I need a VPN app for sony NSZ-GS7 to be able to open netflix in another country?

You are not alone. The Sony is superb, but I havnt found a VPN service that can be used with this unit. You can use direct subscription services such as filmon.com or Expat Telly via the Chrome browser.

Ps2 powers up, but disc is not spinning and

Following could be the reasons for not spinning any PS2 disc:
  • A dirty laser. Try cleaning the laser and see if it helps. If you can see crust or dust covering the laser eye, it may not be strong enough to read anything at all. If the laser looks clean, this is probably not the issue.
WATCH this video to clean lens


  • An unplugged laser cable. These things normally do not come out by themselves, but if you opened the ps2 that was spinning OK to clean the laser and/or removed the laser to clean it, plugged it in, now it's spinning 1/2 of a turn, the laser cable may not be in securely. If it is in securely, make sure it is plugged into the motherboard end properly.
  • A dead laser. On models 30001, 35001, and some 30001R, this is the most likely issue. These models are old and the original lasers were a bit unreliable.

No Spin At All If your spindle hub is NOT SPINNING AT ALL, NOT EVEN 1/2 OF A TURN, it may be bad or unplugged. A tell tale sign of it being unplugged is if you hit eject, the laser moves down the rail, and starts grinding because the PS2 keeps trying to move it down the rail even though it hit the end. There's a small switch on the spindle hub that tells the unit to stop pushing the laser because it's reached the end. Spindle hubs usually do not go bad by themselves, usually either the PS2 too a bad fall and it became bent [try spinning it by hand], or someone the cable out and put it in too many times [or incorrectly] and the silver contacts on the cable were detached.

STR-DB840 no sound in speakers

There are 4 blue relays in the unit that has solder points that will crack over time.
It´s fairly "easy" to re-solder them and viola, it´s OK again.

open the cover (unscrew and take of the hood) and locate the 4 blue relays.0cddb82.jpg Unscrew and remove the bottom service plate and locate the soldering points for the 4 relays.c0f1d35.jpg
Each relay has 6 solderings, 4 in one "groop" and 2 in one "groop" look especially at the "2-groop" these are the ones most likely to crack over time ( for me 12 years or so).3436d08.jpge6f7344.jpg
Re- solder. Best of luck //Ronnie Stockholm

I have a Digitax F2 taxi meter. The display will

I just had this problem with my Digitax f2.My car came out of the garage after 3 days.The meter turned on, and displayed the correct date, time, and year.I returned home \'till I went out to work at 10pm.When I went out to work, I took my first fare, and tried to start the fare on the meter.It showed error 666666.As I drive a Hackney, it is illegal to work without a meter.Consequently, I had to go home, and loose a nights work.The next morning, I went to my local Digitax rep, and had it fixed with their Microchip Key, in a couple of minutes.The rep told me that as the cars\' battery had been removed, and replaced, this action had disabled the meter.The moral of this story is when you get your taxi back from a garage, make sure that your Digitax meter is working properly, by setting a fare. Also, make sure that you pick up the car in time to get to your local Digitax rep, to get any problems fixed the same day.

Flashing blue light on sound bar. No sound

Double check to make sure you don't have the "mute" on. Usually a flashing light indicates that the volume has been muted.
