I cannot receive emails in Yahoo - Got hacked?

If your Yahoo email account was hacked and maybe you felt you have fixed things by changing all of your security credentials, but you noticed:
  • that you can send out emails, BUT you CANNOT receive new emails 

This might help you out.

Yahoo gave a hint to solving the problem, but it is not detailed especially for novice users. It might even be a challenge to advanced users.

The first thing that the hacker must have done was to (either hack you alternative email and is now using it to) forward all incoming mails to (that account) another email account.

1. You cannot access the right forwarding settings whilst using Yahoo's new Full Featured theme. Please change to the old Basic theme. Find instructions here on changing from Full Featured to Basic theme.

2. Now, we are back to our good old Basic theme. Lets just get used to it for few minutes and we can switch back to the future.

3. Click the drop-down menu at the top-right corner of you email...






4. Select 'Options' from the menu...





5. After selecting 'Options', click 'Go'...









6. The options window opens. Click 'POP & Forwarding' tab... (save after editing settings)















7. Finally, go to 'Mail Accounts' tab. Make sure 'reply-to address' is empty. Then select 'Full Featured...' option button... (save after editing settings).




After these edits, you should start receiving new mails from now on. You could do a test by sending yourself an email. If you receive it,....  :)

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5525n '49.38.07 error (4a04)' and 'PCL XL error'

Chrichtian Neal : HP CP5525 49.38.07 error (4a04) PCL XL error

CP5525 error

PCL XL error
      Subsystem: USERSTREAM
      Error:     MissingData
      Operator:  RectanglePath
      Position:  20626

49.38.07 error (4a04)


I started having the above errors and decided to do a firmware update. The process was not as easy as I thought but it was simple:

1. Download the firmware from here

2. Extract and save firmware file (eg: cljCP5525fw_2304070_439646.bdl) to USB thumb drive

3. The technical part: remove the two screws at the back of the printer as shown below:



4. Pull out the formatter (towards you)



5. Insert USB drive on formatter (board)



6. After inserting USB drive on board, replace formatter and turn on printer


7. Go to the printer's Control Panel display 



8. Now hit the HOME button and scroll to DEVICE MAINTENANCE -> USB Firmware Upgrade









9. Select the firmware and hit OK... DO NOT UNPLUG the printer while it is upgrading.

After the process completes, the device will restart and initialize.... after that, the error will go away.

Hope this was helpful....

and 10... do not forget to remove USB thumb drive before closing formatter.
