Lexmark firmware error

"error 900"
Icon Time

Quick fix

After being idle or off the 900 Firmware's error is indicated when the printer starts printing.

The 900 error only appears when the printer is receiving information from a computer or network. Contact your local helpdesk or software/network support first. This is due to a communication problem with the software or your network.

However, if the error occurs when the printer is idle or not connected to the network or PC, there might be a hardware or connection problem. Sometimes a bad connection with an internal network adapter/card can cause this issue.

Fortnite firewall error

Icon Time

Quick fix

Fortnite is one of the biggest online games of our time. With over 125 million users since its introduction on multiple platforms, bugs develop from time to time.

If you have problems playing Fortnite or cannot connect to Battle Royale, you should check the servers first. While the search for possible end user problems is fine, most connection problems occur within the game's servers. A common reason for connection problems issues is a scheduled downtime due to updates. Maintenance and planned outages, though not as common, are sometimes communicated by the publisher or developer in advance. Below you can find ways to check if there is a problem with Fortnite servers.
