Your one cent coin (referred to as a "penny" by most people) can have value as a collectible or for the value of the copper.

Cdad, Thank you for all your help and suggestions. BTW, I try to click on "helpful" but it says I have to "spread it around" more before I give you another check mark. In any event I REALLY...

Just to close the loop a bit, for all of you who tried to help me, here's what happened:

So, after looking and looking, I found one of the online vendors I use selling the same camera -...

I will. Thank you!

I'm new to the iPad (iPad mini 2, 16 gb), mostly having used Windows for years. Is there a good app which will save an entire article or web page as a pdf? Articles have a way of disappearing and I...

Very good point. I need to look further.

Hmmm. Looks like it meets my needs. Got to talk to the boss. Thanks for doing the search!

Might opt for the new one for $20 more.

Well, most refurb sites at least give a 30-day warranty. Fwiw. If it works when I get it, odds are it'll work a while longer.

It could have been a "grab and go" camera before being pawned. <grin>

Sorry cdad, I just couldn't resist the straight line you fed me. It is a good idea.

Thanks. Enjoy your photography!

Life comes with so many tradeoffs. It used to be so easy buying milk, as we had only whole and 2 percent milk when I was a kid. Too complicated nowadays; four brands of just skim milk now per store....

HH, Yes, I totally agree I got way more than my moneys worth from this camera, 10,000 shots alone on the last international trip. The reason I'm reluctant to go beyond a bridge camera, other than...

Thank you for responding and yes, it does sound like it's internal. I'm still hoping for some brilliant MacGiver-like hack for what to look at. A small wire to solder. Unrealistic perhaps. Just...

ma0641, I guess that makes more economic sense than going to a repair place. It's just that, being an avid freecycler and trying to keep whatever I can out of the waste stream, I'd like to think it...

Bought this camera used from a neighbor as-is for $90. Got several great trips' worth of pictures out of it - my money's worth. On the last trip, I was shooting while a passenger in a car (closed...

Solved my own problem by reading solutions on various sites. Cleaned the contacts on side and bottom. New bulb works. Whew!

I've moved this Williamsburg-style brass chandelier from home to home with us. Last moved it in 1992. It uses small base bulbs, one of which just blew out after I tightened all of them, then...

Some years ago, I gave my In-laws a new Compaq Presario V5000 (with Celeron chip and small memory). It had SP2 on it, which I updated on various trips to SP3, etc. They had a problem and went to...

Well, the funny thing was - after I went through all those gyrations and research - it was one of those less-common RAVs without the immobilizer. A regular key cut by the hardware store worked...

I'll see if I can get it done this weekend. May have to wait until Monday. Thanks for the clues!

This is a compound question.

Older HP P4 2.6 GHz desktop was put away for a year. Just tried to boot it up to update it and computer turns right on, but no display comes up on the monitor and...

It never even appears in "my computer".

Well, I had 2 old laptops given to me by someone who had cracked their screens. They were old enough and new screens costly enough that I scrapped them for parts, basically just saving the IDE HHDs...

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kitch428 again."

Is there any way around this?

Well, I also had an off-line chat with a locksmith, who said it had to be done with the expensive equipment-which he didn't have. He did allow that it might still be possible to reprogram an old...

Keeptsimple-

So is what the wikianswers site seems to be saying is that I can take a new, unprogrammed key, have it cut at my local hardware store ($3-4), follow the procedure in the wiki...

All good points.

In regard to the number of keys before delivery, believe me the wife has been taking me to task over that. But then she was there and didn't ask the question either. The last...

Just bought a 2008 RAV4 with 9k miles on it from a local Toyota dealer to which the RAV was traded in on a smaller vehicle. Passed my look-see and my mechanics more detailed examination and...

So far - about 6 days - it's been running like a champ. Bob (my mechanic) does only toyotas and takes no new customers. Charged me all of $25 for all the time he spent and to install the battery.

Well guys, it ended up that it was the battery. Eventually, I got no response at all to turning on the ignition, not even the lights on the displays. Jumping the battery from the one in my running...

The system won't let me leave either of you feedback "until I spread more feedback around."

Thanks guys.

This car runs like a top (ordinarily), has 113k miles on it and a
Fairly new battery. It gets regular maintenance and was last used
Yesterday.

We tried to start it this afternoon, but only...

Background: I generally keep a strong spotlight with what I believe is a lead-aid battery (12V, like the car) connected in my cigar lighter to keep it charged. The gauge of the wire is NOT large,...

No. Diamonds, like all other gems, have characteristics like their hardness, luster, specific gravity (basically density) and refractive index. The old test of using a diamond to "cut a diamond" -...

Well guys, I tried the battery from our Toyota and the Honda fired right up. Took the dead battery back to where I got it (it had an 84 month warranty) and they replaced it, no problem. The Honda...

OK. I have a perfectly good battery of the same type in the toyota. Should I switch that into the Honda and see if that does the trick? I would assume that - if it's just a real dead battery -...

Umm, been trying to charge the battery (just 18 months old) at 2 amp rate, but meter now reads 3 amps, instead of going DOWN to 1 amp rate. Does this mean I should stop charging? Been charging for...

Should I use my battery charger to charge up this *dead* battery in the meantime?

Battery was replaced in May 2005, by the mechanic who later sent me on to the dealer. I will clean the contacts and let you know, probably tomorrow.

To add to the info available, the dealer replaced the coil and igniter in May 2005. They charge an arm & leg, but the local mechanic couldn't even diagnose the problem.

Well, my wife parked her 96 Accord wagon with VTEC engine in the garage and apparently left the headlamps on. Battery appears to be dead. Used the shift release lever to get it out of park, since...
