From my experiences with the same problem, I can tell you that it seems to only happen when the transformer is running on a modified sine-wave.
What do you mean by that?  A "dirty" source of power where there are a lot of transients on the AC line?

  • HT5012 Why can't I use my iPhone in another country

    I bought my iphone5s in UK with a T-mobile sim in it and came back to Nigeria my home town. To use the iPhone 5s in Nigeria, using a Nigerian SIM card (MTN), it then refuse to activate the phone. It sent a message saying carrier server not supported...

    Usually this is done with a phone call. It will be up to you to learn how to call the UK from Nigeria. 
    Start from this website, then follow their instructions.

  • Why can't I activate my iMessage? It's been stuck on "waiting for activation" forever

    I just don't understand why it's been stuck on "waiting for activation"

    Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup.  Should fix.  You will not lose texts, etc.

  • Why can't i use my iphone 5 in Thailand?

    Hi everyone,
    I just went into my service provider and put a sim in my iphone 5, it came up with no service. I bought my phone online from the apple store and it wasn't part of a contract or anything which would cause it to be 'locked'. I previously had a iphone 4s and that worked fine. Bought that one exactly the same way as the 5. I have giffgaff while in the uk and that works fine. How come i can't use a Thai sim card? is it to do with my phone being locked or is it the carrier?
    Thanks guys

    Did you buy your iPhone without contract or unlocked - they are
    not the same thing even though the price is generally the same.
    Sounds like your iPhone is locked to a wireless carrier. You will have
    to contact that carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

  • Why can't I use my iphone 5 as an external hard drive?

    When I plug in my iPhone 5 into my PC, I should be able to see a new external drive connect.  I can do that with my older iphone 4/4s...but not with my iphone 5.  Why?  Is that feature gone???
    I'm just trying to backup my photo's and videos onto my own hard drive...now I can't.  *****!

    Appearing as an external hard drive was never a feature of any iPhone model or iOS version.  The only way your older phones could do this is if they are jailbroken.

    That's easily done as descibed here:

    If  you have a problem inporting photos/videos, see this:

  • HT201210 why can't i use my iphone 3s?

    it died.  i tried charging, but get i USB-->ITUNES Pic on my phone. I have tried to plug in to computer to restore, but it keeps giving error message.  ***!

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Why can't I use the Feedback Button in 4.0 Beta 1 (it says I need to update)?

    I'm trying to use Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 and wanted to send Feedback. When I click on Feedback it brings up the following text:
    "Oh! So, you want to offer us feedback on the next version of Firefox. Thank you, but you'll need to be a part of our Beta Program.
    To join, simply go to our download page and get the latest Firefox Beta!"
    It then takes me to the download page for Firefox 4.0 Beta 1. I've checked my About page, and it gives me the 4.0b1 version.
    I haven't restarted my computer yet, but it never asked me to, either.
    Please help
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to 4.0 Beta 1

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed. The Feedback page thinks you're using 3.0.10 .
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox

  • How can i browse using webbrowser to many pages one by one and waiting for each page to be completed loaded ?

    I have this method:
    string filename = "";
    private void GetHtmls()
    for (int i = 0; i < numberofforums; i++)
    uri = sourceUrlId + forumsIds[i] + sourceUrlNumber + 1;
    filename = uri.Substring(49);
    webBrowser1.Navigate(uri);
    And in the document completed event:
    string forums;
    private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
    if (e.Url.ToString() == uri)
    if (retrivedForumsInfo == true)
    targetHtmls = (combinedHtmlsDir + "\\"+ filename + ".txt");
    htmlloaded = true;
    StreamWriter write = File.CreateText(targetHtmls);
    write.Write(webBrowser1.DocumentText);
    write.Close();
    The problems are:
    1. When it's getting to the completed event already it's saving the text file with the id number of the second one in the ID's list.
        If in the method GetHtmls i used a breakpoint and see that forumsIds is 93 the first one when it's getting to the completed event  i see that the id there is already the second one like the loop continue or something.
       And if i will wait with the break point and click continue after some seconds the id will be the fourth or fifth depend on how long i'm waiting before click continue.
    2. When it's getting to the completed event after saving the text file it's not coming back to the GetHtmls method and not continue the loop and not navigating to the next page.
    I need to do it this logic:
    Make for loop navigate to the first page now wait somehow when it finished to save the text file of the first page in the completed event only then jump back to the GetHtmls method and continue the loop navigate to the second page and again wait/hold untill
    saving the text file of the seocnd page in the completed event. And so on all the loop in the GetHtmls.

    I tried it this way now and it's working untill the variable count is 5 then it stop and never continue i can't figure out why it stop and why when it's getting to 5(It's doing the 5 time but then stop and not continue).
    In the top of the form i did:
    private int counter = 1;
    private int countpages = 1;
    private int forumId = 0;
    private string uri;
    private bool htmlloaded = false;
    Then in the GetHtmls method:
    string filename = "";
    private void GetHtmls()
    uri = sourceUrlId + forumsIds[0] + sourceUrlNumber + 1;
    filename = uri.Substring(49);
    webBrowser1.Navigate(uri);
    Then in the document completed event:
    private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
    if (e.Url.ToString() == uri)
    if (retrivedForumsInfo == true)
    targetHtmls = (combinedHtmlsDir + "\\" + filename + ".txt");
    StreamWriter write = File.CreateText(targetHtmls);
    write.Write(webBrowser1.DocumentText);
    write.Close();
    htmlloaded = true;
    timer1.Enabled = true;
    Then in timer1 tick event:
    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    if (htmlloaded == true)
    uri = sourceUrlId + forumsIds[counter] + sourceUrlNumber + 1;
    filename = uri.Substring(49);
    webBrowser1.Navigate(uri);
    htmlloaded = false;
    timer1.Enabled = false;
    counter++;
    countpages++;
    I tried to use try and catch and a break point i couldn't find why it stop and what make it stop and what stopped ? Maybe the timer1 never continue ? But if the timer not continue why it stop when counter is 5 ?
    The number of id's in the List<int> forumsIds is 547 and it's equal to the number of forums 547.
    I still can't figure out why it stop on counter 5 and what make it stop.

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

  • Why can't I use data connection for FaceTime on iPhone 4

    My iPhone 4 says I have to use wifi in order to use my FaceTime and I was wondering why can I just use my AT&amp;T data connection instead.Every other iPhone could use their FaceTime but the 4 cant.We have an update to be able to use both ?

    As already provided:
    "I believe AT&T requires that you be on one of the "shared" data plans in order to do FaceTime over cellular. If so, either change your plan or complain to AT&T, as this has nothing to do with Apple."
