down
After removing the two screws gently put down the outer metal piece exposing the inside of the dryer
Next using the same Phillips screwdriver remove six additional screws that are now visible after removing the outer metal panel that are keeping the knob assembly in place
After removing the screws hold the knob assembly from the bottom and slowly let the top portion come down towards you
This will expose the washer/dryer controls and wires
Clean up any dust and debris from the controls and wires with a compressed air canister or by hand.
On the left hand side directly behind the dryer knob is where you want to look for the timer for the dryer
On the timer control box you will see wires connected to terminals designated by a letter, you want to look for the terminal that is designated by the letter “H” towards the back of the control
Go ahead and disconnect the black wire from the terminal labeled as “H” as this is the wire that is connected to the dryer buzzer which makes the annoying loud sound
Next get a hold of some electrical tape and wrap the end of the wire with enough tape so that no metal is exposed and make sure that the wrap is nicely tight and secure
Place the knob assembly back in place
Screw the six screws back into the knob assembly screwing it on to the washer/dryer frame
Lift the outer metal piece back up and then screw in the two larger screws
You’re done. No more annoying loud buzzer sound!!!

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset Unboxing and Full Review vs. Astro A50 headset

Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 Surround Sound Gaming Headset on Amazon

The Razer Tiamat 7.1 are a very expensive gaming headset. It does have some premium features such as an external sound mixer with a large knob for adjusting the volume. The audio mixer has three buttons on it and they perform the following functions: mute/unmute sound, switch between pc speakers and headphones, and a button to switch between stereo and 7.1 surround sound. The last smaller knob on the audio mixer is a selector for choosing between adjustments for main volume, front, center, side, mic volume, sub, and rear. The Razer Tiamat 7.1 is completely wired and requires you to have 7.1 audio connectors on your computer as opposed to the Astro A50’s which are wireless and instead relies on simulated 7.1 software based surround sound. The earcups were a decent size, but I found them to be a little bit too small that they didn’t completely go over my ear so you do feel some discomfort on the ears after using these past an hour, the Astro A50’s on the other hand completely covered my ears.
