Comcast Error S0a00 (aka "One Moment Please" error)

Error code S0A00 generally means a cable is not connected well. Check all connections from the wall outlet all the way through to your TV. That always works for me when I get S0a00 (seriously!).

After checking for looseness, run the cable directly from the wall into the back of the TV (bypassing all the devices), if that works then one-by-one re-connect the devices to see where the problem lies.

If that doesn't work, this from Xfinity's support site:

Error code S0A00
If you have been receiving the S0A00 error message for more than one hour, a live technician will need to troubleshoot the issue with you. Please determine if the error message is appearing on all TVs in your home, or just one before you contact us. 1-800-COMCAST (1-800-266-2278).

How to report "Google Search" Problems

Here's where you can report issues with Google Search. I especially like the choices, "The results included spam" and "The results included a page that was irrelevant").

Google Search

Here's what the form looks like on that web page:

"Give us feedback

Excel - How to Round Data Labels in Charts

Here's how to change your chart labels from actual data to something like $1K.


Apply it by right-clicking the data label and going to the number tab, then in the Custom category. Type $0,"k" in the "type" box and hit OK. 


[If using Microsoft 2007, then click on the "Format" tab, "Format Selection", "Number" and then type into "Format Code" box: $0,"k".]


Jon Peltier (first link below) has a great page of information about number formats, and he spells out thousands, millions, etc., specifically toward the bottom of the page. The Office Online article will also give you a good overview so you can understand what's going on with the dollar sign and the K inside quotation marks. Thanks to Echo S.

Blackberry - Calendar not syncing

Desktop app shows Calendar (not installed):

"When opening Organizer within BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0, the calendar shows as not installed."

Blackberry has a temporary workaround:

Perform the following steps:

1. Back up the data on the BlackBerry smartphone. See KB23680. 
2. Delete all data and applications from the BlackBerry smartphone using the Wipe Handheld option. See KB14058.
3. Restore the data to BlackBerry smartphone. See "restore data' in KB23680 link above.
4. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer and open the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
   Calendar (not installed) will no longer be present.

Re: Blackberry Curve 8330 and Desktop Manager v5.0
by sdgardne, VZN network

I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.

1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)

2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:

• KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software

3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:

• http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/

• Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):

• KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization

4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:

• http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

5) Install DTM to your PC

6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package

7) Start the organizer configuration over:

• KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager

Hopefully that will get things going again.
