  1. One day I was out riding my bike, when i accidentally crashed into a wall and fell over, and then
    found that the back wheel was scraping against that bar on the side of it (i'm a novice with bikes,
    don't know what it's called) and then and the peddles wouldn't turn, even though i peddeled as hard
    as i could, and only moves if i pull it back, but it goes back straight away!!! i haven't told
    anyone, i need to fix it quick please tell me how to fix it.

    P.S The wheel is not bent

    or other child labor.

    I smell a troll... PDAs do not carry high voltage, and the operation to replace the screen is
    nothing more than a hassle and a bit expensive (for the glass/touchscreen).

    If its not, kid, learn to accept the consequences for what you've done. Plus, its hard to get
    electric shocks from a bike.

    Now that sounds like an excellent mod for a PDA. I'd be willing to sacrifice battery life for a
    "taser" compact flash module.

    Call me a geek, will you? BBBZZZZzzzzzz!

    Since the PDA was plugged in you might get a shock somehow but I dont believe you as you are in the
    UK (213.48.1.135 gives it away) and the maqins connector would have an integral earth wire. Thus
    making the chance of receiving any decent size shocks negligible.

    As for the bike I am guessing its got two nuts on the rear axle that have come loose and hence
    twisting the wheel when power is applied. To fix simply realign wheel and tighten nuts.

    If you are a kid you owe it to your dad to confess and offer to fix / pay for damages. If you are a
    troll get a better line!

    The mains connector might not have had an earth connector. A lot of consumer goods are double
    insulated, so you don't have an earth connector.

    Of course, I very much doubt you'd have mains voltage going into a PDA anyway. Surely it would have
    some sort of brick.

    Pull the wheel back where it's straight, and tighten the nuts on each end of the axle until the
    wheel stays where you put it.
