Help. Still having problems balancing even with the corrections I made

Just did this exact problem myself. You can't really tell from the format on this page, but the issue is that on the initial trial balance Cash is credit when it should always be a debit, and Unearned Service Revenue is a debit when all Revenue accounts are credits. After you fix that, make the other adjustments and it should come out correctly.
