This. With AdBlock+ in place, any video that has an advertisement will be blocked and the video will start automatically as if there was no ad.
 
Hi, my name is Seven is a Color and for some reason I can't play GBA games on my DS. Whenever I insert a GBA game into the GBA slot on the DS, one of two things happens.
1) The DS doesn't even acknowledge its existence. Instead of being able to play from the menu, it says there's no game inserted.
2) It lets me play it, but the game crashes a few seconds after I start it.

I can still play DS games on my DS. I experience no issues with those.

Is this a known problem, and does it have a solution? It's been happening for the past few years, since at least 2011 or 2012.
 
Well, case number two means the contacts are making at least a partial connection, so it's not likely that the slot is completely kaput. You could always try the 'old-school' fix of blowing into the cartridge/slot. Alternatively, try tipping the cartridge at slight angles to get a better connection in the slot (don't force it or you really will break something). Beyond that, it could be an issue with corrosion/damage to the contacts inside your DS or a loose part/cable inside

How do I block the ads that show temporarily on the left side of videos? They are the small ones that appear and disappear after a few seconds and they reappear before the video ends. Also how do I block the link ads that are scattered all over the picture on Lyric videos? The ones that will link you to other artists music if you click one by accident. My tablet hides all this as well. How do I do this on the PC? Thanks XD.:)
 
Just got this hand-me-down Xbox 360 and holy shiznit is it loud. Is there ANY way to make it quieter. I already tried using condensed air to see if it just had a lot of dust but that didn't work. Any tips?
 
What do you mean it is loud? Does it squeal like a pig sound or fingers on a chalk board or worse than that? Also does it buzz? If it buzzes it is dying XD.:)
 
Is it in game audio, or is it like a bad fan? If it is game audio turn down the TV, and if it is the bad fan it is probably dying.
 
Do you even get a picture and sound at all or is it just the box itself? If the box it is dying for sure XD.:)
 
Hi there.
I'm having a problem with my DS Lite's screen. Yesterday I accidentaly dropped its stylus onto the upper screen and at first it seemed fine but when turning the console on, I noticed that a few pixels were black or didn't light up, and today when turning it on, the black pixels (which were only 11) were now more like 30 but while playing, some eventually started giving light and dissapearing (not being black anymore) so my question is if it's possible that all of them will return to normal?

If it's anything like what happened to my 3DS, it's likely the actual liquid in the liquid crystal display is leaking through a crack in the glass/plastic covering it, which would appear black since it's unable to receive power. The leaked liquid will occasionally shift, revealing the pixels underneath and making it seem like they're working again (when the never really stopped working; it's just that some of the liquid was obscuring them). try tipping your DS up and down and see if you can still see the pixels behind the black. If you can ,the screen is just leaking a little (mine was MUCH worse and obscured over 75% of the screen eventually, but yours sounds very minor). Some screen repair shops may still support screen repairs/replacements to older DSs, so I suggest asking around there first since Nintendo tends to gouge unreasonably on such repairs.
 
I'll try put it upside down with the battery side on top to see if the liquid (which I didn't know it had!) goes back, though that's not a solution.
I don't think I'll have any luck with screen repair shops since my country is a small one so the offer isn't that much. That said, I'll try it nevertheless.
Thank you very much for your reply!
 
If you rub back and forth and carefully push on it you can get it to all disappear in roughly 2 weeks. I dropped my first DSL once and got a small square of liquid then it moved to the far right and by pushing on it and moving back and forth I got it to disappear after about 2 weeks of doing this. If you don't know your strength do not do this though.:)

But, rub and push to where, to the hole where it broked!? Also, will using the stylus do it too, instead of a finger? Is that a definitive solution?
Thanks in advance.
 
Don't use the stylus. Push and rub where the black lines are. It is hard to do but it takes a lot of time. The black will move every day until it reaches one of the sides and it takes like 3 weeks to disappear or even a bit longer.:)
 
How do I move my saved backgrounds into my saved computer folder?

I have one saved there now directly but that was because I transferred it directly from my tablet into my email. However I have one saved in Firefox but I want it moved to my folder and I have another backgrounds saved in another placed which I want in the same folder as well. When I go to the Control panel to select theme al it says is save theme or delete them but I can't move it or them. How do I actually move the files? Mods please move in right place if wrong forum. Thanks XD.:)
