Hello, have a CRT television with white and yellow RCA in the back, and a 3.5 presumably for audio (it has a headphone symbol above it) in the front. I have been using the RCA for video transmission from my laptop with the help of a signal converter from Amazon. However, it does not play my laptop's audio. I've tried using a M/M 3.5 cable to hook the sound port up to my laptop, but it still doesn't work. I made sure my laptop is using the right output. The TV just won't do it. What am I missing?

Shooting on Supercolor 635. Made a mistake and forgot that you’re not supposed to take the film cartridge out after the darkslide has been ejected. Two undeveloped shots came out as a result, one from error, one from testing. Any way to get them back in? If not, what to do with them?

Lent someone my camera to take a picture of me and the shutter button is loose now. Still works but it presses with essentially no resistance and it seems like something I should nip in the bud before it gets worse? Anyone have any experience with this issue on the Supercolor or a similar camera? I suspect it’s a bearing issue but even if I’m right, I’m not sure how to fix that.

Recently picked up an old Technics component deck from a thrift store. It works well for playback after I bought some adapters. The trouble is when I try to record. The button simply won’t press down. Tried side A and B, same result. Looked for anti-record tabs on the tape and didn’t see any. Is it a tape problem or a deck problem? It’s the only blank tape I have so I’d prefer to be sure before recording on a different tape.
