Cell Phone Repairing Tips MAIN IDEA
Sometimes your cell phone doesn’t work
properly. Blank displays, failure to
recharge and frozen screens are some
common problems faced by owners.
Most phone malfunction problems stem
from the phone’s operating system that is
stalling out or trying to carry out a bad
request. The easiest way to fix problems
due to these software issues is to perform
a system reset. First, you have to try the
soft reset. Turn the power off and turn it
 on after a few minutes. The soft reset is
the best way to fix a frozen display or
when the system has made a bad request.
If the soft reset doesn’t work, you have
to try the hard one. A hard reset is used
when you have a frozen operating system
or a locked keyboard. For this solution
you have to open the battery door and
remove the battery. When you remove
the battery, the operating system is
forced to restart and clean the error.

The perfect homemade Lasagna is easy to make with ingredients you probably
already have on hand. This recipe can easily be turned into Lasagna.

First, cook beef in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no
longer pink; drain. Stir in pasta sauce.

Next, spread one-third of meat sauce in a lightly greased 11-x 7- inch baking dish ;
layer with 3 noodles and half each of ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese. (The
ricotta cheese layers will be thin.) Repeat procedure; spread remaining one-third of
meat sauce over mozzarella cheese. Slowly pour ¼ cup hot water around inside edge
of dish. Tightly cover baking dish with 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminium foil.

And then, bake at 375° for 45 minutes; uncover and bake 10 more minutes. Let stand
10 minutes before serving.

Finally, note: For testing purposes only, we used Classico Tomato & Basil pasta
sauce.

Chef's notes
This dish pairs well with green beans, mushrooms. Broccoli, asparagus, salad, or an
assortment of roasted vegetables. One could swap out the beef for chicken or sausage,
or one could replace red sauce with white sauce. Additional cheese could also be
added. When entertaining guests, this could be served with the classic bread and salad
combination.
